So remember how all those models last week had us at a low percentage for making the playoffs? Well I realized it was because of remaining strength of schedule and I just looked at it yesterday for the first time and it’s pretty insane. Between Feb 21 and Mar 19, so 28 days, we play 15 games including these:
Leafs – 2
Lightning -2
Caps – 2
Bruins – 2
Panthers -1
Oilers – 1
Stars -1
Rangers -1
That’s pretty much playing a playoff team with the same or more points than us every other night for a month. Crazy. Gonna be a tough stretch but I see us going 15-0-0 in this lets gooo

So you’re saying the city should start budgeting for the Granato statue now?

Im fairly new to following hockey, it seems strange that the GP aren’t equal between teams by weeks end. Is there a reason why we are behind on GP? Will if all balance out by seasons end?

Going into the season there were four teams in the East you could argue were poised to jump out of the ‘rebuilder’ bucket, Montreal, Buffalo, Ottawa, and Detroit. Now, with half a season to go Montreal can’t get it into first gear, Ottawa is for sale, and the Shannaplan seems to have hit the fan.
Each of the other three teams were highly touted for the moves they made to improve their fortunes. Buffalo stood pat, drafted three times in the first round, and signed Eric Comrie and Lybushkin, as by the numbers as it gets, draft your picks, plug your holes, move on. They also made use of the waiver wire when it suited them.
Adams kept his powder dry while other GMs were getting splashy. *However…*
If fortune favors them and they lockdown the eight seed they get two back-to-back away games in Boston in April as a reward. I hate those odds. Pure cloud talk here, but is there **ONE** move Adams could make to get this team from the eight seed to the five? Because, if that happens, you maybe draw New Jersey or the Rangers. And from there? Well, who knows??

That extra point we earned against the caps coming in handy

Don’t care. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. And we have a tough row to hoe. We aren’t in until we’re in.

Hopefully my October Sabres make the playoffs bets will offset my Bills make the Super Bowl bets. 🤦🏽♂️
