Mango Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 23 hours ago, Two or less said: lol some of you guys really react poorly to losses. They won't be picking top 10, relax. My uncle texts me after every big loss something along the lines of “I can’t believe you think this team is moving in the right direction, could make the playoffs, etc.” My personal favorite is “this team would get destroyed by the 99 team” because the Sabres are likely a Stanley cup favorite with prime Hasek between the pipes playing 60-70 games per year. Similarly to this it drives me nuts. And he has nothing to add to the conversation. I don’t need it to even be positive. But just add something…anything…other than basically “haha, we suck and you’re a loser” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were not as good as Calgary, Toronto and the Lames. If you think they are, thats your opinion, but in real life, they are what i said they are. But like you, it is only my opinion. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refuting Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Huge win Main worry is that even if the Sabres finish strong, they could miss the playoffs because a team ahead of them had more OT losses. That would really stink That is a rule that needs to be changed. I've seen way too many instances where a team with more wins misses the playoff because a team lost more in overtime. Ridiculous Florida, the year they won the division with Campbell, had 37 wins. THIRTY SEVEN. Unacceptable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 Are the Sabres good again ?? Where have all the panicers gone ?? It's a long season. The Sabres will be fine. At this point I don't mind if they don't make the playoff. It would be fantastic if they did. The most important thing that I wanted to see this season was that they come together as a team, grow together and that they entertain the fans. They have accomplished all that, IMO. Sure, there have been ups and downs, but overall this Sabres team is coming together. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyldnwoody44 Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 The end of this season will be more entertaining on SS than on ice I fear. It's fun though! We actually care enough to have mini freak outs and bipolar outcries over this team.. A team that MAY make the playoffs! F it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porous Five Hole Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 Moneypuck projects the Sabres playoff chances are 47% and their points projection is 91. 538 also projects 91 points with a 43% chance of making the playoffs. Something called Power Rankings Guru also predicts 91 points for the Sabres. So is 91 points going to be enough?? If yes, all Buffalo needs to do is finish something like 13-12-1 (or 12-10-3).

These "Panickers" you refer to were in a state of despair after the Toronto game. They wanted to tear the team and organization to shreds and start over. Check-out the posts after that game! After this successful two game Florida trip many of these same Casandras are now in a state of ecstasy extolling the virtue of the team and its staff. It's so silly. There is still a lot of games left where there will be a number of additional successes to enjoy and failures to lament. The pendulum is swinging back and forth at a furious pace. This playoff scenario is going down to the end of the season. You got no choice but to ride the wave and see where it takes you. No one knows for sure what the outcome will be. That's why this season has been so enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why this season has been so enjoyable. And called that in GA's thread about this 4 game stretch being THE defining point of the season. (It is, in that it's the current games to be played, which are always defining in a way; but it isn't because they're still showing us the same things they've shown us all year. And that's tangential to this discussion anyhow.) The bipolarity of this board that we'll experience these last 25 games is going to be worth the price of admission. But the thought that the "panickers" (and really don't like that description of the people hopping off the bandwagon, however briefly) moved to Pittsburgh was the reason for the emoji @doohickie took exception to. They're all still here, and with a loss to Caps, or even worse, the BJ's and they'll all be overly consternated again. And agree wholeheartedly with your final sentiment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
