Sabres showed guts
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...The Sabres stepped up with what was probably their best game of the series against Carolina to force Game 7. It’s now down to one game to see who gets the right to play for the Stanley Cup against Edmonton.
With the series on the line in the last two games, these two teams have really stepped up and played some awesome hockey! It’s clear that these teams are very evenly matched and it seems to be all about the way the puck bounces. In Game 6, I counted several chances on both sides where the a simple puck bounce prevented a goal. Had the puck bounced differently, the outcome of the game may have been quite different. Both Ryan Miller and Cam Ward were phenomenal.
So, how will the Sabres advance to the Stanely Cup? They need to play Game 7 just like they played the first period of Game 6, but score more. To follow-up on my last post on the Sabres, they need goal production from Afiniganov and Hecht. Briere stepped up once again, but it cannot all rest on his and Miller’s shoulders. In my last post, I should have included JP Dumont on the list of those that needed to score. Well, he did very early in Game 6 and it led to a Sabres victory. Oh, yeah, and Miller needs to stand on his head and either Briere or Drury needs to contribute again.
Kudos to the Sabres defensive corps for playing so well all game with only 5 players, and to Numminen for giving it a shot - he was an inspiration to the team.
Here is to a Game in Buffalo on June 5th and to the continuation of a special season! Go Sabres!
