They are 2-1 against your Sabres (2 games in Buffalo), 2-2 against Philly, 1-1 against Ottawa. Not too bad for a team who supposedly stinks...
BTW, the Sabres are 1-3 against Ottawa...So, does that mean the Sabres can't beat them in a playoff series? Absolutely not.
Look how the Devils did when Elias came back. They only won 9 in a row. he should be back in a week or two hopefully. He is their spark.
BTW, when was that last cup win?
