In sports, being mediocre is probably the worst thing a team can do. For the Buffalo Sabres, that is seemingly where they have been for nearly 15 years, and was highlighted recently in an article on The Daily Faceoff looking at the Top 5 most mediocre teams over the past 10 years. Scott Maxwell defined mediocre as teams with the fewest playoff appearances, fewest playoff series wins, Top 5 picks and 100-point seasons.

In the end, it took the Buffalo Sabres much longer to get to this point than any fan wanted to see.
