‘”The Sky Has Fallen”

This week’s Puck Stop.

OK, OK, as of the end of play Wednesday, the Sabres are technically alive. Writing a column for a weekly with deadlines and stuff isn’t easy and we had to pull out a crystal ball here to drive the point home.

With Boston losing tonight in a shootout, they pick up the point so if Buffalo ties them in the standings the tie-breaker would go to “goal differential”, which would give the edge to the Sabres, as their GF/GA count is far ahead of Boston’s.

So there are two scenarios to get Buffalo to the promised land:

Scenario #1:
Buffalo beats Montreal and Boston
Philadelphia loses to New Jersey and Pittsburgh (one game could go to overtime or a shootout)
Washington loses to Tampa Bay and Florida (one game could go to overtime or a shootout)

Scenario #2:
Buffalo beats Montreal and Boston
Philadelphia loses to New Jersey and Pittsburgh (one game could go to overtime or a shootout)
Boston loses to Ottawa and Buffalo (both games must be regulation losses)

If these planets so align, we and Artvoice would have ourselves a “Dewey Defeats Truman” headline. Yeah, we would take that in a heartbeat!
