We'll see how long the "confidence" they been playing with sticks around. Last night's game was certainly a "find a way to lose" kinda thing. String another couple of those type games together and all the sudden you have a team in a funk with almost no way to climb out of it.
The biggest thing against us right now is the schedule. We still have have 2 with Toronto, 2 with Arizona, Columbus, New Jersey, and Carolina on the docket. Getting through last night without a point was good. Edmonton played really well last night against the Blackhawks.
I agree with the other people in this thread who say the Sabres are the worst team. Arizona and Edmonton are much better than their records. If either of them had Neuvirth or Enroth for any length of time, this race would be over. I still think back to the streak we had early in the season and wish we'd have just lost 2 or 3 of those games because if we'd pretty much just be hoping we got McDavid because the Eichel guarantee would already be sewn up.
