Sabres Can Establish Their Identity This Week

from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,
There are windows in a long NHL season that provide you with a nice barometer of what a team may be all about.
I think we have that this week with the Buffalo Sabres. Three home dates and three contenders in town in New Jersey, Washington and Chicago.
To me, at the end of that three-game set, we might know a little more about this Sabres team, which wants to belong with those elite squads.
Problem is, Sabres coach Lindy Ruff was having none of my theory when I put it to him Tuesday after practice. He didn’t see any difference from these games this week than any others on the schedule.
“You point to a game on the calendar that’s going to be easy for me and we’ll skip these games,” said Ruff. “There are no easy games. This league is so tight, the parity is so good, if you don’t put the work in and go the little bit extra, you’re not going to win. It’s as simple as that. It really is that close.”
