You know what I find so ridiculous. And I'm to blame for this as well. Being a fan of Buffalo has put such a jade on us that we ignore statistics. 2nd last has gotten 1st overall pick the last three years. And I believe a bunch before that as well. But because its Buffalo if we come in 2nd last we are destined to pick 3rd. It's just humorous to me.

Again I'm guilty of it as well and I cant help it. But it's funny that 2nd last often has better chance at winning lottery then last place.

That's not even the point. We want to finish last because if we do we are guaranteed to get Eichel at a minimum. Most people realize that we're not getting McDavid unless we get lucky.

PP here go let me hear that beautiful canon again jackets!

They changed the odds though.
2nd last has as a 5% less chance of winning now.
Same for last place.


It's called the edmonton oilers rule change

And that's why I think the lottery is such a joke. The last four lotteries, the team that has finished last hasn't won. Yet, they decided to change the percentages to make the chances even worse for the team that finishes last?

Sabres have parked the bus.

You completly missed my point..

I'm saying I want Eichel as a consolation prize too. But if someone told me I had better odds at getting McDavid by history if I finish 2nd then I do with finishing 1st I'd at least consider it

I really can't wait to see Enzo play with a good Sabres team. He's good, scary good.

I hope someone knee to knees ennis and ends his season. The little f@&k doesn't get it

I agree. Its stupid. Last almost always never wins the lottery unless you're Pittsburgh or Edmonton

Isles are up 1-0. We want them to win just in case so the Pens have to win tomorrow to get into the playoffs.

I am sick and tired of hearing "another stop by Lindback"...

Entertaining pond hockey.

Tyler Ennis is legit. End of story IMO

they changed the lottery %... So its not statistics. Statistics say we have a better chance at 3rd if we finish 29th

I know what you're saying, but history has no bearing mathematically speaking. The results of previous drafts are independent of this one. I'd rather have a 20% chance than a 13.5 % chance for McDavid, and I'd rather have a 100% chance than a 33.5% chance for either Eichel or McDavid. That's what's on the line.

Should be 4-1

It's been obvious for a while

Very entertaining game, as long as they stay behind.

Just making nice plays all over the ice. Stealing pucks, getting in the corners, creating chances. I would take him over most wingers in this league I think

Should be 4-1
- BackSlider

But it's not. We should only have like 10 wins going by advance stats and how we get dominated. But we stick in games and try to ruin the future

Dalphe had to put his stick out and stop that empty net goal

Let's not get carried away. He definitely has a spot on the Sabres, but I could think of probably 20-30 better wingers that I'd rather have.

And he has a very good contract until he is 29.
