Still alive
Unlike "Louie Armstrong" below, I have nothing poetic to say about Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Bruins. The bottom line is that it extends the season to Tuesday night's game at Toronto (wouldn't the Laffs and the folks in Laffland love to put Buffalo out of its misery?)
Kind of odd to look at the Sabres' record against the teams they're chasing because they're 9-3-3 against the trio immediately above them. Buffalo went 3-1 against Washington, 3-0-1 against Philadelphia and is 3-2-2 against Boston with one game left.
Of course, blown two-goal leads, nine shootout losses, a combined 0-6-2 against Pittsburgh and the Rangers and losing in regulation to all four bottom teams in the Western Conference pretty much cancels out all the good things I just cited.
