There's viewing the realistic outcomes and then there's the oh no the sky is falling after any marginal negative outcome toward the tank. Needs to be some sort of balance.

Agreed. I'm cautiously optimistic and hopeful but I'm not without some stress over the unexpected happening...
You don't need to be worried to care about McEichel.
I care. I've gone through this **** season I want McEichel as much as the next guy. But to suggest that my confidence in the team finishes last is me not caring about McEichel is straight up stupid.

God if this goes til Saturday I'll be a nervous wreck.
1-0-1 in our last two could blow this whole thing. That's not impossible for even a terrible team.
Can't believe, as bad as the team has been, it has to come down to two games.
Really didn't expect for a team to clinch the presidents trophy before we'd clinched last place.

Sorry, I jinxed you guys. But you have to admit, these have been the most exciting tanking days in recent history. Good luck and God speed.

I don't know why anyone's still paying attention to those percentages. Just lose once in regulation. It's that simple.

Sounds like the coyotes played them a lot closer then I thought. And now with Vancouver having clinched, I'm a little bit more optimistic about Thursday

Then you can be nervous. And I, and others like me, won't be. But part of the reason this thread has become so nauseating over the last few weeks is that the Chicken Littles shout down anyone who isn't freaking out like them.

I think the fact that this has come down to the last couple days of the season, where a couple stray bounces could change the result, has proved the "Chicken Littles" to be completely right and justified in their concern.
Whereas the confident crowd was proclaiming back in the fall that this was one of the worst teams of all time, cited Corsi and Fenwick, and confidently asserted that all the wins in November wouldn't matter and that the Sabres would be in last place by a huge margin by the end of the season. I think they have clearly been proven wrong.
Sounds like the Blue Jackets are playing McElhinney in one of their back-to-back games this weekend, though it isn't official which one. On the one hand, they could play him against us and save Bobs for the game against the Isles which may or may not be--but probably won't be--to determine whether the Isles make the playoffs. Or they could play Bobs against us on their Fan Appreciation Night.
I think we'll see Bobs in their home finale, and they'll save McElhinney for what will likely be a glorified exhibition game on Saturday night.
Also, it sounds like if the Pens have clinched that we're getting Greiss.

I said we'd finish double-digits behind Edmonton when we were 10 pts up on them. And I'm pretty close to being correct. Isn't being right on the Internet fun?
The Chicken Littles also said on about four different occasions that the Coyotes wouldn't win another game or earn another point. They have been proven wrong. Again and again.
Our odds are over 90%. We're playing a road game against a team that is 9-0-1 in their last 10. I'm perfectly justified in my confidence, and I won't let woe-is-me, this-is-Buffalo gloom and doom convince me otherwise.
At the end of the day, we'll finish 30th. Which is what I, and many others have said, for the last five months while people around us were losing their minds. I said let's count them up after 82 as person after person said we were better than Edmonton, Carolina, Arizona, etc.
And I'll be right. Meanwhile, you and others like you have said for weeks that we'll finish 29th. You will be proven wrong. Again.

I'm not worried about clinching 30th at all... just like I wasn't worried when the President's Trophy Team of '06-'07 marched into the ECFs against the inferior Ottawa Senators
