Dan Darragh Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Will we see Josh at Key Bank watching the Sabres celebrate? Or Tage and Rasmus at the Bills' parade? Quote

BeyondTheProcess Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Hard to see Sabres getting through a 7 game series vs any of the top 3 or 4 teams (Colorado, Carolina, TB), barring the goaltenders standing on their heads, which could happen. Those teams have way too much size, strength and firepower. Sabres are fast and fiesty, "the little engine that could" but still a little soft and small, esp on defense, IMHO. 1 6 1 1 Quote
Gregg Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Shouldn't pain and heartache be an option. Afterall that is the real answer. As an Isles fan I am happy for Sabres fans. You deserve this after all the crap hockey these past 14 years. Believe me I know. I lived it with the Isles during the dark days of the 90's. The Milbury years, fishsticks, nobody going to our games. The Sabres will make the playoffs, and I hope the Isles do too obviously. As for this poll I hope the Bills win first since I actually am a Bills fan. Sports in Buffalo is looking good right now. Quote

Something about this team is special though. That game on Sunday was a special one and showed that we can hang with anyone. I think the key will be to avoid longer series’ in rd 1 and 2.

The Canes, Lightning, or Sabres will represent the EC in the SCF. 2 Quote
BillsPride12 Posted March 10 Posted March 10 It can change but right now it feels like the Sabres are the team with all of the momentum so that's who I voted for 1 Quote

Big Turk Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Well if the psychic is correct, Sabres win the cup this year and Bills win SB in 2027. 1 Quote

Won seven of nine face offs, scored a MASSIVE goal and sets the tone with his toughness. Both teams gave up on defense. I get the UPL criticism overall, but IMO this game wasn't one to use as an example. Low SOG but loads of high danger chances. 2 back door goals where Kuch should have absolutely been accounted for, a goal off of Tuch, and then two goals where Muel and Power both fail to pick up their man and fail to clear the rebound. We don't have a particularly physical defense, which means they absolutely have to be quick to clear the rebound and position the body. Something they have been very good at as of late, but absolutely terrible at against Tampa and they hung the goalie out to dry. UPL wasn't impressive, but he wasn't terrible either. He played fine IMO. Really strange, you normally see physical games like that with a clamped down defense. But this was playoff intensity and all star game defense. Quote
