‘Buffalo finished its season strong, with plenty of quality wins over top competition. But you see how far the Blue and Gold have to go to reach an elite level when you consider their recent past against the Cup finalists: In the last seven games against Colorado, Buffalo is 0-7 and has been outscored, 32-12. In the last 10 meetings with Tampa Bay, the Sabres are 1-8-1 and have been outscored, 43-25.’
