Guest Sloth Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 oof. The Sabres really are far away from competing for the Stanley Cup. I'm sad. And to think the Sabres beat LA in Berlin 4-2 in the second game of the season. And to think Vegas had the Sabres as a heavy contender for the Cup at that time...

SwampD Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 LA had same odds No matter what happens in OT, I'm predicting Jersey in 7. Winners win. Brodeur's a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biodork Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Going to OT. Great pace so far, and a surprising amount of animosity already between two teams who probably weren't too familiar with one another. Should be a good series if this keeps up.

OverPowerYou Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Devils fans were smiling and laughing behind Kopitar doing a post game interview. Hmmmm, I wonder where they found their free tickets? Maybe the NHL handed out free tickets to anyone so they could fill that arena. What a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Crazy to think that LA could win the SC having only played 18 playoff games. 9-0 on the road is insane... LA looked well rested and I'll bet they are not as beat up as the Devils are having had to play the Rangers last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weave Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Entertaining game to watch. Lots of intensity. I love Dustin Brown's game. Even though the shot totals were low I thought the game had plenty of action. I don't think we'll see any blowouts in this series but I don't see it going to 7 games either. It looks to me LA has this one covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dEnnis the Menace Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I forgot to post my thoughts yesterday, but I think Kings are going to win in 6. I think the Devils will only win 1 home game, and 1 road game, and that'll be all she wrote. After watching the game last night, it's hard to waiver from my initial thoughts. The Devils could not sustain much pressure, but they were able to capitalize the one time they could, so I guess that's a bright spot. It seems as if the Kings have four unrelenting lines. And as an aside, I am an eternal optimist, but wow...it feels like the Sabres are way off from the Kings level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre Dance Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Anyone else realize that Hank Tallinder has a chance here to have his named etched on the cup? Having said that, Kings in 4. Maybe I am overly observant about such things (and maybe it is the freedom of movement players have now with free agency) but it is interesting to see the number of former Sabres whose name has gone onto the Cup in recent years. oof. The Sabres really are far away from competing for the Stanley Cup. I'm sad. All too true. It will take a miracle in the off-season for me to generate much excitement about the Sabres come October.... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyldnwoody44 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I think the kings will win, maybe im crazy, but I really thought the devils had the edge last night. They had more high% scoring chances than the kings and just seemed to forecheck decent. I think each coach will adjust and I think game 2 will tell a much bigger story in the series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Crazy to think that LA could win the SC having only played 18 playoff games. 9-0 on the road is insane... LA looked well rested and I'll bet they are not as beat up as the Devils are having had to play the Rangers last week. The Devils had many opportunists to bury the puck and missed. The Devils lost the previous two Game 1s. Exactly, the Devils looked overmatched at the start of the previous 2 series as well, and ended up winning. I don't think they have what it takes to beat LA 4 out of 6, but they're nothing if not resilient. I still expect a long series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
