In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.
What happened
The Sabres swept a California road trip, and the misery index fell from 88 to 39 like it owed someone money. A 2-0 shutout in San Jose came with a fan noting the team was "actually playing with that lead," a novel concept. The 7-6 win in Anaheim was the turning point, powered by the "best 2nd period of the season by a lot." A 3-2 win in Los Angeles sealed it, with fans pleading "Keep Ellis in net." Buffalo, briefly, is content; history suggests enjoying it quickly.
