With a frustrating loss to Montreal last night, the Buffalo Sabres were eliminated from playoff contention. It was the final blow to Sabres fans everywhere who struggled all season with the massive letdown from last season's epic run.

Making matters worse, Chris Drury will be heading to the playoffs with his Rangers and Daniel Briere may well see him there as the Flyers battle for a final playoff spot over the next week. It's easy to look back at all the missed opportunities - a three goal lead against Philly squandered at home, letting Montreal score two goals in final three minutes a week ago, and the all-too-memorable collapse against Ottawa (again at home) giving up five goals in the 3rd period.

Those losses were merely symptoms, however, and there are more fundamental problems that need to be addressed. First, take this quiz - where did Ryan Miller rank for save % this season?
