stevestojan Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Nail biter for sure. We still have a mountain to climb but at 2:55 when the caps scored our season was all but over. Nice late rally by the TBL.
Ramius Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Nothing we can do but win tonight. Take it 1 game at a time. Step 1 is tying washington in the standings with a win tonight.
BuffOrange Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I take it from the rampant pessimism I've heard that Washington has the tiebreaker?
KD in CA Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I take it from the rampant pessimism I've heard that Washington has the tiebreaker? Yep.
dib Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I'm renaming the Bills and Sabres seasons. I'm calling them Teasons, because they tease us with success and then kick us in the face.

eball Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) Golf Laffs Golf! Sabres need a smackdown tonight; no 3rd period drama. That will set up a monster Thursday night (WAS-FLA and BUF-PHI). Edited April 3, 2012 by eball
Dante Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I take it from the rampant pessimism I've heard that Washington has the tiebreaker? I really don't believe in tie breakers. I think over the course of a 82 game season, the value of a point is the same no matter how acquired. How can you eliminate a team just by using a stat? They should play a one game playoff like baseball does.

DC Tom Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 So much for that.....3-2 Leafs at the start of the 3d. You're an idiot. Thankfully.
KD in CA Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Wow!! That tying goal was crazy. Foligno is the man. Game on Caps! You're an idiot. Thankfully. How's that --- the post I responded to requested no 3d period drama! Edited April 4, 2012 by KD in CT
bbb Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 So, Florida got a point tonight and are four in front - if we win two and they lose two, we should have the tiebreaker over them via regulations wins, right?
BuffOrange Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 So, Florida got a point tonight and are four in front - if we win two and they lose two, we should have the tiebreaker over them via regulations wins, right? That's how I heard it on WGR. You still want them to beat the Caps though (and they have something to play for now).
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Ideally we probably want Florida to beat Washington and the sabres to win out. That would get us in. However if Florida does not get another point and we win out that would get us in too
bbb Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Thanks. Just let's not have a friggin three point game between those two teams. They have to fix the point system. It seems to me that the Sabres are playing two teams who will be in playoff prep mode, and I would think will sit some players. I would think the Flyers wouldn't even mind losing, and hope the Devils catch them, so they don't have to play Pittsburgh in the first round.

Other good news is Vancouver won last night so they are now tied with the Rangers for the Presidents Cup. Let's hope the Rangers have something to play for on Saturday vs. the Caps.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 2 games remaining for both teams, with relatively equitable competition, and the Sabres just need 1 more point than the Caps. Being in last place after game 48, you can't really ask for a better shot at the postseason than that.
