Pick one. It’s not tonight

Where the hell is that graph of the historical win percentage of the Sabres when I need it?

If I look at this question and then I frame it around the following "The Sabres are currently extending the NHL record for seasons without making the playoffs." I come to the conclusion that each day they lose a game they set the NEW lowest point in Sabres history.  Even if they win a few, until it puts them into a playoff position, they are still "out of they playoffs".

Every loss lowers their chances of making the playoffs this season and each season they don't make it furthers the record of futility. No other NHL team, let alone Sabres team, has ever been this pitiful over this stretch of time.

So yes, a loss tonight marks the lowest point in Sabres history, even if it is only marginally lower than where they were at after the last loss.

We had a nice thread about it. You not only closed it, you deleted it.

This seems logical.

This feels like a pivotal game on the roady, a turning point for the season... or perhaps the franchise as a whole.

Maybe they finally pull it together? UPL shines and with growing confidence they string together some wins, vaulting themselves into playoff contention by the turn of the new year.

I feel we say this above every game. And it won’t be the last time either.

At least the season lasted through November, so that is a step forward. Only 4 and a half months of meaningless hockey left. Hopefully next year they can make it to January. Only 2 points from being dead last in the entire NHL 😵‍💫

A loss tonight could help turn this season around if it finally makes Pegula clear out the front office.

Barring a 20-game losing streak (which won't happen, they're talented enough to win 1 game per week), the earliest that Pegula would take any action in the front office is at the Olympic Break. But even then, what would the change be? Jarmo to GM? Then he has to get Pegula's approval to trade the equivalent of Joker for a 4th? Could Jarmo hire DeBoer and a completely new coaching staff while the current guys were still under term? Unlikely to be approved.

The front office won't change until the summer. And then, assuming Emperor Sheevyn is still involved, it's a "no-stones-unturned" coaching search that selects... Appert.

Well they suck, but they are a defensive team so they might give them problems just like Philly did. One would think Sabres would be motivated after the other Calgary loss and bring their best but who knows. Greenway hat trick maybe 🙂
