This is going to be like this for the rest of the season! Strap in.  Here it comes….one or two losses can drop you all the way out of the playoffs in the blink of an eye. Winning is all that matters. Scoreboard watching will drive you insane.

The Buffalo Sabres did  what they have been doing since they have been hurt by injuries to their blue line. They give you the perimeter and take away the center of the ice. But that doesn’t explain or account for the lack of execution on the power play. It has been painful to watch for the last few games.

Frankly, it has cost them the last two games. It won’t get any easier with back to back games out on the road to Nashville and Detroit this week. But listen to what the coach had to say. He is still encouraged by
the overall effiort.

We’ll see you on Fox Sports Arizona Tuesday and Wednesday night. And, be sure to stay tuned to the intermission segments on Wednesday from Joe Louis Arena as NHL Commish Gary Bettman will call in. It’s an important moment in the history of the franchise as he will address the financial situation of the Phoenix Coyotes.
