An Unlikely Path

[Chainshot]

Can they call up Savoie?

Not without a lot of other injuries to get an emergency recall, no. Rosen's been a bit better than Kulich but not to the point that it looks like he's an easy recall either. Of any of the Amerk forwards who are producing - and there are not many - Murray is one and honestly Neuchev is the other (and he's not ready either). Not a lot of help there to be honest.

Real slog fest for the WC this year. If we had even a PP that was running 15th-20th in the league I think we'd be comfortably in there. Definitely would've tipped the scales on a few games or at least gotten us an OT point

Penguins are going to have a rough time down the stretch. Dubas will have his hands full this off-season with no easy answers. They'll be lucky to win 5 of their last 19.

If Moose Jaw gets eliminated, Savoie becomes available for either Buffalo or Rochester. His speed will fit in nicely on the 3rd line if the Sabres are going keep the pedal to the metal.

 

[dortt]

not with our backup goalie who is worse than an empty net

Had he just gone .500, we'd be 6 points closer with a real shot

Instead, we are where we are. An indictment on the front office for not giving us the players to allow us a proper playoff push.

1.6% is far too generous based upon our roster

 

[Weltschmerz]

They will miss by one point.

Kidding they play a lot of those other teams in the race, detroit 3 times so they could make it a bit exiting.

They also play the Caps and Devils twice each.

They're 2nd in their conference (comfortably) and it would surprise me if they don't go at least two rounds if not more this spring. I wouldn't plan on him being available for anyone unless Rochester has an unexpected lift to go more than a round.

 

[Gabrielor]

I only see picking 8th overall.

That said, I'm finally back and interested in watching games again, so that's something.

Jersey always kicks our ass

As my kid says... they are sus.

Let’s talk after the next 3 games
Sabres win all three. Maybe
Detroit Isles Detroit

Get. In.

 

[TageGod]

I'm excited for your excitement that you can find a silver lining with the current team. However they couldn't sell me even if they went on a 13 game win streak.

95 puts them in the playoffs this year most likely.

My unscientific model says they have a slim chance with 87 points.

91 points will clinch on Apr 11 with a win against the Caps.

 

[Old Navy Goat]

I think we can all agree that they really shouldn't make the playoffs. Just think about how boring the boards would be without the constant whinging about KA, cheap ass meddling Pegula, and Granato aka the worst coach in history

f*** science, I like your model.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Win these next two and enjoy the ride the rest of the season. God knows we could use the excitement after the boredom this season has been.

 

[joshjull]

It would great if they can play like this next season when they have pressure on them. Its very frustrating to watch them take off when the heat is removed.

 

[Matt Ress]

Not that crazy to sprinkle in a game like last night's but the rarity is stretching the effort out over a week or two

Crazy year, was trending towards a maybe at 96.

STL was one of the worst teams in hockey before their 2nd half surge and then won the cup.

FLA was mediocre before going on a heater to claim the 8 spot and then lost in the finals last season.

Crazy year, was trending towards a maybe at 96.

The top five teams are solid and the teams in the hunt all have had issues.
