BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- Disappointed in letting the Sabres off the hook once, Ray Emery (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?playerId=1647) and the Ottawa Senators (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/clubhouse?team=ott) arrived in Buffalo on Friday confident they won't let that happen again.
"Not to take anything away from them, they had their backs against the wall and performed," the Senators goaltender said. "But we still believe we control our own destiny. And if we play our game, we're a very tough team to beat, and we'll win more often than not."
The Senators, with a 3-1 lead on the Sabres in the Eastern Conference finals, will get their second crack at clinching their first Stanley Cup finals berth in Game 5 at Buffalo on Saturday afternoon.
Rather than being down following a 3-2 loss on Wednesday, the Senators sounded more resolved to end this best-of-seven series.
"It's not pressure. We're excited," Emery said. "We've been playing well. We're in the present, we don't care what we did in the past."
The Sabres, meanwhile, are hoping to draw upon whatever good feelings they've generated after finally figuring out a way to beat their division rivals.
"We've heard a lot of rumors that it was over," Sabres co-captain Daniel Briere (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?playerId=102) said. "I think we gained a lot of confidence in Game 4, realizing we can still make plays, can still win games. We still believe."
In an attempt to continue nurturing his team's confidence, coach Lindy Ruff made sure to remind everyone that the top-seeded Sabres -- a team that led the NHL in the regular season with 53 wins and 308 goals -- didn't get this far by chance.
"We're not an 8th seed that snuck into the playoffs," Ruff said. "We're a team that went out and had a very good season. We won 10 games in a row. We've put together real good streaks, and we have to put one together again."
Trouble is, the Sabres haven't played like the superior team.
The Senators are 11-3 this postseason, and have yet to lose two in a series after needing five games to dispatch both Pittsburgh and New Jersey in the first two rounds.
Against Buffalo, Ottawa holds the edge in goals (12-8) shots (131-94) and resilience. Ottawa rallied from a two-goal deficit to pull out a 4-3 double-overtime win in Game 2, and nearly overcame a three-goal deficit on Wednesday.
"We've got a great chance to end it and that's what we want to do," Senators defenseman Wade Redden (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?playerId=767) said. "Last game, I don't think we had that same energy, but they certainly did. We'll be better tomorrow for sure."
The Sabres would be done by now if not for Ryan Miller (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?playerId=1549)'s stellar goaltending. Miller stopped 31 shots to prevent a blowout in a 1-0 loss in Game 3 and stopped another 31 to prevent a Senators sweep on Wednesday.
"They thought they had us in a down-and-out situation, but now they find us having a little more life than they were probably hoping for," Miller said. "I think we have a lot of hockey left to play in us. We'll have to wait to see where it leads us."
Miller played a key role in shutting out the Senators' top line of Daniel Alfredsson (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?playerId=12), Dany Heatley (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?playerId=1171) and Jason Spezza (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?playerId=1183), which didn't register a point for the first time this postseason.
"Well, he was good, but I don't think he was unbelievable," Spezza said of Miller. "I don't think he stole the game. We missed the net a lot on some quality chances."
The Senators say they might have been caught looking ahead in Game 4.
The Sabres believe their struggles are the result of playing under the weight of high expectations -- pegged as Cup contenders since September.
That burden isn't there, now.
"We're not looking at it as if, 'We lose, we're done.' We don't want to play scared," Briere said. "We want to go out there and still have fun and play loose."
The Sabres are attempting to bounce back from two home losses, and avoid losing three home games in a series for the fourth time in franchise playoff history, and first since losing a six-game series to Washington in the 1998 East finals.
The Sabres will likely have one lineup change, with right wing Dainius Zubrus (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?playerId=1061) -- among the Sabres best defensive forwards this postseason -- unlikely to play with what's being described as a lower-body injury.

[RedEyE]

Somethings that I'd like to see:

1) Stay out of the box. Sometimes penalties can't be avoided but Buffalo simply cannot afford to give the Senators any advantages. Player exhaustion was plainly evident during the last half of the 3rd in game 4.

2) Drive the puck in rather then slapping it down the boards. The Sabres have not been doing a great job of avoiding the defensive traps and have become excessively lazy beacuse of it. Keep the puck moving, spread the defense and keep it off the boards in Ottawa's zone as much as possible. The Senators play better defensively off the wall.

3) Hit the net. We need around 30 shots on goal just to stay in this game. No fancy ****, just basic, goalie crushing, puck slinging hockey. This team tries to finesse the puck agianst the Senators waaaay too much. Ottawa rarley bites on the pretty plays. Just blast Emery (preferably high) and hope the puck bounces our way.

4) Win more faceoffs. Ottawa has won a little over 60% of the faceoffs in this series so far. That's down right disgusting. I'm not saying that the Sabres need to win that much, but at least even th board on faceoffs and give your team more oppotunity to make a play.

5) Power Play: Better effort holding the puck at the point. All post season long I've watched the puck skip past the point as he fails to hold it in the zone again and again. this isn't because opposing teams have played the penaty kill better, it's because the Sabres are taking their eye off the puck, looking for the next play and whiffing on the zone hold. Better play at the point will create more scoring chances and put some well deserved pressure on Emery for a change.


Also, forecheck the **** out of that Alferedson line. Wear their asses out.

[shelby]

Those throwbacks are sweeeeeeet!

[Mitchy moo]

[shelby]

Oh my we need to start shoting the :curse:ing puck.

[Bufftp]

Yes shooting the puck leads to good things! :D

[Bill Brasky]

is anybody's feed blown out? i'm on ROC's NBC feed through dish network and the ice is so bright you can't see anything on it.

[shelby]

Looks ok down here Opie.

[Mitchy moo]

is anybody's feed blown out? i'm on ROC's NBC feed through dish network and the ice is so bright you can't see anything on it.

I have the game in over the air mode on direct tv and the picture keeps chopping out, it's killing me.

[shelby]

Damn!

[shelby]

Nice stop by Miller.
i thought Roy was going to score for a minute there:mad:

[Bill Brasky]

yeah i was wondering if it was an NBC problem, or due to ROC/Dish's feed.

[Mitchy moo]

yeah i was wondering if it was an NBC problem, or due to ROC/Dish's feed.

I spoke to fast, their having issues.

[shelby]

Turnovers:ill:

[RedEyE]

Someone had the wrong aduio PIDS programmed for the ASI stream.

[Meathead]

in engrish

[RedEyE]

I like what I see so far. I think their playing well. Stafford has done well thus far filling in for Zuburus.

[Bill Brasky]

it's sort of funny. the ice is so bright they look like they're playing in a cloud.

[shelby]

Red's here...... i can punch him in the face if things go awry.
:up:

[Mitchy moo]

Red's here...... i can punch him in the face if things go awry.
:up:

lol.

[Typ0]

I think you should punch Mikey.

[chubluv]

Well we are finally putting the heat on, but we have to score. get the puck on net with the point shots Ray ray likes to give up fat rebounds.

[chubluv]

Tv & radio arent in sync.:curse:

[shelby]

arrgh

[shelby]

SOG are even at this point. We need to put more pressure on Emery.

[shelby]

and if we could keep the :curse:ing puck off the :curse:ing boards that would be a bonus.

[pyrrhonist]

It took 4 games, but finally, Buffalo is matching Ottawa's intensity. :clap:

[Typ0]

OH BOY POWER PLAY

[Mitchy moo]

pp:bandwagon

[shelby]

The commentators are ragging on Kotalik.

[CuseJetsFan83]

1st pp of the day

[chubluv]

Think positive we can score 5on4.

[shelby]

:curse: Roy in the box

[CuseJetsFan83]

nix that

[Mitchy moo]

pp:bandwagon

no pp:candle: .

[pyrrhonist]

Why are all the right-handed shots on 1 PP unit?

[shelby]

Drury rocks

[shelby]

Nice PK...now keep the intensity going through the next two periods!
:oldskool:

[RedEyE]

in engrish

In digital video each section had designated identifier. For instance, video gets one ID, LCH audio another, Closed Captioning another and so on.

If you have the PIDS loaded wrong in the directional stream building software it just won't work properly. Like having the wrong ingredients when making a cake.

[Mitchy moo]

end of the first, 0-0.

[RedEyE]

Red's here...... i can punch him in the face if things go awry.
:up:

:respect:

[pyrrhonist]

Having to hear Fell Off Boy kills a person's playoff excitement. :mad:

Nice 1st period--No letting up in the 2nd! :gosabres:

[OpIv37]

win 2 periods- that's all we need to worry about right now.

[SabreEleven]

I'll take that effort with a little less give aways.

[CuseJetsFan83]

The commentators are ragging on Kotalik.
do you really blame them, they are correct on this point!

[SabreEleven]

I'd like to see a better replay of that Roy penalty cause I didn't see a penalty on that replay.

[CuseJetsFan83]

I'd like to see a better replay of that Roy penalty cause I didn't see a penalty on that replay.

i think it was just a gimme penalty back to ottawa, i didnt see anything but his stick was in the midsection when they switched over

[chubluv]

Is Emery hurt? The radio intermission report said it looks like he may have tweaked his groin on a play by Roy. They said Emery was cheating for the pass and then Roy shot it & he stretched a little to far to make the save.

Come on guys you can do it!!!!!!

[CuseJetsFan83]

goallllllllllllllll

[Typ0]

that's the **** right there...

[Mitchy moo]

scores!!!!!

[chubluv]

Thats what Im talking aboot!!!!

1-0 SABRES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pyrrhonist]

Good to see Kotalik get his head out of his ass.

Emery continues to show flawed mechanics in net. If only Buffalo could get shots...

[Dozerdog]

:lolpoint: Emery!

[CuseJetsFan83]

WTF was that penalty call for?!

check that, mistake by buffalo

[chubluv]

Damn another penalty to take our momentum away.

Lets kill this off and back to kicking their ass

[chubluv]

Great play Teppo

[pyrrhonist]

YESSS!! :up:

Hecht giveth, and then screweth up. :down:

[chubluv]

Another 5 on 3 what the :curse:

Not even a penalty

[MikeInRoch]

Dumb, dumb penalty by Roy.

[pyrrhonist]

Roy has been a huge nightmare in this series. ****.

[CuseJetsFan83]

drury with the save

[chubluv]

Huge shot blocks by our PK's

[MikeInRoch]

That was amazing. THAT is the kind of heart we need to show.

[Dozerdog]

I want Drury's baby now

[pyrrhonist]

Drury made a REAL play there to save 2 shots. That was great, unlike the non-play Meszaros made earlier (That the NBC tards were fellating, when he did nothing).

[chubluv]

Well thats why Spacek is sitting most of the game.

[SabreEleven]

Briere should have scored on that half break away...he had the whole short side to score.

[CuseJetsFan83]

sthuffering shuckitath pierre

[pyrrhonist]

When you're given so few opportunities to score (Like the Briere breakaway), you MUST capitalize.

[chubluv]

:gosabres:

[chubluv]

How do not call hitting from behind, but you call weak **** from behind the play?

[SabreEleven]

Wow, the ref's need to stop making this bull**** so obvious.

[pyrrhonist]

Holy Darcy Tucker/Peter Forsberg, Alfie! Way to take a dive.
As for 'Soft' Mike Fisher's penalty--That was a bad call, too.

[Mitchy moo]

Wow, the ref's need to stop making this bull**** so obvious.


it's sad actually, we need to Ottawa to get about 6/7 more powerplays. Their calling down from toronto to keep a canadian team in. Horrible that the refs are not letting them play.

[chubluv]

Shoot the ****ing puck on net

[pyrrhonist]

Missed slash?

[chubluv]

Does Briere win any battles in the corner? It seems like he gets ***** slapped every time hes down there.

[pyrrhonist]

No, he just can't skate.

[Mitchy moo]

emery trips mair, no call.

[chubluv]

Adam Mair is the Rodney dangerfield of the Sabres. He gets no respect tripped twice in 10 seconds and no calls.

[CuseJetsFan83]

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Mitchy moo]

Lydman doesn't get it on net and he is caught.

[chubluv]

What the **** this is bull **** we get no calls our way and Ottawa gets bounces their way all ****ing day.

[Mitchy moo]

We need a rally...............

[Novacane]

Nice back checking Hecht :rolleyes: Season over

[Mitchy moo]

What the **** this is bull **** we get no calls our way and Ottawa gets bounces their way all ****ing day.

this series has really been determined by bouncing pucks and missed calls.

[pyrrhonist]

(BTW, my last post was about Roy)

The hit from behind was no different than Teppo's hit on Blake against the Isles...like the NBC clowns said. But Mair got raped not once, but TWICE, and no call. Perhaps now, just exact a little revenge for the Neil hit earlier in the year, since the refs obviously don't want to work a Game 6? :rolleyes:

[Novacane]

Stop blaming the refs. It's always the refs fault when Buffalo teams get outplayed :rolleyes:

[Mitchy moo]

Stop blaming the refs. It's always the refs fault when Buffalo teams get outplayed :rolleyes:

sure, they have nothing to do with the 5 PP's ottawa had.

[OpIv37]

Stop blaming the refs. It's always the refs fault when Buffalo teams get outplayed :rolleyes:

if the Refs made the right call, that break out never would have happened because Buffalo would have had a PP.

But yeah, you're right, the refs have NOTHING to do with it :rolleyes:

[Novacane]

we're down 3-1 and it's all the refs fault. Ok......whatever.

[Novacane]

sure, they have nothing to do with the 5 PP's ottawa had.

are they not supposed to call penalties? We had a power play that was not a penalty too. Refs miss calls. It's going both ways. You're just not being objective because you have the homer glasses on.

[pyrrhonist]

Get real, man--Those were missed calls. I guess Mair dove, like Alfie? :rolleyes:

[Dozerdog]

Stop blaming the refs. It's always the refs fault when Buffalo teams get outplayed :rolleyes:Cool! Yet another quitter- The Sabres seem to respond to the quitters

[Novacane]

:rolleyes: State the truth at homerzone.com and you're a quitter

[pyrrhonist]

The series deficit isn't the refs' fault, but today's game has been atrocious. But then again, the entire 2007 playoffs has been.

[Mitchy moo]

:rolleyes: State the truth at homerzone.com and you're a quitter

Obviously Mair got tripped by emery, say what you want. The ref missed it or preferred not to call it but either way he was tripped. Emery was not in his crease when he did it so he was defending nothing.

[Typ0]

quit your whining. We're going to go out and win this period or we going to be staying home.

[Mitchy moo]

stat wise we are fairly even except the Sabres have 8 giveaways and 15 blocked shots versus Ottawa's 3 blocked shots. The Sabres are definetely playing hard, we'll see now if it's hard enough.

[Mitchy moo]

quit your whining. We're going to go out and win this period or we going to be staying home.

why is everyone trying to make a gameday thread?? It's just bad karma man, not good.

[Typ0]

why is everyone trying to make a gameday thread?? It's just bad karma man, not good.


thanks!

[pyrrhonist]

"Homerzone.com"! :lol: It's true some can't see the NHL without the blue and gold shades here.

[pyrrhonist]

Another great hit by a Sen. The Sabres couldn't deliver a hard hit if the future depended on it. :mad:

[pyrrhonist]

Let's make sure to take a penalty to negate this! :down:

Wow.

[SabreEleven]

Sabres are quitting right in front of our eyes

[Novacane]

You are right. Mair got tripped skooby. You are only seeing the missed calls against us though. Thats all I'm saying. We would'nt of scored on the powerplay anyway

[pyrrhonist]

Ottawa>Buffalo

:cry:

[shelby]

i don't know about quitting. They are being outplayed.:(

[Mitchy moo]

We needed a break, the glass going out gives us a chance to regroup.

[SabreEleven]

and can you be outplayed at home with your season on the line? How does a team let that happen?

[SabreEleven]

that fat guy in the front row can't get up.

[Mitchy moo]

You are right. Mair got tripped skooby. You are only seeing the missed calls against us though. Thats all I'm saying. We would'nt of scored on the powerplay anyway

Ottawa probably wouldn't of scored on our PP either, that was the point.

[Novacane]

i don't know about quitting. They are being outplayed.:(

only because Toronto is making the refs help the Sens ;)

[Mitchy moo]

that fat guy in the front row can't get up.

one more wing.

[Novacane]

Ottawa probably wouldn't of scored on our PP either, that was the point.

Fine. We are getting out PP chances now. Lets see what happens. If we can't score we have noone to blame

[CuseJetsFan83]

THE TIME IS NOW........ if we dont score, we're done!

[Mitchy moo]

5 on 3 for the Sabres..........

[Novacane]

5-3. Now or never

[pyrrhonist]

It's sad to hear people keep saying quitting. Give credit to Sammy the Sprinkler's Sens--They've been the best playoff team since Game 1 of the Quarterfinals.

[Dozerdog]

[Novacane]

bad angle

[pyrrhonist]

Is this Game 1? WTF with the turnovers and **** passing on the PP? :DOWN:

[chubluv]

How can Stafford miss that open net? Damn!


He had a guy all over him thats how. We have to start hitting the net on our shots and stop shooting into Emerys chest when we do.

[Typ0]

shoot it right at Emery and grab the rebounds.

[Bufftp]

Go Sabres :gosabres:

[chubluv]

Is this cosidered a cardio work out when are hearts are racing like this?

[Mitchy moo]

We just need to keep pressing Ottawa deep in their end.http://www.theoneandonlynorthpole.com/avatars/ottawastabbed.gifhttp://www.theoneandonlynorthpole.com/avatars/ottawastabbed.gif

[chubluv]

We need Drury back he is our heart & soul.

[Novacane]

I can't take overtime. We need to score now

[Mitchy moo]

drury is coming back, fresh from the bench...............

[CuseJetsFan83]

PENALTY OTTAWA!

[SabreEleven]

Why can't we fix our powerplay

Cause the Sabres make the same plays whenever the puck is in a certain spot and the Senators are sitting there waiting for that play.

Shots on net and dig.........

SAVE OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!

[CuseJetsFan83]

[Mitchy moo]

Incredible save by Miller..................

[pyrrhonist]

My heart sank--I thought that was in. Thank you, Ryan! :whew:

[Mitchy moo]

Playing them real, real hard.....

[Mitchy moo]

OMG Ryan again.

[Mitchy moo]

We lost, sorry boys.............

[Iehoshua]

Checkmate.

[Novacane]

Nice way to end it. 1 on 3 and our guys all wait for the other guy to take him. Ottawa deserved to win.

[Mitchy moo]

We played hard........

[LABillsFan]

Nice way to end it. 1 on 3 and our guys all wait for the other guy to take him. Ottawa deserved to win.

You're right. But Miller was out of position and the entire series The Sabres couldn't protect the lead when they had it, score on the PP, or control the puck in Ott's zone.

Gutsy effort but fell short.

[pyrrhonist]

2 straight ****ing years...

At least the injuries were an excuse against Carolina, but not this year. I tip my hat to Ottawa--They were the better team nearly the entire series.

WHY was the 'soft' line out there against Ottawa's juggernaut? Bad move, Lindy.

A great run, but ultimately, a failed season. That Hockey News article in the next issue is going to sting. :cry:

Let's go...DUCKS! :clap: :clap:

[LABillsFan]

Ya gotta figure there will be changes. You can't keep getting close with the same players and fail. It works against the players a lot of times. I do think they are a good time but a little small and even though they hit a lot, it's more of a bother than punishment.

[feelthepain]

Nice way to end it. 1 on 3 and our guys all wait for the other guy to take him. Ottawa deserved to win.

The Goalie makes 4 on 1!

[feelthepain]

You're right. But Miller was out of position and the entire series The Sabres couldn't protect the lead when they had it, score on the PP, or control the puck in Ott's zone.

It was about shots on Goal, the Sabres were out shot 3-1 for the series.

This is your warning ftp, come here and rub in it and you will get a week off.

I'm not rubbing anything in, I'm simply talking hockey. Was anything I wrote in either post untrue or insulting?? No, they were both fact and direct response to another post. I wasn't posting with hate or malice.
