With Buffalo being my probably least favourite team, I think my wish
will finally come true this year and they'll miss the playoffs.
Everyone was making a big fuss over Scotty Bowman (most
hated-by-players coach in the league?) returning to the bench and his
initial unbeaten streak, but the Sabres went back to their old habits
and lost four games in a row until finally winning on Friday.  Like
the maple Laughs, the Sabres just don't seem to have that drive.

Montreal and Quebec both have that desire to win -- neither really has
any more in terms of personnel than Buffalo -- and they'll battle it
out for first place.  Les Canadiens have just exploded this year in
goal scoring, and if they can come up with a hot goaltender, they
could be in the finals, with a reasonable chance to sneak a Cup
away from the Oilers...
