‘The Sabres run of ineptitude has been startling, even given the low expectations for them. Until they beat the Canadiens on Feb. 3 (they are undefeated in four meetings with the Habs!), the Sabres had peeled off 14 straight losses. In six of their past 10 games they have registered 20 shots or less, including 10 – TEN – against the New York Islanders Sunday.’
