Had Miller been superb, the Sabres probably would take down the Flyers in 6 games. Chances are Miller will stay with the Sabres until his contract runs out. That means the Sabres will have to fortify their defense and offense to have a shot at Stanley Cup, with the assumption that Miller will be good, but not great.
On to Round Two in the NHL Playoffs
- Thread starter Ironhead
- Start date
Tampa Bay sweep the 'paper tiger' Capitals. Looks like the Bruins are doing the same with the big bad Flyers. LOL!!! (One would think the Bruins learned the lesson from last year and will not let the Flyers win 4 straight to take the series. Can't imagine history will repeat itself that quick. LOL!!!)
People react to adversity in different ways. Some guys will dust off the golf clubs, others will head home with the family, others will participate in a hobby and others will pursue other intersts (like the World Hockey Championships) - All to deal with being eliminated.
I watched some of the Caps games and he is the one guy that you will not be able to label as a "Slacker".
If it was a Canadian athlete doing the same thing I doubt the average fan would even question his loyalty to the NHL team.
Besides, what type of behaviours would you expect of him or any other hockey player once they are eliminated from the play-offs?
It looks like the Canuck sisters have it right. Less make up and play more hockey push the Predators to the brink of elimination. The Sharks, Bruins, or Lightening will be much tougher opponents than the Predators in future rounds.
Ovechkin was not himself this past season. In past seasons he would be on the hi-lite reels every night, this season it was rare to see an OV hi-lite goal.
Boudreau and company should have been more interested in building a strong third line.

Canucks advance to the third round.
Will the sisters ever show up ? If not, forget the Cup Vancouver. The Canucks will not get to the finals without the Sedins.
Nashville ... talk about riding a hot goalie. Pekka Rinne could have stolen the series if only a few more Predators could have found the net.
Go Sharks, end it tonight.
