Are you a Buffalo Sabre? Does this 14-game losing streak have you feeling hopele s? There's a light at the end of the tunnel; just listen to your coach!

If Carlos Martinez Jersey that fails, there's no shame in begging. Send letters. Make phonecalls. Set up a GoFundMe. Do whatever it takes just get out of there alive. You haven't won in regulation sinceDec. 11.
Presumably, Nolan who has an almost unfathomably difficult job, as far as hockey is concerned is talking about guys like Tyler Myers, Drew Stafford and Josh Gorges, who have turned into rumor-mill staples.
And yes, things are that bad for the Sabres; they could set the NHL record for consecutive lo ses, 18, by Sunday. Theirnext four games are against the Canadiens Paul Goldschmidt Jersey ,Blues, Stars, and Islanders. Among those, only Chris Beck Jersey Dallas isn't a current playoff team.
Seriously, the Sabres are the worst team in the league by a mile. Operation Tank is a succe s. Things got hairy in December, but we're back on track. To wit:
They're scoring the fewest goals per game in the league, at 1.76. Carolina is 29th at 2.08.
Their non-shootout goal differential is minus-90; Arizona is 29th at minus-53.
No team takes le s (22.9) or allows more (35.0)shots.
They take 36.8 percent of all shot attempts at 5-on-5. Harrison Bader Jersey That is, you gue sed it, the worst mark in the league.
They have the worst power play (11.4 percent) in the league, and the second-worst penalty kill (73.7 percent).
We could do this all day. Congratulations to Paul DeJong Jersey those who play their way out. For those who do not, there are 32 games left. God ble s them all.
