and all with great price tags, only had one against the sharks.

maika · Answer

I know as a professional athlete you should and most likely do approach each game with the same mentality, but you have to think how much of these Sabres wins are down to the opponents underestimating them.

After all, they are still the shocking team they were earlier in the year.

Sabres were second only to the Oilers &#x2B;200 tonight as the "Big Dog" @ &#x2B;185

MikeyAces · Answer

I&#x27;ve been fortunate enough to hit them a few times including tonight, not good for their Conor McDavid sweepstakes hopes.

Think that win against San Ho started it all

Mushu · Answer

If Sabres want a shot at MacDavid ...they better put the brakes on. They are seriously underestimating how poor the Oilers are.

This will be, what, 6 first round top 5 draft picks for the Oilers in 2015?
