Dear Buffalo Sabres:
Why can’t you play like that every night?
Was it because it was the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins in town? Did looking across the ice during warm ups at the most recent team to lift Lord Stanley’s Cup suddenly make you realize that you had a goal in mind when the 2016-17 season started?
Or did you all finally get sick of being made to sleep on the couch by your wives or significant others?
Whatever the case may be, you guys did three remarkable thing tonight, with a roster that was more Buffalo Americans than Buffalo Sabres:
- You won a game.
