You know you’re a fan of Buffalo sports when success is met with skepticism. For good reason to, there were the 5-1 Buffalo Bills in 2008 that went 6-10, the first place Buffalo Sabres last season that finished the year with the 3rd worst record in the league and numerous other Buffalo teams that have let their fans down. So when you meet a Buffalonian who still isn’t sold on the Sabres or Bills this year, don’t judge them, understand it comes from years of hurt and disappointment.
Still, this Sabres team just feels different. This year truly feels like a new era for the Sabres.
