text: how did the senators lose to the sabres?  please provide some details.? what or who was the problem?  overworked?  no top-notch goalie? sabres faster?  ryan miller?  senators had too many excellent players? i really think that speed was the main factor.  the sabres are sort of the prototypical new nhl team.  the senators may have more talent, but the sabres play beautifully as a single team.
