I'm pretty much gonna go out on a limb here and say that the 'Canes are pretty much unbeatable. I mean just look at what they did to the Devils. Any other predictions?

Yeah, just for that, I got to back the Sabres now ...I don't like unbeatable teams...and Miller is playing well...

[pete_b]

So Gotham is this an emotional pick for you? I mean its not a logical one thats for sure. Do you really think that the Sabres has what it takes defensively to take on these guys?

[ThePundit]

I would love to see Carolina win. Maybe that will be the final straw for Charles Wang to push Milbury out the door. He allowed Milbury to fire Peter Laviolette 2 years ago.

Buffalo wins game 1. They were one of the worst teams last year. It goes to show you, a good GM can turn your hockey team around and do it quickly.

I think so, and have from the start.
Sabres skated tiny rings around them.

Well its all tied up. I just love playoff Hockey. The 'Canes are just gonna roll by these guys I hope and save some energy for the finals. Regardless I'm thinking that the Conference Finals is a better match up no matter who the Canes meet in the Finals. And yes I am assuming that the 'Canes win.

Now Pete...you know better than to count your finals before they are hatched...Go Sabres...

[blueandwhite]

With it tied one-one, i was going to say the same thing - do not write the sabres off.

[pete_b]

Chalk up another one not only for the Sabres but also for Gotham and blueandwhite. I hope I do not end up eating my words here. This is getting scary. Whats happening out there today?

[blueandwhite]

Much celebration and i told you sos.
No. There was an article in the Toronto paper, how so many canadians from this area are more for sabres than they are for edmonton - because edmonton is from a different province, a province with its own agenda - and I think it is very true. alot of sabres fans are feeling more confident, for sure.
Briere is a star.
Ward got pulled, eh? the commentators kept saying, "Those goals weren't ward's fault", and yeah, they pull the goalie for a whole morale shift but still - Ward got pulled.

Hey, we will be offering statehood this the Eastern Side of Cananda shortly...

Yeah, Ward got pulled, I just can't see that being a morale booster...in the back of the Hurricanes minds they got to be saying..."oh, oh...we are beateable...out goalie is getting yanked."

[pete_b]

Yeah well who cares who got yanked cuz the Sabres got BLANKED. By a score of 4-0 the 'Canes showed the Sabres who was boss. With Gerber back in the net the 'Canes are back in the series...WHEW... link http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/27/sp.../27sabres.html

Its just going to make the fall from the top that much harder to take...Sabres in 7 has a ring to it...

[blueandwhite]

You're spunky, GDK. I like the sound of that. Sabres in seven - has a certain sibilance.
bring it on.
