March 26: Win vs Ott

[trapezeus]

Root on Winnapeg people.

that will put ottawa truly in a four way race for 7th and 8th. they are playing in win.

plus win is far enough behind with the number of games to go that they almost need to win every game to get to 92 points.

[DrGraves]

Yep exactly. Winnipeg is out of it... hopefully they can help us out with a W over Ottawa.

i want 7th, so we can play Boston in Round 1

Me too, I want a pictorial cartoon about Chara laying in a pile of dinosaur feces looking confused courtesy Bedard.

[Crisis]

Anyone but Pitts in round one

[JD]

I would much rather play the Rangers. Boston will break us into pieces. The Penguins are too deadly.

The Jets loss essentially eliminated them from the playoffs, so the outcome here without 3 points being handed out was not a complete detriment to the Sabres.

Bottom line: The Jets are now a footnote that no longer help or hurt us.

Ott is 2-0 since people started posting non-buf GDTs... and scored 14 goals.... hmmm

of course, the down side is that we now stand almost zero chance of catching Ottawa.

Agreed but we didn't want OT for a 3 point night, that would of been a worse case scenario .

[trapezeus]

Yep. but ott winning was a pretty bad scenario. as spoken in thenumbers crunching thread. we have to win tonight, and if not, we really need an epic collapse by Florida.
