funny guy indeed . i will try to post some pics, providing i remember my camera! GO CANES!

[Flamesfanva]

Pictures would be cool. I have never been to the RBC Center. I need to go next season.

[El Scorcho]

I've only been to one game this season at the RBC, and it was pretty early on. At the time, it wasn't quite sold out, but man was it fun. I'd loooove to go to a playoff game.

[bigsmooth]

great game and atmosphere at the RBC. ryan miller stood on his head and played great between the pipes, though my canes lost a close 3-2 game, this is a long series. and let me tell you, sabre fan is very obnoxious......anyway, i will post pics tomm!

[Flamesfanva]

I won't rest easy until the Sabres take 3 more from Carolina. They are both great teams.

[bigsmooth]

here are some pics from game 1. the one that has the miller logo, said "it's miller time" for sabres goalie ryan miller.

[bigsmooth]

some more pics. the car is being driven to buffalo for game 3. it has signatures from canes fans on there and will be auctioned off after the series with the proceeds going to some charity. 96 rock sponsored it. look who signed it i should have signed flamefans.com!

Thanks for the pictures, wish I could have been there to see the Sabres win . My guess was they would split the games there and that's exactly what happened. It's hard-hitting hockey and neither team will win easily. Back to Buffalo now where the Sabres will get back on track.

[bigsmooth]

get back on track huh?? carolina has really dominated this series even though tied 1-1 IMHO .ryan miller has been the difference. HE IS SIMPLY SPECTACULAR! im not taking anything away from buffalo b/c they are strong, but last night's game showed how fast carolina is and the frenzy pace which produces a lot of deflections and shielding of the goalie. this series will go 7 games, and i expect all games to be nailbiters!

[Flamesfanva]

Being that Buffalo played their worst playoff game yet and still only lost by one, that isn't too bad. However, being a Buffalo fan, I won't rest easy until they hoist the Stanley Cup in victory. Buffalo just needs to be a better Hurricane hunter.

[Flamesfanva]

Looks like Edmonton will have the Western Conference title wrapped up soon, so they will be able to rest while Buffalo and Carolina battle it out.

[Flamesfanva]

The Sabres/Canes series is hockey at it's best. I'm too old for these heart stopping finishes.

Neither team giving up and it will be a fight to the finish that's for sure. Hopefully Buffalo can win the next one at home too.

Gotta go take my blood pressure now.

Thank goodness for Miller!

[El Scorcho]

Staal's last goal gave me hope, but it just wasn't to be tonight. The next one is ours!

Go Canes!

[bigsmooth]

the difference is the power play. buffalo capitalized on their oppty's last night, and quite frankly carolina was not tougher in the second period. it was a great move by laviolette to pull cam ward, but he will be back between the pipes friday. this series is a true battle and a mix of old time hcokey and new schhol hockey! GO CANES!

[Flamesfanva]

The Ducks live to fight again.

[bigsmooth]

well the canes/sabres series continues to surprise me. i honestly thought the canes would win but for buffalo to play that flat was shocking. whoever wins game five will win the series. im hoping edmonton can finish off the ducks tonight.

[Flamesfanva]

Yes, Carolina winning didn't surprise me, but the Sabres play did. I agree tomorrow night is critical for both teams.

[bigsmooth]

good comeback by the canes. coach laviolette continues to make good decisions in regards to goaltending, and the canes power play ccontinues to play dividends. hopefully they can close it out tuesday, but it will be a huge battle.

[Flamesfanva]

Buffalo came up short, but isn't out just yet, close but not yet.

[El Scorcho]

It kills me not being able to watch/hear these games live. Argh. I'm very pleased with the win tonight, though.

[Flamesfanva]

Yeah, I'm happy to be able to see them on OLN. I tried listening on the net, but OLN is much better.

[givemethemic]

Let's go canes, so I can go to the Stanley Cup Finals!!!!!

[bigsmooth]

i applaud your selfishness GMTM!

[givemethemic]

Hey you know you want to go to....Plus Buffalo and Edminton zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[El Scorcho]

The OT tonight is stressing me out. Ack.
