TheFunPolice Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) The sad part is that these Sabres players want more than anything to stick a dagger right into the heart of the fans who cheered for the other team in their building. It's driving these guys. So don't expect any lackluster effort. They WANT to derail "the tank" to get payback against the people who they think were out to embarrass them. Those who cheered Arizona scoring in OT hurt the players, and so the players BADLY want to hurt the fans back. Most of them know they were brought in here because the organization thought they would lose and that they are about to be out of work, so it's really a final parting shot for them. Nothing feels better than getting over on an organization that you feel wronged you. Few have the chance that these guys do and they are 100% into this.

Trettioåtta Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Ennis enters the shower after an intense workout. The light starts to flicker. The hair on the back of his neck stands up. He knows he is being watched. He turns around. Tim Murray is stood there, face masked in shadow. Casually held in his right hand is 2ft of lead pipe. "You don't look well, Tyler. Looks like you might have the flu. Or perhaps i'm wrong. Maybe you've got a lower body injury..." Tyler bows his head. He knows what must be done.

Calgary and Winnipeg were eliminated with the LA loss (and Calgary win). Tomorrow: The top seven draft lottery positions are all locked if Columbus beats Buffalo in regulation. If Columbus gets a point then Philadelphia clinches seventh. Pittsburgh can be eliminated with a win against the Islanders tomorrow.

Taro T Posted April 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Current standings through games played 4/9. Team GP L W OT PT MPP PR RPTC M# CPM Buffalo 80 49 23 8 106 110 4 3 2 19.4 Arizona 81 49 24 8 106 108 2 3 5 14.2 Edmonton 80 43 24 13 99 103 4 -- 11.5 Toronto 81 44 30 7 95 97 2 -- 9.5 Carolina 81 40 30 11 91 93 2 -- 8.5 New Jersey 81 35 32 14 84 86 2 -- 7.5 CPM per sportsclubstats.com and lottery weighting - last updated 4/10 in AM Only 2 NHL games on the slate today, 1 involving the Sabres, both with CHL implications. Sabres travel to BJ country; a regulation loss locks up the CHL title, anything else and the Desert Dogs would have life remaining on Saturday. Sabres are guaranteed 1st through 81 games, but being 1st through 82 is what guarantees 1/2 of McEichel. The other NHL game has the just NHL clinched Garth's Goobers (they TRIED to drop back into the lottery) at the Pigeons. The Pigeons could lock up an NHL playoff spot (rendering their game vs Buffalo being just for seeding) by dropping 2 tonight. Not sure which would be better for the Sabres if they need to pick up 2 tomorrow night; Pigeons being in the NHL playoffs could have them loose while playing for seeding or it could have them completely non-focused; Pigeons needing to drop points to get in could have them playing with playoff intensity or breaking sticks from gripping them so tightly. Easy answer to all of this is to have the BJ's hold to recent form and get blanked tonight; would result in a very smelly trip back from C-Bus for the champion Sabres.

I believe that they said last night that the Pens only need one point. If Boston wins their last game in regulation/OT and the Pens pick up one point, then they will be tied in points and ROW, meaning that head-to-head is the tiebreaker. Haven't looked that up for them, but if what I heard is correct, then it must be the Pens'. Edit: just looked it up on the Penguins' schedule and Boston has that tiebreaker. Whoever said one point on the Canucks feed last night was mistaken. Two it is. Edited April 10, 2015 by carpandean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But either way, Pigeons MIGHT need to drop at least a point vs Sabres which could help Sabres pick up the point or 2 they should in that one. [Edit: On GR this morning they said there's a situation where Pitts needs to drop 2 points; 1 won't necessarily get it done.] Edited April 10, 2015 by Taro T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Dryden Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Well with weighted odds, Sports Club Stats has the Sabres chance for last down to 90%. Unweighted, 83%. CBJ are 3.5-1 favorites tonight, so if you bet $100 on Buffalo you win $350. Tonight needs to be the night, or it is going to get very hairy.

carpandean Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) Here's as much "fun" as I can imagine: the Sabres fall behind tonight, but come back late to tie the game and force OT. They, then, quickly lose in OT win in a SO, pulling within one point of even with Arizona. Pittsburgh wins tonight, comes in halfheartedly tomorrow and loses badly to the Sabres. Anaheim plays just hard enough to push it to OT and the game ends up going to a SO. The first two shooters on both sides miss. So, around 1am Sunday morning, half of Buffalo and the surrounding regions and fans across the country are still awake. And then .... Oops, did that wrong. Fixed.
