On the band wagon I see

as the 2nd wildcard right now, no no sir...bandwagon would be Tampa, Colorado something of that

 

[GoSU96]

Go Sabres!

 

[Chip]

Go Sabres!

What an amazing 3rd period.

Great game.

 

[NineOneSeven]

I have no hockey allegiance but as a Bills fan, rooting for Sabres, Hell of a season and wow what an ending.

 

[GoSU96]

Great game.

Two of the three guys people wanted run out of town on the third goal and Power was really good all night. Shows you that guys can get better.

 

[Toga]

Yes it's a hockey town.

Great game.

would have sucked to drop game 1 at home. Great win. Going to be a battle. I really wish the NHL playoffs were a straight 1-8 seeding but is what it is.

Especially without scoring a goal and how the power play was just abysmal. Those crazed fans that were patient were rewarded.

The scenes outside the arena might have been better than those inside!

Playoff hockey is so great.

It used to be, and then also they would redraw the next bracket accordingly. But then the owners complained about travel costs. They made the specious argument about promoting rivalries closer to home. Which is why the Oilers drew the Kings in the first round four years running.

Supposedly only 8th time in playoff history a team has come back down more than one goal in the last 10 minutes and won in regulation

That was awesome. I was just starting to cope about the Bruins insane puck luck until TT went into Josh Allen mode. Actually Tuch helped set up both of those. B'ville shout-out on the broadcast.
Pretty clean game; nobody I hate on Boston yet, other than the fans obviously.

Pretty easy to hate Zardarov and pasta

Colorado,Minnesota, and Dallas : top 3 seeds in the west and two have to be gone by the third round. This would be like San Antonio and Denver playing the first round .

Big W for the Sabres. Pretty much dominated.
+100 on the ML (Bruins -120 was that because of Norris?) was a gift.
First two penalties were complete garbage. B's Coach has some nerve to complain.
No chance of a 2nd Rd win with this dogcrap PowerPlay tho, what the hey.

Huge win, at worst they need to come back to Buffalo at 2-2 but man win game 4 and things are really looking up. Lyon was fantastic. Ostlund was great as well, good to see him back.

Power Play- Getting ridiculous

Gotta get Quinn off of PP1.

Bruins PK doesn’t even bother pressuring him when he has the puck because they shade toward Tage (rightly so).

Ostlund has to play, not sure who that leaves as odd man out. I wonder if Carrick will ever make it back.

Norris wasn’t doing much in games 1& 2 so I don’t expect much or miss him all that much.

Consulting my Coach-Speak chart, when someone is ruled out for a whole series before it begins, they're out for the next round as well.
