Just crazy teams like the Canadiens and Bruins who have dreadful goals differentials of -26 and -28 are ahead of the Sabres and so are the Red Wings who are 11 points clear of us with a -12 differential.

 

The Sabres have a -8 and are dead last in the Eastern Conference...makes no sense. 

Makes some sense.  The lack of leadership and maturity has caused this team to lose many close games that could have (should have) been won.  Their goals for (179) is third in the Atlantic and is representative of the offensive talent on the teams.  But poor play by UPL and defensive breakdowns have allowed way too many goals against.  The observation on goal differential gives me hope that while their record shows DFL, maybe a new GM can tweak the roster and they can compete sooner than later.

Well, that was fun.
