ExiledInIllinois Posted May 29, 2006 Report Posted May 29, 2006 be right! Great game Sabres... I am really proud of the effort! And, I mean this will all sincere feelings!! There is a siver lining... I am far from being depressed about this game 5. I thought I would be worse... Buffalo played VERY WELL... Many predicted this to go 7... And in most, I say most scenarios, that means Buffalo LOSING game 5. No team is gonna win 3 in a row this series and Buffalo is not gonna lose two out of three to the Hurricanes... Luck just wasn't on their side tonight. Would have been nice to win it in Buffalo and close it out... Has that happened with this team? NO! They are gonna close it out on the road and win the Cup at home... :D :D Again, game number 5 would have been nice... I think they would have been off if they won tonight for game 6... IMO. So, look at it this way... It was basically a best of 3 series now... Buffalo still has got to win in Carolina, it didn't happen tonight, so move on. All the people saying Buffalo in 6... Buffalo would HAVE STILL needed to win game 6, except now it becomes mandatory... So what is the big deal? Yes, gut wrentching and a close one in OT... THEY ARE SOWING THEIR DESTINY. Also Laviolette has showed his hand with his goaltenders... It WON'T work anymore... We get to face a Cam Ward that can be shakey in game 6... I would have felt a little worse if they pulled off this game 5 win with Gerber still in net. You now read it here first. Buffalo WINS game 6, they were gonna win it anyway :D :D and close out the series... That plan has changed and the "rematch" of game 5 will be on Thursday at RBC for a game seven... And Buffalo WILL WIN! Why is it gonna happen?... Just because it is. 80% of the winners that win game 5 win the series... That is a 20% of the teams come back to take the series, a big 20% and it IS BUFFALO'S YEAR... I would want it NO OTHER WAY if I could mail order it in and get what I want. Again, this is Buffalo's year! Go Sabres, this is their first taste of a must win so far... All great teams pull it out... There has only been ONE seven game series this playoff... I like Buffalo's chances and odds. Again, Game 6 still would have had to be in Buffalo's favor to win this thing if we won tonight (well almost)... I couldn't stomach another loss at home... And two out of three in Carolina (at this point) would have been uncalled for. Carolina still has the home ice and nothing has changed. And no way was Buffalo gonna win in Carolina (game 5 and 7) and lose in Buffalo game 6. I am really at peace with theis game than all the others... Buffalo showed what they have and it is awesome! So what is to worry?... Till Tuesday... I will still be lurking, but I won't add anything to any negative energy. It will happen and I will be here to post my thoughts. Relax, have a beer and savor how great this run will be! :D
IceFISH Posted May 29, 2006 Report Posted May 29, 2006 Right on! Gonna make for some great hockey this week. Sabres can pull this off. I think they played well...they will just ahve to finish some scoring next couple of games.
The Goat Posted May 29, 2006 Report Posted May 29, 2006 Your post was excellent. I disagree with your predictions but I agree with the sentiment. I make no predictions other than to say that this will continue to be the best series of the playoffs and the best the NHL has seen in years. And while I hate to bring in any negative energy I just have to say the Tragically Hip are a bunch of burn outs, with a wannabe Bob Dylan lead singer who haven't written a good tune in 12 years. Fully Completely was a great album though :) The Goat

Don't say you are not making any predictions because only ONE of two teams can win. Now is not the time to ride the fence. You are a good man Goat and good men are hard to take down! ;) ;) But, they have to fall at times in favor of other good men... ;) ;) A good hockey line none the less by "the Hip." What is there to lose at this point? Absolutely nothing.

Should this series go to a seventh game I know who I am putting my money on :) The Goat
The Goat Posted May 29, 2006 Report Posted May 29, 2006 Anybody else find it humorous that there is a thread entitled "It's All Over" directly below one entitled "Look At It This Way...This Isn't Bad"? The Goat
ExiledInIllinois Posted May 29, 2006 Author Report Posted May 29, 2006 Anybody else find it humorous that there is a thread entitled "It's All Over" directly below one entitled "Look At It This Way...This Isn't Bad"? The Goat No. I fully expected it. Two sides of the coin... Why would it be humorous? Some people fear being "injured" so they will shroud themselves in negative thoughts to some how prepare them for what they feel is the inevitable. Some will say "it is all over"... And can be countered with "what if it is not." "What is acceptable we call acceptable; what is unacceptable we call unacceptable. A road is made by people walking on it, and thusly things are so because they are called so. What make them so? Making them so makes them so. What makes them not so? Making them not so makes them not so. Things all must have that which is so and things all must have that which is acceptable. There is nothing that is not so, nothing that is not acceptable."
