Upcoming Sabres Season Reasons for Optimism

In 2006, around the time the Buffalo Sabres were a regular playoff contending team, a Chicago Cubs documentary came out called Wait ‘Til Next Year. The movie chronicled the saga of a perennial losing Major League Baseball franchise. Every opening day each season, the team’s long-suffering loyal fans dutifully trooped out to Wrigley Field, said to themselves “this could be the year” and were inevitably disappointed.

Eventually, however, the team turned things around. The Cubs finally won a World Series in 2016, which ended a 71-year National League pennant drought and an 108-year World Series drought, the longest in MLB history.
