It is nearly impossible to judge a hockey team right out of the gate, particularly in a league like the NHL, and especially a team like the Buffalo Sabres who have seen massive organizational changes in each of the past five years. Currently sitting with a 5-4-2 record, and having won four of their last five games, the blue and gold seem to be finally be off to a good start, and are putting themselves in position to be competitive all season.
After years of slow October starts, things have already begun to change and it seems like there is a winning attitude surrounding the team this year.
