Sabres' Game 7 Loss Fits a Brutal NHL Pattern
The Sabres’ latest Game 7 heartbreak lands in a painful hockey tradition that every fan base thinks belongs only to someone else. Playoff losses like this do not just sting in the moment, because they tend to follow a team into every spring conversation afterward. Buffalo’s defeat gets put in a wider NHL context here, and that context is not exactly comforting for anyone in the room. The story is less about one night than the long shadow it leaves behind.
