I guess it depends upon how you interpret what he said. I did not hear his comments so I don't have the complete context and maybe something was lost in translation but, in print, "maybe it was because Buffalo was not that good" comes across to me as "maybe it was because Buffalo was not that good tonight" as opposed to "maybe it was because Buffalo was not a good club coming in". Seems to me that it was a commentary on that specific game and not on the overall state of the team. Either way, there is no disputing that they were not good last night. They are in for another frustrating 1-3-1 type of game on Saturday against the Isles so they'd better figure things out.
