Last Season, the Buffalo Sabres came within 20 minutes of the Stanley Cup Finals. But an unforseen rash of injuries left the defense a mess and a city and a team wondering what if. But now, with a ton of familiar faces and a few new ones, the Buffalo Sabres head into the 2006-2007 season a Stanley Cup favorite ready to improve on last years improbable run. I will be here on blogspot every step of the way with news, stats, rumors and opinions as the Sabres begin their march towards their first championship. Look for my season preview article to appear in the coming days. Hope you enjoy. Brandon
