Best postseason in sports.  Period.

I wouldn't go THAT far, but I do love hockey.

 

God-damn, I'm still geeked over that hit on Umberger.

 

That was kaspiritis-on-lindros-esque.

Best sport in sports...double period!

Let's just say, I agree. It's too bad so many people don't get it.*

 

 

 

*None of you soccer fairies better chime in, either. There's no solidarity here.

Quite a game. My hat is off to Esche, though. He played a great game.

Every save Esche made gave me that sinking feeling - like what all those teams must've felt like when Hasek was suffocating them years ago in the playoffs.

 

Nice to see the better team won.

 

I only listened to the game. Does anyone know where I can see the Campbell hit online?

The only real difference between soccer and hockey is that hockey includes hits that would wreck a Kia, anyway.

The only thing that kept me from getting that feeling was the memory of a ridiculous 80 save performance Hasek once had that the Sabres lost. It's what you let through that counts, not what you save.

When you get that link, forward it to Umburger. He might like to see that hit, too...he checked out of it early.

Then you'd be wrong. We've already had THREE OT games in the first two days. Both number one seeds trailed going into the third period of their games and the number 2 seed in the West is behind in their series. No one cares nearly as much about winning their trophy as hockey players do.

I think you mean Scott Stevens - but I get the drift. I was off the couch screaming "get some of that". Then I sat down when I realized he was hurt. It's just too bad it wasn't Hatcher.

 

I remember the Hatcher hit but this one reminded me more of Stevens.

don't worry, espn news has highlights. They have the first 4 goals, the big hit, but they didn't bother to show the winning goal...

:lol:

FWIW, ESPN News just showed the Sabres Highlights, 2nd story behind Barbara Bonds first home run. They showed the hit 3, 4 times, with 2 of the times Umberger's eyes becoming glazed donuts.

 

Didn't even show Briere's OT goal. By far, the biggest chuck of the Sabres/Friers Highlights were of the hit.

I know you're kidding, so I'll let that pass. :lol:

Clutch win for the sabres. Will give miller a shot of confidence, and moe importantly, the "mystique" of Esche from todays game is gone. A goalie can take a game like that (had he won) and get on a tear. I hope the sabres killed any chances of that happening with Esche tonite.

Football's always #1 for me.

I was raising hell when it happened. I thought the stripe-shirts had called a penalty on it for leaving the skates.

 

Actually THIS was the hit I was thinking of.

Hockey and Football are both on a level above everything else I think.

 

Tough call between hockey and football though for me.

And then they shake hands afterwards. Not only are they men, they are gentlemen. The NBA players after a series are out getting new tats and !@#$ing the losers wife.

I can't tell you the last time I watched an NBA game. I watched about 5 minutes of the NCAA tournament (which used to rival the SC playoffs in my youth). Basketball sucks now.

Those not involved in the celebration drive-by.
