1999 Playoff Run

After defeating the Ottawa Senators, Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs in the post season, the Sabres returned to the Stanley Cup Finals in 1999. The Sabres were defeated in a third overtime period of game six by the Dallas Stars. The goal was quite controversial, as many agreed former player Brett Hull was clearly in the goaltender's crease, which was not allowed.
