Could 2010 Be the Buffalo Sabres’ Year?

Posted on Mar 31, 2010 under nhl |

 

The Buffalo Sabres have made 28 playoff appearances in their franchise’s history, but have never come away with Lord Stanley’s Cup. Upstate New York has long been a hotbed for the sport of hockey in America. Center Tim Connolly, who hails from Syracuse, NY, has been the creative force in the Sabres’ attack all season, notching 48 assists this season. The Sabres are currently sitting in the third spot in the Eastern Conference and have been picking up steam the last half of the season. Much of the credit is due to the out-of-this-world goalkeeping of Ryan Miller. The 29-year-old keeper out of Lansing, MI earned himself the right to be called the world’s best goalkeeper at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. A deep Stanley Cup run for the Sabres would only sweet what has already been an amazing year for Miller. The Sabres and the city of Buffalo deserve a Stanley Cup for being such solid support hockey in the United States. This year the Sabres have a shot and that might be all they need.
