Again, name one play where the lack of defense or the lower quality of the
replacements cost you a game.

Still the opportunity was there. The Sabres like Affingenov didn't finish.

You're right, they weren't Detroit was. Since you love the stats, they
prove it.

Again, name one mistake by the replacements or lack of ability that cost you
a game.

Detroit were. and you are part of the Sabres organization? When did you
get hired. Congrats! I know you weren't last year!

Yeah Kasparitis was pretty lucky in Game 7 in 2001. You know that hurts
you. 1:19 from moving on to the Finals with home ice advantage. 1:19.
Tell me, pla, did that sting worse or seeing your team blow a lead in game 5
and game 7 last year was even more?
