This is perfect! The stage is set... the Sabres got 'em right where they want 'em! I can already feel the pressure mounting on the Sens for game 6! Keep the faith!
Like I said before… the Sabres are on the verge of a monumental comeback! Are there any other teams you would expect to be in this scenario? Buffalo has been known for comebacks all year... Ottawa is known for choking.
Before game 3 I wrote about three factors important to the Sabres ability to get back in the series. All three broke for the good guys.
Kalinin – I said put in Paetsch for Kalinin… but Lindy just benched Kalinin… same difference, great move!
Luck – The Sabres need a lucky bounce to get off the schnide. Roy’s goal 9 seconds in is just what the doctor ordered.
Comebacks – This team knows how to comeback. They are at their best when coming from behind.
Sabres fans believe! There is NO WAY the Senators pull out a game 5 win back in Buffalo. The hockey gods are about to add another horrendous chapter to Senator lore.
I am far from confident like you, but I certainly do believe it is possible. I think game 5 will be very difficult, but win that one and Ottawa will have alot of pressure, and Buffalo will happy and loose! Here's to a game 5 victory, and one step closer to the monumental comeback!
This may come as a surprise to you but there will be a Game 5 that Buffalo will need to win in order for there to be a Game 6. Not sure if you missed that....
this series just may be a macrocosm of all those last second comebacks during the reg season (
what happened to the rest of my response???^^^^^^^^^^
Cleon,I gotta agree with you, except I would add putting Stafford back into the lineup.Go Sabres!!
i LOVE the word MACROcosom
It's a good thing the Sens have such a terrible team capable only of choking. The Sabres are guaranteed the cup, I mean... their fans came back to the once empty building, they have Afinoganov and won the Presidents trophy which guarantees the cup.

Geeze, nothing like leaving a comment and not reading all the way through. Now I can't even delete 2/3rds of my comments. oh well.
I think the Sens have a 60-70% chance of winning game 6. Especially if Buffalo doesn't step it up. If Buffalo plays their game, noone can beat them, but I haven't seen their game since March. That said, I like Buffalo to continue improving and possibly swipe game 5. Get it to game 6, and this is a series.
"If Buffalo plays their game, nobody can beat them?" Please, you make it sound like that team has actually won something. The Sabres have some nice forwards with good speed and a decent coach. Their goaltender is average (and is a stupid spartan, which is obviously redundant) and their defencemen are average at best. All we have heard all year long is how good this Buffalo team is yet they struggled against the Rangers and have been dominated by Ottawa. I think they are a good team that has reached its limit. Considering all the hype they have gotten, I consider them perhaps the most overrated team in the league. I must say I do like their new uniforms though.
