Nope, apparently the Sabres were the first team in NHL history to be eliminated from playoff contention in November.

It’s going to be funny when these idiots win 6 of their last 8 games and miss the playoffs by a few points and people still cling to the fact they were done in November when they left several points on the table in February in March that would have got them in.

I waived the white flag the moment the Sabres were officially cooked.

Sorry I didn’t bust my load prior to getting my belt buckle off like the rest of you months ago

Ride the Rainbow all you want, they started Sh!tty and got lucky UPL found his game or they wouldn't even have given you Rainbow Warriors Hope. They have never gained any Consistency throughout the Year. The ONLY REASON THEY ARE WHERE THEY ARE IS BECAUSE OF UPL and Teams around them floundering. And my Belt Buckle Never moved, because I saw the writing on the wall in October, actually it started July 10th but I did have Hope, so It lasted about 12 games into the Season

You’ve preached not caring about squeaking into the playoffs just to make the playoffs….build a Stanley cup contender or tank.

Holding out the way you have, wouldn’t it indicate you believe they are a contender?

With the understanding of the current direction under Adams, heading into year 5, how close do you think they are to raising the cup?

How long is their window open?

Who do look to in tight situations to come up clutch and snatch victory from defeat?

For what it's worth, the #Sabres win Saturday vs Leafs and the Bruins beat the Caps in regulation, Buffalo will be 4 points back with two head-to-head meetings with Washington still on the schedule.

Nope. Now that is just stupid.
Enlightened fans, no home boys, saw the disaster the whole Org is from top to bottom and rightly so 0laced the money on the fact they collectively couldn't get it done when they has trouble winning 2 games in a row, then struggled to string 3 in row, achieving that what? ..2 times, maybe 3? The dug a hole and kept digging.
You are 5alk8ng the possibility which still exists, while most fans were arguing the probability which was evident back in Dec.

But harp on with your false takeaway, you excel at it.

which is the biggest reason sabres are missing the playoffs?


1. Roster
2. Coach
3. 6K
4. Levi was not ready
5. no replacement for Quinn
6. refs
7. lack of loser points
8. lack of 5 on 5 scoring
9. pp
10 defense
11 owners
12 fans not showing up
13 overachieved last year and came back down to earth

I posted a clip from an article the other day....po8nt was:
Be careful not to read too much into bad teams 2inning down the stretch when other teams are coasting, resting players and playing their backups.

The success achieved when this happens doesn't mean the team is well positioned for the next season..it is fools gold.

14% chance. In case Swedish Jesus can’t math that’s an 86% chance at missing

Yes. It was over by the end of November

#32,436 - poor drafting, I was told yesterday.

Seriously though, in order:
1. Roster - GM did not properly construct a winning roster
2. Coaches - relied heavily on washed Vets, line combinations, in-game adjustments lacking, lack of effective preparation, failed system implementation...and my favorite, they wilted under self-imposed pressure
9. PP - their 5v5 game was OK, could have improved for sure. Their PP was dreadful and cost them valuable goals turning close games into losses and no OT points.
10. Defense - way too many HDCA given up.they don't defend well in front of their net. Ties back to 2 and 1.
13. Over achieve / down to Earth fall - false sense of where the roster was by GM in offseason...ties back to 1.

True. However, thr writing is on the wall once again.
Wait for Kevy's Season end presser when he will refer to their late season play...and reference internal growth.

Let's not forget KA. He's near the top. Hire Babcock. Let him go through the players phones and wipe out all the games. Now that's punishment

Might want to re-read a lot of those odds my guy lol.

Arizona at 69%, Minnesota at 63%, Detroit and New Jersey at 73% a piece.

Philly and Nashville both at 29%.

Thanks for proving my point LOL

If I told you in November that the Oilers would win 16 games in a row and that Nashville would rattle off an 18 game point streak would you have believed me ?

You conveniently ignored that also in the last blog when this was brought up.

Imagine telling a Panthers fan they were going to be playing in a Stanley Cup final in November of last year ?

But, but, but they never won 3 in a row in October, who gives a frank they play 82 games for a reason.
