Knightrider Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 I actually think he won't have to do too much of that. Right now, there is no room to relax, because they are taking a physical beating. Win three and four, and rest up and get healthy for the next series. Lose one or both, and I think the winning team of this series emerges a little too battered go all the way.

LabattBlue Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Each game should be taken as it is Game 7 and there is no tommorrow... Amen to that. The Sabres have placed the noose around the Senators necks and they are starting to tighten it. FINISH THEM IN GAMES 3 & 4 and don't give them any hope.

DWarner Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Sabres were great at home in 1st round. Being in the Bank will be a huge help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Maybe he should remind them of the Habs-Hurricanes series, too. NO nights off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad1 Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Maybe he should remind them of the Habs-Hurricanes series, too. NO nights off. With all due respect to the Canadiens, the gap between the Sens and Sabres is much narrower than the gap between the Habs and the Canes. The Sabres only finished 3 points behind Ottawa, and that difference was really due to the two teams' play in October and November, not during January through April. Even with that said, the Sens could still pull out game 3, much in the way that Philly won game 4. Pound the Sabres down low and have Emery come up big when the Sabres break out (because they will). Esche stopped 5 odd-man rushes in game 4, including a penalty shot. Can Emery do the same? It'll be interesting to see if Ruff will open up the forecheck a bit more, especially early in the game, riding the emotion of the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Ottawa is going to come out playing for their lives on Wed. We will need to match their intensity, which I think we will. Assuming roughly equal levels of effort, the game will again come down to goaltending. If Miller stays in the zone, we will win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punish them. The Sens have never been challenged all season and they are coming unglued because a team won't lay down in awe of them. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 I don't think Emery will come up big cause he has no one to worry about coming in to replace him. Hasek won't play, and Morrisson couldn't win with the oilers in the west, he is the only hope they have. Philly had 2 decent goalies who could start for them and you would not see much of a drop off.
