Way to go Buffalo!|thumb

The Sabres are playing great playoff hockey and that's all that counts. As for Ottawa, they played like the chicken sh-ts they are (no offense to Sens fans on this one) and they deserved the early exit. I would not be surprised if this team gets ripped apart in the off season after seeing this type of performance. As for Emery - he is the real deal, sorry Ramster. The problem with Ottawa in this game was there was 3 players that allowed Chris Drury to skate in UNTOUCHED and undress Emery. Your goalie is supposed to be your last line of defense - not your only line of defense. It was ridiculous. There is no way you can blame Emery for that. I really like Buffalo's chances. They are the real beast of the east and whomever they square off against had better bring their 'A' game or they are done too.

I still think Buffalo vs. Jersey in the east and Anaheim vs. Edmonton in the west.|loony|

I do agree to some extent. The defense overall sucked bad!! Letting Drury walk in front of the net was terrible. What was Phillips thinking? I don't know. Too many turnovers at bad times too.

Emery played well, don't get me wrong. But he didn't play great and he let in bad goals at bad times. Even the announcer in tonight's game between Carolina and New Jersey when Martin Brodeur poke-checked the Carolina player said had the Ottawa goalie done that last night they'd still be playing.

Emery didn't freeze the puck with 10 seconds left in game 1. After a terrible turnover Emery let in a wrist shot from far out in game 1 overtime...a wrist shot. That series winner last night again not really Emery's fault. But Emery didn't poke-check the guy and let him walk right out front and tuck it in. You cannot do that in the NHL!! Though Emery did play good overall...he just let in "questionable" goals at Very bad times. Bad defense and bad goals allowed by the goalie is why Buffalo beat Ottawa.

Not taking anything from Buffalo because they are a damn good team of course.

How sweet would it be to see San Jose in the finals after Boston traded Thornton? Looks good on them for making a trade like that. Idiots. LOL

Well, there ya have it: Buffalo vs. Carolina - should be a great series.

I bet Koby has all the good tee times locked up already. :D

Carolina looks good. But I am now officially on the Buffalo bandwagon. :D

The Buffalo and Carolina series is going to be a good series. Fast young players who really want to win bad. I don't think these teams were even picked to make the playoffs this year and one of them is going to the finals. Goes to show you how young talent with desire can win you games.

The good news is with Ottawa out and Buffalo in my hockey pool is looking okay as I have Briere. ;)

Doug Flutie retires, to work as analyst for ABC, ESPN
 

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2445409

Doug Flutie retired from pro football Monday, ending a 21-year career in which the Heisman Trophy winner puzzled both opposing defenses and his own coaches with his unconventional style at quarterback.

Flutie was great. Loved his style of play and he had the heart of a Lion.

One of the all time greatest plays was his Hail Mary vs Miami, that is the stuff people dream of seeing.

Bonds hits home run No. 714, ties Babe Ruth
 

Barry Bonds tied Babe Ruth for second place on the career home run list Saturday with his 714th homer, a solo shot into the right-field seats leading off the second inning.

This is just sad
 

We just watched the Preakness (thanks to the DVR) and the Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro broke out of the gate before the race started and when they got him back in the gate the race started and within seconds the jockey pulled him back and you could see the horse was injured and as it turns out his back right leg is broke and this may cost him his life.

Completely a heart breaker….

Torn, I saw the race also and that was too bad. I hope they can save the horse at least.

Fuck Bonds |club|

Go Sabers :D

WHAT A COMEBACK!!!!!!

Down 20 at one point, down 14 at half Spurs take the lead for the first time in the game 104-101 with 34 secs left!!!!

Damn... Mavs win in OT...

I like the team, love the coach.... but every time I start to want them to win, Mark Cuban speaks.... more proof $ can not buy class.

Mark Cuban fucking ROCKS!
(and I base that solely on his HD channels)

LOL - I hate Mark Cuban - the players though I do respect (as if that makes any sense)

On a side note, the Minnesota legislature has given the US hockey hall of fame some more bucks to stay open, if our bastard Gov. signs it. (it also gets the Gophers football team a new stadium - so it should pass)

Not exactly sure what you hockey fans would do without MN hockey - NO miracle on ice etc...
Let's see, Boston College and Michigan take on Canada, that'd be about it :D

Have you been drinking? :D

The Minnesota North Stars are long gone and Neil Broten is a scout now. :D

LOL - Hey now, we all need a place to hang our hats.
Yeah given, Canada invented the game, just think we're a really close 2nd :)

Texas championship ring up for auction on eBay
 

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200....ap/index.html

For a 10-karat gold ring valued at about $350, bids had reached $10,599.99 by Wednesday afternoon from a buyer trying to grab a bit of Texas glory.

I thought that you'd have been making fun of our beat up defense with this latest post :D

Would I ever make fun of you?

Since the 'Wings and Av's are gone I jumped on the Sabs bandwagon... but those Oilers look NASTY....

Jesus, how can you allow a team to come to your building and get 25 shots in the FIRST period? Wow. Of course all those penalties might have something to do with it. I though Edmonton might come back for a while there but they didn't.

Sabres need a win tonight to put Carolina on the brink. Good luck. :)

I think everyone expected Edmonton to come back last night (and they almost did) But the good thing is that now we have hockey on Saturday :D

On an UP Note:
