Will the Buffalo Sabres sweep the hated philadelphia flyers in their first round playoff series?

If that previous poster looks at the penalties that his Flyers were taking it is due to the fact that Philly can't keep up with the Sabres speed. The officals are also dictating this game alot, yes they are saying that your going to get pentalized if you hook or clutch and grab. \n\nGo Sabres!!!  Just admit the fact your team will be looking to next year, maybe time to drop GM Clarke, goon hockey is over.

didnt buffalo, ottawa, new jersey & carolina end up with about the same amount of points during the regular season?\nSo it shouldn't be surprising that the lower seeded sabres beat the sens 7 it shouldnt be surprising that carolina beat new jersey, whats surprising to me is the fact that nobody gave buffalo a chance except buffalo fans. The sens are perennial chokers  when it comes to playoff hockey & i think new jersey is getting a bit too old

It's annoying, but they're just doing the same thing any fans do when their teams get off to a hot start.  The football boards were all lit up with Bears Super Bowl plans until yesterday's loss, and the Sabres fans will cool off if and when their team comes back down to earth.\n\nI do agree that the shootout formula messes up the standings, and I wish they'd included shootout wins in the standings as they do with losses.  Still, I think Buffalo has a good team this year that has a shot to do well in the playoffs.

Are you kidding, Moon? The Buffalo Sabres have been my team since their inception. I was only 6 when they made their NHL debut in 1970. Gilbert Perreault was my childhood hero growing up in those snowy Buffalo winters I recall so fondly. Erm, those same winters become less fun as one ages, I can tell you. lol...\n\nAlthough I've not lived there in many a winter I remain steadfastly loyal to the Sabres and have thoroughly enjoyed this exciting comeback season and playoffs -- and we're not finished yet! Although we lost to favoured Ottawa last night, we're still up 3-1 in the series and I believe we'll finish them off on Saturday (Monday at latest).\n\nAs for who their best players are, please bear in mind that these talented young Sabres are a team with a capital T. They are something of a no-name cast who outwork, outskate and outhustle every team they face. I adore this club! The consensus best players are: Ryan Miller (their exceptional rookie goaltender), Daniel Briere (co-captain), J.P. Dumont (Briere's linemate and close friend), Jochen Hecht (3rd member of that line and the team's best defensive forward), Chris Drury (the other co-captain), Maxim Afinogenov (best and fastest skater and playmaker) and their younger future star players like Tim Connolly, Ales Kotalik, Derek Roy and Brian Campbell. I'm leaving players out because, by rights, I should just name the entire team. It's just an amazing group of players (and coaches) who get along great and support each other on and off the ice. I LOVE this freaking team and, baby, we are going ALL THE WAY!\n\nLET'S GO BUF-FA-LO!!! \n\nP.S. Thank you for asking! :)

The Flyers have lots to prove tonight, the Sabs have some key injuries, anyone who thinks it's a given is delusional.\n\nI finally dumped Joni from my fantasy team and it pained me to do so.     I don't know what the Flyers can do right now, it must be very frustrating being a fan.\n\nPersonally I think Hatcher is a fossil, Peter can't be a one man band all the time either.  Like I said, I don't know what the answers are but I don't think Nedved is going to be a game changer.  \n\nI love my Sabs, but it seems whenever I underestimate a team I get my lunch handed to me.  I drop -12 Joni, so watch tonight will be his night....I make a derogatory remark about Nedved--he'll have a hat trick.  \n\nGo Sabs.....and good luck to Philly....after tonight.:-)

I grew up in Buffalo am now living in Michigan. This would be a dream series  Sabres vs Red Wings.  Wouldn't care who won but if I was a betting person Stanley will establish residency in Detroit.

Bearing in mind that the Ottawa Senators are the #1 seed remaining in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and are devastated after surrendering their first two games at home in this series, I expect them to play desperate hockey tonight lest they fall behind 3-0 in the series (a deficit virtually impossible to come back from). So my Sabres need to be fully prepared to withstand what should be a powerful onslaught, particularly in the 1st period. \n\nIf Ryan Miller plays like he did in Game 2, we should be in good shape. If he plays like he did in Game 1, we could be in trouble tonight. He's doing amazingly well for a rookie goaltender in his first NHL playoffs, but he does tend to give up too many rebounds and the Sens are a high-scoring team who capitalizes on mistakes (much like the Sabres, btw). \n\nWe also have to be careful about injuries. Ottawa are a bigger, more physical team than Buffalo and we did lose a key player, Tim Connolly, in Game 2. He has a history of concussions and actually had to miss an entire season because of it. As I write this, his status is still not confirmed for tonight's game nor are the details of his condition fully known. This worries me.\n\nThat said, I am confident my proud Buffalo Sabres will win at least one of these back-to-back games at home (we play again tomorrow night) and wrap up the series shortly. Then it's on to crush Carolina (possibly New Jersey if they mount a comeback) and advance to the Stanley Cup Finals where our team will win it all!\n\nThanks for the question, Moon! :)\n\nLet's Go Buf-fa-lo!!!

It would be great if they did. They need to quit having the best record in the NHL and then lose in the first round of the playoffs. I thought you hated the Wings?

I believe Buffalo has a great chance at winning the Stanley Cup--Especially if they get past the Flyers in the first round.
