A lot of the success of the Buffalo Sabres can be claimed by their netminder, Don Edwards. Edwards was twice named a Second Team All Star (1978 & 1980), the second of which was a Vezina Trophy winning campaign (along with Bob Sauve).

While Edwards was playing in Buffalo he did not get the overall attention that he deserved we would like to point out something that should: In the five year run from 1977-77 to 1981-82 he was in the top five in Goalie Point Shares including bookending that stretch with NHL leading numbers. That is a pretty impressive half-century!
