An NHL record-matching 10-0 start was not part of the Sabres' goals entering the season. "Well, it's not the goal," Sabres co-captain Daniel Briere said after practice Friday. "I mean, it's very exciting. I think we're all proud of what we've accomplished so far. But at the end of the day, it's not what we're aiming for down the road." It's going to take more than a perfect start to impress a team that's dreaming of a Stanley Cup after losing Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals last season to eventual champion Carolina. "We don't put much stock into it," goaltender Ryan Miller said of matching Toronto's 1993 record for best start to a season. "It's not going to define our season." Today, the Sabres, with tempered enthusiasm, will try to break the record when they host the Thrashers.
