Buffalo Wings
vs
Ottawa Beaver Tails


(do not know what Beaver Tails are ...but it sounds rude)

Bald guy singing the anthems

not good

it's a job for a CHICK !

I just hope this series is semi-tough.

fans are chanting

me like

the tv/newspapers have been playing up the "bad blood" between the teams

but I'll be surprised if it is a tough series

Guess I'll have to see that hit again- Buf to the PP.

Buff gets the first pp





what this series needs is for Neil to lineup Drury and nail him with a tasty check
then we might have some fun

Well McAmmond failed on the shorty chance, but Fisher puts his away.

1-0 Sens

how not to play a pp
by the sabres

1-0 Ott
Fisher shorty

Buffalo gets another PP as Heatley takes a seat for a crosscheck.

The NHLPA fired Ted Saskin today


Buff on their 2nd pp

Gaustad is hurt for the Sabres, got hit in his (already) bad ankle with a wicked shot. He's in the locker room already.

We go 4 on 4. Buffalo with the "thug" hook.....

looks like we'll have a parade to the box tonight
refs will kill any emotion from this game/series

Too little, too late for the NHLPA. They never should have listened to him and Linden. The players lost all their gains from the last 10 years. Like him or not, Goodenow was a union guy all the way. I wouldn't be surprised to see Saskin or Linden (or both) get cushy jobs with the NHL before too long.

Another penalty, I think on Buffalo (4 on 3?).

Wow. Alfie wasted NO time on that one.

2-0 Senators

agree with the saskin comment



maybe if the sens make it 3-0
we might get some nastiness

Joe B. says there are 5000+ outside the arena, watching the game on a big screen. I'd guess it's a sellout.

and they are cheering
2-1

Ott are 6-0 when they score first these playoffs

Buff are 11-0 against Ott in playoff action when they score the first goal

I expected a comeback, but not that fast. This may be entertaining after all.

I was hoping(not expecting) some bad blood


But I think I can give up on that hope .

I am amazed on how easily a 6 foot 200 pd man can fall to the ice when touched by a stick .


buffy on the pp

Versus talking about the "bad blood" from the Neil hit as Buffalo goes on the PP. Sens doing a good kill again.

buff had 0 sogs on that pp
SHOOT THE PUCK !

Well he is on skates, and that ice can be slippery.

2-1 end 1st.

DSC time

I am willing to bet a donut that he will not be happy with the refs.

2nd is on

Preissing of Ottawa wearing the microphone for Versus, and they showed him saying "That was the first decent 5 on 5 shift we had- something like 17:20 into the game...."

2nd on.

Ottawa was 30-7-8 after Christmas, and supposedly Muckler credits a lot of that to Heatley and Spezza maturing. Might be right.

Ott to the PP.

Ott missed the net on their best chances

a few bodychecks there



alfie credits his improved play because he switched the type of skates he wears a few months ago .
says it made all the difference

Buff tied it up, Ott is on the PP again.

Net54 was having some "issues" for a while.

I was asking in my last post what DSC had to say.

2-2, end 2nd.

3-2 Ott
8 mins to go in the 3rd

Ott's been the better team, I think. Started out just like they did against Jersey- off to a good lead, gave it back, took the lead and is holding on. They survive this in Buffalo, they should be ok for the series.

Ott gets a pp

4-2
Spezza

they gave the goal to Heatley(looked like spezza put it in)

3 mins to go

5-2
en goal mcammond


see ya on Friday
