Car /Buf

the home team has won 62% of game 7's
car are 0 and 3 in game 7's
buff are 1 and 4

almost HOLLY time !

game is on

Buf gets an early pp
the team that scores the first goal has won the last 6 game 7's

Williams gets a sh breakaway (misses the net)
but Buff gets a pen on it
4 on 4 hockey

just over 14 mins to go
Car has been the better team so afr

Car going onto the pp

hahahahaha that was my exact title, if I had started the thread.

Game 7.

'Nuf said.

Car needs to start hitting the net with their shots !

pp killed

McKee sits this one out with an injury- got to be a killer, to miss a game 7.

Sabres holding their own, so far.

Had the game on mute, as I was finishing up "Exile" on the CD thingy.

I should have it on mute also
I cannot stand Pierre Maguire !


Hmmmmm Exile

I get the feeling that this will be another low scoring affair

buff seems to have taken over the game
at least the last few shifts

oops
Car scores
1-0

puck hits Mair then hits Stillman and it ends up in the net

The rest of this game should be killer, now.

puck never hit Stillman
Commodore gets the goal

Few penalties, no stoppages..... the way the game should be played.

5 on 5 hockey is always good

I'm surprised the crowd isn't louder. I've been in RBC when you couldn't hear yourself think.

Car gets a pp
I am iffy on that one


I was going to mention that the crowd did not seem as noisy as usual
but the tsn guys just said that there are a lot of Buf fans in the crowd
maybe they are bring the noise level down

per ends
1-0

I give the per Thumbs up

Canes' PP.

I'm so thrilled- I'm going to Hershey for Game 3 of the Calder Cup Finals. Never been to a finals game of any kind (in '98, I went to every Caps' home playoff game up to the SCF, but wisely didn't go to a Finals game). Been to a MLB baseball All-Star game, been to an NFL playoff game, but never a final of any kind.

Back in the old days , I went to a few New West Bruins WHL final games
Thats about it for me

I am sure Hershey will Rock !

I hope so. And I really should qualify that by saying I meant professional final. I've seen at least 3 state championship finals for high school basketball.

oops
forgot my weather eport

it was cloudy and muggy all day here
now there are showers coming down

2nd is on

this per has started out a little slowly

Thunder here, muggy, hot all day, but no rain yet.

car is now getting some good chances

nice hit by Ladd

some pushing and shoving
(you know no one is going to drop the mittens..........so why bother with the scrums?)

Buff only had 7 sogs in the 1st
they have 0 sogs in the 2nd so far

Can't win if they don't put it on net.

I still dislike Mcguire but I agrre with his comment towards Briere
basically he needs to start playing hockey and stop looking at the refs
he has gone down rather easily tonight

Now the crowd is getting into it.

SOGs 5-2 in the period, 15-9 in the game.

Weight is still sporting a tasty shiner


I kinda think Car needs the next goal
Buff cannot be too upset that they are only down by a goal right now

Go ahead and say it, then....

the next goal will be a big one !


Buff gets a pp

This is terrific, end-to-end hockey. Both goalies on their game.....

if it's like this to the end of the game, I'll be satisfied.

4 on 4.

Goal off the faceoff, with a little screen.....

1-1.

now the next goal will definitely be BIG !

final minute already ?
this game is buzzing along

3 ticks left and Buff scores
puck off a skate

:04.8 when it crosses the line.....

2-1 Sabres.

I know that it was a flukey goal but Ward needs to have his skate firmly on the post
I am not blaming him but the overhead view showed if he had his skate snug to the post..........there would have been no goal .


now I must go and pay my rent
I hate giving away money !

3rd about to start

I am pulling for Car because Ruff has rubbed me the wrong way during these playoffs
The guy whines too much
plus a Car/Ed match up seems to pique my juices much more than a Buff/Ed one
Although I really do not know why

2-2 Weight scores

Maybe it's the health issue- I want to see the best against Ed they can find. Carolin seems to be in much better physical shape than the Sabres.

I'll say it once again
the next goal will be a big one.

here is a blast from the past
the last time the Canes org(as the whalers) was in a game 7 was in 1992
they lost in double OT right after Harty YVON CORRIVEAU hit the post

tsn guys are questioning the Car coach
say he isn't taking advantage of home ice addy
not matching lines and has failed to take advantage of the last change

car gets a pp

Brindy pots a pp goal
3-2 Car

Buff gets a late pp
(I kinda was expecting this one)

Buf gets a late PP..... this is the season, right here.

I am at odds here
on one hand....................OT would be nice

on the other hand................I want Car to win

it was 98 degrees in Car today
Hockey weather !

pp killed
2 mins to go

1:08.... Buf gets this in, they need to pull Miller quick.

Williams
4-2

Buff are done

Congrats to the Canes and their fans- good work to get where they're at.

Go get 'em, Ed!

I say Ed in 6
(ED will be rusty to start the series or else I would say 5 games)
game over
Car wins
