I wasn't busting stones when I dubbed this DET-CHI-WIN-STL bender as:
"Hell Week".
This has been the hockey week from Hell. The Sabres have been outscored 11-2 in the past two games against two of the best teams in the NHL. The fan base is up in arms. Mr. Pegula is getting an up close and personal view of the ineptitude and chaos while he has been on the road with his team.
This team needs a win in the worst way.
For now, there is no help on the way in the form of a player trade. The players crashed the metaphorical bus, now its time for each and every guy to get out, roll up his sleeves, get his feet and hands dirty while pushing together to free the fuselage from the mud.
