May 13 Luukkonen, special teams power Sabres past Canadiens in critical game four
The Sabres have been a team that's shown the ability to respond all season long.
After two dominating performances from Montreal, the trend continued in game four.
Lindy Ruff made a change in goal, changes to his lineup, and changes on special teams paid off in a big way as Buffalo overcame a controversial goaltender interference call, and the Canadiens in a 3-2 win that evened the series at two games apiece.

May 04 Habs and Hab Nots: Previewing the Sabres/Canaidens series with guest Paul Hamilton
The Sabres were able to finish the Boston Bruins in six games, and had the benefit of waiting while Montreal and Tampa Bay went seven games.
