The Sabres Edge | Apr 9, 2001

Sabres need to topple Roman Empire

'Can the Sabres beat the Flyers? Absolutley. What they will have to do is to fire the puck from all angles, make sure they challenge Philadelphia's larger defensemen in front to screen him and create traffic, and avoid shooting with a Flyer defenseman charging, as they are very adept at blocking shots.' … [Read more...] about Sabres need to topple Roman Empire

Sabres ready to hit road for opener

'Flyers coach Bill Barber didn't seem particularly enthralled with home-ice advantage. Not that he won't take it. "I don't know if there's any edge," Barber said. "You still have to win games on the road. That's the bottom line when you get into playoff hockey. For a team to be successful you have to find ways to win. "Home-ice … [Read more...] about Sabres ready to hit road for opener

Flyers wield psychological edge over Sabres

'So that's where the Buffalo Sabres find themselves, with the postseason upon them and the Flyers in possession of their heads. The Sabres failed on Sunday to dent Cechmanek's mystique. They failed to achieve the goal their own netminder, Dominik Hasek, established at the beginning of the season: home ice in the first round of the playoffs.' … [Read more...] about Flyers wield psychological edge over Sabres

Clarke expects a tight-checking playoff series

'What kind of playoff series can the Flyers expect from the Buffalo Sabres? Flyers general manager Bob Clarke didn't have to think long to answer. "It's going to be tight checking," Clarke said yesterday at the HSBC Arena. "You can never predict these things, but when you have the top two goalies in the league, you figure it's going to be low … [Read more...] about Clarke expects a tight-checking playoff series

Goaltending key factor in playoffs

'There's no getting around it. Playoff series often come down to goaltending, and in the upcoming matchup between the Flyers and Buffalo Sabres, the scoreboard (so far) reads: Roman Cechmanek 4, Dominik Hasek 0. If that trend continues, the Flyers might dispatch the Sabres quicker than the five games it took last year.' … [Read more...] about Goaltending key factor in playoffs

Cechmanek has Czech this time

'The Flyers saw a vision yesterday of their pending playoff opponent, and it looked a lot like the ghosts of playoffs past. If a 2-1 conquest of Buffalo was a preview of their first-round playoff series with the Sabres, the Flyers have every reason to feel as secure as they did prior to their just-passed seven-game slide, and as confident as any team would be that beat … [Read more...] about Cechmanek has Czech this time

Without Lindros or Peca, series takes different look

'But the Flyers-Sabres first-round playoff series that commences at First Union Center Wednesday night should be defined by the matchup of goaltenders, Czech national teammates Roman Cechmanek and Dominik Hasek. What it will miss the most, however, is the battle at center that used to exist between Canadian countrymen Eric Lindros and Michael Peca.' … [Read more...] about Without Lindros or Peca, series takes different look
