It was December 2018.
The St. Louis Blues had hit rock bottom.
But the good thing about rock bottom is that there’s nowhere to go but up.
And for the Blues that year, they went all the way up.
The Buffalo Sabres are 1-3 to start the season.
They haven’t made the playoffs since 2011, and haven’t won a playoff series since 2007.
So why not take a page out of the Blues' playbook?
Clearly it worked for them, so maybe there’s a chance it works for the Sabres too.
Not the best fight in the world, but at least it’s something to get the boys going.
Either way, I think this is a win-win for Rasmus Dahlin.
Seems pretty good to me no matter which way you slice it.
The Sabres don’t play again until Wednesday night against the Penguins.
It should be pretty easy to see which way this thing is going to go after that game.
0-3 to start the season, and they haven’t even been close.
Outscored 15-3 in those 3 games.
