Episode Breakdown
- The Sabres are struggling with injury. Rivet, Peters, Kaleta, and Connolly all sat out with injuries. Mike Weber was recalled (but didn’t play) from Portland in case Lydman couldn’t play.
- The Sabres are in a bad slump and are struggling to work their way out. Lindy’s “Fresh Start” approach didn’t have the positive affect that he had hoped and the Sabres’ lack of scoring continued.
- The Sabres struggles can be broken down into three topics: motivation, chemistry, and confidence. We discuss them all.
