Here's the thing for me. It was similar the year we ended up a point behind Florida as well. I think there are positive signs, there are roster improvements, there are a number of good things, but I still think we end up a little on the outside. As such I think this is a moment not to be lost and if you want to build forward it's the time for some bold moves and immediate roster improvements. get just a little bit better and we might just get in like Montreal did last year and then you can really build.

If you can move prospects or picks now for roster veterans or disgruntled players like a Chinakov we should do it and do it now. Forget about when Norris might come back and get a top 6 forward now. I really don't want Kevyn in charge but since he is, he needs to make the moves. Don't let this opportunity slip away thinking next year we will be even better. Be better NOW. 

Unfortunately I think Kev will be conservative and believe too much in his own guys and previous moves and then we will have Tuch issues and other people wanting out, Maybe Levi, maybe more and it can all go back down the dumper real fast. Don't miss the moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Sabres are 4-4-2 this season so far

They started 0-3

Won 4 of the next 5, thus 4-4

and now have lost two straight on OT, thus 0-0-2

Statistically, we’ll know by American Thanksgiving.  

They were in a playoff spot on American Thanksgiving last year ...

By points percentage.  Not by points.  Needed to not just outplay the Wild the day before but actually beat them to have been able to say they were there by both metrics on Eat Turkey/ Watch Football Day.

The question was about last season.

I'm enjoying the fact that they're competitive.   

They've been in every game.

They've had better starts at home, and their home record is much better since Jan 1st.

PK is 1st in the league and the PP doesn't stink.

Lyon is playing well in goal.

Taking steps in the right direction, the points will come if they continue to focus on the details.

I wouldn't say "they're for real" yet, but I'm encouraged.
