"In some ways, it was a typical Buffalo Sabres (43-29-10, 96 points) season: Solid goaltending, some welcome surprises offensively and a significant number of games lost to injury (Drew Stafford(notes) missed 20; Derek Roy(notes) missed 47). The Sabres made the playoffs, and were eliminated by the Philadelphia Flyers in pesky seven-game series.

 

Yet at the same time, it was anything but a typical year for the franchise. Terry Pegula, a billionaire and a Sabres fan, purchased the team and vowed to bring a championship to Buffalo. Which isn't all that common for Buffalo. Neither is opening up the bank account and spending to the cap, which is what the Sabres did under Pegula this summer.

 

Will the new additions turn the Sabres from playoff contenders into a championship team?"

I don't get all the goofy graphics and ######, but he does seem to think the Sabres have a chance, especially with Ryan Miller. Not that that means anything... but at least some people other than us Sabres fans can agree that the Sabres are legitimate contenders for the eastern conference...it reassures me and gives me confidence!
