| Look the only reason the Senators are winning is because they're controlling the puck, keeping the Sabres from getting any decent scoring opportunities and dominating the Sabres on both ends of the power plays. Besides that, the Sabres are doing great. |

Typical habs fan  A great pass, a beautiful one timer and Alfreddson goes to the net and taps it (looks like it would have been in anyway) That's what you call hockey. |

As soon as I pick a team as a "sure thing", down they go. 
Go Ducks. |

Getting to the Stanley Cup Finals is an accomplishment in itself that history will not soon forget. Getting swept there doesn't take that away.
But if I had to think of a SOUL-CRUSHING way to lose in the playoffs it would be for the top team in the regular season to cruise through the first couple of rounds, taking 7-game series in 4 or 5, then getting absolutely owned, swept out of the playoffs the round just BEFORE the Stanley Cup Finals, by a divisional rival no less, to forever be forgotten (as has every Maple Leaf playoff surge in the last 40 years, in coming up short of the big dance).
If one was watching hockey then, one remembers the Flyers and Bruins getting to the finals in the eighties even though the Oilers dynasty prevailed. But how many times did the Winnipeg Jets, St. Louis Blues, L.A. Kings Chicago Blackhawks get to the third round and be beaten just before the finals? I dunno, even though I've followed the playoffs for over a quarter century. Rounds before the Finals get blurred together in memory except for one's own teams.
Of course, I speak as a Canucks fan who fondly remembers 1982 despite being swept by the dynasty Isles and 1994 despite losing that one too.
The Buffalo Sabres have twice gone to the finals, in the days of Perreault and Gare of the mid-seventies, and in the late-nineties skate-in-the-crease fiasco. Both of those seasons will be remembered by NON-Sabres fans.
This year will be quickly forgotten by non-Sabres fans, and the team of specific players will be relegated to the dustbin of history factoids.
Soul crushing it must be. |

| Someone should tell Lindy Ruff to let some other Sabres besides Ryan Miller on the ice for the third period. Miller does pretty well on his own but it'd probably help if his teammates were out there. |

In the 1980's that was almost a Blackhawks tradition- losing in the conference finals.
1982 to Vancouver
1983 to Edmonton
1985 to Edmonton
1989 to Calgary
1990 to Edmonton
The playoffs were set up so that teams played within their division for the first two rounds. Chicago was the strongest team in a weak division- the Norris. Once they faced real competition, they folded. Only the 1981 North Stars (WHO?) went to the finals out of that division during the decade.

This tends to be a hockey thing. Baseball and football I can handle. I haven't seen enough hockey games this season to do much more than guess. |
