Cornerville Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Another good thing for the Sabres: Avoiding Ottawa in the 1st round, so hopefully the Sens stay 5th and the Sabres can get that 2 seed..that would be nice against the Pens or Devils in the 2nd round to have home ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what that makes you guys 1-11 against us now in the past 2 years... Sabres had an off night... shift happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricojes Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Problem: their "off nights" always come when they're least welcome. yeah, but it shouldn't hurt to much, so an off night now isn't too bad. They need 4 points in their last 5 games to clinch (assuming Ottawa runs the table). If they can't do that, they shouldn't be in the playoffs...

shrader Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Problem: their "off nights" always come when they're least welcome. They're playing for next to nothing at this point. They'll win the division easily. The only question is the 2 or the 3 seed. Ok, there's a home ice in the 2nd round issue there, but in the big picture, it really isn't that big of a deal.

BB27 Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 I don't want anything to do with Ottawa in the first round, they can't beat them. Agreed. I don't want to play Ottawa at all. I hope they lose before we have to face them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I don't want anything to do with Ottawa in the first round, they can't beat them. The only possible way Buffalo can face Ottawa in the 1st round is if Buffalo is the 3 seed and Ottawa is the 6. In order for that to happen, one of Philly, Boston, or Montreal would have to win out their 5 remaining games and Ottawa would have to lose all 4 of their remaining games in regulation. That doesn't even include the possibility of Buffalo finishing 2nd. In other words, it's not happening. edit: I take that back. It is also possible for Buffalo-Ottawa to face each other in the 2-7 matchup, but that would involve Ottawa losing out AND two of that Philly/Boston/Montreal logjam winning out their last 5 games. I have no idea if this is actually possible or not because I'm too lazy to look up whether or not these teams face each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the Sabres take the division, it's either going to be Pittsburgh or NJ versus Ottawa in the first round. It would be great if it were Pittsburgh, that would be an awesome first round matchup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebug Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 So what that makes you guys 1-11 against us now in the past 2 years... Sabres had an off night... shift happens. 7 Leaf rookies in the line-up. This is just the start of the Leafs future dominance over the Sabres. The Leafs have sucked for a long time, but the future looks bright. That game was like the Bills beating the Pats* (for leaf fans) at the end of the season when it doesn't matter of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how accurate that is, but if it is, I'm sure that will make you happy too. Personally, I'm at a point where I could care less about any potential 2nd round opponent. I have no idea what to expect from this team in the 1st round. So many different things can happen in that round that completely change any future opponent and the chances against them.
