'The discussion at the Sabres' practice may be animated, too, but to hear the comments from Ruff, Briere and others, you realize that this is a team that won't overreact. The Sabres believe they are the better team. Their plight in this series is similar to what the 1994 Rangers faced when they won the Cup. Facing a Vancouver team that wasn't nearly as deep and talented, New York built a 3-1 series lead only to face a seventh game. The Rangers hadn't won a title in 54 years, which created an extra burden on a franchise that had a number of close calls in the interim. Those Rangers didn't panic. These Sabres, who are carrying the weight of their city's sporting frustrations on their shoulders, likely won't, either.'
