One of the best runs in NHL history.\nI've been a loyal Devils fan almost all my life. Now I live here in Anchorage, AK- where the Devils are a local favorite because of Scotty Gomez. Tons of fellow fans around make it really fun to go to the bar and watch them play. Hockey is taken pretty seriously up here. The talk around town is that the Devils have a good enough team to  take The Cup this year. Especially after this recent 12-0 run. My girlfriend is a Avalanche fan, so we plan on watching ALOT of playoff hockey soon.\nLETS GO DEVILS

YEAAAA they'll come back and take it all! Oilers suck and i think niedermayer is awesome! Go ducks and Joffrey Lupul and Ilya Bryzgalov need to save us!

Sounds GREAT! And we can do it, too! Ottawa is on the ropes awaiting the knockout punch -- and it's coming! Carolina is likely next and we can and will destroy them too! The Stanley Cup Finals will be a mismatch as we can skate with and crush ANY of the Western Conference teams. The beauty of the 2005-06 (and beyond) Buffalo Sabres is that the combination of youth, speed, skill and work ethic is unrivaled in the NHL. This is the winning formula and it means the long-suffering fans of Buffalo are about to experience euphoria when our proud Sabres bring home the Cup!\n\nLET'S GO BUF-FA-LO!!!\n\nP.S. Does anything top loser Leafs fans trying to mock our successful Sabres when their embarrassment of a team is out on the links? ;)

I'm a die hard Oilers fan but it sure is nice to see him come back. I always liked the way he played, and since the Hurricanes are down Doug Weight it's nice to see them get him back to make it a more even game. This is going to be a tough one I'll admit but I think we can win it. Game seven however.....Here's to the dream!

Buffalo, hands down, even with afino and numminen out, they brought in stafford who is an awesome player from the rochester amerks (who were also 10-0), lindy benched peters and brought in paille, these guys are awesome..., i know Lindy is working on this groups penalty killing tactics now during practice, Friday will show the progress, watch the game against Florida to see a blow out. Sabres Vs. Ducks for the cup  ----   Sabres 4  Ducks 2 regulation

It was amazing.  Great game by Mr. Sundin.  The Leafs' chances are slim right now (I'm a Leafs fan) but it's still possible.\n\nGood game by McCabe, Kaberle, Sundin, Nieuwendyk.  Amazing night for the buds.

Assuming we can get by Ottawa -- and I believe we can -- my proud Buffalo Sabres will win Lord Stanley's Cup and all of WNY (and those of us Sabres fans scattered about the rest of the world) will rejoice forevermore! :)\n\nGO SABRES!!!

the new recruiting class at North Dakota looks very very good.  Not to mention taeves will be back along with his little brother who is supposedly better but has off ice issues.  When you look at Minnesota on paper they should be damn good, however, they should have been last year but just had way to many individuals playing a team sport and i think you will see that again this yr.  If North Dakota can get that young defense to play like they have in yrs past then the sioux are the team to beat.

Well, Moon, as it's still only the first round, it is far too early to tell. That said, I do like what's been happening so far. As correctly predicted here, the loathsome fat-cat red wings of dread detroit -- the #1 seed in the playoffs -- were unceremoniously dumped by the underdog Edmonton Oilers last night in six games! WOOHOO!!! Also, over the weekend, the Colorado Avalanche took out the hated dallas stars, another favourite, so again: WOOHOO!!!\n\nWhen my glorious Buffalo Sabres remove the utterly hateful philistinia floaters tonight (or Thursday night, either way, they go), the happiness trifecta will be complete and my three most hated NHL teams will have been eliminated in one fell swoop (I'll save that last WOOHOO!!! for later, lol). I love nothing more than to revel in the victory of the good and triumph in the defeat and abject humiliation of the evil -- and this applies to EVERYTHING! :)\n\nBut I digress... One reason these could be the greatest Stanley Cup playoffs of all time is that we missed out on ANY hockey all of last year because of the NHL lockout. Hockey came back in its full raiment of glory this season with rules changes which have directly correlated with a vastly improved on-ice product. Hockey has never been so good! Another reason -- indeed, THE reason! -- this could be the greatest playoffs ever is that my Sabres are so awesomely talented that they could conceivably go all the way and WIN Lord Stanley's Cup! Were that to happen -- and it's far too early to say now -- I would die and go to heaven on the spot! (OK, not literally... I don't even believe in heaven.) ;)\n\nAs for my expectations, well, I'm quietly confident my Sabres will continue to advance after defeating those despicable goon flyers tonight in their hellhole home in philistinia (Can ya tell I hate that godforsaken place and their truly horrible people?). But can they go all the way? In the East, where my Sabres play, Ottawa and New Jersey will be tough opponents and they may have to defeat both to continue (Carolina is struggling badly with Montreal and I'm not worried about facing either of them). If they can get out of the conference, I like their chances in the Cup Final, no matter who they face from the West. But again, all that is a long way away...\n\nLet's Go Buf-fa-lo!!! Let's Go Buf-fa-lo!!! Let's Go Buf-fa-lo!!! :)

Moon, I have never been more ready for any game in my life, and I've been following -- and loving -- hockey since I was six years old! My proud Buffalo Sabres have played superbly all season long and have been THE surprise team of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Carolina Hurricanes have whined and complained and arrogantly proclaimed themselves the superior team from game one, yet here we are facing the ultimate seventh game of this series to decide it all. \n\nWhat do I expect? I expect my glorious Sabres to shock the hockey world yet again and defeat the 'Canes in their own building (where there will be thousands of Buffalo supporters cheering in full throat). It would be poetic justice and no team nor its fans could be more deserving than the Buffalo Sabres. I am so primed for this game and can hardly wait for the puck to drop tonight!\n\nAlthough I grew up in the Buffalo area and spent most of my life there, I now reside in the Washington, DC area. You will find many transplanted WNYers scattered about the country, including a large contingent here and in North Carolina. We are loud and proud in support of our beloved Sabres, no matter what happens. But again, we are going to WIN! :)\n\nThank you for the "welcome back" question, Moon! ;)\n\nLET'S GO BUF-FA-LO!!! LET'S GO BUF-FA-LO!!! LET'S GO BUF-FA-LO!!! LET'S GO BUF-FA-LO!!!

The Flyers have lots to prove tonight, the Sabs have some key injuries, anyone who thinks it's a given is delusional.\n\nI finally dumped Joni from my fantasy team and it pained me to do so.     I don't know what the Flyers can do right now, it must be very frustrating being a fan.\n\nPersonally I think Hatcher is a fossil, Peter can't be a one man band all the time either.  Like I said, I don't know what the answers are but I don't think Nedved is going to be a game changer.  \n\nI love my Sabs, but it seems whenever I underestimate a team I get my lunch handed to me.  I drop -12 Joni, so watch tonight will be his night....I make a derogatory remark about Nedved--he'll have a hat trick.  \n\nGo Sabs.....and good luck to Philly....after tonight.:-)

Bearing in mind that the Ottawa Senators are the #1 seed remaining in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and are devastated after surrendering their first two games at home in this series, I expect them to play desperate hockey tonight lest they fall behind 3-0 in the series (a deficit virtually impossible to come back from). So my Sabres need to be fully prepared to withstand what should be a powerful onslaught, particularly in the 1st period. \n\nIf Ryan Miller plays like he did in Game 2, we should be in good shape. If he plays like he did in Game 1, we could be in trouble tonight. He's doing amazingly well for a rookie goaltender in his first NHL playoffs, but he does tend to give up too many rebounds and the Sens are a high-scoring team who capitalizes on mistakes (much like the Sabres, btw). \n\nWe also have to be careful about injuries. Ottawa are a bigger, more physical team than Buffalo and we did lose a key player, Tim Connolly, in Game 2. He has a history of concussions and actually had to miss an entire season because of it. As I write this, his status is still not confirmed for tonight's game nor are the details of his condition fully known. This worries me.\n\nThat said, I am confident my proud Buffalo Sabres will win at least one of these back-to-back games at home (we play again tomorrow night) and wrap up the series shortly. Then it's on to crush Carolina (possibly New Jersey if they mount a comeback) and advance to the Stanley Cup Finals where our team will win it all!\n\nThanks for the question, Moon! :)\n\nLet's Go Buf-fa-lo!!!
