If they can pull things together and get on a roll like we saw in December I think they will be in alright shape. Miller has not been inconsistent and the defense is coming together compared to the beginning of the season, with exception to a few brain farts here and there. If our offense starts to find the back of the net on a regular basis I think we’ll see this team start to string together some serious wins and leap frog into 6th or 7th place. by no means am i off the bandwagon. but, being in the bottom 3rd of the conference, and losing 5 straight for a halfway mark of 41 points is not going to cut it. we need to have a 50 point 2nd half to have a legit shot at the playoffs. in january and february, the contenders will separate themselves from the pretenders. while we are only a couple of points out, we are virtually a 500 hockey team with overall inconsistency. i would characterize that as providing the sabres with a decent shot of missing the playoffs. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-07-08-buffalo-sabres-season-thread/36504)._
