"The Buffalo Sabres have captured the 2006-07 Presidents' Trophy, awarded to the club finishing the regular season with the League's best record. The Sabres (53-21-7, 113 points) clinched the trophy today for the first time in franchise history following their 2-0 victory over the Washington Capitals. The Presidents' Trophy winner is guaranteed home-ice advantage throughout its participation in the Stanley Cup Playoffs."

It's a curse!!!
Tell them to give it back, only 2 teams have won the Presidents and the grail since they started handing the pres. out.

Very exciting and worthy team Buffalo's put together. I hope they can find a way to keep both Briere and Drury. You could have a great couple years battling it out with Pittsburgh for the East.

Best of luck in the playoffs.

GO WINGS!!!!

Thanks Dale. But it doesn't matter, Buffalo sports teams are already cursed. 4 super bowls lost and 2 Lord Stanley Cup lost. I hope we meet you soon for the cup.

Re: Buffalo Sabres Capture 2006-07 Presidents' Trophy

Well congrats Plainsman, but now the real work begins. I hope your team does real well, right up until they meet the Redwings!
btw did you catch the Michigan State Spartans last night. The last 10 minutes of the third period was beautifull!!!

Re: Buffalo Sabres Capture 2006-07 Presidents' Trophy

Thanks BMB. I too hope we meet. It would be neat to see the Dominator play again.

Re: Buffalo Sabres Capture 2006-07 Presidents' Trophy

Nuts, I was really hoping TO would make it in. It should be a great playoffs though. Intriguing match ups all over. I was honestly hoping Colorado would take over Calgary's spot. Any playoff predictions?

Heres mine:

East
round
1st----- 2nd----- 3rd----- ECF Champion
BUF----- BUF----- BUF----- BUF
NYI-----

ATL ----- NYR-----
NYR-----

NJ----- NJ ----- OTT-----
TB-----

OTT----- OTT-----
PITT-----

West
round
1st----- 2nd ----- 3rd ----- WCF Champion
DET----- DET----- DET----- SJ
CGY-----

ANA----- MIN-----
MIN-----

VAN----- VAN----- SJ-----
DAL

NAS----- SJ-----
SJ-----


Stanley Cup Champion:

Buffalo


Until this stupid schedule and alignment goes away I don't believe a team from the west has a realistic chance of winning the Stanley Cup, but thats and argument for another day.

Re: Buffalo Sabres Capture 2006-07 Presidents' Trophy

Of course I agree with the east, Buffalo, but for the west I'm going with the Ducks.
And the Sabres take the cup.

 

[DaleT]

Re: Buffalo Sabres Capture 2006-07 Presidents' Trophy

I can't really disagree with Anaheim. But I like the way the Wild matches up with them and with Gigueres(sp?) recent personal problems I'm not sure his head will be totally in the game. Not to mention my pure disdain for all things Pronger/Neidermayer.

"Not to mention my pure disdain for all things Pronger/Neidermayer"

No offense my northern neighbor, but the Sens don't do well in the playoffs. But I do wish you the best of luck!!

Re: Buffalo Sabres Capture 2006-07 Presidents' Trophy

The Sens won't get past the Pens ... Pens take the East!
