There’s no denying that last night didn’t go as planned for the Buffalo Sabres. It was sloppy, disappointing and showed concerning signs of the same type of hockey we watched for the most part last season.
There’s a variety of reasons you can point to as to why last night unfolded as it did. At the end of the day they looked like a hockey club that has not played a lot or at all together.
Well, turns out that’s actually the case.
The Sabres added eight new faces to the opening night lineup that were not on the roster to start last season.
