GASabresIUFAN Posted May 4 Author Report Posted May 4 https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7251739/2026/05/04/sabres-canadiens-2026-nhl-stanley-cup-playoffs-preview/ Quote Prediction This could be the start of an entertaining rivalry between the two rising teams in the Atlantic Division who haven’t met in a playoff series since the late ’90s. Buffalo was the more complete team during the regular season, with a more reliable blue line, but the Canadiens are an opportunistic bunch with clutch scorers and have come through in big spots. If the Sabres continue to get solid goaltending, they should have enough of an edge elsewhere to handle what could be a memorable, back-and-forth series.- Sabres in 6. Quote
