one good thing to take out from this season is...

[DetDannyWilliams]

Sabres finish .500 21-21-6

[SabreEleven]

Buffalo mentally... Finishing at a mediocre level is considered a good level...

[Skooby]

Applaud now...

[Dude]

What's good about finishing .500?

[gebobs]

Sabres finish .500 21-21-6
LOL...with OT, 0.500 doesn't mean what it used to. In this case, it's 6 more losses makes 0.500.

[trapezeus]

so they blew their chance at the first ball is what you are saying. which is classic buffalo. make us suffer through a crap season, and then don't deliver on providing us a chance to upgrade quickly.

First Ball isnt garaunteed regardless.

AFAICT, they currently sit at #9 ± 1. The best any team can do is move up 4 spots.
