The last week did not get much better for the Buffalo Sabres with three more defeats. The slide has turned into a full-scale slump, the kind that usually ends up ballooning into a double digit losing streak that eventually knocks the Sabres out of playoff contention. We’ve watched this movie before.
There was hope that veteran head coach Lindy Ruff plus some veteran additions could prevent that from happening, but alas, this does not seem to be the case.
The games will now start to come thick and fast, there won’t be too much time to ruminate – shape up, or get out of Dodge.
