Message: [QUOTE="ForCuseSake, post: 2997592, member: 266"] I think that Sabres team had more grit than this year's Lightning. Had the Bolts gone back to the ECFs this year then they'd be identical (albeit with more skill and less toughness) to the 06-07 Sabres. TB getting swept in the first round makes them softer IMO. Buffalo still had a few tough guys like Mair, Peters, and (to a lesser extent) Gaustad; I don't see many of those types on TB (Kucherov? ok. Hedman? maybe.) Those Buffalo teams were an awesome mix of skill, grit and exceptional goal-tending. [/QUOTE]
