Block 1 Update: 7-3-0, 4th in EC

Goalkeeper Ryan Miller is leading the Sabres with great play between the pipes. Sabres Off to Hot Start BUFFALO, NY - It's been five years since Buffalo advanced past the first round of the NHL playoffs. After ten games the faithful in Buffalo are thinking this may be the year to break that streak. The Sabres have stormed out to a 7-3-0 start that sees them amongst the best in the NHL. Solid goaltending from Ryan Miller, who has two shutouts already in the short season, and loads of scoring production from the top two lines has Buffalo on a bit of a roll as the NHL's first month comes to an end. Highlight of the Block: Thomas Vanek's hat trick in Tampa. The top line winger had just one goal in the first six games but exploded in a 5-1 victory for a three goals and an assist to push Buffalo to 5-2. Needs Improvement: Scoring from the defensemen. Buffalo is not intimidating anyone when the puck gets thrown back to the blue line. In ten games the Sabres have just one goal from a defensemen, that being a Tyler Myers blast in the 5-1 blowout of Tampa Bay.

Love the tables you did, wish I was good at html to do a setup like that. Great start like how you are trying to keep it realistic.
