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!
please don't say the series is over unless Ottawa wins the next game, then still don't say it unless they win the next one after that.
there still is a lot of hockey to be played...and I thought we should have scored at least 20 goals tonight myself. The problem right now is we are poorly positioned and are going to have to work very hard to get into a favorable position in the future.
I agree it just didn't go our way tonight...You can't tell me without a doubt the disallowed goal went off his glove and not the stick (Ithought inconclsive would go with what was called on the ice)...How can the NHL have a rule that stopping a puck from going into the net by a player other than a goalie is just a penalty and not a goal....Then throw in some very bad officiating to give the Sens a 5-3...The starts were aligned aginst the Sabres tonight.
Nobody is saying it is over, but unless the Sabres show up to play, then it will be. I don't think that Ruff has coached that well in the playoffs so far, so maybe as soon as he shows up, then maybe the players will follow.

That is exactly what is the problem with this team. They just don't seem to be in postion to make plays. That usually is a sign of lazy play and in these games it will kill you.
The Senators are a cheap assed team. They had THREE clear hits from behind that could have been very dangerous and got nothing.
Senators took this game because they were clearly the better team but the refs get an assist on that 5 on 3. First penalty was a bit cheap but I can see cheap calls all the time. That second one on Zubrus tying up the stick was a huge BS call and killed them.
Sabres HAVE to play more complete games. I don't have any idea what their problem is. The go into hibernation for whole periods at times. To me, the Senators have ALWAYS looked like the better offensive team and that shouldn't be with this Sabres team. Their fourth line controlled the play every time they were out there.
Lastly, the Sabres HAVE TO F***ING HIT THE F***ING NET SOMETIMES!!! This goalie is not that good and half the f***ing time their shots not only went wide, but left the offensive zone and/or went right to the Senators in transition. Oh, those cross ice passes have to stop too. This just isn't the team I have watched all season.

Pretty much dead on. However, I think the product on the ice can be directly linked to Ruff's coaching this postseason. He has babied this team the entire year and he continues to do so. The only thing he has done is create a bunch of excuse making babies who just refused to sell out to make plays and do whatever it takes to win. It is an extremely frustrating thing to watch, but it just doesn't seem like it will get any better.
