The Stanley Cup Playoffs are here once again and, yeah, the Buffalo Sabres are not in them. It’s been 11 straight seasons without a whiff of the postseason in Western New York and while that’s a bummer, at least there are plenty of guys who used to wear blue (navy and royal!) and gold. Whether you choose to root against them or hope they’re carrying Lord Stanley’s cup at the end is your call to make. Hey, at least Vegas isn’t there, huh, hmm?
We know the main thing to happen is everyone shuts off the TV and ignores the playoffs when their team isn’t involved but let’s be real here: no one is doing that in Buffalo, at least based on the ratings anyhow.
