BillsGuyInMalta Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 It aint ovah until the fat lady sings. Sabres got to show a killer edge and find a way to finish off a dangerous Senators team. It's going to be a real test tomorrow night, thats for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But although I won't say that Buffalo will definitely win tomorrow, I do definitely expect Lindy to have them focused and in a position to win tomorrow.

dib Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I'd like to see the Sabres end it in 4, and the Canes and Devils go at least 6 to give our guys a chance to rest and recuperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could easily be down 3-0. And Ottawa is a great hockey team...with Hasek in goal. With Emery, they're just damned good. Both teams are damned good, in fact...this is a more even match-up than I expected. The key difference is, though, that the Sabres are good and lucky, Ottawa isn't. And I'd rather be lucky than good any day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going up 3-0 on Ottawa, and taking the first two in Ottawa, is gloat-worthy in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like A Mofo Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 has anyone ever come back from 3-0 to win a series in hockey? 689128[/snapback] I think the 1975 Islanders did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 has anyone ever come back from 3-0 to win a series in hockey? 689128[/snapback] Yes, twice. Don't ask me who, I just heard it quoted somewhere. But I'm sure one of the instances was against the Sabres, and involved some sort of fictitious goal of some sorts...

BillsGuyInMalta Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 The 1942 Maple Leafs and 1975 Islanders came back from 0-3 holes to win the series. Ottawa papers are reminding everyone about the Yankees epic collapse against the Red Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catskillbill Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 The Islanders in 1975 and the leafs in 1942 only teams to come back from 0-3 to win a cup playoff series. Only other major sport, Red Sox over Yankees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only other major sport, Red Sox over Yankees. 689145[/snapback] Prior to the NHL expanding the 1st round of the playoffs to a best of 7 in '87, the 2 3-0 comebacks were the only 2 times a team had ever come back from 3-1 or worse in the NHL playoffs. In '87, the Isles beat Washington in the the 4th OT on La-la's goal, after having trailed the series 3-1. Detroit paid back the Loafs in the next round repeating the Isles trick (minus the OT heroics). Coming back from down 3-1 has become fairly common in the NHL since '87, but it was truly rare prior to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next day, Easter Sunday, I went to Baltimore for a doubleheader vs. the Tribe. Ahhh, the good 'ol days of being single! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
