Sabres’ Calgary Dinner Helped Set a New Tone in Buffalo

A dinner in Calgary can sound like a footnote, but in Buffalo it has the feel of one of those small-room moments that can tilt a season. The Sabres are trying to change more than a few line combinations here - they are trying to change the temperature in the room. That kind of shift usually starts with a conversation, not a box score, and this one appears to have mattered. Now the real question is whether Buffalo can keep that cleaner, harder edge once the road trip and the noise kick in.
