I got the idea when thinking about the Hawks as a team and how I would like the Sabres to be built like them. The only word that keeps coming to mind when I think about Chicago is "solid". There really isn't a weakness in any of their lines, they can roll all 4 and play very well, and their d-pairings don't really have one pair that you can pick on. Crawford's playing bad? No worries, Darlings here. Kane out? Crawford and Toews pick it up.  
  
So, here's the idea: For the playoff teams, pick one word to describe them. I figure this way we can see what we want the Sabres to be in the future, and what we don't want them to be.
