Boo!
No, that’s not the sound of the Buffalo crowd. Not yet, at least. It’s Halloween, and the only thing scarier than the Sabres drafting first overall again is watching the Red Wings lose the lottery for the millionth time.
The Red Wings and Sabres are in very similar situations. Both have a core of young forwards that are slowly adjusting to bigger roles. Both feature new free agent signees who have breathed new life into the team. To top things off, both have managed to stay afloat in a highly competitive Atlantic Division. Oh, and neither team dressed up for Halloween.
