Observation 1 | Where Are The Goals?
Buffalo’s return from the league-imposed Covid protocols has been an ugly one.
Offensively, the Sabres have been nothing short of offensive. Lines look disjointed, players look slow, out of place and some are just downright lost on the ice.
With the accelerated season in full swing, and Buffalo playing a large amount of games in a short amount of time, there is next to no time to sit and sulk while trying to figure out their offensive problems.
