scoreboard watch thread

[JATMtheJATM]

im creating this thread for scoreboard watching. something i enjoy doing from october through april. (and in baseball, april through october)

since the sabres are in a position to land a top 2 pick, im going to post scores of games that have implications to the standings and the sabres. feel free to join in and add games where teams can move ahead of other teams in standings, ect.

dallas is beating the isles, 2-0. the isles have the 4th worst record in the NHL, and buffalo has their first (with condition)

edmonton (4 points above buffalo, 3 more games played) plays chicago later.

the devils (47 points, NO FIRST ROUND PICK) play toronto (47 points)

why the devils are important is because if they fall out of the playoffs, the lottery would only be in play for 13 teams, not 14.

[JATMtheJATM]

tor leads the devils 1-0
dallas leads NYI 2-1
chi and edm are tied at 1.

Mildly awkward thread...

[trapezeus]

it is a little awkward, but with the oilers getting so close to us in points, it's a good idea. and the isle where the second worst team a little while ago and are slipping away from us. which probably means we'll get their pick and they'll see how they do with their own mcdavid sweepstakes.

when you are playing for a draft spot, its important to see where you stack up.

presumably this thread could actually have some discussion on teams invading our #1 pick for 2014. the app doesn't allow that.

i think it's actually nice that the sabres keep tying and losing in shootouts. thye are showing improvement, but not making an insane run to lose their pick. but i have to say, when i saw the oil were as close as they were, i was a little nervous.

Sabres have played (43) games so far, I think they only have (7) wins in regulation, That's a special kind of futility, They should be fine in regards to the top pick.

i have a hunch that the oilers would trade the top pick for an established younger NHL player. well, theyve said as much prior. so, i could see the sabres trading up if the oilers won it using their first, and say another pick, or player. assuming the sabres pick top 3 themselves.
