While the Las Vegas Golden Knights made NHL history Tuesday by becoming the first expansion team to open a season 3-0, the Buffalo Sabres are once again at the bottom of the standings, about as far away from relevancy as the United States men’s national soccer team.
Yes, the season is only three games old. No, I don’t expect the Golden Knights to finish the regular season in first place in the Pacific Division. And no, I don’t follow soccer, either.
No one needs to panic and demand the heads of Phil Housley, Jason Botterill or anyone else associated with the Buffalo Sabres organization just because the team is 0-2-1 – that would be silly.
