"Long-Suffering Fans Get a Glimmer of Hope: Sabres Break Through, Leafs Still Struggling. For over a decade, the Buffalo Sabres have been waiting for the sweet taste of playoff action, but their drought finally came to an end last season. Meanwhile, their cross-border rivals, the Toronto Maple Leafs, have been stuck in their own playoff slump, dating back to the early 2000s. As the current NHL season unfolds, the Sabres are clinging to a slim playoff spot, while the Leafs continue to struggle, leaving fans of both teams wondering if this will be the year their team breaks through and makes a deep postseason run. Will the Sabres' momentum be enough to carry them into the playoffs, or will the Leafs finally find their form and make a push for the postseason?"
Yes it's been that long. Leafs had a really long playoff drought in the 2000s. The Sabres then have an ongoing playoff drought since 2011. The Leafs are currently not in a playoff spot while the Sabres are holding onto one. submitted by /u/DonT012 [link] [comments]
