    It’s just for fun now. It’d great to see them get to 90 points. If they beat Columbus, Montreal, Detroit, and somehow pull 3 from Rangers, Carolina, Devils they could do it.

  2. JayTeeKay18

    Realistically the only way we can get in playoffs is by winning out, and that’s even slim chances too

  3. Yop_BombNA

    The dream scenario is we and Florida win out.

    Pens and isles (with their boring ass trap hockey) both miss by losing out and hockey is blessed with the most fun teams making it.

    As a side Paul Maurice gets fired and the Panthers are allowed to be fun again.

  4. They probably won’t be in the playoffs but good thing is it’s elimination day for Ottawa and Detroit but the Sabres will survive today no matter what, that is a huge W already, especially before the season a lot of us think they’d be better.

  5. sarcastic_man_13

    Game 1 of running the table and getting into the playoffs.
