[RGM81]

Talk about the Sabres and Flyers here.

Can Ryan Miller go on a hot streak and steal a series?

Steal?? pfft!

It's ours to lose!

Very nervous!

Hoping we can turn on this 'switch' a lot of fans are talking about? I believe there is no 'switch'. If we lose, it's our own doing.

It'll all come down to goaltending. Buffalo has it and Philly can have it some nights. There is no question Philly has a better group of defensemen, deeper at forward scoring, bigger and more physical and on paper should win the series. But if the team chemistry and lack of defensive cohesion, shaky goaltending and missing disciplined play stay absent from their game, then I agree, the series is Buffalo's to lose.

Briere needs to continue his playoff dominance and Sabre-bane play. Richards and Carter need to re-appear as they have been MIA lately along with Leino. They can't continue to hope guys like Giroux, JVR and Hartnell carry the offense.

Buffalo v. Philly, with Philly's goalie by committee I give the edge to Buffalo, especially with Miller being rested. We will see though.

Thanks, Karine. You know all too well about those

I do indeed, but I enjoy the earlier nights now I must admit lol...

How are your boys getting on?

[stop__dreaming]

Haha, definitely. When I lived in Canada, it was bliss having those times!

We're doing alright. Skating hard... but it's rare for us to put in a 60 minute game, so we'll see, lol.

I see you're doing well at the minute?
