Spandrel Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/writ...s1.2/index.html To quote: "It could be a long season for the Sabres, who lost Miroslav Satan and Alexei Zhitnik to free agency. But at least the club re-signed restricted free agents Daniel Briere, Maxim Afinogenov and J.P. Dumont. But the pressure of being the go-to goal scorer now falls on 21-year-old rookie Thomas Vanek, who had eight points this preseason. "He's [Vanek] probably the most all-around gifted player I've been around," said coach Lindy Ruff." I guess by "long season", he meant Eastern Conference finals. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres30 Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I remember reading countless stories at the beginning of the season that said the Sabres wouldnt even make the playoffs, now 7 months later we are off to the Eastern Conference Finals! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 This guy is a bonehead with his predictions. NYR and Carolina ranked below Buffalo. Both were/are playoff teams. Eff this guy and SI's hockey dept. Granted Carolina isn't there yet, but preseason, THN had Buffalo and Carolina in the bottom 4 in the conference. Ooops. (I only had Carolina there.
