In this article from Scott Burnside writing for ESPN.com, he previews the Buffalo/Ottawa Eastern Conference NHL Finals.
Burnside does a great job of breaking down the series as well five points in the series and a key matchup.
In another story Burnside talks about the younger players for Buffalo and asks if they are up for the challenge of the Senators and the conference finals.

Sabers Clinch Home Ice Through Playoffs
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.
