Just like the real Buffalo Sabres, my fantasy hockey team the Sabres died a painful death last week. I had to settle for 7th place and a spot in the consolation bracket of my league. The only good news is that I get a bye week this week.

So now the mission is to be the best of the losers in my league and finish 7th overall after the dust settles from the playoffs.

Yeah! What a goal, the best of the losers. At least Im not the worst of the winners bracket.

Going into the playoffs my leading scorer is Travis Zajac of the New Jersey Devils. He was a mid season pick up and honestly was my most consistent player down the stretch besides Tim Connolly.

Goaltending was not my weakness it was offense and I think if anything, I learned that next year I need to go after offense a little earlier.

Miikka Kiprusoff led the way with 40 wins so far and 4 shutouts. Ryan Miller led in shutouts with 5 but has been on the shelf for a few weeks now with that ankle injury.

Updates will continue as I strive for best of the loser bracket.
