Next 10 games tough schedule, how will they do?

[Dubi Doo]

I hate to be a statwatcher, but need to see more than one line not getting dominated in high danger chances, and there are some tough teams on there.

Are the numbers really that bad? I figured they didn't look great on the west coast trip. That was against weak competition but 3-in-4 nights + the long travel and wonky time makes it understandable to me.

I suppose we'll find out soon enough if the early season 'success' was a mirage. Hopefully, the boys gain confidence and continue to grow.

0-10

This is the thinking to have. Then you can’t be mad.

 

[Beerz]

Bingo!

 

[TheBarnIsElectric]

Ugh. The following 10 are just as bad.

Would be nice to see them take a definitive step forward over this stretch, but I don't dare hope for more than .500.

 

[Dubi Doo]

5 game losing streak. When do they snap it?

 

[Sabre the Win]

5 game losing streak. When do they snap it?

Not til we are firmly eliminated before Christmas

[Dirty Dog]

always was the wisest here!

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Yea but you didn’t talk about palm trees, so you’re just as wrong as the rest of us.

 

[Chainshot]

I wasn't expecting this black hole to open up and swallow them. But here we are.

Again.

 

[Fjordsen]

Bravo

I wasn't expecting this black hole to open up and swallow them. But here we are.

Again.

At least in Groundhog Day the protagonist improves incrementally after each failure. The Sabres? Not so much.

Only 2 pts to catch Montreal to be last place in Eastern Conference

Only 2 pts to catch Montreal to be last place in Eastern Conference

And 4 points to catch a wild card spot…

 

[Fjordsen]

And 4 points to catch a wild card spot…

We have more games than Tampa (3) and Rangers (2).

 

[TheMistyStranger]

Either 7-2-1 or 2-7-1.

I hate how likely the second one looks

 

[OkimLom]

We have more games than Tampa (3) and Rangers (2).

Okay, because there’s no way possible that we can makeup those games and close the gap of points in the 55 games that we have remaining? Gotcha.

Way too soon, especially looking at the standings, to be entrenched in what outcome over the other, whether a playoff spot or draft lottery spot.

I agree that it's too early, but the situation continues to deteriorate. I don't think we have much of a chance of making the playoffs.

I don't want to hear anything about the draft right now, I'm sick of it, I'd rather trade pick for help.

 

[Dubi Doo]

7 game losing streak. Big yikes!

 

[Zman5778]

But I can't picture a scenario where we're out of the hunt altogether after this 10 game stretch.

I can sure picture it now.

 

[Ace]

I can sure picture it now.

Never underestimate their ability to underdeliver.

 

[Panthaz89]

The 2nd one doesn't look so bad when it means we win 2 out of the 3 next games...

 

[Fjordsen]

Stability

Aim low and never be disappointed.
