I am reading tons of posts from Buffalo fans already claiming they have the cup but you have 6 of your wins by way of the shootout and 4 of your wins via OT (regular season is 4 on 4 playoffs is 5 on 5). The Stars had an inflated record because of the shootout last year and got CRUSHED in the first round. The Sabres have 29 wins that means over 1/3 of all the "wins" would not be wins in the OLD nhl and would not be wins in the playoffs. It will be interesting to see what happens to a shootout, finese open ice team in the 2nd and 3rd OT of a grueling playoff game where there is no shoot out and not nearly the open ice.
I expect an early exit for Buffalo. What are your thoughts?
