Night Train Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 Upon the start of the season, I belived it would take 1 more season with a 25-30 point increase seemingly too much. To be in the conversation for a possible playoff spot today is amazing. The 8 game losing streak was sobering and may be what costs them down the stretch but they're far ahead of my expectations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohninMinn. Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 This is a young highly skilled team that will continue to gel during the 82 game preseason. I think they will surprise the experts and get passed the first round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when he says we need 41 points in our next 35 games for an even chance, that doesn't seem too daunting at all. We've played 2 points behind that pace over our past 35 and well above it for our past 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted January 28, 2023 Report Share Posted January 28, 2023 Since Nov. 21 (the end of the 8-game losing streak), the Sabres are 19/8/3. That is behind only Boston, Carolina, Toronto and (barely) Tampa. That’s 30 games - not a small sample size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, we're already ahead of the Caps by points percentage. The Caps are chasin' us. But yes, it would be pretty slick to get into the All Star Break with a spot in the playoffs in both points in the standings (officially) and by points percentage.

But will ignore that one until we're told the season is done & there are teams tied in the standings that don't have the same # of points. And like you said, that 1st tie breaker supplanted points as being the statistic used to rank teams in '20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted January 28, 2023 Report Share Posted January 28, 2023 Honestly, I can’t see us staying in the race much longer. I’m sorry. It seems inevitable- we’ll soon be so solidly in a playoff spot that using the term “race” would feel wildly misplaced. 7 hours ago, LGR4GM said: I'm shocked to learn that the Lamoriello way of old and slow shutdown isn't working, shocked.

Time will tell if Lou is old news and the Sabres are avant garde. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
