Tank Thread and Tank GDTs XIV: TANK WARS!! (Buffalo @ Arizona)

[Rhett4]

I still like our chances, a loss to Toronto and things look very good again.

Losing to Toronto would be huge, and it would even up the games left. We would have to go 2.5 or better than Arizona over 5 games.

 

[sjci]

Bottom line:

Sabres go 2-4-0 or worse and we're guaranteed 30th.

They looked awful tonight, but the Coyotes had been playing well and have a home and home with SJ coming up. I'm not going to be shocked if the Yotes take a point or two.


We still control our own fate, so to speak.

It'd help if we didn't have a game in hand right now, and that one of those game wasn't against Toronto. We could be going into this friday with only 2 points separating both teams. **** this man, why couldn't they just lose tonight, and then lose the weekend games. We could've cheered for them the whole last week of the season, but now, I'll be rooting even more for them to blow it

 

[N.Y. Orangeman]

Leafs on a 1 game winning streak.

 

[Bps21*]

That'll be gone when they get whipped by tampa the night before they come here.

 

[sjci]

This would be alot easier if I felt confident the Coyotes could win a game or two before the season ends, problem is, after displays like that and their past 20 games, I don't think the get another win the rest of the season

 

[Rhett4]

I wonder if the people cheering against the Sabres in their own house will question even for a moment the effect it might have had in hindering the process

It certainly seemed to rile them up, and it made Nolan's "us versus them" talk even stronger. The problem is, that shoving it in the fan's faces just makes the franchise worse and the fan reaction worse.

Don't care at all what you wonder

 

[TalkingProuder]

Sabres always have to do things the hard way.

 

[1972]

We played our best, Arizona played there worst and we barely won. Leafs didn't show up last game and still beat us, they can easily beat us on Wednesday.

We have gained exactly zero points on Arizona since the TDL.

But ****, can't they ever make this easy?

 

[Sabre the Win]

We haven't lost to San Jose in something like 17 straight so count a win there. Meaning we must lose to Toronto but I doubt that happens. We can only hope Coyotes can pick up a win somewhere.

 

[Bps21*]

If they had the ability to turn it on this whole time but needed to be motivated by getting cheered for losing...it says nothing good about them.

 

[sjci]

The sad part is Mike Smith had a good game, but the damn Coyotes couldn't score any ****ing goals

 

[enthusiast]

If fans are gonna be petulant about it, they don't really deserve to be pandered to. It's not like you see them out in the media talking ****

Don't care at all what you wonder

Sure you do, or you wouldn't sputter out a reply

We don't play San Jose kid.

We don't play San Jose.

We play a tired toronto team. Then back to back chicago and isles. Then carolina Monday. Mother off for a bit before columbus and a pitt team that probably isn't playing anyone of note.

"Let's shove it in the faces of the fans, and then let's try to get the hell out of Buffalo at the end of this year!"

We still control our own fate, so to speak.

Realistically, we should go 1-2 at best over our next three games. If AZ gets nothing in their two games against SJ, we're up 2 points with each team having three games left.

Problem is AZ has @Calgary, @Vancouver, Anaheim - possible for them to get nothing from those games, unless ANA has nothing to play for.

That Carolina game at home for us could be the next "game of the year". If we win it, we probably get nothing @NYI.

We could be tied and have to lose outright to Pitt in our last game at home.

We don't play San Jose. The Coyotes do. They do well against them too.

 

[1972]

I've said it before, but if we miss on McEichel and start bad next year it is going to be a toxic environment.

 

[ruff22]

I still like our chances, a loss to Toronto and things look very good again.

everyone has penciled in a win against Toronto already, in a perverse way it's almost a nothing to lose game for us. can only be a surprise loss, as odd as that is to say.

 

[5 Minute Major]

It would show what an absolutely pathetic team they are if it takes fan reaction to get them to rally around a cause and give that extra effort.

Not my kind of people... so no I don't.

I can only imagine Nolan's motivational speech and how happy they would be after that one.

You care so little you have to post the last word about how little you care

Aight

I've said it before, but if we miss on McEichel and start bad next year it is going to be a toxic environment.

If we miss on either and start bad next year, it'll be beyond toxic. Booiong every night, I wouldn't be surprised if you started seeing a whole lot worse on a nightly basis. People will stop turning out and that'll leave the arena to the hecklers
