Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 From the article I posted earlier: We're not cheering against the players; were cheering for the betterment of the franchise. Or We're cheering for the logo on the front and not the name on the back... :worthy: Then Im pushing for Murray to just fire Nolan now and take over as HC. Plenty of GMs have done it before. If the HC isnt on the same page as the rest of the organization, then get him out of there. And I like Nolan, but this tank is more important than any of our current players/coaches. been saying this all along Major League meets Greek tragedy. Scorned players band together and start winning games to spite management only to finish 3 places removed from dead last, cementing a miserable season and a mediocre draft pick which ensures another miserable season. Can't do another season of tank, if they can't get the "players" then they need to bring in the best FAs this offseason
Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 This will sound pervy...but i get that motivation! As long as they share on instagram when complete...maybe takes some of the sting out of 29th she aint that hot You know, Schopp sometimes has some interesting ideas...I heard him a few weeks ago talking about "how do you avoid the tank phenomenon"? He brought up the idea of simply rewarding teams in the draft, based on what percentage of their points (in hockey) or wins they got, after they were eliminated from contention. I realize that could be complicated, and you would have to draw the line on what the cut-off point is for elimination...but an interesting idea. so reach for 9th?
QCity Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 What happened to the countdown thread? It's still there. Friday and Saturday are two pivotal days for the future of this organization.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 It's still there. Friday and Saturday are two pivotal days for the future of this organization. it must be really pushed back. We just need to lose the rest of our games, hope that happens
May Day 10 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Well they still have a win in their back pocket. So 1-4-0 or 0-3-2 still get it done regardless.
YoloinOhio Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I'm pretty sure they won't beat the CBJ next week. They are playing really well and Goalie Bob is back. Won't make playoffs but much better talent out on ice than Sabres so let's hope.
QCity Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Here's the WGR clip from earlier today talking about the draft.
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Conspiracy time. We're gonna come in 29th place to make it look real because the league already promised us the pick we want.
May Day 10 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Im still pretty-very optimistic. The 2 wins came against awful teams. One just got back West from a tough trip East, and the other was gassed playing back to back nights. I dont think they beat Chicago, dont think they can beat the Isles tomorrow on back to back on the road vs a rested and much better team. In this case, if Arizona picks up a point, or even a win against a somewhat shake Sharks team (Sabres beat them twice), we are on the green, a few feet from the hole. If everything goes perfect, it can be clinched by Sunday
YoloinOhio Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I have a feeling the Sabres will get Eichel. I have no reasoning to back this up. Just a gut feeling.
ricojes Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Conspiracy time. We're gonna come in 29th place to make it look real because the league already promised us the pick we want. If the NHL just released the 4 digit draft combinations associated with each team and broadcast the drawing live, there would be no issues. Instead the 4 digit numbers are a mystery for some reason, so yes, this could easily be fixed... Edited April 3, 2015 by ricojes
ALF Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 If the Sabres don't finish last I would be very angry with the players and fire Nolan . They could finish last, lose the lottery but get Eichel would be fine. Finish 29 and could end up with 3rd pick , not good.

ALF Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Welcome to the party. You been in Siberia or something? This past winter it felt like Siberia here Just worried how the players celebrated after recent wins . They could finish 29 to stick it to Buffalo Edited April 3, 2015 by ALF
zevo Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 The amount of attention in this thread has increased exponentially....cuz we are down to the 1 yardline in the super bowl with seconds remaining..the best back in the league plays for us and we have a couple opportunities to punch it in.....just dont throw the !@#$in ball!
DrDawkinstein Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I have a feeling the Sabres will get Eichel. I have no reasoning to back this up. Just a gut feeling. Agreed. Always second-best/second tier. Ugh. The amount of attention in this thread has increased exponentially....cuz we are down to the 1 yardline in the super bowl with seconds remaining..the best back in the league plays for us and we have a couple opportunities to punch it in.....just dont throw the !@#$in ball! Or DO throw the ball so we can lose and clinch last place!
zevo Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Agreed. Always second-best/second tier. Ugh. Or DO throw the ball so we can lose and clinch last place! haha...yes...i guess that is another way of lookin at it
