But wait, how can that be? Staal ASSURED us there would be no SC hangover? I'm schocked! :lol:

Strong outing by Marty, and I'm usually not a fan of his.

4-3 now.

I wouldn't say Ryan had a bad game, at least two of those Montreal goals came off some pretty sick Carolina-like bounces, not giving him much of a chance.

Character win, absolute class.

Continuing the trend of last season by coming strong in the third. Loving it!

Much like any team from Buffalo is not ALLOWED to win anything... *sigh*...

Yeah that figures though, been that way all series. Wouldn't mind us getting a few of those. But jeez, Drury and Pominville, and none of them hit the goal. That's just not good enough.

That'd be sweet, but for Max to score twice, they'd have to forget to dress a goalie :-)

Nobody's jumping off the wagon, far from it. I'm just disappointed that some forwards are leaving the D hanging, and not skating hard. I'm particularly disappointed by Max, looks like he lost 3 years of development over night, with his end-to-end, then make a blind between the legs play to somebody who's hopefully, somewhere near where the puck hopefully was supposed to go... I hope.

Seven? I'm afraid I think it'll be over in six, the way this game is panning out.

Dumont needs to stop his Vanek impression. And Max just got a nice assist on the 3rd goal.

Did Zhitnik practice with the team yesterday, since they suddenly lost all ability to hit the net?

Doesn't look good so far.

I'll say it then - Rory is a problem, I must've seen him cough up the puck, be out of position, or get outskated a hundred times tonight. He just isn't good enough for the game at this level.

So very true - To be able to watch your team mid-May is something special. GO SABRES!

First of all, nice to be able exhange opinions with a fan of the opposite team. That would never have happened with The Flyers. I would agree on most of your opinions, however I also saw OTT get away with a lot of holdings and a particularly nasty crosschecking in front of the net in the 1st, so all in all I don't think the refs were all against you tonight. I do think the officiating was poor though.

Let's hope so, but I'm more psyched over Briere having showed up for real in this series. Those were two awesome assists tonight.

That was one helluva way to shake that softie from Umberger, way to go Miller - I am officially eating my words. On top of that, I thought The Sabres were extremely sound defensively. Can't remember 3 open chances for Philly, plus the fact that it shows what they're capable of when they can't rely on bounces to find the mesh - Not much at all.

Philly owns this series by now. Miller has stunk it up royally at the most crucial of moments in game 3 and 4, and while Philly have been exceptionally lucky, we should've STILL put them away! Make no mistake, Philly will KEEP getting bounces, and Miller will KEEP stinking it up - The Sabres need to convert on some of their friggin' scoring chances!!

Cryers up 4-3. I'm starting to hope for Biron.....................

Oh boy, yes please!! I've stated this on numerous occasions, but just in case anyone missed it : There is NO team I detest in The NHL like The Flyers. There is no organisation more classless in The NHL than The Flyers. Right from Ed Snider, down to the guy cleans the blood off the ice after one of these clowns have hi-sticked, elbowed, speared or boarded somebody into oblivion, this organisation consists of loudmouthed, cowardly, cheap-shotting, intent-on-injuring whiners! Even Forsberg, whom I used to think of as a classy player, has resorted to Flyer cheap-shotting and whining in this series. I guess it comes with the territory, eh? "You wanna play for us? Start playing like a cheap-shotting moron, and don't miss an opportunity to bitch and whine about being sent to the box for it". I'll take a sweep in the second round with a big ol' smile on my face if I have to, but please please please please - BEAT The Flyers. I just couldn't bear a first round exit to that franchise.

If I ever bump into this guy, I have a huge apology to offer.

Sabres have been outworked for over a week now. Head inflation will do that to you :-(

And they can't clear the zone and it costs them 2 goals, pfffffff.........
