What word would you use to describe the Buffalo Sabres this morning?

[Shoot da Puck]

These long winning streaks can effect ticket prices. 

Quick....Buy.....buy.

 

[Demoted]

Only 2 games... so I would describe them as "Fools gold" right now. Looks good from far away but once you start looking at the team as a whole you just need to sit back and keep mining till you see the real thing.

[Scottysabres]

Hung-over

[Pimlach]

Grateful, tired, and ready to learn more defense. 

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Something else ... Ballocks.

[Buffalonill]

Bipolar

[Curt]

They are something else all right.

 

Won two games in a row for the first time in two months!  Yay?

[KC Scouts]

Something else…..as in EXASPERATING

[French Collection]

I’ll stick to Jekyll and Hyde, the Bugs Bunny version, evil bird of prey or a Tweety bird.

[pastajoe]

Inconsistent 

[Taro T]

Alive.

Maddening

Twenty-seventh.

Dead in the water.

Last night:  Lucky

For the season: inconsistent, mediocre, incompetent, cooked, etc….

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

Disjointed.

[Contempt]

***** teasing

I can’t decide. I came up with 2 words - stagnant and plateauing

I feel like mediocre has the the intonation that it’s slightly below average. If a team was being referred to as mediocre, I would expect them to be in the 17th-20th range.

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

Yeah, I’d guess it mainly stems from people preferring to just use average when things are average, and that morphed mediocre to “baseline competence” or “slightly below average”.

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”
