Block M's Buffalo Sabres (NHL 12)

[SENS_AK27]

That's pretty intense it comes down to the last day of the regular season. I love how Ottawa has been surging up the standings, making a playoff push. Start in Feb in 14 and now sit in 10th.

Excellent dynasty so far Block M. Even if it's a Sabres dynasty...LOL

Deflating Deflection; Boston Ends Buffalos Season BOSTON, MA - Of course the Sabres didn't know it at the time but if they had won any of their last four games they'd be heading to Washington right now to face the President Trophy winning Capitals. Instead they are heading back to Buffalo to clean out their lockers. Buffalo and Boston were tied 2-2 with under five minutes left when Bruin Beniot Pouliot brought the puck into the Sabres end with just Robyn Regehr in between him and goaltender Ryan Miller. Pouliot let a shot rip and the blast would find Regehr's stick, deflect straight towards the middle of the net, and through Ryan Miller's five hole. Having heard the news of Tampa Bay's victory that had just gone final a half hour earlier, Pouliot's goal was no doubt the final blow to their season despite four minutes remaining on the clock. The Bruins controlled much of the possession the rest of the game and Tim Thomas would come up with a huge stop on Tyler Ennis with just over thirty seconds left to send the Sabres into an off season where the entire organization will be looking for answers after missing the playoffs for the third time in five years. April 7th, 2012 F Buffalo Sabres (40-37-5) 2 Boston Bruins (45-30-7) 3 Goal Scorers Tyler Myers (12) Regehr, Roy Thomas Vanek (28) Pominville, Myers Loss Ryan Miller (35-34)

It's really odd that Minnoesta Wild got into the playoffs and the Canucks almost got kicked out... LOL

Also weird to see Toronto and Winnipeg dominate while the Penguins struggled just as much as I did.

Detroit was also heads and shoulders above everyone else about twenty games in but had a melt down and became a middle of the pack team.
