It will be Detroit-Ottawa in the finals...

 

[nealdrox]

Learn how to take a loss. Why make excuses? Sens are just way to much for them. Seriously in the first 2 games Sabres have failed to capitalize on many power plays and such. They only shoot themselves in the foot so don't go blaming the good ol' refs.

 

[ckjedi66]

Wow, you had a goal disallowed. You got it back within a couple minutes and then took a 2 goal lead that you couldn't hold. The refs had nothing to with Buffalo's inability to seal the deal. The Senators are doing all the little things and dirty work along the boards that Buffalo seems unwilling to do. There's no way you win the next 4 against that Senators team.

I must agree, Buffalo may be able to pull one more win out of themselves, but I really think they have run out of gas, and Clarkie is right Ottowa is doing all the little things right and that's what needs to be done in the playoffs.

 

[Clarkie25]

That's 3. 1 more to go. The broom closet is open. All the Senators have to do is take the broom out of it. I've never seen a team do so little with so many chances . Buffalo is 0-18 on the power play. You can't expect to win with numbers like that. Ottawa's PK does everything right. They have best PK unit I've seen in a long long time.

And as right as you are, and as much as the Sens have outplayed the Sabres for the best part of 3 straight games, and outworked them, and out-penaltied them especially... I live here, and I only watch hockey for my hometown team, so I have to believe, and I sincerely do believe.

Maybe they lose next game, or win one and then lose at home, or win two and then lose back in Canada's capital. But...

Maybe, just maybe, they pull out one of the greatest turnarounds in playoff history... Buffalo wins the next one, and then again, and then on the road, and before you know it, they're playing game seven at HSBC. Believe it or not... it's possible. It's not over till its over.

It could be over next game. Or it could be a miraculous Jekyll and Hyde Buffalo that after three games of one, transforms back to their irrepressible selves that had a six game winning streak in the playoffs IN Ottawa... they only need to win 2 in Canada and 2 in Buffalo...

You never know.

I think they can do it, and HOW I would love to see it happen. If they do it, they'll do it because they deserve it... by dominating the next 4 hockey games. You never know.

It could be possible but it would be very hard, especially with a solid team like Ottawa, I would like to see that either but i don't know... You said the same thing when it was 2-0 Ottawa, anyways everything is possible but it is very hard to come back when it's 3-0!

:1orglaugh Sabres can't even dominate one game against Ottawa. The come back might be possible if they were playing Ottawa of a few years ago but this Senators club plays with a necessary edge and togetherness to get deep in the post season. I'd even go as far as to say they have a killer instinct. They're going to go for the throat in game 4. The only thing that's kept Buffalo in it has been Miller. Briere has all but vanished along with Spacek,Drury,and Afinogenov. Maybe Drury and Briere are thinking about the potential payday that's coming from Philly on July 1st.

Great game last night.

 

[Clarkie25]

Yeah. Who said 1-0 games are boring? That was exciting.

yes it was


Ottawa and Detroit for the Stanley Cup

 

[Clarkie25]

I just want it to end already. Give Ottawa the cup now and get on to the draft and free agent signings. I wish the free agent market opened a day after the draft. I'm tired of waiting to see what Philly's plan is.

I want it to end so I can see what the Canucks do with Naslund

 

[Clarkie25]

is he a free agent this summer?

 

[bigbadbrody]

is he a free agent this summer?

I am not sure what a free agent is:o

But I sure hope he is, because the Canucks need to get rid of him.

Here is a list of all the players who'll be available to sign with whoever they want come July 1st. Why get rid of Naslund? I thought he was the Smyth of Vancouver:dunno:

He used to be. But now if you were to look at his stats for the season and playoffs you wouldn't think so.

He is over payed and does not deserve to be the captain.

Fuck Naslund is not on the list, but better players are

 

[L3ggy]

Näslund is such a great hockey player.

He is getting a little older I guess. He's what 34? Maybe he'll get traded before the start of next season. Could need a change of scenery and a lesser role on a different team. Just an idea.

 

[bigbadbrody]

Näslund is such a great hockey player.

you are just saying that because he is from Sweeden and so are you. But in reality he is not.

The sedin Twins are great hockey players

One would hope. As there are other players (unless they are traded) who are more deserving to where the C
