How does it feel to be in 2nd place?

Pretty sure the three game win streak didn’t happen until February 

You say that like there was only a single 3 game win streak last year.  They were WAY better than that.  It actually happened TWICE.  But sadly, those were the longest strings of W's the entire season.

I will mark you down as glass is half empty.

You kidding?  He's already looking at the fact that he needs to wash the glass before he uses it again and that's going to take even MORE water so it's at BEST 1/4 full and likely only 1/10th.

Your analogy is goofy. Being a .500 hockey team can't be interpreted either optimistically or pessimistically. It's not a good place to be.

Perhaps it's the criteria behind the statement?

It COULD be worse as far as a record goes.  But if the Sabres want to be in the playoffs it HAS to be better.

The answer to the thread title is “fleeting”.

I'd choose "wistful." 

And now I feel like sitting next to a wishing well while staring into a meadow trying to recapture that euphoria of the Sabres spending a whole two hours of October in second place of the Atlantic division.  

Will I ever feel that way again?!?!?

It feels the same as being only 3 points out of a playoff spot.

 

 

On the other hand, they need to jump over 6 teams to get into that last wild card spot. Not as easy as it sounds as they aren't all going to lose because they play each other and SOMEONE gets points in those games. Plus 4 of those 6 teams have a game in hand too.

The best way to look at it might be the 8th playoff spot currently has .542 of available points. Buffalo has .375. 

To get to (or above) .542, they would have to win their next 5 games in a row...and that would get them (points percentage), fractionally into the last playoff spot.
