Ottawa has the potential to become the same beast they were last year. They are just having some issues right now and I expect them to start tearing it up, like…now.
The Sabs just played like they were tired. And how could they NOT be? Card has only been seeing like 1 minute/game and Funk played for the first time and got very little ice time- The D is pretty beat. Stafford did have quite a few turnovers, but his aggressiveness is exciting. I thought he actually looked pretty comfortable when he had the puck. Like he wanted it every time he had it.
Bottom line: Sabres were tired, it was another tough road game, they are lacking some key players still, IT WAS ONLY 1 GAME, Miller played amazingly and that Kelly guy on ottawa is uglier than Brindamour.
I’m looking forward to a big rebound against Tampa tonight!
