| Lots of reasons why the Sabres went from the Presidents' Trophy penthouse to the outhouse in just one season, but one that stands out was their problem winning in their own building, particularly during the last month. |

| Buffalo stayed alive by beating Boston in overtime, but just barely. The Sabres would be in better shape if goalie Ryan Miller had been better or if Maxim Afinogenov had more than 10 goals. |
| 03/24/2008 | 18 | 15 |
| They have been getting lots of offense lately, just not from the power play. Buffalo has just six goals in 48 tries with the man advantage over the past nine games. |
| 03/17/2008 | 15 | 18 |
| The blue line is in tatters, and Ryan Miller has struggled lately, but this team showed over the weekend that its offense can still explode, which means it can't be counted out just yet. |
| 03/10/2008 | 18 | 18 |
| Thomas Vanek has just one goal in his last eight games after a red-hot Februrary where he scored an NHL-high 13 goals. He was benched for much of Saturday’s game against Carolina. |
| 03/03/2008 | 18 | 15 |
| The playoff hopes are starting to fade, but Jason Pominville is staying hot. He has eight goals and 13 assists in 17 games since the All-Star break. |
| 02/25/2008 | 15 | 11 |
| Ales Kotalik, who went more than a month without scoring a goal, has four in his past two games. |
| 02/18/2008 | 11 | 14 |
| A little cold water hit them in the face over the weekend, but Thomas Vanek is hot now, with nine goals in his past 10 games after scoring 13 in the first 50. |
| 02/11/2008 | 14 | 26 |
| Big jump this week for Buffalo, but the Sabres are skating the way they can and have gone 5-0-2 since the All-Star break. |
| 02/04/2008 | 26 | 25 |
| Winning only once in 13 games just before the All-Star break should have knocked Buffalo out of the playoff race but it didn't because the Sabres are 3-0-1 in their past four. |
