This guy nails it...

[SabreEleven]

On the surface, the numbers suggest that these Sabres should be in position to snatch a playoff spot, maybe even home ice in the first round...so why are they on the outside looking in? Truth is, they're just not that good. Parts of their game work some nights, but they rarely put all the pieces together. Calling them inconsistent is being too kind. As a group, they're neither particularly talented, nor do they seem motivated to play with passion and intensity. Like the Hurricanes, they're just too soft on too many nights.

At least we aren't the only ones to see that we suck, because the FO doesn't see it that way.

He nailed it.

Sabres have too many average role players and the supposed stars aren't producing. Is there a team out there that would be scared to play the Sabres in the playoffs?

I don't think so looking at the last six games. all L's.

This report (found @ http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/st...960.html?imw=Y) really nails it in regards to the play against Ottawa the other night.


All valid points especially if the Sabres want to make the playoffs this year and the play they exhibited in this game makes me question if they will.

Actually, I think there are about a handful of guys that work at HSBC Arena (non players) that don't get that.
