It's because they're missing Pronger, and now Carter. Like the Sabres
didn't lose Roy and Hecht (word is that both have been cleared to play,
which is great news), and now Pominville.
As for the officials, the funny thing is that the Whyners are claiming
they're walking-away from stuff they normally wouldn't, and for that they
should be commended. Please.
Good to see that the Sabres CAN play a physical game. For too long
they've been viewed as soft, but this series has served notice to
everyone that if you want the bull, you'll get the horns.

While the short bench didn't help, the Sabres' defense has been pretty poor
in terms of giveaways and manning-up, and their MO this season has been one
where no mutliple goal lead is safe. It also seemed like they felt they
had the game in-hand after going up 3-0 early. And to be fair, I haven't
heard any Whyners player or fan use Pronger or Carter as an excuse (yet).
But I wouldn't be surprised if they did after the series is over.

Good point. They (both) have been pretty bad on the PP. And the
officiating has easily been more biased in favor of the Whyners.

The Sabres have the 2nd-best (Sharks) record since the All-Star break. To
hear some, it's like they don't belong on the same ice as the Whyners, when
they may be the most dangerous team in at least the EC playoffs. Can't
wait to get Roy and Hecht (and now Pominville) back. And hopefully they're
not hit with a rash of injuries like in 2004-2005, when the Cup was theirs.

Yes, and go golfing, Whyners.

Funny, I don't recall whining at all. Just pointing out your lame
claims. It's hysterical to me that you say the Flyers and fans think
that they deserve automatic help from the officials. Nobody thinks
that, you made it up yourself. All teams whine to some extent. Just
look at Ruff after game 6 whining like a bitch and Miller equating a
push to mass murder. It was a penalty and the officials called it a
penalty.

Bye bye, whiner

The Cryers were the better team last night and deserved to win. I guess
$8M more in salaries will get you that 4-3 series win. But the Cryers
won't make it past the next round. Not with those goalies.
