Taro T Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 Note: This poll assumes we win the division. If Ottawa ends up overtaking us, we'll almost definitely face either the Devils or Penguins. In order (preferred to least): Phlyers, Bruins, Threshers, Habs. The Habs scare me. I know the Sabres are 4-0-1 against them, but the Habs play 'em tough. I'd rather face Joisey.
Calvin Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 you might want to add the Rags to this as well.. since they are two points behind the Thrash with a game in hand.. so technically still in the running

It's pretty improbable that they pass 4 teams, but they do have pretty much the same chance as the Trashers.
shrader Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 From the best matchup perspective, I want Philly thanks to the goalie situation. From a completely greedy point of view, I want Boston because I haven't gone to a playoff game since '99.

My one reservation is that Rask is one of the goalies capable of outdueling Miller.

VansTheMans Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 Flyers. Nothing like a 1st round rout to get the fanbase going. :thumbsup: J/k. I don't think it'd be a rout, but it'd be a good series that Buffalo could hopefully win in 6.
LabattBlue Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 I'll take Atlanta. They are clearly a notch below all the other teams mentioned.
Pville29 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 I'm not sure i want to see the sabres go against the flyers cause when they will start to lose they will start to play dirty and i don't want to see conolly injure again or a cheap shot from carcillo on roy. Phily is just to vicious for me i prefer rangers they will be no stress they goalie is ok their attack is ok sometimes defense below ok but the best would be ottawa in the 1st round but it's not going to happen but it would a good test for them cause if they wouldn't be able to beat ottawa in the 1st round they would never be able to beat any team on the 2nd round
Trey Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 I'm staying away from Boston, because I don't want Rask to pull some rookie miracle. However, some of my best memories as a kid are the Buf/Bos playoff games, so I won't be sad to see them. Atlanta can out skate us and playoff hockey shouldn't be in the South, so they're out. I like Philly's goaltending situation and love beating them in the playoffs (I really hate them), but they've played us well this year, so I'm staying away from them considering that we have more options. Besides, I like playing Philly as the underdog. Montreal would be ok, but winning in their building won't be as easy come playoff time. That leaves the Rangers. I feel like we can out skate them and that their goalie isn't going to go all-world on us. To top it off, the television and news coverage would be great for that series. They have my vote!
BuffaloBeliever Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 As starting point, I'd say Philly or Boston; Philly because they have pretty bad goaltending and I don't know if they can count on Michael Leighton come playoffs. The Bruins are simply to weak offensively to be able to fully challenge us imo. Yeah, they have Rask, who's showing flashes of brilliance, but he's still very young and will inevitably make mistakes. Bergeron is the only real threat on their team and he isn't a natural goalscorer.
deluca67 Posted April 3, 2010 Report Posted April 3, 2010 The Flyers by far. They have bad goaltending and the Sabres need to face bad goaltending to generate any offense.
