[GAME DISCUSSION (5/10/2006)]

We are playing the perfect game against Ottawa so far...

 

I don't even remember a real quality chance for the Sens, other than the Alfreddson one-timer from the slot and Heatley's shot from the slot where he didn't get much on it.

 

Meanwhile we have a goal, 3 posts, and 2 missed one timers into an open net . MSG just reporting that we have outchanced the Sens 7-3 for the game, which seems to be frustating the heck out of Ottawa.

 

One more period like this and we probably get a second goal on a stupid play by Ottawa where they press too hard to try and make something happen.

 

Holding the Sens to 1 goal in 5 periods of hockey is a pretty amazing accomplishment to say the least.

 

I think it's obvious that this is part of our game plan to basically play a trap-style and wait for them to make mistakes(which they are making a lot of). So far it's working to perfection.

They failed to mention that we hardly played our best game either...

 

Also failed that they lost because Zdeno Chara didn't feel it was necessary to hustle to the puck behind the net and Briere went right around him and shoveled it out front to Connolly and he scored to tie it with 18 seconds left.

 

Forgot to mention the choke job on 24 who looked like he was handling a grenade....

 

Talent doesnt always win in the playoffs....heart and desire does...and I don't know of another team that has more of that than the Sabres...and there are no better examples of that this year than Connolly and Drury....

OMG!!!!! What an unbelievable game!!!! The look on the Ottawa players faces was priceless!!! What a choke job by #24 on the Senators and what a shot by Drury!!! Sabres Win 7-6 15 secnds into OT!!!!!!!!!

 

 

This might have been the best game I've ever seen.....
