Evidently the Buffalo hockey team, the Sabres (im told) start their season tonight. So lets write a short preview.
For some reason they just gave their head coach and general manager contract extensions. Don Granato, career loser, isnt disliked by the fanbase (if you can say th3 Sabres have one) but might actually be beloved. Because he isnt Phil Housley or the soccer idiot (Ralph "disaster" Krueger) I suppose. Kevyn Adams was widely panned as the GM when he was hired but has gotten some earned respect by not being Tim Murray (and not getting completely pantsed in the Eichel debacle).
But hey, Pegula is off pretending to be a successful NFL owner and his wife is still filming weekend at Bernie's 3. So why not reward these dudes for being not-the-last-guy embarrassing. I mean they did finish 11th in the Eastern Conference and 25 points out of a playoff spot (only 22 points out if they were in the West). Improvement!
Theyre +475 to make the playoffs, their over under pt total is 76.5. +2500 to win the division. Vegas aint buying it.
Everyone and their brother in the media is pretending to be positive, picking over point total but not to make the playoffs. Cute
Dahlin and Power need to be world beaters and this team of all 3rd line players needs them mostly all to play as 2nd line players. If that happens, id predict 76 points.
The goalies still suck
