    There is WAY too much confidence around here....

    Every game we play is now an elimination game. Ottawa is 8-4 against us this season, although we won last night, the team didn't look all that great and looked a LOT worse after allowing just one goal. They can be rattled.

    Granted, the pressure is on Ottawa now but they are a damn good team and have proven they can beat us, even on our home ice.

    So, let's cut all this talk about winning the series. Ottawa still has the upper hand. The Sabres still have a lot to prove. I know it's cliche, but we need to take this one game at a time. Let's worry about winning on Saturday- if we can do that, at least there is some pride in the comeback effort regardless of what happens afterwards.

    Op... it's ok to be a realist and all, but is it really necessary to stomp on everybody else's optimism?

        Death to all who have hope, in Op's mind. He needs to be called Darth vader, he wants everyone to turn to the darkside.

              no doubt ottawa, outside of maybe 3 or 4 periods, has totally owned us this entire series.

              but i have confidence that we can come back and win the series. watching this team all season, i have every reason to think they can pull it off.

                Hey, we know its going to be tough but now the Sabres may start to believe in themselves and it is contagious and the fans are believing in them...I rather be in Ottawa's shoes up 2 games but since we can't change the final outcome we mind as well believe they can do it. With 2 games at home you never know. One more loss by Ottawa and they start second guessing themselves.

                  it seems to me the one trump card we have is goaltending and that just may give us a chance to get back in this thing if we play better every night.

                      Yes- we look like a bunch of jackasses going around talking about winning the series when we were down 3-0 and are still down 3-1. We're seriously lucky that no Sens fans post here cuz we'd never hear the end of it.
