The Buffalo Sabres might need another 100+ point season to make the playoffs
Transcript
00:00But they've got work to do, is the point of this.
00:03And that is going to be a challenge, making the playoffs in this division.
00:08You could need 106 points to even get in in this division.
00:13And the Sabres won it with 109 last year.
00:15And it was no slouch last season.
00:18So I think you're going to—that might need to play into Jarmo Kekalainen's calculus
00:23of how he approaches this year.
00:26Because if you're in the, you know, say the Pacific with their measly 120 points
00:32as a division, things are a lot easier.
00:34If they're in the Pacific division, they are with 18 points—sorry, 17 points,
00:41they would be in third place, or fourth place, one point behind the Mammoth.
00:48Or, sorry, wow, I messed that up.
00:50They would be in third place, tied with the Kraken.
00:52I was looking at the wrong division.
00:53I knew it was third.
00:54And, like, they are really—they're a good hockey team right now,
00:58and yet they're tied for last in the Atlantic.
01:00The Maple Leafs are last in points percentage in the Atlantic at 8-6-2,
01:07but that's a 563 points percentage.
01:11I mean, I know that that's just one more way of saying what you've been talking about,
01:14but that's a high level of hockey going on when the worst team is at 563.
01:19Absolutely.
