‘After falling short of their goals in three of the four sets so far this year, Buffalo finds themselves needing to go on a seven or eight game win streak to get back on pace. A tall task for a team that can’t seem to handle not getting on their high horse after winning just two straight. Falling short in the next set could (and should) mean jobs could be lost, players could be traded, and fans left feeling hopeless. Something all too familiar to fans in a market that deserves far better, and has for 14 long years. There is still time to turn this around, but it is running out fast. The Sabres will face the Blackhawks, Hurricanes, Penguins, Devils, and Wild in their next 5 game set.’
