    Anybody else having a hard time envisioning this team in the playoffs?

    I have to admit that I'm seriously having doubts that this team is good enough to make the playoffs. It wouldn't be this bad if I knew that this FO would actually try to make a trade to address some of the problems, but let's be realistic, that's not this organization's style.

    I'm starting to. I'm hoping this is one of those slumps and they will pick it back up in a game or two. Maybe when Vanek returns. They sure aren't playing like a playoff team right now.

      They picked a very wrong time to go into a slump.

          We should have seen this coming, they've been inconsistent for the past 2 years and they just went on a nice run at the beginning of the year. They were do for a slump...it's the Sabre way.

            It reminds me so much of last year. Another depressing end to the season....

              Yeah...a slump...losing the two best players on the team had nothing to do with it.

                No...but losing our BEST player did have a lot to do with it.

                  so the Sabres are a Vanek and a Miller away from being the worse team in the League? That is pretty sad.

                    Oh and don't forget a Afinogenov.

                      as are many teams...take away the best two players from teams and watch them slide in the standings.

                        You should play for the Sabres, Eb, You are making excuses for them. Jersey lost Brodeur for over half the season and climbed the standings.
