Who's the bigger disappointment?

[calr]

The Sabres went from winning the NHL's Presidents' Trophy to becoming the third team all-time to miss the playoffs the next season. Meanwhile, the Senators downward spiraled from Eastern Conference champion to a No. 7 seed and first-round sweep, even after beginning the year an unprecedented 13-1-0 and holding the East's top spot at the all-star break.

The question: Who should be more ashamed?

I'll go with the Senators, who won as many playoff games as golf course-bound Buffalo. They had much higher expectations; the main regret I have these days is that the 2006-07 Sabres weren't the 2007-08 Sabres. The East playoffs are wide open this spring; there isn't an '06-07 Sens team standing in the way of conference supremacy.

13-0-1

that is the only argument.

Ottawa. You could argue that the Sabres had this coming after the losses last offseason. Ottawa was supposed to be a contender for the cup again this year. The way they started fast and burned out faster makes Ottawa the bigger disappointment.

13-0-1

that is the only argument.

13-1-0.

I'm going to go with Buffalo, mainly, because I really don't care what Ottawa does in the long run. There is still no reason Buffalo should have missed the postseason.

Wait until we kick Ottawa's ass next year and they don't even make playoffs.
