I don't necessarily disagree. Our goaltending is certainly a question mark. That said, how many teams really have above-average goaltending?

Statistically speaking, 14 teams.

Let's see them crack hockey .500 first.

There are good reasons why the Sabres get a pat on the head for being 7-8 while all the other teams in the East with similar records (outside of NJ) get a "WTF is wrong with this team?" reaction.

Also, switch the 8th place Devils and the 9th place Lightning, and you more or less get the exact mix of teams you might have expected would make the playoffs already in position. The only real anomaly is CBJ being so bad. Everyone else is pretty much where you'd expect them to be 5 months from now.

They just cracked .500 hockey (without the trickery of OTL).
