‘The Sabres have a franchise goalie, a long-serving coach, and regularly raid the NHL bargain basement with success. They don’t do it with big-name free agents and before this season many people wouldn’t have known Tyler Myers from Mike Myers. Adam Mair was declared unworthy by the Leafs almost a decade ago but is part of one of the NHL’s top penalty killing units. Bit players doing small things adding up to big results have moved the Sabres from playoff wannabes to third in the conference.’
