Since the beginning of November, the Sabres have allowed 5 plus goals in 11 games. That is a combination of bad play by the defense men, poor play in their own end as a team and substandard goal tending. Tonight's game captured all three elements. The players talk all they want time to put it into action. If they lose but it is 3 to 2 that means there is a chance to improve. The game was a dumpster fire.
