Do they Sabres make the playoffs this seasons (second edition)

[#freejame]

Pretty straightforward question again. Yes or no. 

Did this poll before the season started and more than 3/4 of Sabres fans said yes. Something tells me this may have changed.

No.

I chose to say 51% in spite of better judgment before the year started, 2 games isn’t enough to jump off what was already a hopium filled projection. I’ll still say yes.

It’s probably just cope but I ALWAYS think about that Marcus Johansson 2C, Botterill team that was FLYING out the gate at 2-0. Look what happened. Why not the inverse?

No. Lack of talent and hockey IQ in the top six. No viable option for a defense partner for Dahlin unless you break up Byram and Power, our best pairing.

You will know the answer after 10 games (especially after starting 0-2).  If they are above .500 then yes I think they get in.  If they are at .500 then it's unlikely.  If they are below .500 then its a big no and probably a 75 point season.
