Archives for April 29, 2001

Jagr likely to sit again Monday

'Jagr wouldn't say if he expects to play in Game 4 Wednesday.'

Penguins insist they're not relaxing with 2-0 lead

'They returned home last year with just such a lead and a chance to put away the Flyers without going back to Philadelphia, only to lose consecutive overtime games. They wouldn't win another game in the series.'

Sabres ready to cash in on post-season tickets

'It's estimated one playoff date at HSBC Arena brings in $1 million.'

Conspiracy theories surround Sabres-Penguins

'And hockey fans around Buffalo know the commissioner would never compromise the integrity of the Stanley Cup playoffs.'

Sabres-Pens Game 2 "Sharpening the Swords"

Martin Straka, the quiet leader of the Penguins' second line, performed far better in the second game than in the opener, chipping in two assists and going plus-three on the day.

'Penned' into a corner

'Buffalo is 0-15 in club history when losing the first two games of a playoff series. Only 17 teams in NHL history have come back from a two-game hole. Only two teams have overcome a 3-0 deficit, and it hasn't happened in more than a quarter century. So you might say that Game Three is particularly vital to their postseason survival. Reality says it does not look promising.'

Pens bent on not repeating last year's collapse

'"The general feeling is nothing's over," Mario Lemieux said. "It happened last year: we were up two-zip against Philly and they came back and beat us in the series. In the playoffs you're going to face some teams that are very desperate – like the Sabres on Monday. And we have to be ready to face the music every night. If not, we can get beat."'

Pens seem to enjoy winning without Jagr

'What we do know, however, is that the Pens are more than capable of winning without Jagr. In fact, they seem to relish it. They barely missed him after he got hurt in the final period of Game One, and they put together a solid, opportunistic effort in Game Two to take full command of this second-round series.'

Sabres look to minors to solve major problems on defense

'In a hurry, Doug Houda has gone from minor leaguer to precious commodity.'

Minus Jagr, Pens KO Zhitnik, McKee and win 3-1

'This game was a brutal hard hitting affair.'
