Taro T Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 After the Arizona game today, the magic #'s (in points, and reflecting tiebreakers) are: Buffalo: 10 Arizona: 19 Edmonton: 24 Toronto: 27 Toronto could be eliminated tonight. In order for the tiebreaker to flip to Arizona, the Sabres would have to at least win 6 (of 8 remaining) games (including the game against Arizona) prior to a shootout while the Coyotes don't win any prior to OT but still winning 3 games. To flip the tiebreaker with the Oilers would require the Sabres winning at least 6 prior to OT with the Oilers winning 1 in a SO and losing a shootout. There aren't enough games left for TO to get the tiebreaker. So, long story short, the tiebreakers AREN'T flipping. There are currently 30 points available between Buffalo / Edmonton and Buffalo / Toronto. There are currently only 28 points available between Buffalo / Arizona. 1 H-t-H between Buffalo and Arizona and Buffalo and Toronto. No other H-t-H's between the 4 teams.

Taro T Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) After all games played today, the magic #'s (in points, and reflecting tiebreakers) are: Buffalo: 8 Arizona: 19 Edmonton: 24 Toronto: ELIMINATED Toronto was eliminated tonight. In order for the tiebreaker to flip to Arizona, the Sabres would have to win at least 6 (of 7 remaining) games (including the game against Arizona) prior to a shootout while the Coyotes don't win any prior to SO but still win 3 games. To flip the tiebreaker with the Oilers would require the Sabres winning at least 6 prior to OT with the Oilers winning 1 in a SO and losing a shootout. So, long story short, the tiebreakers AREN'T flipping. There are currently 28 points available between Buffalo / Edmonton. There are currently only 26 points available between Buffalo / Arizona. 1 H-t-H between Buffalo and Arizona on Monday night. If the Sabres lose in regulation, then they can go 4-2 in their remaining 6 and still lock up 30th. No other H-t-H's between the 3 teams.

Taro T Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 After all games played through March, the magic #'s (in points, and reflecting tiebreakers) are: Buffalo: 8 Arizona: 15 Edmonton: 22 In order for the tiebreaker to flip to Arizona, the Sabres would have to win at least 5 (of 6 remaining) games prior to a shootout while the Coyotes don't win any prior to SO but still win 3 games. To flip the tiebreaker with the Oilers would require the Sabres winning all 6 prior to OT with the Oilers winning 1 in a SO and losing a shootout. So, long story short, the tiebreakers AREN'T flipping. There are currently 24 points available between Buffalo / Edmonton. There are currently only 22 points available between Buffalo / Arizona. No more H-t-H's between the 3 teams. Sabres need 3 points to break their way to eliminate Edmonton so they could go 4-1-1 and still clinch 29th regardless of what Edmonton does. Sabres control their own destiny for 30th and maintain that by going no better than 2-4-0. Tomorrow night's game is most likely a W, so in their last 5 the Sabres need to go 1-4-0 or worse. (Any points picked up by Arizona adds equally to the points the Sabres can pick up, obviously.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
