Sabres good, bad, and ugly from Prague sweep
The Devils took both games against Buffalo and fans' nerves are frayed
I wanted to give the Buffalo Sabres’ opening weekend series in Prague, Czechia against the New Jersey Devils a couple days to breathe for a few reasons.
It’s easy to have snap reactions to any game and sometimes that’s not for the best. It’s easy to get swept up in the overwhelming emotions of the fans afterwards, particularly in a game I’m not there in person to cover. That’s a lot of noise to cloud the thoughts, not that the noise is wrong, mind you.
The Sabres dropped both games against the Devils by 4-1 and 3-1 decisions and, yeah, the reactions were less than good, and some of that for very good reason.
Now that we’ve had a couple days to digest it, we’re breaking this down by what was good to see, what was bad, and what just didn’t look right at all for the Sabres during their European jaunt.
