I hate being another cog in the wheel to propagate and perpetuate our cycle of Buffalo misery, but I tried very hard to find positives in tonight's game as the Buffalo Sabres hosted the Florida Panthers. How many more years do we, as fans, have to get excited about draft picks and off-season acquisitions, only to watch the on-ice product materialize into waste only one month into the season?
It may feel like we are well into the season, but it really only has been one month. It has taken that small amount of time for us to realize that we are not watching a playoff-caliber team.
