We are at the midway point of the season and have 38 points. It sort of speaks for itself without connotation or leaning

I’m the dude playing the dude disguised as the other dude!

Kraken always looked to be one of the more difficult teams in this easier stretch. Hopefully bounce back next game

One does not simply walk into a trade for Mortiz That’s why I call defencemen “Backs”’

Tickets to see the league’s best team (wut), my hometown Jets throttle the Bedard-less Hawks on Thursday, while my Sabres swim amongst the dregs. Fun

What about if the Sabres miss the playoffs this season, but improve upon their point total from last season? Reasonable successful season from Adams and the Sabres? Or does the preseason expectation of making the playoffs remain in tact? What say you?

Though the -4 over the stretch may point to a Dahlin still not quite at the levels we saw last year, with 11 points in his last 12 games Rasmus has resumed his rightful place among the top 10 in D men scoring, currently in a tie for 7th, with 32 points in 39 games. Over 81 games (the max he could now play this season) current pace stands at: 81 GP, 25 G, 41 A, 66 P, -27

You have my sword

Do the Sabres lack centres relative to the other positions? Also Mitts isn’t a better playmaker than Dahlin but at F, sure

The most true thing ever said

Not if the time it took to “round out” the process cost us a playoff spot this year. Remember, this year we are measuring based on results

Every damn time I hear @Spoonmanon the radio…haha anyways…good song

A lot of people would call McDonald’s mediocre, I think it’s great

Ya I just read a definition I liked that stated it as “average, but in the case one wanted more”. So, average yet still at the same time disappointing. that’s kinda the way I use it but ya, can’t be denied it’s used more often as “slightly below”

That’s awesome it’s also simply wild to me that 2011 series is the first you remember watching (in that it makes me feel old), but that’s life - - - Do you find, would you guess you find the drought easier to manage, considering it started when you were only around 10? Or would you wager more frustrating because almost your entire existence as a fan is sans playoffs? Don’t mind me and my questions, I like to ask lol

It seems to have that connotation yes, perhaps I’m the only one who seemingly adheres to the strict definition which allows for/specifically mentions “average”. But probably colloquially pointless at this point I guess, to your point

Is your best Sabres memory Ennis’ ot goal game 5 vs Philly, 2011? Actually asking

You people deserve so much better from this franchise

I’ve been trying so hard to reclaim mediocre for it’s true meaning: average. But doesn’t look like that’s gonna happen mediocre teams make the playoffs

I talk all the time on twitter with kids who are way more patient than me re: turning this around because they’ve only been following for like 5-10 years. Being bad generationally definitely hurts the fanbase size id imagine but this board is also skewed much older than other online places like, as mentioned, twitter

You might be the youngest person here? At 31? Haha we’re old im 37 and could tell I’m one of the youngest

Twenty-seventh.

No, they did. Coach, at least. I don’t think you’d ever get a stronger admission than that X be damned

Haven’t the personnel involved admitted outright to tanking for Mario?
