    I'm loving the lead, but

    the Sabre's seem to be completely outplayed. I STILL see the Senators getting to the loose pucks first, winning the battles for the most part for loose pucks and having more scoring chances. I'm hoping they are just desperate to win at home.

    Miller was awesome tonight. This one he stole.

    Re: I'm loving the lead, but

    Well, I was expecting Miller to win us at least 1, and Emery to blow one.

    So far, both have happened.

    Another positive - we've beaten the best team in the NHL twice in 2 different ways - they showed they can beat them with offense and beat them with defense.

    Interested to see what happens on our Ice. This team needs to play better hockey, they've been lucky so far. 17 SOG is not going to win you a lot of playoff games. Miller cannot make 43 saves every night and keep getting W's for this squad.

    Don't count out the Sens on our Ice folks... I know it was a lesser opponent, but Ottaway spanked TB on their ice so this series is far from over.

      Re: I'm loving the lead, but

      i know youve heard it a jillion times but good teams find new ways to win

      - the flyers tried to outhit the sabres into submission and the sabres turned that against them

      - the sens tried to run and gun the sabres and the sabres just kept counterpunching

      - the sens put 44 shots on net but the bulk of them were perimeter shots and miller steals one

      many times weve seen teams win the style points and lose the series. thats what has happened so far in these two games

          great point. watching the game I was noticing the same thing. But when the Sens had good shots Miller had an answer for them. He played amazing tonight.

            Miller was right on tonight... 2-0 is great...we've been lucky. I'm looking at shear heart and determination though. We may not be making every single play but so far, we've made the plays when they really count! In addition to that, we're making Ottawa pay for their mistakes. Two game winners on mishandled pucks.

            GO SABRES!

              Ottawa won't get away with just one penalty per period in HSBC...Hopefully the PP will pick it up a little bit at home.

                  Ottawa has never come back to win a series after losing the first two games.

                  Hopefully the streak continues

                    Re: I'm loving the lead, but

                    well they certainly can come back from this

                    the truth is the sens have controlled most of the play so far but incredible grit, talent, and some luck has the good guys with a 2-0 lead. it could be very different

                    anybody who isnt very nervous about the sens coming into bflo and turning the series right back around is a lecter ... err i mean idiot

                        In the seven periods of this series, the Senators have outshot the Sabres in 6 of them, with only the OT period being different.

                        Hopefully the Sabres reboubd and stick the dagger deep Wednesday night.

                          Anyone who has watched these two games knows that the Sabres have not played their best. So if we can beat a very good team in their house twice, without playing well.....I see no way that the Sabres don't win 2 of the next 5 games.

                            The SENS are really concentrating on taking away our deep game and shooting lanes. It's not going to happen the way it's been happening in our building.

                              We play our best hockey at home, and I expect that trend to continue. We've won 7 of our last 8 at home. Including 3 playoff games and a win over Ottawa (which I was at, best game EVER).
