The city is turning things around after a devastating start to the year
The hits just seemed to keep coming for the city of Buffalo and the surrounding regions, not least the horrible injury sustained by Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin last week. The football player is responding well now though and the Bills got back on the field yesterday in an emotion-laden game, crushing the playoff hopes of division rival New England Patriots in somewhat ruthless fashion.
The Buffalo Sabres meanwhile have also been leveraging special teams to maintain their explosive streak which has seen them go 8-2-0 in their last ten games and right into playoff contention as well. Buffalo have a number of games in hand but are about to enter a torrid phase of the schedule that will see them play 13 games in the next 22 days.
