Sabres’ rebuild is still going nowhere
For about three weeks back in November the Buffalo Sabres had their fans fooled.
It was then that they went on an improbable 10-game win streak to record their best start in years and finally show some signs that their perpetual rebuild was going to produce a positive result.
This was going to be the year that all of the waiting, losing, and disappointment was going to be worth it.
The only thing that could undo it at that point was an epic failure on behalf of the entire team.
More than three months later it has become abundantly clear that the epic failure has happened. Given where the Sabres are coming from, should any of it be a surprise?
The whole thing was a mirage, a total fluke, and nothing more than a temporary and all too brief break from the miserable run of irrelevance that has plagued the Sabres organization for the better part of a decade.
