TBN: The curse of Ville Leino? Ten years ago today was Sabres' last playoff game

The curse of Ville Leino? Ten years ago today was Sabres' last playoff game

Now it really has been a decade since the Sabres' last appearance in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Monday marks 10 years since the club skated in a postseason game. On April 26, 2011, the Sabres suffered a 5-2 loss at Philadelphia in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals. They have never gone back to the playoffs since, and this season's collapse has tied the all-time NHL record of 10 straight misses set by Florida (2001-11, including the lockout year) and equaled by Edmonton (2007-2016).

Nothing like a good old Sabres bashing article from Mike Harrington. It's a good article. The bashing is mainly about the Leino signing. There's some interesting things about Laviolette's goalie usage in the Flyers series and it probably marked the end of Ryan Miller's time as a franchise goalie.

The Flyers used three goalies to survive, becoming the first NHL team since 1964 to win a postseason series using a trio of players in net.

My first child was born a few days later, on April 30, 2011.

He turns 10 years old this Friday. He's entering 5th grade in the fall and definitely approaching the pre-teen/adolescent period.

Blows my mind that there has literally not been a single Sabres playoff game in his entire lifetime.
