Though the Buffalo Sabres have had many good draft picks recently and have a roster studded with talent, for the past 14 years, they have been unable to make the playoffs. Their last appearance in the Stanley Cup playoffs was in 2010-2011, where they lost in the first round to the Philadelphia Flyers – 14 years ago. Their appearance in this year’s Stanley Cup playoffs feels long overdue, and thus, they have a little bit more motivation than the rest of us to go all the way.
