Today I Learned That if Every Sabres Goal Scored Counted as Two, They’d Still be 5 Games Under .500 in Their Last 17

Crazy stat of the night:

If every #Sabres goal was worth TWO (instead of one) Buffalo would still be FIVE GAMES UNDER .500 in their last 17 games (6-11).

I genuinely feel bad for the fans and players of the Buffalo Sabres.

I mean, what do you even do if you’re a Sabres fan? Your stud center is going to miss the foreseeable future on top of all of the other rumors coming out of the woodwork. You’re hoping that the current state of affairs doesn’t ruin your highly drafted, should be a top pairing defenseman, Rasmus Dahlin. Your head coach is having media pissing matches with a guy you signed for 9 million dollars who is now playing on the fourth line. When I think that I’m having a tough time as a Rangers fan, all I have to do is look 5 hours west to Buffalo to help me realize it’s not all that bad.

Hey, at least you have the Bills, right?
