Buffalo’s Surprising Edge: What Early NHL Weekend Rankings Reveal—and What They Conceal
Then again, surprises happen. Absolutely nobody went into last year thinking the Predators or Bruins would be in the bottom five conversation, after all. Still, it’s not hard to imagine getting all the way to April having just watched the Sharks and Hawks trade the spot back and forth. Let’s see whether that expectation changes, and how quickly.
Not ranked: Buffalo Sabres — Look on the bright side, Sabres fans, at least your owner is terrific.
That’s about where the good news ends, at least based on the very early returns of yet another make-or-break season. The Sabres opened against two teams that missed the playoffs last year, and dropped both games by a combined score of 7-1. Mix in a major long-term injury, and … yeah. Sabres hockey, feel the excitement.
