Outlook:
The Sabres used their speed to skate around Philly's defense that was big and slow. Now they face a defense that is big and very quick. Hasek wasn't the only reason Buffalo won in the first round, but now he will have to excel. Montreal's old magic seems to have moved to the new arena. The Habs got Saku Koivu back and he is healthy.
