12

February has been a charm for the Buffalo Sabres, as they have picked up 10 out of a possible 12 points. For anyone aware of how close the Eastern Conference teams are, every point counts for much more than usual. Last night was another spectacular win, played all the way through with all the passion and determination that we have been looking for. Furthermore, Thomas Vanek came alive to be rewarded with his first career hat trick! A lot of controversy has been surrounding him this season, due to the infamous contract of 2007. I have been one to criticize his play and wonder whether or not he would be able to like up to the expectations. It is undeniable that he has struggled, but I am a lot more confident with him on the ice these days. Every Buffalo Sabre has struggled at one point this season, and it is important to recognize the positive aspects. This team is fighting for every play, and playing with a renewed vigor. The playoffs are still some time off, and I prefer to focus on the present, but things are clearly looking up for the Sabres!

The team’s next game is on Wednesday, February 13th, at 7:30 PM against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Keep an eye out: This is another crucial game where Buffalo must make their presence known very early on.
