The Buffalo Sabres have been a swirling tire fire this season. The team many believed to be on their way up has fallen apart, players and coaches alike have COVID-19, and they are now mired in their longest losing streak in franchise history with 16 losses in a row. Yes, longer than the 14-game losing streak during the McEichel year of 2014-15. They have the longest losing streak since the ‘05 lockout, and they’re two losses away from matching the longest losing streak in the 21st century set by the ‘03 Penguins.
I should probably circle back to that coronavirus mention.
