This is gonna 7 while Carolina gets tons of rest

 

[PistolPete]

He's pretty tough. Although all fights are nonsense these days. Not like the 70s and 80s where you actually tried to hurt the other day and didn't stop punching until you got pulled off

Them the days.

All Bob Probert's fault.

 

[Montreal Shadow]

Yep, either team is probably getting demolished just like Vegas or Anaheim is going to get smoked by Colorado. Should have just had Avs-Canes SCF in April

Why do people keep saying this? I think both are good enough to beat Carolina.

Montreal or Buffalo would have also destroyed Ottawa and Philly.

 

[Mike C]

Well that's no fun!

Thus the daily missive to the Lord Almighty

"Please can TONIGHT be the night I get to turn deaf"

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Buffalo scares the shit out of me because they’re legit. But what a fun series! If my Habs lose, I’m rooting Buffalo all the f***ing way!

Yeah I said over on your board that I would root for Montreal if they advance and I'll stick by that. Fun team.

I think both teams are playing with found money. Both young and this is the first of many runs.

 

[Panthaz89]

I'll take the bad while sitting in my car getting a jump on traffic rather than abuse myself by staying in the arena and dealing with annoying shit talkers while going down by even more goals. To each their own I guess

Tage left the building before the game started mentally.

 

[PistolPete]

Show his teamates he's not scared ...? Give the team energy for next game?

Or piss Montreal off by not responding?

Something about being 7-0 at this stage of the playoffs..I guess we can hope the Canes having 2 months off between this round and ECF could hurt them

 

[Mike C]

Them the days.

All Bob Probert's fault.

Schultz O'Reilly Fotiu Gillies Magnuson etc

Them the days is right!

Against Ottawa and Philly. You seriously think those teams would have given trouble to Buffalo or Montreal? Come on.

 

[Steve Austin]

I would like to give kudos to multiple Sabres fans for being thoughtful and humble in this thread. It was a pleasure to read your comments and objective assessment, even though Habs were dominating. Thank you!

The definition of class:

Spoiler

 

[Leafs87]

Where was Schenn? Stanley?

 

[TheBarnIsElectric]

Oufff... Fans exiting early in a playoff game? You'd think after being out of it so long the rush to beat traffic in a loss wouldn't be that appealing lol

Also noticed how after intermission there are tons of empty seats for the first few minutes of each period...

TBF, the bathroom facilities are inadequate, causing long lines.

Also people love to hang out in the concourse between periods. Part of the culture is to drink, have fun, cheer, boo, and see friends. You should not interpret any of it as people not caring. Trust me. We care a lot about the team and we love hockey as much as anyone.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Those were Leafs fans and Sens fans though. Sabres fans didn't say shit.

We're all Sabers fans now

 

[The Last Red]

Nonsense. It was that bimbo interviewing Gronk for an entire 2 minute power play

That was F'ing ridiculous. Also, when do Gronk's 15 minutes end? Just go away already.

 

[Andrei79]

Yeah I said over on your board that I would root for Montreal if they advance and I'll stick by that. Fun team.

Same regarding Buffalo. Fun team filled with players I've liked since their draft year.

 

[DaPhazz]

Exactly this. Greenway isn't a fighter... but he is big enough and strong enough to not get killed.

Looking at him play, he'll probably end up elbowing a smaller guy in the face, then hide

 

[Alienblood]

Seriously bro. Every match against Tampa was Hell on Earth. Sabres are soft as Hell. Terrible coaching from their End.

Sabres just physically smacked Montreal around

 

[Montreal Shadow]

His hairline is done. Need to shave it off when it gets to that point.

 

[PistolPete]

Schultz O'Reilly Fotiu Gillies Magnuson etc

Them the days is right!

Wendel Clark

Always hated the Leafs but loved watching him, especially his fights.

Focus was another.

They wanted to hurt guys

By the esrly 90s Probert made it a club and from there a damn Code came about- stop when he falls...yadda yadda

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

I hope Xhekaj just jumps him too... I don't like either team.

I think you'd see guys like Stanley, Carrick (if he is back), and Malenstyn grabbing dance partners at some point too, and after Xhekaj and Anderson, the Habs don't have much, so I'd be excited to see how it goes if it gets to that point. The rougher the series, the more fun for me.

He doesn’t do it much and will probably end up injured and out for the season but Dach can throw them a bit but that’s about it. Something for our GM to address this offseason

 

[TheBarnIsElectric]

Seriously bro. Every match against Tampa was Hell on Earth. Sabres are soft as Hell. Terrible coaching from their End.

Our regular season games against Tampa were more physical than playoff games against Montreal.

Tampa is the most physical team of the 3, and the worst.

 

[Wats]

Sabres just physically smacked Montreal around

Yeah not sure what game he watched. But it seems Sabres arent too much fighters. Interesting to see if they are as inclined to hit as much if they get bullied after.
