Olympics
Harrington: Sabres, NHL Grind as USA Partys On

While Team USA basks in post-Olympic parties, Mike Harrington reminds the Sabres and league to snap back to the daily grind. Buffalo's front office eyes the standings with 25 games left, knowing Olympic hangovers kill contenders. Harrington nails the tension: medals shine, but points win Cups.
