So, we're tied with the icky Hurricanes in points. And according to NHL.com, we are in the 8 spot.. but that's incorrect. We are tied with Carolina in points, but they have more wins *tiebreaker* thus they should have the 8-spot. Although maybe because we have a game in hand? I dunno but if the playoffs were today, the Sabres would be out. :(
All that being said, last night was a decent game. The only real issue I had was that the boys could NOT find the back of the net. That was pretty frustrating (more for them than for me I'm sure). Yeeeesh. major kudos to Patty Lalime for busting his butt last night and keeping us in it. He was better on the rebound control last night, which I think is his weakest point. Once he is back to 100%, and if the fellas keep playing in front of him like they did last night- if we can manage to score some goals, then there is a definite chance the Sabres are in the playoffs. Certainly all is not lost.
In the west, the Blue Jackets are moving up- currently chillin in the 5th spot, I Believe with a few points between them and the next team down. WOOHOOO! :):)
And now for a few public announcements:
-Hey, it worked for Ryan Miller!
-YOU can help! This is like the Amber alert system for Pommer's game..

We're in 8th place because we have a game in hand. The win tie-breaker only goes into effect if both teams have played the same number of games.
okay I thought it might be that.. still a scary spot!
