Idemo Buffalo Posted Saturday at 12:18 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 12:18 PM I am new here and I am clearly annoying people with my positivity, so I will keep my positivity to one thread this season. It is October 19, lot of hockey left and The Sabres are currently only 1 point out of a playoff spot and The Sabres are currently only 4 points out of 1st place. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottysabres Posted Saturday at 12:47 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 12:47 PM They will make the playoffs this year. They'll figure it out and go on a tear. I truly believe this all the gloomy humor put aside for a moment. They are a really good team the start of the seadon not withstanding. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted Saturday at 02:23 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 02:23 PM JJ Peterka might be a burgeoning 30+ g and 70+ pt player. He may be better than Quinn. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted Saturday at 02:34 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 02:34 PM Only 76 more games until the season is over. That is a positive, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Peabody Posted Saturday at 02:42 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 02:42 PM Bad Sabres are better than no Sabres so I’ll watch every game. When they play bad the humor on this site atones for the on ice product. In four more years we should be a consistent playoff contender. I’ll be 75 and may finally get my granddaughter to watch with me. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jävə Keith Posted Saturday at 04:08 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 04:08 PM Lindy needs time with these players. He's just getting started. He said he's starting in learning each these individuals as both players and humans - what makes them tick. Give him the benefit of the doubt. How quickly you are forgetting the perspective of his deep experience, expertise, and he cares more than any other coach in our history to deliver a championship to our (his) city. For him this is more than a job, it's personal to his core. I am long-term optimistic. These early struggles are part of the process. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeSchmoe Posted Saturday at 05:15 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 05:15 PM (edited) Sabres are 10th in the league in expected goal %. If they stay at 10th AND if shooting percentages and goaltending regress to the norm, they'll make the playoffs. Edit: COL is 2nd in the league in EXG% but are below us, so it's possible for good teams to have bad results this early in the season.

K-9 Posted Saturday at 06:30 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 06:30 PM Shades of the Team Storm Cloud vs. Team Sunshine days. I sincerely admire the OP’s optimism, especially as a former member of Team Sunshine. And I hope he never loses that. But as season ticket holders for decades, I have firmly earned my right to be skeptical of everything this organization says and does. And I make no apology for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_sauve28 Posted Saturday at 07:51 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 07:51 PM We have more points than the Avalanche, Red Wings, Predators and Sharks. Yes, we have played more games, but still. Heck, we have more points than the Avalanche and Predators put together! Imagine a month ago if you knew we would have more point than those two teams put together, you'd be thinking we got it made. lol A win tonight and we are 1-1-1 on the road trip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think JJ is/will be a more rounded player. Terrible analogy but JJ is to Quinn what Crosby is to Ovechkin. One is versatile the other is one dimension. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for thread even if you're just playing a long game troll job! They're actually playing okay. I'm just mad about them buying out Skinner this year instead of next. In fact, if the team got good I think we could have gotten something for him if we ate salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
