The Buffalo Sabres are currently riding a two-game shootout losing streak, so I can head everyone off at the pass by saying I only have One Way To Not Blow The Game tonight: don’t go to a shootout!
I spoke about Buffalo’s woes in the shootout and how to fix them already today, so I won’t beat a dead horse here. Everyone already knows the Sabres don’t want to let this thing go 65 minutes, so the question is, can the Sabres give fans a full 60 minutes of hockey tonight?
It’s entirely possible that Buffalo could be riding a four-game winning streak right now if the boys could play three periods of solid hockey.
