If this were the NFL, the Buffalo Sabres defense would have been dominant during the last 3 games. During that span, Buffalo has surrendered just one touchdown in each game, with only the Hurricanes failing to convert the extra point. As a result, most eyes, and rightfully so, have turned to the woeful goaltending and porous defense that is knocking Buffalo out of games early and often.
While I wholeheartedly agree with the aforementioned issues, my primary gripe is actually aimed at something else. Something that is way more controllable, even for a seemingly overmatched hockey club such as the Sabres.
