A few things to remember before this series starts

[Mitchy moo]

The NYR lost every game that they played with us (4) during the regular season.

The Sabres went 14-6 against their division (including a meaningless last game loss against philly), a division that sent 4 teams to the playoffs which is twice as many as the other 2 EC divisions sent, so lets call it the strongest for argument sake.

But 3 of those 4 wins were one goal- a couple were OT.

Oh, and this last point...all this information means absolutely nothing because it is the playoffs and a new season.

2 Were OT, and 1 Was a ShootOut

[Mitchy moo]

We won alot of games by 1 goal & OT, we still won.

[GThirst]

And only of the games was against starting goaltender Lundqvist! I believe that one was 4-3 in OT.

[SabreEleven]

and we haven't played the Butt Rangers since 1 Dec.

[YardRat]

I bet game 1 goes into OT...we haven't played one yet.

[Mitchy moo]

that's a likely scenario as well YR.
