Excellent point and after the Sabres/Sens game was over I had a similar thought to this...Sabres have been searching for the "next Hasek" since Dom left and in my eyes that officially happened when Miller outdueled Hasek that night.
As for the Sabres...I think Darcy had a good plan, but I also think he has had a bit of luck along the way..he really did gamble this year, a year after losing an entire season, he banked on his team being a playoff team without winning really ANY fans over in the summer.did not bring in anyone besides Numminen...if this "gamble" backfired on him, Sabres would be getting 10,000 a night and Darcy would be on the way out.
Turns out he was dealt a winning hand up to this point/
