All season long, the Buffalo Sabres have been such a hard team to judge.
Has the onslaught of injuries to key players derailed an otherwise promising team, or is this a team whose depth is too thin to overcome such injuries? Do they let in goals at unfortunate times because they have weak goaltenders or because they have a weak defense that can’t clear the puck? How many times has their penalty kill been this close to killing it off, only to have a bad bounce or pass sink them?
Tonight was another example of the enigmatic team that is the Sabres, and it left many of us fans scratching our heads in defeat.
