I’ve been following the NHL for forever and I’ve understood in some sense that for the past decade the sabres are where dreams go to die, but I don’t think that ever sunk in for me as much as it did last night watching how sad their first-rounder looked after being picked. Maybe I’m a dumbass and it’s just how he normally looks but I can’t ever remember getting that bad an impression from an NHL pick’s facial expressions and body language after being drafted.
On the flip side imagine knowing you’re going to be drafted in the NHL first round, the sabres are up and there’s a decent chance they take you, and then you dodge that bullet and the very next pick has you boarding a helicopter to fly to disneyland.
