Drunkard Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Deserving is game-by-game. They deserved to get crushed by Calgary based on how they played. But if the Sabres come out and play like they have against Boston, then they'll deserve to win. Let's win this game! If we finish last, that's fine, but the draft order percentages and the picking for each of the top three picks... finishing last isn't nearly so important as it was for McJesus/Eichel. Let's win, let the ping-pong balls fall where they might, and take our guaranteed top 6 pick and move on. Let's win and have some fun. The GDTs are more jovial when we win. If we win enough, we won't be guaranteed a top 6 pick. Vancouver is only up 6 points on us and they've been worse than we've been over the last 10 games.

Sabel79 Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Yup, it took until March 8th but I am fully on board with losing out..... Never again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustache of God Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 I'd like to add that I am so disappointed with this team/franchise where I've reached the point of embracing a tank for the 2nd time in 4 years. Middle fingers everywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 The tank killed this team and the fan base. We still have fans openly hoping for loses. Which I don't really have a problem with, but it shows how the tank and the results have really destroyed us as fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthEbriate Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 If we win enough, we won't be guaranteed a top 6 pick. Vancouver is only up 6 points on us and they've been worse than we've been over the last 10 games. Sure... but there are only 15 games left. A bad team gaining 6 points on another bad team over that span isn't a given. Loser points keep everyone in their place (unless there's a massive streak (5+ wins/losses in a row). I'd like to add that I am so disappointed with this team/franchise where I've reached the point of embracing a tank for the 2nd time in 4 years. Middle fingers everywhere!

This team needs to be trying to win every night. The tank was the lowest point for me, so I'm stunned that some people are just now reaching peak apathy.

The tank was the lowest point for me, so I'm stunned that some people are just now reaching peak apathy. At the time the tank was the lowest point for me. Apparently when you hit rock bottom you max out your credit card on a jack-hammer and then max out your other card on extension cords so you can keep drilling deeper and deeper. I can't see this team winning more than 5 games in the remaining 15 and I'm hoping they sweep Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 I don't hope for losses. They will come or not regardless of my desires. That said, whether we're good or bad, or Ottawa is good or bad, these are usually close, hard fought games, so I'm looking forward to this.

The tank was the lowest point for me, so I'm stunned that some people are just now reaching peak apathy. how many forwards playing tonight will be on the roster next season? Winning tonight has very very little with how this team plays next October. However, if the 12% increase of drafting in the top 3 and the 100% guarantee of drafting in the top 4 could have significant impact on next season.

DarthEbriate Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Just tinkered on Tankathon... maybe ran it 6 or 8 times. Never my mind on where I was, hmm, what I was doing, hm! I'm here to tell you, McDavid could really use a quality defenceman. The Oilers and Dahlin happened a few times. The Sabres rolled in the top 3 only twice. So... yeah... I'm still all for enjoying watching games and hoping that we win. We'll win some games, lose others. Other bad teams will win, too. We'll still get a good player, just maybe not Dahlin. Let's win anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 I enjoyed the Leafs game way more than the Flames game. No question what I am hoping for tonight. Oh, and the Sens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader1969 Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Gorges and Faulk back in to the line-up tonight. Subtle tank move? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Screw the Sens but am ambivalent about a win/loss... not apathetic. Gorges and Faulk back in to the line-up tonight. Subtle tank move?Nothing subtle about Gorges.. hes crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallawaySabres Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 When we play garbage teams like our own, I really, really hope for a loss. When we play the elite teams, I hope for wins if Buffalo plays well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tondas Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 I don't hope for losses. They will come or not regardless of my desires. That said, whether we're good or bad, or Ottawa is good or bad, these are usually close, hard fought games, so I'm looking forward to this. Both of those thoughts are something I can lean into.
