The Buffalo Sabres are on a roll. With a six-game winning streak, putting them back into the thick of a very tight Eastern Conference race, and a new general manager in place, perhaps it’s time to start thinking good things for the Sabres' future.

The new Buffalo Sabres ' GM, Jarmo Kekalainen, is not playing around. He has already brought in new people around him, such as Mark Bergevin as the assistant GM. After these changes, the roster or even the head coach is going to see changes as well as he thinks the Sabres can make the playoffs. Buffalo has won five games in a row, are two games over .500, and sit five points back of a playoff spot with a game in hand.

There's a new standard in Buffalo and the Sabres want to be 'special'. The team introduced newly minted general manager Jarmo Kekalainen to the media on Tuesday, and he's already turning some heads with some of his quotes. Kekalainen appears quite confident he'll be able to turn the team around in short order, and feels he'll be able to get them into a better place. It's great to make the playoffs, but we're not just here to make the playoffs, we're here to try to build a championship team. Wi...

It's been nothing but disappointing season after disappointing season, and ownership, and more importantly their fan base, had seen enough.

Expect to see him get to work soon after the holiday roster freeze. There's going to be ...
