this core uses injuries as a reason not to show up, see saturday night
vanek and roy have been no shows
miller was average at best last 2 games
special teams was brutal

oh and the caps still control their destiny with a game saturday vs the rangers that may be meaningless for the rangers

I would have started enroth saturday to try to keep the skaters focused, now you have to ride a tired miller

reality is a female dog

Until the fight is over i will still hold onto hope...............

Not necessarily true, if they lose thursday and we win all our remaining games (we play before them on saturday) their game against the rangers might not matter.

the statement was the caps control their destiny, not the sabres though

and that is a true statement

just more proof that they are an embarassment of an organization and it starts right with the owner.

Its been a tough year to be a sabres fan. Odds aren't good, but as much as they screwed the pooch against the leafs on saturday lets still have a little faith here people, it aint over till its over

If the capitals lose out, which i dont think is at all out of the question, we only need 2 wins out of the 3 correct?

in miami
- homiedclown

Ohhh Miami. That's so scary because we know how lively their fans are. Here's the thing, I refuse to count the Sabres out yet. Philly and Boston booted us the past two years on their ice, big whoop, this isn't last year. I think the Sabres will come out strong and win tonight as well as Thursday. Saturday, not sure. It may not even matter if certain things don't go our way.

- ScaryGood

Correct. Also, if Florida loses tonight, even if the Caps were to win Thursday, we could still catch the Caps and/or Panthers if they were to both lose on Saturday (We'd have to win of course).

Three teams have "controlled their own destiny" in regards to this 8th spot: Buffalo, Washington, and Winnipeg. All three teams crapped it away.

Tell me about it. Whatever the outcome, who would have thought we'd be in this position after the way the season has gone? I am just glad it's fun again.

Is it bad that I am more excited about the NHL Draft this year than I am about this team making the playoffs.


I see what the likes of top picks like Stamkos can do and I drool over what they can do with the picks they have this year.

Why no Miller? Is this normal for him to not practice on a game day?

Scared of what? Failure? It's Hockey not a job interview.
