Sabres come out flying. Wow. And yes, i'm a bit nervous about Janik/Fitzpatrick, but the best defense is a good forechecking offense and right now they're doing just that.

I believe Yahoo had the same deal. Select games for the first 2 rounds only.

Saw this post on CBS SportsLine as a response to an article. Shame on Buffalo Posted by p0244848 May 22, 1:06 pm In the past, we've had many fans from Montreal, Toronto, New Jersey etc, come down for playoff games. They were loud, boisterous, great fans and great people. The Buffalo contingent gives new meaning to no class. They came here, drank early and often, and were rude, obnoxious, and just plain nasty. Shame on you! Reply to him here

Peca gets another goal and Roloson another assist in a 3-1 win. I can't believe they're an 8 seed. That's what makes the NHL playoffs so great.

You guys rocked it. Sabres fans, some who drove 11 hours straight to get to Raleigh; are partying their brains out and have turned a section of the parking lot into something called “Sabres Alley”. Link

Wheeeeew!!! Hell of a game. No lack of excitement. Way to win the opener on the road...again.

Way too lackadaisical on the power play. WTF!!

The last 2-3 minutes were off the hook. Miller coming up huuuuge.

Ward is one lucky mofo. Just got enough with the glove to carom it onto the x-bar.

Top shelf where mama hides the cookies!!!

Buffalo needs to get going on the forecheck in the next two periods. Not enough pressure in Carolina zone.

Questionable penalty on Hecht.

Defensively, the Sabres are playing very strong. Carolina's been in our zone a lot but not very many good scoring chances.

Tallinder for the first. Hell of a start.

Man the wait has been tough. But .......GAME ON!!!

Thanks. It'll be sweet to watch them in HD today.

Roloson to Peca for the shorthanded breakaway goal. Excellent. Wouldn't mind seeing Edmonton take this series.

Do you mean that NBC is carrying it in HD or are you referring to some special channel carried by DirectTV only?

Nall hands off to Willis. Run right. Gain of 1.

All I can say is that i'm gonna be one pissed off Sabres fan if the game runs into the Preakness and NBC doesn't change the feed to one of it's other channels, i.e. CNBC, MSNBC, USA, etc... I find it hard to believe they wouldn't have such a contingency. But then again, this is the NHL....I'm counting on the Sworsmen to finish it in regulation.

Don't forget Dwayne Roloson. Remember when he started game 1 for the Sabres against the Leafs in the conference finals in 99. He's definitely playing the best hockey of his career and I'm happy for him. I'd love to see Edmonton pull through.

I wondered about that. Charlie said they needed to take them every 9 days (i think). Why would they just start injecting unknown “immunizations” into themselves and the baby. Charlie even practiced on himself. They didn’t even ask Jack what it was or if it was safe. He is after all a trained physician. Looked a little crazy to me. I believe that these are the same inoculations that Desmond was periodically injecting himself in the hatch before he ran away. Remember episode 1 from this season.

CBC will not be showing games 1, 2, 6, or 7 of the Sabres-Canes series. Not a problem for game 1 since it’s on NBC. But for the others, if you don’t subscribe to Adelphia’s digital tier to get OLN, you won’t have tv access to the game. For Buffalo area fans this could be a huge problem. Adelphia says they’re "working on it" whatever that means. I'm in St. Louis and get OLN on the basic package but I feel for you guys. I'd get on the lines to Adelphia right away.

I was told by a friend that ESPN had Rick Jeanerette's top 10 calls of his career. Does anyone know where i can find a link to it online? Would love to hear it.

We steal one on the road - 2-0 and coming home. Looking good.
