This is what makes me believe they're finally on their way to being a good team and an end to this eternal rebuild is within sight. When they were stinking barns up left and right from November until the all star break, it seemed like as soon as they hit a rough patch they crumpled into a ball and got boat raced. Now, I refuse to look away because these sumbitches don't flinch and fight their ***** off. They are a really damn good hockey team RIGHT NOW. Now imagine as the young talent here continues to grow and some of the younger guys get up here and get their legs under them. Night after night, we are "out talented" and these guys are still beating some of the best teams in the league and if they don't beat them, they're keeping it respectable. And this is no longer a case of "oh, they took us lightly." No, these are top tier teams jockeying for playoff positioning and the word is out by now that this isn't the "same old Sabres." It's kinda fun to be a Sabres fan again.
