All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
I see the usuall suspect are picking Ottawa. Why all the doubt?
Well I still Believe?

We're deeper and we have better goaltending.
Plus, the problems we experienced in the first two series are fixable; we'll be way more up for this series than those, and I expect 60-minute efforts. We've only seen glimpses of how scary good the Sabres can be.

Ottawa is not a pushover. Emery is hot right now and they are also 4 lines deep.
I think you are over estimating Emery. He was still poping out rebounds.
Brodeur sucked, so maybee that is skewing your pereception.
He beat Brodeur so he must be hot? Well yee of little faith, maybee we have an advantage with Miller:

The GAA are essentially identical and the sv% are very close as well.
Is there a real advantage?
and this makes "EMERY HOT as an advantage how?"

This team needs to play a grittier game... they were out worked much of the 1st 2 series and didn't dominate enough the way a championship caliber team should.
The Sabres need to find the next gear or Ottowa will win this series IMO.... I just was not overly impressed with our play the last 2 series and I can't help buut feel they don't want it bad enough, and there sitting back and relying on thier talent
I am worried, and I hoping and praying we will see a much different team in this series...one that is playing like a championship team.
New Jersey and Pittsburgh are not nearly as deep as Buffalo however the same can be said for the Rangers and Islanders.
Buffalo is as healthy as they have been all season and much healthier then the last few times we played them...It will be a tough great series but you can't expect to win the Cup without facing great teams..Carolina just got lucky last year to play against teams that had unbelievable injuries.
Emery has not faced nearly as many shots as Miller..
