tank fixed

[DetDannyWilliams]

Sabres now 27th place in the league with 28 pts. (33 gp) when last week they were 24th in the league. Phx is right on the Sabres heels with 26 pts (32 gp) and for everyone that thought Car. was tanking it looks like they are starting to win now they now have 22 pts. (31 gp) then there is Edm with 20 pts. (33 gp) as bad as they are they can still climb out of the basement and catch the Sabres.

Sabres play @ Bos tonight, @ Det on Tues, Isles on Sat, @ Ott Mon. and close out 2014 with the TBL on Wed.

Tank on

[JATMtheJATM]

It was nice to see competent hockey for a while though. A sign of things to come.

[Novacane]

They need to go on a 20 game losing streak

[Ginger Vitis]

They are 8 points behind the Oilers in the race for the 30th spot.. I don't see the Sabres catching the Oilers

[SpikedLemonade]

Talking Proud Buffalo!!!!

[SpikedLemonade]

Here is a slogan pride-less can have -- NO HONOUR FOR CONNOR.

[coastal]

Don't look now but St.Louis who was at one point was 1st place in the NHL is now 3 points removed from being in the playoffs.

[JATMtheJATM]

I hate rooting against st Louis. But if it helps.

[DetDannyWilliams]

Only 6 pts. out of 30th 5 pts. out of 29th and the Sabres @Carolina on Thurs and @Edmonton on 29th

We are sitting on three first rounders this year, are we not? St. Louis and New York?

[JATMtheJATM]

Yup

[DetDannyWilliams]

I found this interesting last night Duffer in the Post Game show last night read this off...

Thru 44 GM's last yr. The Sabres were 13-26-5 = 31 pts

Thru 44 gms this yr Sabres are 14-27-3 = 31 pts

Sabres are = to how bad they were last yr historically worst Sabres season on record

Goal differential (excluding SO) -72 this season compared to -48 @ the same juncture last season

24 G worse thru 44 gms. 1/2 a goal worse/gm's than last season

[swiper]

Pegula should be embarrassed.

Assuming this season continues in this way, will this be the 2 worst consecutive seasons in modern NHL history?

I tried looking it up but couldn't come to a conclusion.

One can't go by points given the OT point.

Perhaps wins alone would be the determinant.

Obsess much

[mightysimi]

The Sharks had 2 seasons of 11 and 17 wins in a row. Only a handful of ties in both seasons. That was thier first 2 in existance though.

Do you agree we should exempt new franchise teams since they begin with such a disadvantage?

Oilers have been bad over the past 5 or so years but I don't think they have been this bad.

You really have to be fully committed to be this bad for two or more years.

i think the fact that Florida made the finals in what? the 3rd year? With a team of nobody... This Sabres team is tragically bad... blind squirrel with no arms bad. Don't exclude any team.

[coastal]

Pegula should be embarrassed.
For what... finally doing what it takes to properly fix a poorly built roster?

i would have done the exact same thing.

[mightysimi]

Well this should be the year where you could point to that turned everything around. Also the 68-69 Flyers were pretty bad with 20 and 17 wins each.

[JATMtheJATM]

Reports are the coyotes are now gonna blow everything up in an effort to draft high.

They have called up an ECHL goalie with a sub .900 save percentage in that league.

Will they do it for two or more years like the Sabres?

when talking about the coyotes, their are more pressing questions. like, are the owners going to opt out and relocate?

besides, the sabres are only "tanking" this year, they were just unintentionally REALLY bad last year.

When was the last time the Sabres played a playoff game?

Was it 5 years ago?

Congratulations!!!!

The Sabres finally caught up to the Oilers!!! And are pulling away from the Canes!!!

It's funny how the majority of the fan base is completely on board with this tank.

Not too many cities have the collective low self-esteem of Buffalo.

[SpikedLemonade]

....And now, to what might have been the worst game of the season

Thumbs down to what the NHL was selling in Buffalo on Thursday night. The Sabres lost 7-0 to the Minnesota Wild, and Buffalo fans fell into three groups.

There were fans who cheered the loss, fans who booed the inept Sabres and fans who offered the information that they held tickets but refused to attend, probably because they had no interest in cheering or booing. Fans who cheered the loss were critical of the fans who were upset by the lop-sided defeat, and vice versa. Fans who didn't show up mocked those who did.

Connor McDavid or Jack Eichel will supposedly put everyone in the same group next season. It's sad that it takes a teenager to do that, and sad that the NHL doesn't prevent the ludicrous way this season is followed at the bottom of the standings. It's high time the "tank talk" stopped and the draft lottery was changed to give all 14 non-playoff teams an equal shot at the No. 1 pick.
