Playoffs

Tonight is our first game vs. the Islanders, and the second day of the playoffs. I have been counting down the Day/hours/minutes until tonight's game! WATCH OUT DUBIE!!

I was relieved to see that Lindy brought Stafford back up for the post season after being sent to Rochester for the last two games to make room for Connolly. From the look of things, it seems as if Peters is going to be a scratch throughout this years playoffs, just like last year. Which is a shame for peters, BUT unless he begins to have an impact on the play of the game and not simply the tough guy on the squad then he will not be able to play in the playoffs, which is what every player dreams of. Some might wonder if teams will try to muscle us around since they wont have to worry about Peters, but Mair is firmly on the lineup. And we all know that Mair is just as effective when he needs to be the tough guy, but he can also handle the puck well and make excellent plays.

On a side note, the Penguins LOST last night! I may be one of the few, but I DO NOT like the penguins and I DO NOT like Crosby. I will admit that he is an excellent hockey player, and he may be one of the best to enter the game in a while. BUT he IS NOT and NEVER WILL be good enough to compare to Gretzky. Gretzky literally CHANGED the game of hockey. while Crosby may be more technically sound in today's hockey game, he will not change the way the game is played. and the effect on the game is what makes Gretzky the best player of all time.

LETS GO SABRES!!
