Why Sabres Fans should be appreciative of this team

The Buffalo Sabres are marching back into the playoff race only a few points out. There are about 5 teams fighting for 2 spots with Sabres, Rangers, Islanders, Flyers, Jets all battling for the 8th and 7th spot and yet you still have Sabre fans screaming at the T.V. for the Sabres to lose. I don't know if people realize by now that there is pretty much no way the Sabres are going to be with a top 4 pick its just not going to happen with this team Mckinon will not be a Sabre and its about time all fans rally around this late push that has been very impressive. Miller has been playing lights out behind a week defense and our young players look good as well highlighting Defense man Zach Pysk has been solid with Pardy as his partner and Brian Flynn has 4 goals. GetRealHockey writer for the Sabres as well Ryan Womeldorf is on the side that the Sabres should give up on the season and get a higher pick. Not that its a wrong opinion but first off you can't expect the Sabres players to give up on the season with 2 wins away from a playoff spot do you? Buffalo has done this before in 2011 after the Derek Roy injury the Sabres rallied around Thomas Vanek to make a mad rush to seal a playoff seed at #7 in the East after starting off just as slow as the Sabres have now well the difference.....time. The NHL season was shortened to 48 games due to the lockout so the slow start will hurt in the end if the Sabres aren't playing in the post season but it is very impressive what they have been doing as of late. Darcy Regier made a big move at the NHL Trade Deadline dealing Captain Jason Pominville to the Wild for a 2013 1st rd pick, 2014 2nd rd pick, Goaltender Matt Hackett and Forward Johan Larsson who both played very well in their debut with the Rochester Americans, So they got younger and got 2 really good picks for a very good player who did a lot for this organization including the go ahead goal against the Senators in the 2nd round to advance to the eastern conference finals. Back to the fans, I am not attacking the fans but booing the Sabres at FN center right now isn't the best thing and yes they have a right too after the way the season has gone but giving up now does nothing to help this team. The Sabres have 8 games remaining with most teams that are battling with the Sabres for that spot including a game with the Islanders, Jets, and Flyers. To me you have to win 6 of the last 8 in order to make the playoffs with help as well.
