There's a little runway left, and for now anyway, the Sabres can (mathematically) keep the playoff dream alive...Kris and Matthew, however, are still being realistic about the expected outcome.Have the Sabres really gotten better at handling the pressure per Don Granato's claims, or did they simply get a goalie that learned to handle it?But really, this episode was sabotaged by pre-maturely discussing a possible draft strategy for the Sabres come June. Feedback loop is open. We can't wait to expand...
