Pinch yourselves, Buffalo Sabres fans.
Go ahead – give yourselves a little pinch, just to make sure you are not dreaming – because you’re not: the Buffalo Sabres REALLY are in first place in the entire NHL today.
Given how quickly the Sabres went from hot to not during the 2018-19 NHL season, it is surreal to see this team in possession of the most points, best win percentage, and best goal differential ten games into the 2019-20 season. Whether new coach Ralph Krueger, general manager Jason Botterill, or the players themselves get the lionshare of the credit for this hot start, we’ll leave that for you to decide right now!
