The Sabres fail to record a shot on goal in the third period at the Corel Centre in Ottawa. Naturally, it's a franchise low for fewest shots in one period, tying a mark set in February 1981 in Montreal. Despite only 15 shots for the game, the Sabres tie the Senators at 1 thanks to 38 saves by Dominik Hasek.

Hasek was just unreal during his time as a Sabre. It's a shame that the Sabres couldn't build a team around him, that could have won 1 cup if not more.

It's tough to say the Sabres didn't build a pretty good team around him. Not to dredge up an old debate, but it wasn't just a matter of Dom carrying the Sabres to the finals by himself. But you're right -- a piece here, a piece there, some more offense, and you have one Cup, if not two. That's why I lean toward adding offense to this team in the offseason. If Miller is as good as I think he's going to be, let's not repeat the same mistake of going into a defensive shell. Light up the scoreboard and let Ryan stand on his head if need be!
