All this means it is early in the season and so far there is a lot of parity.

To soon to draw conclusions, just win games and avoid losing streaks.  

 

And if it comes down to which teams want it the most, I actually am getting that feeling (for the first time in a while) that the Sabres actually want it.

Really curious as to why they (minus Lyon and 1 or 2 others) collectively looked so terrible out of the gate.  Their 1st 3 games, they were REALLY bad.  Since that Otter game when they got a few breaks but also made a lot of breaks, they've looked like an NHL team and haven't been out of any games.

Yeah, they got Benson back in game 4, but he wasn't good his last game and he wasn't there this last one and they still played well (outside of OT that is 😉 ) in those 2.

We shall see.   I want to believe that.
