I don't even know how to respond.

lol. Wow.

This is what I was afraid of. People automatically think "the suffering" is over. Expectations need to be lowered quite a bit. The Sabres have a long road ahead of them.

I'm just excited that we can all get excited when they win games next year. I don't have to feel bad that they're "ruining" something.

Whether they come in 3rd last or just miss the playoffs, I don't really care. I just want to be able to hope they win games next year as opposed to hoping they don't.

Colorado went from second last to second in their conference in one year.

I guess that would have been statistically close because they were on pace for 66/67 points then went 112, but who knows how many points they would have ended up with in a full season.

This is how I feel as well. I don't have to worry about what a win means for our future other than it being a positive.

The islanders went from fifth last in the NHL to fifth in the conference.

I just remembered why this site is a waste of time...

Later losers!

That falls in the ~20 point increase.

That's a bad example. They added a healthy Tavares to the roster. That in and of itself makes a huge difference for them from last year to this year.

It was the second example after colorado who went from second last with 39 points in a shortened season to 112 next year.

I see what you're trying to do, but comparing the Sabres to teams like Colorado and NYI is asinine.

Look at their forward groups then look at ours. I still think both teams were overachievers in their respective successful seasons. But they were more or less complete teams with a couple holes that needed filling. Easy now. Anyways, take a look at the Sabres and our abomination of a roster. We will not do what they did, next year.

There's a bottle in the bottom drawer of my desk that has small black line on it. Above the line are the words: "Stop here if working."

I just went below the line ...

Also the point wasnt even to compare them to the sabres. The point was every response i got was "not likely" "that never happens" etc etc... But obviously it does happen
