Now Do You Believe?

Kevin Freiheit: A Look Back

Six years ago from tonight was one of the most heart-breaking losses in the playoffs for the Sabres that I can remember. A young, injury-depleted lineup had a chance to go the Stanley Cup Finals, but ended up falling to Carolina in game 7. Jochen Hecht's ugly goal gave the Sabres a one goal lead after two periods. Jay McKee, Henrik Tallinder, Teppo Numminen and Dmitri Kalinin...
