you make one comment about your religious beliefs - not pushy in the least bit - and people (frank)ing attack you on here.
not in the blog section, but in the misc. lounge. then again, this is a messageboard and it should be assumed that people are just going to troll the dogpoop out of anything.
Ok, so we have 7 games before the deadline. 5 of the 7 are against teams in the playoffs currently. Right now we are 1 point above the last place team in the conference and 8 points out of 8th with 1 game in hand (10 out of 7th with 3 games in hand). How many points do we need to get in these 7 games to not be a seller? I would say we need 10 out of 14 to stay alive. So 5-2 or maybe 4-1-2 would keep us as buyers. Therefore, if at any point in the next 7 games we can no longer acquire 10 points, I say we switch to sell mode. Thoughts?

10 at the least. maybe even 11. in the last 27 games, we can only lose 5 or 6 of them, so in a 7 game stretch, anything over 1 or 2 losses and they're done.
also, the hockey is only going to get tougher as the season winds down, so losing 0 or 1 here would be key

i know the revenue of making the playoffs is great but what benefit does this team get from fighting their way back in to 8th place to play the bruins or rangers in the playoffs.. Maybe they have a chance against the rangers just because of their style of close games but the bruins will wear this team down.
I think they benefit more from missing the playoffs getting a little higher pick and trading off some of the dead weight to re-tool the team for next season.

i understand the logic behind the sentiment, but i can and will never root against this team making the playoffs. it just doesnt feel ok to me as such a big sabres fan.
and im not saying you or anyone else on this board isnt a big sabres fan, but my personal stand point is i will never ever root for this team to lose. just my $.02
