I know losing like this to the Bruins is gut-wrenching and brings out the poison in everyone, but I don't see it as dark as a lot of fans.
Yes, it's a young team and they had some good play for good stretches this season. I feel things unraveled when Dahlin and Tuch got injured. Then there was a rotation of injured players. Took the confidence out of the team. The D is a weakness along with goaltending and PK. It all added up to this.
For all the criticism, the Sabres are 3rd in scoring but have a -5 goal differential. Once again, that is the story. After this loss, the players got to know that the playoffs are a distant hope, and they have to loosen up again. Next season they have to bring in a vet on both sides of the blue line who has some good playoff experience.
I leave it at that and go back to yelling at my TV!
