The Rangers schedule was extremely weak over the last 3 months or so. They beat the teams they should have beaten but still struggled against the other playoff teams even during their hot streak. Buffalo is definitely the better team and should win the series - but we all know anything can happen in the NHL playoffs
Anything CAN happen-However for the 1st time in a long time there is something SPECIAL brewing in Professional Sports in Buffalo--Harrington claims to have the "pulse" on Buffalo sports-well that CAN'T be the case here. Looking past emotion-Buffalo is the more talented team here-better coached. They have proved this from GAME 1 of the season with their opening undeafeated streak. Rangers are hot--I can see a no play if you don't like the odds--but if the Sabres keep Jagr off the PP they will be in great shape.
BETTER DAYS..................

.... because they're drama-queens who take dives and act and bitch and moan and cry ... I have no problem rooting for a hockey team ... I am just not into watching drama-queens for 3 hours
... and it isn't only me who accuses the Sabres of diving ... the New England TV announcers have said it and Boston Bruins players have said it too ... and I would bet those guys know more than anyone on this board (including the know-it-alls)
Let's get this straight, Boston is "bitch(ing) and moan(ing) and cry(ing)" about getting their ass*s handed to them by the Sabres therefore the Sabres are a team that likes to "bitch and moan and cry."
Buffalo's record against Boston, for those that didn't know -
2006-2007 6-2 (2 OTL)
2005-2006 7-1
In the past 2 years Buffalo has take an incredible 28 of 32 points from Boston, going 13-1-2. No wonder the Bruin faithful is bitter :lol: :lolBIG: :lol:
Over the last 3 months of the regular season, their record was 5-11 against playoff teams and 3 of those wins came against the Islanders. Like I said, they are playing well right now but aren't good enough to beat Buffalo. You could see their beatdown of Atlanta comin from a mile away but Buffalo is far from Atlanta.
Sean Avery announced to the NY Post that we was going to try to hurt the Sabres.
This is going to be an ugly series. Hopefully the Goose, Paul Gaustaud, will be ready soon -- he brings much needed grit. Losing Mike Grier might prove to be the biggest loss of last year for Buffalo.
