That has a nice ring to it…. but it’s not quite good enough. How about “#1 playoff seed in the East” Buffalo Sabres? Yeah, that’s even better.
The road to the Stanley Cup goes through Buffalo this year, at least for the East. Toronto, Montreal, Tampa, I don’t care who it is we face in the first round. Bring it on. We’re ready for you.
“Stanley Cup champion Buffalo Sabres” will sound the best of all.
