And Miller plays well after a bad game. I don't know how he played last night, but I'm sure he's not too happy about letting in 4.

Whoa, what's with the thread merge?

YES! Another shootout victory. The boys are getting that reinforcement early that they are never out of the game. Down 4-2 with 5 minutes to go? 5-4 SO victory!

14.9 seconds to go... I BELIEVE. GET THE TWO POINTS BUFFALO!

I expect this to be a close one. The biggest win we had all last year against these guys was 4-2. I'm going to go with 3-1, us, with our third goal being an empty netter.

I'll be in the chat as well. LET'S GO BUFFALO! Time for some revenge.

Awesome. The Buffalo Sabres will start off the 2006-2007 season right. I predict a 4-2 victory! Excitement is building!

"Hamel, a 29-year-old left wing battling for a roster spot with the Senators after leading the AHL in goals last season with 56, scored three straight times in a 3:22 span of the second period. He began the run with an even-strength goal, added a power-play score and finished the hat trick with a short-handed goal." Wow.

I can't wait. I'm ready for it NOW.

I'm back in South Carolina. I'll be going with my uncle's family to their friend's house for a gathering to, among other things, watch the game. I'm wearing my Chris Drury t-shirt which I wore for games 1 and 3 and not for 2 and 4. Let's hope it brings luck again. I think Buffalo scores in the first 5 minutes of the game to set the tone. Let's go Buffalo! I'll idle in the chat, so if you see me, I'm not really there.

I have to be optimistic: 5-3, Buffalo.

Throw out the games they lost, and they never let games get away? Who'd have thunk it. :lol:

There are several points that I believe are arguable in the Canes' favor. The stats here, however, favor Buffalo.

TSN originally had a picture of two Sabres cheering. They now have Emery and Volchenkov (?) with the caption "Disappointing finish".

Obviously, the key to winning a game in this series is GET OUTSHOT. ;)

Thursday, I felt that if Ottawa won, they'd also win tonight. I will not be disappointed tonight, regardless of who wins, unless Buffalo doesn't even show up for the game.

Dagwood, MartinHavlatIsMyGOD, and other Sens fans... You're welcome to join us in the chat.

For the first two games, he has been. Havlat is scary enough on his own, but putting him with Spezza and Heatley is something I'd rather not face.

With Alfredsson replacing Havlat, both the top line and Havlat got a little less scary.

Alternatively, you can download an IRC client such as mIRC and connect to the server. If you download and install mIRC, you can connect to the server by typing: /server irc.webchat.org Once you're connected, to join the chat, type: /join #gobuffalo And you should be set.

Don't forget about the chat!

I saw this with respect and sincerity to the Sens... NO :)

C'mon people. Get in the chat.

Going into the series, I thought Buffalo was going to win game 2, and I'm sticking with it. 3-2. Unrelated to game 2: If Buffalo wins this series against Ottawa, Sens fans will say it's because Ottawa choked. Guaranteed.

Arnason had 0 goals in 19 games with the Sens. That's with 42 SOG. And when mentioning technicalities, you don't include people that didn't make it, because technically they did not. Realistically, on the other hand, Havlat would definitely have made 30 goals. Arnason, however, did not make a single goal in the regular season for the Sens.
