Well, it\'s clear there aren\'t a lot of hockey fans here, but I for one am stoked that my Sabres have won the President\'s cup... should be a great playoff season. I hope Tampa keeps it up, and I\'m stoked that the Rangers swept ATL... those hacks....
anyway, I also found this on youtube...this vid was taken last season, and our seats are the first 4 immediately to the left of the camera hole. I think I was even at that game.
Come on FATAL X, I know you gotta be pumped for the Sens...those assholes have had the Sabres number all year, if we face them it should be a bloodbath!:fighting:

I\'m from Columbus... I don\'t feel like paying outrageous prices to get into a game only to watch my team get pounded on routine basis. :(

Go Blackhawks?
Oh wait...

Hey asshole, the Bluejackets are rated well for having reasonable prices and a great stadium experience!
-
yeah dick face!
I think Vancouver or Ottawa is the best Canadian team this year...go..one of them.

Jeez man, you work for them or something?
-
Yeah baby, Sens through in 5, and with a shutout tonight!
Man I\'d love to see an Ottawa - Vancouver final, although not really, just cause I\'d worry about Luongo

PS - It sucks that I couldn\'t put that image in my sig between my name and the rest.

Been trying to keep up, but I\'ve been working so darn much. Was only able to catch highlights of our overtime loss the other night.
-
Jeez man, you work for them or something?
haha, that\'s my cousin that I was responding to and I was being facetious....
-
I\'m a little worried about the Sens... But if they can keep their greasy shithooks to themselves and keep the dirty hits to a minimum, then we should clean \'em up.... ;)
BTW, Ted Nolan is just as big of a whiny fuck as Bryan Murray, but without the ridiculous speech impediment...

wings baby
-
bah, my habs are out :~(
I\'ve watched all the pens game and I am pissed they are eliminated to.
I\'ve been following the Lightnings aswell, I wish they\'ll give the Devils a good kick in the nut for what they did to Claude Julien.
-
I can\'t believe that Vancouver has let itself be shut out twice in a row to even up the series 3-3. Out of the 20 times in history that a team has come back from 3-1 to win, 4 of those times were against Vancouver... could this be number 5? Some kind of franchise curse if so....

Looking ahead to this next series in the East, I\'m thinking Buffalo will beat the rangers in 5, maybe 6, but I think the lack of depth on the Rangers will show, and they will not have home ice advantage to match Jagr with Briere\'s line.
For my series, I think Ottawa will win in 6, but it\'s possible in 5 if they aren\'t too rusty from the week off, and Brodeur doesn\'t steal more than one.
I\'m saving my Ottawa-Buffalo smack talk and breakdown until next round.

-
Whoooooeeee, what a game. Ottawa\'s first 10 minutes of both series\' sure has been amazing..... Brodeur looked uncharicteristically weak glove side this game, but I\'m sure he\'ll fix it soon. Glad to see that the Sens got at least the split, hopefully the double on Saturday from Jersey. I was a bit worried there, the momentum really shifted as they let Jersey chip away at the lead, but it\'s hard to keep playing hard after going up 4-0 so fast.
Yes, yes, double post, but this is a special thread, so special circumstances apply. Where are all the other fans, Buffalo played yesterday, eh Chizz?

-
sorry, I was in California for a week...
Sabres played well from what I hear, I didn\'t get to see them. I will be watching tonight\'s game, I need my fix! The rangers were slow and ineffective, just like I thought they\'d be.
-
When Vancouver went down 3-2 tonight I knew the game was over. Luongo may be a superstar (and MVP in my book for this year), but Vancouver is really a crappy team, and barely a step up for him than Florida.
If he was on a team like Pittsburgh or Ottawa, I would be predicting 3 of 5 Stanley cups in the next 5 years.
Heh heh, lookin\' forward to tomorow. Got decent center ice tickets to the third game of Ottawa/NJ.

Booyeah. Sens through another series in 5. Everyone on the team is playing the way they should in the playoffs. Alfie lots of vigor, virtual MVP every night. Heatley and Spezza playing 2-way hockey, blocking shots even. Shutdown defense effective against top lines. Fourth line playing above expectations. Emery solid (not great, but dependable) in nets, with the league leading 8 wins now.
Everything seems to be on track, and now we get some rest before we face a hopefully pounded-just-off-game-seven Buffalo (probably) or Rangers team.

Sabres beat rangers in 6, baby! everyone\'s healthy, too, which is better than last year...little bit of rest before the Battle begins! What a series this will be, all fanboy mentality aside, I think we are in for some epic hockey here... probably be better than the finals, as we all know east coast hockey pwns the west! I\'ve been to game 1 of the first series, went to friday\'s nail-biter overtime win, and hopefully my boss will cough up the front rows seats for a game here...
Oh, and...
-
...;)
-
I think we match up pretty evenly in offence and goal tending... but the Sens defense is going to massively slow up the Buffalo speeders, and I don\'t think the Buffalo D has enough depth to match our offensive depth.
I predict Ottawa in 6. Split in Buffalo, Ottawa win 2 at home, Buffalo game 5 and Sens take it in the 6th.

-
Prediction on track.... I actually predicted a different outcome to a friend last week, but simmilar. Ottawa win 1 and 2, Buffalo 3, Ottawa 4, Buffalo 5, and then Ottawa 6.
I\'ll stick with my first posted prediction though, even if I really, really hope we win again Saturday.

-
that\'s exactly what I thought game 1 would look like, Sabres slow & giving up turnovers left & right...I\'m almost glad they lost, cause they completely underestimated The Sens picket fence blue line, and overestimated their ability to get back deep after dump-ins. Now they gotta figure out how to get more activity infront of emery, \'cos he gave it up smooth to Maxi on that first one...
Also I refuse to watch any more hockey on Versus network, those yobs spend all night talking about trivial shit instead of calling the game. Funny, they\'ll yap on endlessly sucking Heatly\'s cock and telling you his 3rd grade teacher\'s name, but fail to mention that he murdered his best friend and got off with a slap on the wrist... if that was you or I we\'d still be in jail...If I get front-row seats, I\'m making a "Dany Heatley is a murderer" sign. Also, since I\'m right near the camera hole, I\'ll ask him how it felt to kill his best friend through it. ;)

Well, my predictions were wrong, but in a good way.
I think that OT loss broke the Sabre\'s back. 15 shots in game 3, and it would have been a slaughter if not for the outstanding play of Miller.

no shit... sabres can\'t solve that D for anything...oh well, now I can spend those 3 nights a week taking care of my yard...summer is only 3 months here, you know!
Ottawa will take the cup (barring jesus christ being signed to the sabres today) they\'re like hockey androids, they are....
-
WOW! whoda thoughtthat would happen?!? Roy scoring 9 seconds into the game, sabres up 3-0 , then blowing it and almost giving up the tying goal with seconds left
Saturday should be fun
-
Sabres seem to be uncannily good off faceoffs from center ice... looking back they\'ve had a scoring chance in the first 20 seconds of almost every period in the series thus far.
Man I wish we had come back, but this might help Ottawa (ahh, the silver lining on a dark, dark cloud), cause after we beat you in 5, they won\'t have to wait up to 13 days for their next series....
Damn you crossbar!!
Oh, and Chizz, Miller can be awesome, but he\'s not going to save Buffalo forever. They need to get their grit back.
(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg243.imageshack.us%2Fimg243%2F5553%2Fgosensgoanimatedgiflz5.gif&hash=b9b8a2a4eeab0864a42059a61bb0475658436663)
-
yeah, it will be a battle, for sure...stupid 2PM game, tho
-
Really.... how the hell can we go out and justifiably party on the \'sens mile\' (Elgin) if it\'s 5 pm and light out after we win?!?
You should be happy it\'s an afternoon game though... Sabres have two stats going for them:
Haven\'t lost 3 in a row at home all year.
Sens went 1-8 this year in afternoon games.
You know, if you\'re a \'hockey stats make a difference\' kinda guy :p

-
at least it\'s not a 2pm sunday game, then all the drunks can sleep in tomorrow. Game on!
BTW, i\'d love to hear brian murray say "go sens go" 5 times fast... that would be hilarious.
-
Mike Emrick should announce every hockey game from now on.
-
Booyeah, baby.. Sens through another round in 5... doing the exact opposite to Buffalo as last year... 3 wins, lose 4, win 5 in OT.
Man I thought they were gonna do it in regulation till that 5 on 3.. Buffalo had better fix their 5-4 hockey before next year... two power play goals all series both on 5-3 (2 for.... 28?). Ohhhh man.. Cars have been honking non stop since 5 this afternoon, it\'s awesome.... Car\'s fully decked out now, gotta get some water paints to paint it this week...
Hoping to win the cup in 6 (so I can be near the ice to see them hoist it).

-
Yeah, obvious disappointment here..., though not as bad as last year. Why they always cycle the puck in that same predictable sequence on the PP, I\'ll never know. At one point, I was telling kyoko exactly where it was going next, and of course I called the giveaway and the subsequent SH opp.
Well, I hope your sens take it, the cup belongs in the East, and tehn at least we didn\'t get beat out by losers. Great team you guys got this year.
-
Ok.. since I forgot to write a prediction down earlier (is there anyone here from California?)... Sens split in the pond. Win 3 and 4. Lose 5. Sens win in 6.
(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg243.imageshack.us%2Fimg243%2F5553%2Fgosensgoanimatedgiflz5.gif&hash=b9b8a2a4eeab0864a42059a61bb0475658436663)
PS: Tonight was an interesting game... coulda gone either way, methinks... sens need to keep hard on the forecheck.
-
and they need to shoot more than the ducks do. I watched the last couple minutes of the game, sens looked like they would tie it, but whats-his-face stood on his head to stop the last minute flurry of shots. Hopefully, I\'ll get to watch a whole game this week.
-
Well, there goes my prediction down the tubes.
Nasty game tonight... With the exception of Philips\' and Emery\'s exceptional play, most of the Sens were pretty flat tonight, and when they did have energy shifts they were forgetting the team system that got them here and trying to do too much solo.
With that said, I\'m not liking the direction that officiating seems to be going in the series, if it\'s unchanged and Anaheim wins the series then it looks like the old style trap-and-pick play will be back. It is really an effective system if allowed, and everyone would do it if they thought they could get away with it (making a forward take more than one step to get in on the forecheck).
(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg243.imageshack.us%2Fimg243%2F5553%2Fgosensgoanimatedgiflz5.gif&hash=b9b8a2a4eeab0864a42059a61bb0475658436663)
-
I hope your boys will pick it up here, who needs team disney having the cup? Agghhh... must have been a hard game to watch, I hate one-goal games...you can see them coming a mile away.
Tho it\'s physically painful for me to say this... go sens go.
-
Tonights game was much better, although Emery did let in a softy and look a bit shaky for a while after that in the second. Fisher, Neil, Phillips, and Saprykin great games all. Sweet to be back on ice that doesn\'t turn to mush within seconds, it really made a difference on passing and setups, as well as with speed.
Shubert and Heatley really have to find their legs and recover their skill from the rest of the season (Heatley hasn\'t scored in weeks).
I wonder if the Pronger headshot to McAmmond will be reviewed. He\'s too valuable to be getting himself into any messes and if this gets him noticed again that will be twice this playoffs when loosing a (forgettable for him) game he looses his temper and possibly hurts his team by his actions.
In any event looking forward to heading down to game 4 on Monday. We gotta steal one away though, on their crappy ice to win the series, I hope they can do that next Wed.
(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg243.imageshack.us%2Fimg243%2F5553%2Fgosensgoanimatedgiflz5.gif&hash=b9b8a2a4eeab0864a42059a61bb0475658436663)
*EDIT*
UPDATE: Pronger got 1 game.
-
Arrrrgh!!! I can\'t believe that it feels worse to loose the stanely cup than it does to go out in the third or second round. Well, the better team won the series overall, hopefully this won\'t mean a return to the trap and pick next year, although it probably will, it having been so successful.
I also can\'t believe Alfie didn\'t get the Con Smythe Trophy... Head and shoulder\'s the most important guy to his team (I think they would have rioted in Anaheim if they had awarded it to him).
