There are a lot of negative things that can be pointed out about the Buffalo Sabres’ 7-2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Friday night.
Rough penalty kills, goals against nearly right off the draw, and a failure to take advantage of valuable power play opportunities are among the various things that can be pointed out as “minuses” for the Buffalo Sabres.
Of course, you have to also take into account that Montreal was bound to be a challenging team to face. The then 7-0, now 8-0 undefeated Habs have struck hard this season.
They’ve now scored 30 goals and allowed just nine goals against in eight games.
