Obviously not literally......but it kind of feels that way.
This Sabres team that looked to have found themselves last week in wins over the Canadiens and Coyotes has looked nothing like a playoff team in the last two outings. They've fallen to four points out of eighth place, currently held by tonight's opponent, the Florida Panthers. And with each of the teams ahead of them in action tonight, two points
in regulation is crucial to make up ground on Florida, while not falling any further behind the others should the out of town scoreboard be as unfriendly as it was over the weekend.
Can the Sabres actually show up and look interested tonight? If not, it might be time to start unpacking the golf clubs..............
