In the National Hockey League, nothing is guaranteed. Teams and players can make a big jump in development while others can fall off drastically.
The Buffalo Sabres were looking to snap their decade-long playoff drought during the 2021-2022 season.
It’s been one year since Don Granato took the reins as Head Coach of the Buffalo Sabres. After years and years of coaching uncertainty (and genuine heartache), it certainly seems as though the Sabres finally have their man.
The Buffalo Sabres have not seen the post-season in hockey since 2011, where they lost to the Philadelphia Flyers in the Quarterfinals in seven games. Since then, it has been one disappointing season after another. They finished last season with 76 points, but they started the season surprising everyone, with a record of 17 wins, 7 losses, and 3 overtime losses to finish out November and stayed at over 50% wins until the end of January. Let’s take a look at what they did in the offseason, and if their hope for their club making a playoff appearance will pay off.
