would someone please look up ottawa’s record after 15 games last season? they were pathetic. their whole city was ready to trade alfredsson, said he was washed up and a terrible leader. spezza and heatley didnt start cooking until 25% of the season was gone. realistically, if the sabres have any shot at making another deep playoff run, they need to rid themselves of bad habits early rather than develop them late, like last season.

After 20 games the Sens were 9-10-1.
I’ve been comparing the two teams all year, but when Alfredsson, Heatley and Spezza are on a line together, that is arguably the best line in the NHL. The Sabres don’t have that. BUT, they do have a lot of talent, they just need to get it together.
Better that it’s happening right now than at the end of the season.
