PromoTheRobot Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 I did not want to face Ottawa. I was concerned about facing Montreal. I would have loved seeing the Rangers. Boston is a team I think we can beat. Looks like a low-scoring series. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Well, the Bruins' announcers seemed to like their chances against Buffalo. It all depends on Rask for them, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bruins announcers would like their chances against the 80s Oilers teams. They are insufferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 The Bruins announcers would like their chances against the 80s Oilers teams. They are insufferable. They may be insufferable, but they did not like the Bruins' chances against Pittsburgh or Washington. They wanted to see the Bruins play Buffalo. And how did that work out for them in the 80s against the Oilers, anyway? Not even a power outage could save that team from the inevitable.

I know they are ridiculous, it's more so the other guy, not Brinkley so much. He at least tries to control his homer-ness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pville29 Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Well, the Bruins' announcers seemed to like their chances against Buffalo. It all depends on Rask for them, IMO. Every team like their chances against Buffalo. Montreal wants to play vs sabres cause they think they can beat them boston think the same thing i'm sure if they could ottawa would like to play against the sabres. Is there any team afraid of sabres???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePebble19 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 So, basically, here is the possibilities: Sabres lose to NJ: - Will be the #3 Seed and play Boston Sabres beat NJ, will be the #2 seed and play: - Philadelphia if they beat New York, either in regulation or OT. - New York if they beat Philadelphia, either in regulation or OT. If my thoughts are correct, I don't think there is any way we can play Montreal in the first round, right?. If NY wins, they will be tied with MON in Points and Wins. Next tiebreaker is Goals For, and NY has them beat on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Now it is down to the final game as far and Boston or Montreal.... Buffalo loses they play Boston, they win they play Philly if Philly beats NYR in its last game. Looks like Philly has more wins than Montreal and but not the NYR and if they tie in points who gets the tie breaker between NYR and Montreal... not sure. They would be tied in points. NYR can only get in if they beat Philly tomorrow. Montreal cannot move up. They do not have any more games, but they are in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only team we can't play is NYR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djwilli3 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Yeah, Buffalo playing Boston is far from a definitive certainty. If Buffalo wins the game tomorrow against NJ, Buffalo is second and we can't play Boston, b/c Boston is locked into the sixth. If the Rangers win, we play Montreal. If the Goon Squad wins, we play Philly. If we lose, or win in OT or SO, we play Boston. Way to many scenarios for anything to be certain. That being said, for those who think we won't play well against Boston because of that last game, keep in mind we were down several starters to injury and rest. Miller didn't play, Connolly didn't play, Vanek didn't play. And if you don't think it would have made a difference, check the box score tomorrow on the Ottawa game. I think Miller and Vanek being in the lineup would have made a huge difference against the Bruins. If it is Boston, I say Buff in 6. We beat Philly in 5 or 6 and Montreal in 7. Second round, not so sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assquatch Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Please, I really want a way to see the Sabres against the Flyers in the first round. I just do. The Sabres get the Flyers (if they make it) if the Sabres win in regulation today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matter2003 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 All but certain? Are you kidding me? It's not even close to certain. Sabres will determine that by winning or losing today...I really don't want to play Boston---not because i am scared of them, but because we will be watching 2-1 snoozers all series long...

ntjacks79 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 All but certain? Are you kidding me? It's not even close to certain. +1. Win over New Jersey and Sabres CAN'T face Boston. That's about as uncertain as you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted April 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Just to explain myself and this thread I did not think we'd beat Ottawa. That's why I was so sure we were going to finish #3. That win against the Sens was huge in many ways. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTR I agree...mentally they needed that in case they face the Sens in later rounds...Thomas Vanek looked possessed...where has that been all year?? Maybe he should be injured more?

bunomatic Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Well I believe Boston took 4 out of 6 against us so they have to be feeling pretty confident.Rask can be a gamebreaker but so can Miller.This should be a great series.I just can't stand the Boston commentators and their one sided play by play so hopefully I'll be able to get the Buffalo feed.
