Buffalo sports irony this week.

The worst loss in Sabres past decade was to Carolina, the "best" loss ever for the Sabres could be against them also on Monday.

Then on Saturday Buffalo plays Pitts, who are struggling bad. There is a chance the could still be fighting for a playoff spot. Buffalo beats them, eliminating them, just like the Steelers did to the Bills in 2004.

Right here. It's still quite easily possible for 2 wins vs non playoff teams and an OT loss against a penguins team that will surely be resting it's stars. I'm not content til it's clinched.

They aren't winning on the road against Columbus. That team would knock out almost every team in the east in a playoff series right now.

It's the biggest moment, possibly in the history of the Sabres, if we finish less than 2 points behind.

Agreed. The Towes Two will go down in Buffalo history.

I'm confident this will work out but I also wouldn't rule buffalo out of any individual game. Getting 5 points, though? Very unlikely

I could see the Yotes getting a point against Vancouver as well.

That or the Isles lose all 3 and Ottawa wins enough to pass them (as well as Det, Bos, Pitts and Wash) sounds like a lot, but the race is so close, it really is only an extra win or 2 for all of them.

Hopefully this is all over Monday night. Living in the Carolinas, I "need" to cheer for my "home" team, right??

Where are those guys that said Arizona will lose out!? lol... We are the worst team in the NHL and will prove that again finishing dead last.

I was one of those fans that said Arizona would lose out. Thankfully I was wrong. My teenage kids tell me that I am wrong all the time. Maybe they're right?

This has been the second most stressful only to the Caynes beating us in game 7 after we were 20 mins from playing the Oilers in the Cup Finals. We would have won the cup that year!

That is my Favorite Sabres Team of all time!

- MEBSabresFAN


I agree with you 100%. The Sabres could win three cups in the future and the 2005-2006 team would still be my favorite. That team was special and should've had the cup that year.

Exactly. In fact, I'll go this far and say that they'd be in the playoffs if it wasn't for the injury trouble they had early in the season. When they were at the bottom of the standings, I was never worried about them because they were better than their record showed. Same goes for Carolina...but I hate them (except for Monday lol), so I'll give them no props

They'd definitely be in the playoffs if not for the injuries.

Not really in a position to be saying that, pretty sure you flipped back and forth plenty of times.

Let's get it out of the way Monday so we can feel good about rooting for our team again.

WTF did the sharks think they were playing the sabres last night? So be it.

Almost there. To those that watched was it Arizona was good or SJ laying one of their usual eggs?

Anyone think it had to do with Maloney's comments?

Blacked out around 6:00. Faint recollection of some brunette singing.

This would slightly dim the bright memories of Vanek, Miller, Drury, Briere and Campbell winning nothing, to me. Only slightly (lol).

I always laugh when I hear one of the 90s Bills say they would not trade the 4 Superbowl losses for ONE Superbowl victory...Yeah, right, in their farking dreams.
