Paul Pidutti of Daily Faceoff introduced a new idea called "The Torch," which is meant to pinpoint the single best player at any point in NHL history. Hasek is the only Sabres player to crack the prestigious list, with Pidutti estimating he stood at the NHL mountaintop during a three-year period from 1997 through 1999. "He'd fuel the flame through the 1999 playoffs, where he posted a .939 playoff save percentage as his Buffalo Sabres fell two wins short of a Cup." Dominik Hasek has a strong case as the greatest player in Buffalo Sabres historyIt's an age-old debate within the Buffalo fanbase: Who's the best player to ever don a Sabres jersey, Hasek or "the original Sabre" Gilbert Perreault? He led the NHL in save percentage for six straight years starting in 1993-94, never posting a mark below .920 during that stretch.
