The Sabers are the kings of the ice.
Yes, the same team that started the season with a franchise-record 12 game winning streak, including an new NHL record 8 consecutive road wins to start a season.
The Sabers, and I will bet that the average hockey fan can not name a star player from their team, because they are a TEAM.
Three Buffalo Sabres were voted by fans to be starters at the 2007 NHL All-Star Game in Dallas: goalie Ryan Miller, forward Daniel Briere, and defenseman Brian Campbell. Briere won the All-Star MVP Award, tallying 1 goal and 4 assists. Lindy Ruff was the head coach for the Eastern Conference, who lost the game 12-9.
And of all team who do the Sabers get in the first round, The New York Islanders, coached by none other than Ted Nolan. Yes the same Ted Nolan who once coached the Sabers to the playoffs following the 1994-1995 season.
I predict this series to be good, however the Sabers have too much speed and offense, not to mention great defense for the Islanders.
