Claude Balls Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 4 of the next 7 Sabres games are against the two worst teams in the league. That's 8 points for the taking. If they could split the other 6 points and grab 3, that would be huge. I don't see it happening, and there is talk that if they don't take advantage of this soft spot that DB is gone. I wonder if they have a replacement coach in mind and would then let Terry finish the season as interim. I am fine with Terry finishing the season behind the bench, but want something new for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two or less Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 4 of the next 7 Sabres games are against the two worst teams in the league. That's 8 points for the taking.

Sabres enter their bye week against the Blues and Hawks, and then teams returning from the bye week are something like 3-9 so far, so that's gonna be tough as well. Not a good schedule for the Sabres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottysabres Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 7 - 0 Buffalo needs to run the table. They must get secondary scoring from lines 3 and 4 as well as the D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 The last one was not very enjoyable. That's why I made sure to set some very minor ground rules. A modicum of decency for this gentlemen's bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonHextallsShoulderPads Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 And a bye week in between those 7 games. I kind of have the same mindset for the Bills. If you're a playoff contender, win the games you're supposed to win. If you can put together 11-14 points, you belong in the conversation. If not, you are what we thought you were. I'm guessing they'll get just enough points to be annoying, around 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Balls Posted February 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) I could see them beating Chicago and St. Louis, and going 1-3 against Colorado and Arizona. Edited February 16, 2017 by Claude Balls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 they need to win 17 games to make playoffs I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattPie Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Love whenever avatar bets are made on here I think I made one at some point, but I don't remember with who or what it was about. I think it'll be determined at the end of this season (one of those "player X will do Y by the end of next season" deals). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAud Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Updated chart after 2-0 win vs. Avalanche to not only compare vs. 2015 & 2016, but also show what current pace point total projects to (~90pts) and "win out". Obviously as the end points of the "win out" line get near the the "96 point pace" line, the faint playoff hopes become even fainter.

I don't like DD and I think this team should be better then where they are right now. But visually, this does show that we've improved from last year and back flirting with the playoffs. Pretty much where many expected us to be. I hate using injuries as an excuse but if Eichel doesn't get hurt maybe we're 4 or 5 points better and really in this thing. With all the ups and downs it's good seeing a long term visual on their progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
