[quote=“j\_espo1,post:4008,topic:25170"”] Only six Presidents’ Trophy winners have gone on to win the Cup in the 20 years since the league began giving out the award. [/quote] Nice stat. But I like this one much more: Le Bold. > **4 x 30 = success –** The [Buffalo Sabres](http://www.sabres.com/) finished the season with four 30-goal scorers in [Thomas Vanek](http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app/?service=page&page=PlayerDetail&playerId=8470598), [Chris Drury](http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app/?service=page&page=PlayerDetail&playerId=8460562), [Daniel Briere](http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app/?service=page&page=PlayerDetail&playerId=8464975) and [Jason Pominville](http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app/?service=page&page=PlayerDetail&playerId=8469506). **The last two teams to boast four 30-goal scorers have gone on to win the Stanley Cup.** ---

For Espo: Question? What are the odds you can win it all when you are in a SIX TEAM LEAGUE??? Calculator says: 16.7 % chance. Odds winning the Cup in a 30 team league: 3.3% chance. Yeah, it was really tough winning Cups back then, wasn’t it? Food For thought Let us compare shall we… Toronto - Original 6 Team Buffalo - 1970 expansion team Last Toronto Cup - 1966 -1967 Last Buffalo Cup - N/a 40 years since your last cup (Edit: Hence why I am not a Math Major) 37 years we haven’t won a cup cup finals reached in that time… Buffalo 2 - Toronto 0 Enjoy golf season my friends to the north ---

Arguing about who has more cups/last time a team has been to the finals is super fucking gay. How many players are still on the Buffalo Sabres that made it to the finals in 99? Players come and go, rules change and coaches are hired and fired. I don’t even understand why we are talking about the goddamn Maple Leafs in a Sabres thread. The playoffs are about to start, the Sabres are in and the Leafs are out, and everyone wants to argue about which franchise has been better in the past 40 years. ---

> 04.09.2007: The news just keeps getting better for the Buffalo Sabres on the injury front. As we reported over a month ago, Paul Gaustad’s recovery is well ahead of schedule. Our optimistic reports back then stated the Sabres’ centerman could be back as soon as the Conference Finals. In recent days, Gaustad was cleared to remove the protective boot he has been wearing. Gaustad told MSG Saturday afternoon that he could return to light-skating duties in the very near future. **Various media reports over the weekend even went as far as saying a return in the second round might be possible for Goose.** . ---
