Mr. MVP Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 Big game 7 coming up. Who would you rather win and get to face in round 2? Quote
TageMVP Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 TAMPA BAY PLEASE Had their number all season, of course that can change as the playoffs are no given, but I like the matchup. Plus, how bout some good ol fashioned retribution on Hagel? As in a nice cross check to the face when he's not looking Montreal seems to be of a very similar skill set to the Sabres, fast and hungry. Their goalie has been playing well, but I think he could be a weak link should we play Montreal Both teams are going to be a very, very difficult matchup, however 1 2 Quote
Eleven Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 I can't answer this. The Sabres will fare better against Tampa but suffer more injuries and be less able to win the semifinal. The Sabres will not fare as well against Montreal, but it would be one interesting FAST series and the Sabres should emerge relatively healthy. 1 Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 I think Montreal is better, but I just want to see a Sabres Habs series 4 1 Quote

Nacho Libre Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 No idea who I think we have a better chance of beating, but I do know beating Montreal would be the sweetest victory possible, so it’s a “crispy boi? Easy call.” for me Quote
Weave Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 I think a series with the Habs would be infinitely more entertaining hockey, so thats what I am going with. 1 1 Quote
OverPowerYou Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 I could see Montreal winning vs us 4 games to 1 i could also see us winning 4 games to 1 vs Tampa 1 1 2 Quote
Second Line Center Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 Don’t care but there will be ZERO Lightning fans in Buffalo and a good number Buffalo fans in Tampa. 5 3 Quote
Crusader1969 Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 Definitely think they match up really well vs TB their PP and goaltending really scares me though 1 Quote

Why would you ever want to play the better team in the playoffs? F these rivalries from the 70s. I want to play the team we have the best chance of DEFEATING 1 Quote
steveoath Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 I’ll take whomever. We got through. That’s all that matters. Quote

Dr K Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 I don;'t have a good enough grasp on which would be better for the Sabres. Quote

PromoTheRobot Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 (edited) Tampa all day long. 1) We handled them late in the season. 2) MTL is scarier to me. 3) TBL fans aren't taking over Key Bank Center like MTL fans will. 4) Easier for Sabres fans to take over Benchmark Arena in Tampa, and we will!

Mango Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 I was very strongly TB a week or two ago. But I think the Sabres really struggled to match up to Boston's playoff style hockey at times so now I'm leaning more towards a wide open match up against Montreal. Either way I hope they go into 4 maybe even 5 OT's tomorrow. 1 Quote

I voted Tampa for similar reasons. But I worry about playoff officiating versus regular season officiating. Tampa's clutch and grab stuff much less likely to be called in a playoff matchup. Never mind their rougher stuff. 1 Quote
Draconator Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 Call me crazy, and no. I haven't been drinking today. If we play Montreal, it's going 6 or 7 games easily. If we play Tampa, it's not out of the realm of possibility that the Sabres could sweep the Lighting. Buffalo just knows how to handle Tampa. 1 Quote
quill Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 It's hard to say, and I don't really care which one it is but if I had to pick, it would be Tampa because we know how to beat them more than we know how to beat Montreal. To me the Habs are very much like the Sabres, so it can't be easy trying to figure out how to beat a team that's just like us, can it? Quote
sabresouth Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 My only concern with the bolts is we are already nicked up. A series against Tampa will definitely increase the chances of us heading to third round even more nicked up. Quote
