Good omen for the Sabres: Home teams are just 2-8 in Game Seven the last two seasons -- and they went 0-4 last season as Washington fell to Montreal, Phoenix fell to Detroit, Pittsburgh fell to Montreal and Boston fell to Philadelphia.
Bad omen for the Sabres: They have a much poorer Game Seven record in their history than the Flyers. Check out the Game Seven results:
