Official tank thread and tanking GDT #12 (Sabres @ Stars)

[threeVo]

Ill be 30 in 5 months and I can honestly say there have been few more important games than this last stretch for me in my lifetime.

Game 6 of 99 SCF
Game 7 in CAR ECF

Both of these games vs ARI are up there

 

[Dahlin 2 Eichel]

As as aside:

When the HOLY ****ING HELL is our puck luck going to stop?!?!?!?!?!?!?

How many good bounce goals have we scored since the break? How many good, clean, goals have we scored?????

Our luck HAS to stop soon, right?

We might have to sacrifice a Arizona fan

 

[joshjull]

For all the *****ing about all our points lately, we're now 1-7-2 in March/since the trade deadline.

Honestly, if we could've been told on March 1 that we could go 1-7-2 through the first 10 games in March, would ANYONE have not taken that?

Things on our end are pretty much going to plan. It's the Yotes and their epic descent that's making things very nervous.

We've pretty well matched them point for point. It really is something else.

Yup. Which is why if they manage to out-tank us i can't even be mad at Murray for not tanking hard enough. It's just like getting beat by a better team. No choice but to acknowledge your inferiority

ARIZONA 1-8-1 in last 10

BUFFALO 1-7-2 in last 10

I think based on our remaining schedule we will pick up 8 points in our remaining 9 games. So Arizona would need to get 2 against us and find 3 more somewhere.

 

[Myllz]

I think the most amusing thing is that the games we've seen the past few weeks are the same games most people were describing they wanted to see before the season started. Hard working games where we keep things close and look halfway decent but just lose out to inferior talent. Now that we're getting that people are losing their minds.

 

[Eichel 9]

We can score, they can't. I am nervous.

 

[OhreallyOrielly]

Thursday game is like a playoff game in Reverse. Instead of a sea of white, we should do a sea of black.


Or Green like a tank, or Camo.

 

[26CornerBlitz]

Agree?

 

[26CornerBlitz]

Pretty SpecTANKular numbers.

 

[threeVo]

Ill never agree with a word he says, so No

 

[Eichel 9]

Agree?

Not at all..the game on the 30th will decide things potentially, but I will still be nervous even if Arizona wins on Thursday. The only team they have a real chance of maybe beating left on the schedule (aside from us) is San Jose. I believe we play the Leafs, Carolina, and Columbus still - all 3 very winnable games.

 

[OhreallyOrielly]

Agree?

I think it'd be close but he's probably right. We could gain 5 points , 2 to them, 2 to Toronto an 1 anywhere else. Plus anything they pick up gives us more cushion. I'd still rather lose them both.

 

[SabreOil]

Agree?

No our schedule is way easier and this team has learned to keep games close against ANY opponent. If they win BOTH games in regulation then probably yes.

 

[DazedandConfused]

They beat us in regulation once and it's 90% in the bag boys.

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

Thank you LINDY. Tonight was the best thing you have ever done for the franchise. Was sick to my stomach when it was 3-2 and stopped checking the score. Just checked it two minutes ago and seeing 4-3 Dallas in regulation has me smiling ear to ear. 9 more to go. Please just lose out and all in regulation please.

 

[Husko]

Agree?

I am getting so so so ****ing sick of this attitude. IT'S JUST ONE GAME.

At this point I'm almost hoping for a loss Thursday followed by a win against Colorado just to show this crowd how this one game isn't everything.

 

[1972]

Make it happen Tim!!!!

1) This board would have a melt-down. Multiple meltdowns.

2) I don't think we get that many

3) I really hope we don't get that many

3) I really hope we don't get that many

I think that's worst case scenario, win against Toronto, Arizona x2, and CBJ or Pitt

 

[SabresFanNorthPortFL]

Like I said in another thread, fire Nolan Thursday morning.

Make the entire team go "wtf"

Just throw in the towel, no game plans, play Hackett, etc.

Fire him Thursday morning, like he's going o be the coach come next September

 

[TehDoak]

We split with Arizona, they find 3 points in 7 games.

Not really asking the moon

 

[sjci]

Don't agree with the Coyotes win Thursday clinches it. There would still be 4 very winnable games (@ARZ, vs TOR, vs CAR, @CBJ), so that 5 point cushion goes down to 1. And you can almost count on the Sabres taking a game or two they shouldn't to OT/SO. So it wouldn't make it over, but it'd go a long way to helping us in case we have another mess up (ie WASH, Boston)

 

[sjci]

Or if Arizona could actually just start winning other games, or at least getting some points, that'd make things a lot easier around here. Most of the freakout is due to the factor we all see Buffalo probably getting a few more points, regardless of the Coyotes game. But, it's tough to see Arizona getting any points the rest of the season
