oh the 'i know you are but what am i' defense, definitely not an imbecile. :laugh:

Isn’t that the definition of a guy who makes threads On the main board saying you’ve given up on Eichel and he will never have his breakout season just a month in (and now he is top six in scoring) and that being a sabres fan is one of the worst things ever (then they go 14-2-2) and you’re suddenly sticking up for them in every thread until our first loss by more then one goal where you’re now once again on the angry train dishing out insults calling players ahl calibre. Take care. Don’t need to waste my time with you.

Regardless of whether or not they make the playoffs there's no doubt they've taken a big step forward this season.
FWIW i think they'll qualify for the postseason.

I'm not surprised in the least by their 5 game losing streak. Not because they are a bad team, but because of the law of averages.

During their 10 game winning streak, 7 were decided in overtime or the shootout and 9 of 10 were decided by 1 goal.

During their current 5 game losing streak, 2 have been decided in overtime and 4 out of 5 were decided by 1 goal. In today's game, they just had a really bad 3rd period.

So there has just been a bit of a market correction as of late. Overall, I think the Sabres are a much-improved team that should finish above 500.

They're a good team. They're not contending for best in the league quite yet, but their future is incredibly bright.

I am just looking for opinions on what this means. Is this a team falling back to earth after a good start (my opinion) or is this just a skid for a team that has turned the corner?

Certainly interesting to see how the team responds to it's first true adversity.

Two of those five loses are in OT so they picked up a point and another of the two loses were one goal losses to great teams (Tampa Bay and Nashville.) There's nothing to see here.

should we cancel out any one goal wins or wins against poor teams too? or do you get to choose which games are relevant?

Of course, but none of what I said was insulting or trying to be, and going by your logic he can easily skip over our comments too.
You weren't insulting at all and you made a point to not be. I guess my post was more directed at the other poster I quoted.

And apologies, I just find people to be so unbelievably nasty and rude on the internet and in no shape or form were you either.

Really? You said we're free to not read his posts, which is exactly what I said I do. What is insulting about that?

I'm sure that 10 game streak also had 3 on 3 wins in there, and wins where they probably didn't play their best.

These are the ebbs and flows of a full season. At the end of the day though, the sabres have finally taken a step this year.... that much we can all agree on... its just a matter of figuring out how much of a step it is.

At least Buffalo gets a 5 game losing streak before people pounce. Try being a Leaf fan where a 2 game skid = massively overrated team.

Really? The Leafs were planning a parade with Komisarek and Grabovski leading their team.....and that trash can Nikolai Kulemin was being compared to Datsuk after 40 games in the league. The Leaves ARE overrated.

If you are basic minded and allow the vocal minority to speak for an entire group. You sound simple.

Sorry, just reminding Leafs posters of what happened in reality. I know it hurts you deeply that real life happens.

The Sabres only have 3 regulation wins in their last 15, BUT they only have 3 regulation losses in their last 15. Going to OT in 9 of their last 15 games is insane.

I know the team has taken massive strides forward and will continue to do so, but getting the earth salted by a bottom ten team with the equivalent of a piece of wet ply board as a coach, adding on to a long losing streak hurts like a bitch.

Philly and its current roster composition realistically won't remain a bottom ten team with for long, especially with any half decent coach. Just like the Sabres weren't going to remain top flight for long.
