The past week has been pretty difficult for the Sabres, as they continue their trend of outright losing or taking the wrong end of a shootout. The good news is that of the 5 games played in the new year, three have resulted in one point. The margins have not been terrible, either: Buffalo has not been shut out since December 29th! I have been sad to see the team struggle, yet they are still pushing forward. Jocelyn Thibault illustrated that he could carry the team to at least a point, and the defense has had moments of brilliance. Concern, at least for myself, has shifted towards the offense. Scoring  a goal seems to be a very difficult task, even though the Buffalo Sabres are a team gifted with talent. As a die-hard fan, I find myself looking away from time to time and expecting the worst. All in all, though, this team is starting to come together, and a win can not be far off!

The Sabres play tonight against the New Jersey Devils… A team that has been part of the woefullness of 2008, yet also a team that is beatable. With the right skills at the right time, this could be that night we have all been waiting for!
