18 seconds in! GAME OVER, Buffalo, holy crap...I need another drink.......

if the rest of the playoffs come close to this game, it is going to be the best ever

I think I like this new NHL ...

The beer was really flowing here in Buffalo. That was one hell of a game. Were getting (cautiously) excited here, but remember, we are 0 for 6 in championship game, so we are bracing for the worst.

Nice win tonight...up 2-o lookin good.
Are you watching this Devils/Canes game? Holy crap! Devils score with 20 seconds to go, up 2-1, and then give up a goal with 3 seconds to go! Are you kidding me?!!
OT coming up...unreal!

Looks a little familiar ;>) Canes/Sabres Conference final? Don't want to jump the gun, but Marty doesn't look like Marty this series.

Hey there H-T. Maybe you ought to polish up that crystal ball a little bit better. It ain't over, but you may be going down in flames...

[scott says]

Its looking that way now, but there is a long way to go. Buffalo won 2 on the road and Canes 2 at home, so the Sabres are looking a little better at this point.
Anaheim has 2 shutouts in a row, I overlooked them...they may be the team to beat.
The playoffs are so wide open, anything can happen!

Rookie Russian Goaltender. Not to worry. Russians always lose interest...

If I had a crystal ball, I'd be in Vegas. Golfing with a cell phone very handy.

Avs are getting outworked - in their own zone, in front of both nets, in the neutral zone, and especially in the corners. If they don't get it done tonight, history indicates it is over.

And my apologies for not having confidence in Ryan Miller. I should have remembered his days in the Spartan crease.

Okay, I live in Buffalo. We ALWAYS are waiting for the other shoe to drop. This team is different somehow. I guess this is no new scoop, but Ottawa, the much ballyhooed Ottawa, is toast.

And how right you were. Next up is Carolina and I believe Buffalo matches up with them quite well.

Buffalo up 2-1. Pretty crazy hockey. At the rate we're going, last year's entire Rochester Amerk team will be playing in the finals.

There are now three of the top five Buffalo defenseman out, two for the season. I'm hoping the law of averages does not catch up with the tram, but I believe that Carolina will be trying to exploit Tallinder being out for the playoffs.

It is now a contest between my heart, and my liver. I fear both may lose. Game seven. Game on. Bring it.

You have to realize. The city of Buffalo needs a championship. Just once before I die, dear Jesus, just once...

LOL. I hear 'ya. But I just want them to play in Game 7 like they played in Game 6. If they do, they can win...
