The Sabres are playing like they were expected to play at the start now that they are not only healthy but playing way better on defense. Lindy Ruff has worked his magic once again. I am not dillusional. I know that it could go south, but I am not expecting it to. The draft picks Darcy has stock piled can be cashed in to make this team a monster. I am hoping they make it. But either way the short term future looks mighty bright. They have to get some more muscle. But Tropp played a big game in Vancouver and can be one of those guys. Hodgeson is going to have a big impact. When all is said and done, I still will take Ryan Miller over any goalie in the world.
