Not in a storybook season like this one. This would not be their final chapter. Instead, from that horrific start, the Sabres found themselves once again.
They stormed back, took the lead and pulled far away. It was 1-0 Buffalo, then 3-1 Montreal, then 5-3 Sabres -- en route to a dominant, 8-3 victory to extend the Sabres' season on Saturday night. This was Game 6, a potential closeout game for Montreal in front of their home fans in French Canada.
