Here's a nice collection of articles from today's Buffalo News. One of those pieces gave a tempting stat - the Sabres were 17-9-2 when Miller, Vanek, and Connolly were all healthy and playing. They better drink lots of milk, because I sure as hell hope they play together more than 28 games.

Well, projecting those stats to a full schedule yields:

50-26-6

That's 106 points - Good for at least second in the East.

Well that is an incredible record for only playing 28 games with them all healthy.

Very encouraging...I remember when the Sabres won 40 games one year and took the division...now that didn't even get them into the top 8. Crazy.

I just noticed the smart ass comment was coming from the guy claiming Sekera will score at least 50 pts.

I don't care what you want to bet on it. Don't sling shit when you already stepped in it.

I thought it was something like that... Honestly if nothing happens to Miller alone, they'll easily make the playoffs.
