NHL Power Rankings Shock: Early Surprises That Turned the Season Upside Down
25. Buffalo Sabres, 1-3-0
Sean: 28
Dom: 22
WRONG: A vague expression of optimism.
It did not take long for a summer of optimistic Sabres’ takes to dissipate after a difficult 0-3-0 start. An emphatic 8-4 win has softened the blow a bit — especially with Zach Benson and his four assists back in the lineup — and the Sabres are missing key pieces on defense. Still, the vibes in Buffalo remain rancid. It doesn’t matter if things look OK on paper if that paper lives in an environment ready to make it crumble.
