I cant believe how they ran right through the west being the 8 seed

Giguere 03 probably deserves a mention.

They werent an "8" seed. It was in name only.

They man handled the Pres. Trophy team. Pretty impressive for a team that couldn't score for 60 games in the regular season

So... How y'all feeling about that game?

You think? If the season had ended a week earlier they wouldn't have even made the playoffs.

And I'm not trolling, I'm serious. Do you think the Sabres were awful or was it just a miracle that the Rangers actually scored goals?

3 goals off defensemen, Miller making an awful play, Enroth not helping. When you score 4 on Hank, you should win

The Sabres were awful. The Rangers got some lucky bounces but if goalie can't stop beach ball, you aren't going to win much. I'm surprised we got 4 goals on Hank. If you score that much on a top-5 goalie you have to win the game.

Much like this years Rangers they were picked to do extremely well. Rangers are no 8 seed this year either.

is that the one team you do not want to play in the first rd?

I would think so

I think the Rangers are worse than an 8 seed. They will probabl;y get a chance to prove me wrong though, because their schedule is against 4 bottom dwellers and Winnipeg plays all good teams with the exception of the Sabres.

sabres core suck in important games

I expected nothing less

Could be
Brodeur has been pretty good too in his wins

I'm actually excited for this offseason
I think we are gonna get a really nice return for Miller and Vanek
And I really can't see too many free agents wanting to come here, so we could see a very young line-up next season

Is it Vanek and Miller bye bye time?

I hope you're right. I predict they are both on the team come fall.

I still don't like the bottom of their lineup, especially if Boyle, Dorsett, Stall don't come back. They won't keep up with the Pens, or Bruins IMO. I think MTL might exit early

Out of the options there, sure, but Pens have handled NY pretty good sans that one blowout.

Pens just need to worry about the Pens. If they play their game they should like the results.

Penguins have not lost 4 games in a 7 game stretch once this season.

Time will tell. 1993 Penguins Islanders series is proof enough that anything can happen.

True but a random 7 game stretch during the season is a lot different than a seven game stretch against the same team in the most intense environment. Not saying that means they'll lose, but it doensn't guarentee they'll win.

I don't see how the Pens and Blackhawks don't make it to the finals. The only team out west that I thought could give Chicago trouble was Anaheim and they have really dipped in play lately.

Giguere 03 probably deserves a mention.

Roloson 06 (would have won if he didn't get hurt)

Nashville gets 1 point. Flames up 2 in the 3rd. Oilers up 3. I think if we lose the last 3 games we could get as low as the #7 spot for the lottery.

Anything can happen in the 1st round. 99 out of 100 times I would have taken Pitt to beat Philly last year, but that series turned into something it shouldn't have
