[neverenough]

Ill have a redvine and a bud light.No cookie for me im married... :D

I'm a huge Islanders fan today.. HUGE

Interesting subplot--two teams on opposite tracks most of the year. Flyers started out strong and have struggled of late. No need to state what the Sabres have done. Despite their recent struggles, the Flyers in the first round scare me...a lot. So much depth up front and Pronger coming back is a proven playoff difference-maker. Let's Go Buffalo!

Normally I would say I want a win and would like that to help us in standings but drawing Philly may be a good thing in playoffs. Just get the damn point so those freaking canes cant catch us.

These are the days I wish I still lived in the area -- to any of you going out to attend the festivities, have a great time and LET'S GO, BUFFALO!

[Oakstream]

So Miller and Kaleta or no Miller and Kaleta?

My guess. Miller vs Columbus

[rbochan]

Stack all 6 players in the net and just get it to OT!

Double that sentiment. I hope the weather allows all of you going a very good party in the plaza.

 

For the game I just want them to win out and go into the playoffs with a full head of steam and confidence. Then worry about who that ends up matching us up against after the dust settles.

 

I hear Miller is cleared but no starter announced. I am on the fence about whether they continue the hot hand of Enroth or go back to Miller. I could see playing Enroth tonight which may be the more intense physical game and giving Miller the final against Columbus although the last game with Colmbus at HSBC was one of the most physical games the Sabres played this year. Lindy make the right choice please.

 

Regardless of which goalie does play, I want to see them play the same shutdown playoff style defense that has helped get them to this point.

 

Lets go Buff'a'lo

[Wyldnwoody44]

You can say...."hey woody, I found this extra 5,000 bucks laying around, and I decided that ill give it to you" : )

[Claude_Verret]

Tonight would be a fine time for a repeat of the 8-0 shutout of the Flyers in the 2001 playoffs. :thumbsup:

I would love nothing more than if the Sabres blew the doors off this one and sent Philly home wondering if they were going to exit early in the first round.

Just watched the morning news in Philly. Pronger got testy with the media. He said there is no timetable on my return so don't ask. Of course, a reporter immediately asked when he thinks he will return. Kinda funny. Anyway, doesn't look like he will be back soon.

[shrader]

I better get the Sabres' broadcast for this one.

:clapping: nice.

[Stoner]

I imagine the Sabres won't take the ice until after the alumni hoopla. They don't need to be tightening up on the bench.

 

This one's a nest of snakes for the Sabres. I'll break down and give Lindy a pat on the back if he ushers in a win tonight.

i tend to agree. situations like these tend to work against the home team more often than they work in its favor.
