Sabres do this often. Get a dominant win which inflates hope in fans only to lose several games to botto feeders. Nice win. Now reel off 4 or 5 then we will take another look at this team.
I have been a fan since day one and it is the first team where I do not care for any of the players. Murray and Botterill have wasted a decade and built a team of marginal talent.
This team has no idea how to start or close out a period. How many time have they given up an early goal? Better yet giving up a goal in the final minute of a period? Coaching has something to do with it.
