Sabres can't score

With NHL Center Ice, I've been able to watch more Sabres games than ever, and it's awesome to even be able to watch. BUT, the Sabres have been playing really badly to start the year. They can muster no offense, especially not on the power play. This has been an issue since about 2006, and yet the team has found no way to fix it. Every player tries to do some dipsy doodle fancy play to get on Sportscenter, and it never works. They could just focus on doing it right, but instead they get all fancy and mess up. This basically applies to our regular offense as well. Miller and the defense are playing well, though, besides bad showings against the Rangers and Blackhawks. The Sabres can't expect to have Miller be on fire every night- they need to support him. If the team can muster up some kind of offensive effort, they'd be dangerous. But right now, they're just a scrappy team that will win a lot of 2-1, 1-0, overtime/shootout wins.

P.S. Tyler Ennis is really good, thankfully.
