Dunking on the fans seems a little off target. Not only have the Sabres been terrible for over a decade, they also managed to put the least interesting product on the ice they could possibly manage. No passion, hitting, fighting and star players that weren’t very interested in anything Buffalo doomed this franchise. Fans will be back. Time heals all wounds, even one as wide and festering as much as this one. This last month or so of play is like putting the staples in to seal that wound. By next season, we should be close to healed. If they win, by 2023, the fans will return.
