Tank Thread and Tanking GDT XIX: Tankception (BUF @ CBJ)

[5 Minute Major]

Then there's a 33.5% chance we get McDavid still.

No, there isn't.

Where do you get that figure from?

 

[Bps21*]

I want him in Edmonton if someone else wins because no one will ever cry about us tanking again. Their 4 1st overalls in a short period to our 0 should distract people lol.

 

[MayDay]

As someone said, we won't know until like 11:30 PM (Eastern Time) on Sat. if we've "blown it" or not.

Doesn't matter. If Buffalo beats CBJ and PIT, and pulls ahead of Arizona on points, the fans will be pissed.

They're not going to sit back and say, "well it all depends. Arizona could beat the best-in-the-west Anaheim Ducks later tonight and knock us back into 30th."

No one will be saying that. Everyone will be thinking they've blown it.

13.5% McDavid, 20% Eichel, 66.5% 3rd

No, no, no. I have full confidence the crowd at the game on Saturday will not resort to any rash judgements or actions.

13.5% McDavid, 20% Eichel, 66.5% 3rd

Sure, if we BLOW IT AND GET 29TH!

 

[DazedandConfused]

On the topic of McDavid, if we don't get him I want him in Arizona, Columbus, Ottawa or Edmonton.
Arizona: means wed get Eichel
CBus: so likeable
Ottawa:get to see him all the time
Edmonton:for the tears on HF.

Obviously, I want him in Buffalo above all

So, we have the exact same lists. For the exact same reasons, save for Edmonton where it's basically so I can watch him at home or work haha.

The Bob might have a streak going into our game, if you know what I mean

Matt Ellis knows what to do.

5-0 final

the only point the jackets haven't picked up in their last 11 games was 1 OT loss to the team that clinched the president's trophy the next night.

Here's hoping Nick does his little brother a favor on Friday and hands him McEichel for a teammate

 

[Robert]

CBJ are 10-0-1 in the last eleven with the worst team in the league coming into Nationwide Arena on Friday.... It's fan appreciation night in Columbus too, you'll get your 30th ticket.. 100% guaranteed.. Perhaps next year too....

 

[EichHart]

If Bob starts and Fan appreciation night there should be no way we win this. If we do, the Buffalo curse is 100% real.

 

[lou955]

Hottest team in the league against Nolan's "little engine that could." I don't think I can watch.

I'm a Nolan guy but he's going to get an education on Friday.... If the Sabres win Nolan will be a candidate for coach of the year....

We are destined to win

 

[Karate Johnson*]

If we don't get McDavid I want him to go to Arizona.

He could be responsible for keeping that franchise there.

 

[Moskau]

A chance to get within 1 point of 29th place champions and a chance to beat the March 18th-April 8th league champions in the same night!?!?

 

[BornBuffaloFan]

I don't know what to say to that. It's awfully naive.

check mate

I feel the same.

Plus, it would be a nice destination to go watch Eichel vs. McDavid in mid-February on a mini-vacation.

 

[Eichel 9]

This wait seems like an eternity, I feel like I can't even function right until this is all over. I don't even want to socialize until after it is clinched.

Wow. That's a bit much. Seek help.

That game is completely out of my head .... Until Friday.

 

[BakedBuffalo]

I'm oddly relaxed. I just feel very confident we'll lose to Columbus, I guess.

Good for you

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

Here's to hoping Columbus goes on a scoring drought Friday night and the Sabres score 3 or more. Just to make Saturday interesting.

Here's to hoping that Lack is a sieve tomorrow and Moss and the boys take advantage!!!
