If BJ's pick up 2 ineach game in hand they will be right on Sabres tail 1 pt back. Eulers only team in action tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kas23 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I think it's time for GMTM to pull a trade to help improve this team. We cannot go into the later half of the season tied for 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I think it's time for GMTM to pull a trade to help improve this team. We cannot go into the later half of the season tied for 1st. Sabres went 5-3-2 this past 10 game segment. Continuing that 'torrid' pace would give them 100 points heading into the last 2 games of the year. In a normal year 100-104 should be enough to get it done, but this year it might not be 'good' enough to get it done. With home & homes w/ Moe-ray-all and TB in this segment and a likely reliance on Jhonas for most of the next several, 6-4 is in all likelihood the floor w/ 7-2-1 being very realistic. That sort of pace carried over a full season would get the job done in spades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 The ugliest: Sabres with another loss in what should've been an easy win... Typical Buffalo. I believe San Jose has done something to anger the hockey gods, losing seven straight to the Sabres is unparalleled. A Corsi Rating of -35 and only getting 14 Shots normally is enough to get the job done in the CHL and will be enough in many games moving forward. Plus the Guppies where playing their seventh and final game of a road trip and at times appeared to mailing it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 If Buffalo could only play San Josie and TO we'd already have a Stanley Cup. How long is the streak against San Jose now anyway? I feel like the Sabres have never actually beaten that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X. Benedict Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I think I heard they are 15-1 against them, now 16-1 I know there is no rational connection. But in my world it is on ongoing tribute to flight 3407. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cereal Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I think I heard they are 15-1 against them, now 16-1 Oh nice. I thought I saw the Sabres are at eight straights wins in the series, two of those eight coming in shootout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Oh nice. I thought I saw the Sabres are at eight straights wins in the series, two of those eight coming in shootout. It's 8 straight losses in this thread. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Ok, now that the Sabres have won 2 in a row, I hope they quit this winning and get back the priority of the McEichel sweepstakes. Please just stop scoring. I can deal with 0-1 losses. Keep playing solid D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pi2000 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Kinda expectin' a healthy dose of Jhonas to 'right the ship' so to speak. In their last 2 "losses", Buffalo has been outshot a combined 64-49. Their CorsiFor% is 6 percentage points worse than any other team in the league. In otherwords, they are due to go on a winning streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 The Oilers are not built for a CHL title run but they answered that riddle with coaching. I'll be shocked if he makes it the season. I think they might contend for a low playoff spot with a better coach, but they're not perennial playoff team with that roster. I'm actually starting to hate the Oilers. ###### off, you already had your three number one picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LastPommerFan Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Edmonton is just plain cheating. Too Few Men should result in penalty in the CHL, no? perhaps a forfeiture of draft picks?

WildCard Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I mean holy ###### Eakins. How bad do you have to be to A) not realize that and put someone out there and B) have your players not into the game to the point where nobody else does. I'll say it again: No way do him and Carlyle make it to next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubkev Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Didn't the sabres have a couple 10 or 15 second stretches with too few man under Rolston last year early on, or maybe it was late 2 years ago. Or maybe I'm misremembering. I'm pretty sure I've yelled at the TV for this in the not so distant past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
