if Washington wins not only does it help the Sabres but it also knocks the Leafs out of 8th place.
8 TORONTO NE 59 29 24 6 64
9 WINNIPEG SE 61 29 26 6 64
10 WASHINGTON SE 58 29 24 5 63
11 TAMPA BAY SE 58 26 26 6 58
12 NY ISLANDERS ATL 59 25 26 8 58
13 MONTRÉAL NE 60 24 26 10 58
14 BUFFALO NE 59 25 27 7 57
15 CAROLINA SE 59 22 26 11 55
So you want a team that the Sabres have to catch to win and get farther away?
This game doesn't help the Sabres at all. Either way, a team ahead of them in the standings gets points,
It's probably slightly better for the Sabres if Washington wins because then they'll have to catch Washington with 65 for 8th rather than Toronto with 66, but honestly the Sabres have so little chance of turning it around that its really a moot point.
Washington is playing Carolina, not Toronto.Originally Posted by OpIv37
I don't think LW understands what he's talking about... Washington winning just means more ground we have to make up.
If Washington wins, yes Toronto is out of the 8th spot... but that also means we're 8 points out instead of 7. Logic fail.

“I look at it if we can win a game, we can close the gap to five points. You win that game tomorrow I think we can put those two disappointing periods against Philly behind us which have really been the only disappoint in about a 10 games stretch (6-3-2) I think we can put a run together and I told the team that before Pittsburgh that ‘I still believe in yah’. When we’ve been health and on the same page we’ve been able to push ahead.” Ruff added, “That’s the crazy part about where we’re at, one game we can be in 14th and you can win a game and you can be in 10th or 11th and it creates hope. There’s teams, you can look at baseball, you can look at football, teams that get into the playoffs on the last day and that might have to be us.” ~ Lindy Ruff

So if the Caps win tonight, does that mean we're supposed to root for Toronto to beat Jersey tomorrow night so they can leap frog Washington?

As long as we catch Toronto it doesn't matter! That's auto playoffs.
So Canes blow the Capitals 5-0, leaving the Sabres 7 pts out of the PO but if Washington would have won, the Sabres would have been 8 pts out of the PO. Why did we want Washington to win again?
Don't you dare worry about playoff position at this point.
Just sit back and accept the mediocrity.
Actually being in Last place in your conference and drafting in the top 5 positions is less then mediocre.
Plus I was just trying to show LW he was wrong.

The Sabres have shown no consistency this year. I just do not see gown they can turn it around. I say dump Stafford, Goose, (Boyes if you can) and Roy for some youth and picks. Go after a true veteran leader via trade or free agency and get a top 5 pick hopefully get no worse than #2.
