eball Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Way to go Yotes! Snagged another point; Sabres now "up" 7 but have a game in hand (16 remaining vs. 15). Unfortunately, the Oil are looking pretty bad -- that lead is still just 4 with the same game in hand. Just keep losing, Sabres.
May Day 10 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 The oilers were actually really good last night. Back to backs on the road playing a really good team. They were peppering Jimmy Howard and he had to stand on his head. One power play the oilers had possession in the zone for pretty much the entire 2 minutes with a number of shots. Detroit scored 2 empty netters to make the score look worse.
ChevyVanMiller Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Yotes get another point. Oilers fall apart in third against Detroit. And the beat goes on...

Detroit scored 2 empty netters to make the score look worse. Edmonton dominated the 1st, had a 9-0 SOG advantage to start and ended the period something like 14-6. Detroit picked it up in the 2nd and it looked like Edmonton was toast, but they came back and played a strong third. The Oilers played well and are playing well as of late. They would dominate the Sabres, too bad they are not one of their remaining games...

zevo Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 It could have been worse....I'll say we snuck out with only 1 pt I'm at ease....we are not finishing worse than the 3 spot....if we get pushed to 4.... I'll take Mitch marner and move on....3rd nets us supreme defender Noah hanifin who is graded out the same or better than last years number 1 pick Aaron Ekblad....if that's the case then we can look at moving zadorov to Edmonton in a package for Hall....

Sabres lucky to only get 1 point, Leafs are terrible. After 2 nd period Sabres were actually a +18 Corsi - don't think that's happened all year. But don't lose faith. Sabres still will finish last. Oilers have lots of winnable games upcoming.

Not getting one of the top two forwards will be a complete disaster and there is no sugarcoating it.

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I honestly have this feeling that teams are screwing up against us on purpose.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I honestly have this feeling that teams are screwing up against us on purpose. Conspiracy?
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Conspiracy? Not on behalf of the NHL as a whole. Teams just hate us for losing so obviously.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Do the Sabres play the Oilers anymore this year? Probably not right? I hope the Oilers dont get the 1st overall pick. They have shown that they dont deserve anymore #1 picks CBF

They have shown that they dont deserve anymore #1 picks CBF Nope. We had one epic game against each other about a month ago. First time all year my buddies and I actually got together at a bar for a Sabres game.

They have shown that they dont deserve anymore #1 picks CBF I can't help but think that someone like Colorado somehow wins the lottery, a team that already has their young superstar (even if he's had a rough year).
PaattMaann Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Come on penguins - lose this freaking game tonight! You can do it....you can do it.....
bbb Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Dammit - Oilers come all the way back from 4-0 and then the Pens score two more! :wallbash:
plenzmd1 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 This is worse than chasing the last playoff spot....seems like all 3 teams have played two games in 10 days.
