ChevyVanMiller 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: Last night was tough. Also, Yotes play Blackhawks tough, but lost 2-1. Edm and Ari still look much better than Buf. Keep the faith, we'll get some separation soon.

Keep the faith, we'll get some separation soon. Edmonton is mounting a late charge at this thing, having lost 6 in a row. It's amazing how these teams seem to rotate losing streaks. I'd say our turn is next, but we're already in a streak of our own.
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Apparently, there's a little known rule, that if you make it to OT, pull your goalie and lose, you don't get the one point. Why haven't we been utilizing this?

ricojes Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 That rule has been in place for quite some time. Murray would use it in a second, Nolan, not so much....

No way some punk-ass do good coach messes this up for him. I'm honestly convinced that he'd fire Nolan mid game if it came down to it.
shrader Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 That rule has been in place for quite some time. Murray would use it in a second, Nolan, not so much.... The league would come down hard on a team if they actually did something like that. It's too blatant to let go.

Right, it's only an option when playing for a playoff spot or a better seed. As much as everyone knows the Sabres are tanking, they still would not want to make it that obvious.

Keep the faith, we'll get some separation soon. Not sure if ARI played the Hawks tight, though. When I checked in on it in the 2nd, it was still 1-1, but the shots on goal were 30something to 9. They ended up being 44-18. At least it looks like Smith is really playing good goal finally for the Yotes. Hopefully, Darcy doesn't get him pulled!

ChevyVanMiller Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 1point for EDM, now a 4 point spread to last place.
JM57 Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) 2 games in hand scare me. Considering the Sabres next 5 opponents, they shouldn't. Here's what the bottom three are looking at. Arizona has a pretty rough schedule down the stretch. They're the real threat IMO. Especially because that little rat Bettman would love nothing more than a generational player in the desert to try and save that franchise from being a money pit (just announced yesterday the team had lost $16 million this season) BUF: Rangers, Capitals, Bruins, Devils, Predators. EDM: Leafs, Blue Jackets, Flyers, Jets, Avalanche ARZ: Devils, Kings, Avalanche, Penguins, Canucks Edited March 14, 2015 by JM57
bbb Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 I guess the goalie the Rangers are starting only played one other game - vs. us...........He let that goal in 14 seconds in, but then no more after that. I wish the hot backup for Lundquist was playing instead, though.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Man the Sabres are driving me nuts, they are doing ever thing they can to screw this up. We need to call up Grigorinko and anybody else who is playing like crap in Rochester.
