last season the would have gone to the cup if they could have stayed healthy. just look how far they did get unfortunately the cup goes to the team that has the best players in uniform for the finals By the time the got that far they had lost too many defensive players . this year will be the same thing the team with the healthy players at the end will play for the cup. this year is no surprise they had the right team last year and may have improved it deep enough to survive a few injured players. time will tell
as for the most wins record it was set with real wins the sabres have three shoot out wins that would have just been ties in the past

A win is still a win, GrandpaBob. You say years ago they would've been just ties, but I say this isn't years ago. This is the new NHL. Riven, your hometeam is 9-0. That is the only stat that counts. This team is a bunch of winners. Period. Personally, I am very impressed by this organization.
This is the best team in the league. They can continuously run out effective lines, seemingly unfazed by injuries.
Go Sabres! or should I say Keep going Sabres!!

Love the Sabres!
Last nights game was very bad. No legs!
If they could put a full 60 minutes into the game they would be awesome. I am not criticizing their record, I am saying that they play hard maybe 40 minutes a game, instead of the whole game. It is a long season! Been there since game #1 and all I want is a Stanley Cup.

That was one hell of a game. Both teams were skating, passing, shooting, and saving(yeah, I know, 7-4, but there were some incredible saves) like mad. A very good game for the sport of hockey.
That wasent a good game. The leafs blow. Despite consecutive five-on-three power plays, which Toronto converted to open the game with a 2-0 lead, the Sabres skated their way to a 7-4 victory. The game was good for the first 20 minutes.

Then 'twas the Roman, now 'tis I.

Regarding the Sabres recent success:
1. It's only the 1st quarter of a long season. Allot can happen from now until the playoffs.
2. Having the best regular season record in the league doesn't guarantee success in the playoffs. (only 6 out of 20 President's Trophy winners went on to win the Stanley Cup)
3. The only advantage to having a better regular season record then your playoff opponent is that you get one extra game at home and that only comes into play if the series goes to a fifth/seventh game.
That said...it's still a fun ride.
The difference between taxes and robbery is the mode of coercion.
Duh, numbers one (Really? Alot can happen?) and two, (Really? Regular season wins don't count toward playoff record?) I was totally unaware of. Thanks for posting that information.Originally Posted by NoCtUrNaL
