Game #24 Preview & Open Thread: Sabres vs Devils

Last Game: 3-2 OT win at home against St Louis Blues

Every time the Sabres have been at a position where they are at .500 and are looking to own a winning record, they find some way to lose and drop down again. This is not new to this season, and even with a rotating cast of faces, somehow this franchise just cannot shed this pall of doom having over it.

This afternoon against the best team in the Eastern Conference, Buffalo will once again attempt to draw themselves level to a .500 standing after laying an egg in Pittsburgh on Wednesday, but one can’t help but feel that their biggest enemy is within their own heads. The Sabres are just as likely to put together a composite game and dismantle the Devils today as they are to still be asleep from yesterday’s turkey adventures and get shellacked. That is after all the hallmark of a .500 team.
