What is wrong with the Sabres? Most thought they would be a powerhouse this year. In need of a coaching change? Thoughts?

@Steve
Just glancing through some numbers, Miller needs to be a little better, and their defense corps looks pretty awful as a whole. Leopold has been his usual brutal self, and Myers has been brutal this year also.
They are also 26th in the league in minor penalties taken, so they spend way too much time on the PK. Their PP% is also kinda bad at 13.6%.
I think Buffalo will have some of these stats even out and they’ll start winning games.
