If the Sabres put in the effort we expect ... they can break it !

The 74/75 Washington Capitals were the worst team I ever remember watching. I looked it up to get the year right and they only won 8 out of 80 games that year. 

Interestingly, since I had forgotten this. In the tank year we actually had 3 more points than the year before. 

Also interesting in a sad way, when you look back to 2013/14 bottoming out we were 8th in the division and Florida was 7th. What a tale of contrast there.
