Part genetics, part on the way you take care of yourself.

Get a goaltender that can at least be league average.

UPL played so bad that they should have removed him and tried Reimer since they only could have done better

Technically 9, but it's definitely aggravating, especially since we have a better goal differential than Montreal.

The key question is, have the Sabres finally figured out how to play the way Ruff wants and is this what we can expect of them going forward?

If we didn't bench UPL 30 games too late...

If they didn't wait 30 games too long to bench UPL they would be in the playoffs.

Let me guess...just like all their wins against good teams fighting for playoff position, the Sabres only won because they weren't trying.

Sabres have beaten many of the best teams in the NHL over the past few weeks. Motivated or not, if they keep playing the way they have been, they can beat them.

Sabres now have 3 more goals scored than the Leafs, who lead the division, in the same amount of games played. Problem is, they've also allowed 47 more goals as well.

Tuch might be the best interceptor of passes along the blue line I have ever seen for a forward.

This team is an offensive Juggernaut...just need to share up their goaltending and D play.

True enough but the main point is that if Gretzky wanted to score a lot more goals, he easily could have, but his main talent was creating for others to score.

UPL doesn't get the benefit of the doubt on anything anymore. He has shown that he doesn't deserve it and his constant being in the wrong position on goals that shouldn't be goals has worn thin. Essentially, if he wants to get the benefit of the doubt more then have a save percentage that warrants it.

What's crazy is that Gretzky while he scored a ton of goals wasn't really known for that ..he was more known for his setting teammates up for goals as his over 1960 assists show... In fact, Gretzky has more assists than the 2nd player on the career points list has points (Jagr with 1921). That's absurd... So while it's great that Ovechkin broke the record, if Gretzky actually wanted to score 1300 goals, he easily could have which would have put the record out of reach for all eternity...but he did that with the assists record instead.
