QCity Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Last Updated Fri 4/10 9:26 PM THE TANK IS COMPLETE! THE LOTTERY IS APRIL 18th Sabres Magic Number (Losses): 0 Chance to finish last (Sports Club Stats): 100% Current Standings (Pts) Buffalo: 54 Arizona: 56 Games Remaining Buffalo: (1) vs. Pittsburgh Arizona: (1) vs. Anaheim Tiebreaker Procedure Arizona is guaranteed the tiebreaker (i.e. if BUF and ARI are tied, BUF finishes in last place) Edited April 11, 2015 by QCity
eball Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Stated another way, the magic number in "points the Sabres don't earn" is 16.
plenzmd1 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I would rather we keep this in the McDavid thread if possible. On the morning show yesterday, Jeremy had this stat Arizona is 1-17-1 in last 19 games. Over an 82 game season that is 4-74-4 for a toal of 12 points. Worst team ever, expansion Caps, won 8 games ... Twice as bad as the worst team in history.....wow.

This thread has merit as a quick reference to easily find the current "state of the tank" over these last 2 weeks. Edited March 25, 2015 by QCity
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) thanks for reminding me that I'll be hearing the Capitals Magic Number daily until the season ends!!! Edited March 24, 2015 by BillsFan-4-Ever
CowgirlsFan Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Glad my Stars helped the cause last night. 0 points .

ExiledInIllinois Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I am just wondering how those AZ games will look! LMAO. Will the puck just sit there @ Center Ice! "You touch it!" "No, you touch it!" Ha!
Taro T Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Stated another way, the magic number in "points the Sabres don't earn" is 16. Actually, since there is no realistic way for the Sabres to tie for last AND lose the tiebreaker (behind Edmonton by 3 in ROW & behind Arizona by 4 in ROW) Sabres M# is 15.
QCity Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Watching Arizona hold on at the end of regulation was the most intense 5 minutes of hockey I have watched all season. I jumped up when they scored the winner in OT. What a crazy season. That Arizona win reduces the Sabres Magic Number to 7 losses to guarantee last place!! Edit: BTW we all need to thank Jimmy Howard for that atrocious performance in net. Edited March 25, 2015 by QCity
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 The nice thing is, you don't even have to root against the other team not getting a point against AZ or EDM. They can be all "three point games." As long as those two teams get into OT/SO... I am happy! Glad the 'Yotes picked up the 2pts though!!!
zevo Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Cmon! This should be in the McDavid thread! Lots of comradery in that thread....a year full of pain and suffering....we are so close
QCity Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 Cmon! This should be in the McDavid thread! Lots of comradery in that thread....a year full of pain and suffering....we are so close Yeah, I agree, keep the discussion there. I just wanted people to have a quick way to know the status of the tank without sifting through all the pages in that thread. One click, 1st post -- and you immediately know all the tank details. BTW tonight's Arizona win caused Sports Club Stats to raise our chances of finishing last to 87% (it was 79% previously).
QCity Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 According to Sports Club Stats, tonight's EDM win increased our chances 1% up to 88%.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Last Updated Wed 3/26 11:58 PM Sabres Magic Number (Losses): 7 (i.e. 7 losses in regulation guarantees the Sabres McEichel) Chance to finish last (Sports Club Stats): 88% Current Standings (Pts) Buffalo: 47 Arizona: 52 Games Remaining Buffalo: (9) vs. Arizona @ Colorado @ Arizona vs. Toronto vs. Chicago @ N.Y. Islanders vs. Carolina @ Columbus vs. Pittsbrugh Arizona: (8) @ Buffalo @ Pittsburgh vs. Buffalo @ San Jose vs. San Jose @ Calgary @ Vancouver vs. Anaheim Tiebreaker Procedure (Arizona owns the seeding tiebreaker handily - Sabres own the "tank" tiebreaker) if we lose both to AZ we got in the bag. Where is Edmonton in this?
QCity Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 Where is Edmonton in this? While not mathematically eliminated, their odds of finishing last are so low it's not worth mentioning.
Pete Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Let's go Arizona! It would be nice to hit tank magic number. Then we can go back to rooting for sabres!
BringBackFergy Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Close game. 2-2. I'm waiting for our forwards to start dropping gloves or shooting wristers at the jumbotron.
