A tale of two seasons for Sabres

Hockey Betting Lines

11/09/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - It's hard to believe that just one year ago the Buffalo Sabres were the best team in the National Hockey League.

But, since the team let co-captains and start centermen Chris Drury and Danny Briere walk in free agency, the expectations for last year's Presidents' Trophy winners have dropped considerably.

So far, this season has little in common with last year, when Buffalo tied an NHL record with victories in its first 10 games of the season.

Buffalo is just 6-7-1 so far this season and head's into Friday as the last place team in the Northeast Division. At this stage last season, the Sabres had twice as many victories, as they were 12-1-1 through the first 14 games of the 2006-07 schedule.

The Sabres were able to halt a three-game losing streak recently by beating the visiting Boston Bruins on Wednesday night. Clarke MacArthur scored the game-winning goal with 1:44 left in overtime to give Buffalo a 2-1 comeback win against Boston.

Yet, outside of a three-game winning streak from October 11-15, the Sabres have been unable to get any kind of momentum going.

Still, with All-Star goaltender Ryan Miller between the pipes and a solid cast of up-and-coming offensive talent, Buffalo could easily turn things around and make the playoffs this year.
