well possibly the final straw for the Sabres for a few reasons, in a close loss to a strong Sens team. Despite having some games in hand, the gap is getting wider on a playoff spot and we still have some tough stretches including 5 games in 5 nights coming up so I don't see us gaining much ground. In addition we lose Lupul to injury today; after losing Steen last game two of our top 3 scorers are on the shelf. wouldnt' be wise to overpay to replace them, so look to Sabres to reassess and look to move some of their older bodies in the coming days
