shrader Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 You're going to bank your whole "Vancouver knows Buffalo doesn't know how to use big men" theory on two guys who spent about 30 seconds in the Buffalo organization? Two guys that spent their entire career up until that point in the western conference playing against Vancouver several times, but yeah, it's just a Buffalo thing.

Eleven Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Let me sum up my position in response to the last two screens of posts, most of which were from Drane, who doesn't get it. At all. It's about matchups in the playoffs. Always has been and always will be. And the Sabres, IMO, would have taken the Craps. Drane, you want to talk about that hypothetical series, go ahead. Your predictions from 2006 or whatever, well, nicely done. I'd like to see where they were made public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your predictions from 2006 or whatever, well, nicely done. I'd like to see where they were made public. I don't put much stock in this at all. On LGS last year all the post season talk was about it being a poor matchup when we played Boston. Same excuse, different year. You say folks like Dwight don't get it. We think you don't get it. This team was fatally flawed, last year and this year. IMO every team in this conference would have taken us to 7 games. We didn't have the defense, we didn't have any centers, and our wingers no-showed for the most part. I don't care what the matchup is, that combo doesn't win a 7 game series.

Inconsistent (why not a sweep, or 5 games or 6?). Defense was okay; centers are a HUGE problem, and still, the Sabs would have beaten DC. It's very, very often about matchups in the playoffs. It's the reason why the Sabres beat Philly in 2006, and it's the reason why the Sabres beat Toronto in 1999, and it's the reason why the Sabres lost last year. As for LGS, if I gave a f*ck about anything posted there, well, I'd join. I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I am willing to make a judgement on is actual results, win or loss. If you want to play "what if" don't expect everyone else to jump on and go for the ride. I saw a team lose and, frankly, not really be in 5 of those games. I see no reason to believe it would have been any different against a differnet team with alot of forward talent and mediocre goaltending.

No question. :unsure: I'm generally an optimist and I think that they might have beaten Washington, but I'm far from "no question" on it. I didn't see enough in the series, despite going to 7, to be that optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverPowerYou Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I'm tired of hearing about Kesler and the Sedins. Yeah, they're good, but I just don't see what all the hype is about. They're winning 6-2 at the moment but I've seen more exciting teams in my life. If the finals consists of Boston and Vancouver, I wouldn't know what to do with my self. I would like to see either San Jose or Tampa in the finals, but it's not gonna happen. :censored: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see either San Jose or Tampa in the finals, but it's not gonna happen. :censored: Let's see. They dominated the puck all night long. Sedin was drilled into the glass from behind, which was a clear 5 minute major, and he bounced up and continued to dominate. The Canucks are by far the best team in the NHL. They can win slow, fast, low or high. They have absolutely dominated this series so far. Aside from SJ being 3 for 3 on the pp, that is it. Their coach should be fined for putting that goon Eager on the ice. The Canucks could have ran it up even worse but played their 4th line on the pp in the 3rd. How you can't like their game is beyond me. They are the fastest "team" in the league. Their defence can do it all. They play every style necessary. This game could have easily been a double figure scoring night if not for Niemi. Hate away, but I'd hate to see either East team left win it all. The Canucks are the best team in the NHL. Bar none.

Go Sabres Agreed. I just don't see San (no way) Jose putting together 4 wins in the next 5 games against Vancouver. This series is done and Vancouver is 6 wins away from the cup. I felt San Jose was ripped off for a 4 minute penalty on the high stick on Thornton so that cancels out what should have been a 5 minute call on the Sedin hit from behind. Good win by the Canucks and they just continue to look stronger by the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how this got back to 2007... But Buffalo lost to Ottawa...outhit them...but took a billion minors...and was 0-for-May on the powerplay. Lack of size, maybe....but it was the skilled players that didn't deliver in that series.. ....the ones that walked out 4 weeks later. That and Alfredson ate the Sabres lunch in that series...I don't know if a big guy stops Alfie back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Looks like Vancouver got their scare from Chicago and a little bit from Nashville. Now they are running on all cylinders. When the Canucks commit to playing an offensive style they can really dominate. Looks like our sister expansion team is very close to hoisting Lord Stanley and I for one will be extremely jealous/envious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
