Are you mentaly retard? Seriously like wow. It's one year. They play with no one, what the hell do you expect? Plus it was there first time playing in a playoff series where they've been the go to guys. Give them a break.

Bryz isn't great, and just an average goalie, or a good backup. Cory Schiender is probably the best unsigned goalie in the world, and will be a star (not a Luongo, but more like a Marty Turco who plays well in the playoff more then one year).

Blake would not be a good addition to that line. He is selfish and that line would self-destruct.

As for Bobby Ryan for Cory Schneider, Bobby Ryan is a more highly touted prospect than Schneider. Bobby's got a 8.5 on hockeysfuture whereas Schneider has a 7.5.

A more realistic trade if you wanted Ryan would be giving up Bourdon, which won't happen. Or else you could try to get RW Bryce Swan from Anaheim for Schneider.

Bottom line, why the hell does Anaheim want another goalie when they have Bryzgalov and two choices in Caron or McKee as RFAs to re-sign? I'm assuming Giguere goes to another team.

the scary thing is buffalo managed to win two series despite all this.

if they can start playing like a team, the Cup is theirs, even down 2-0 ain't no thang so long as they win game 3.

How can you say the Sedin twins are great when they put up 9 points combined (5+4) in 14 games of hockey (including OT)?

They are nothing but glorified 2nd liners and chokes in the playoffs, having taken that title from Alfredsson and Datsyuk.

It is finally nice to be regarded as good by all fans in the NHL.

I think Redden will be traded to Edmonton this off-season for a draft pick, and they'll focus that saved money on Fisher-Spezza-Heatley. Muckler has said his #1 d-man is now Phillips, and he is making 3 million less than Redden. It's a cruel business, but when you see what the Spezza-Heatley line is doing and how few players in the NHL can match Fisher in the way he plays the game, I think they are making the right decision- eased by the #9 overall lottery draft they got in the lock-out and drafting Brian Lee who is a Redden clone.
They Sens will be good for a while. Don't be surprised if the Leafs take a run at Chris Kelly as thier #3 center and top PK guy, he is just a great all-around player, a mini Kris draper but a little less physical.

i actually totally agree with you. what you said in your first sentence is almost what i said to a buddy of mine word for word the other day. that being said, i just want to go with my original prediction i made in early-April. also, i dont think Buffalo is incapable of improving as the series progresses. the 5-2 score was flattering to Ottawa IMO. yes they deserved to win, no question about it. but if that was a bad game by Buffalo – and it was – and they played a close game for most of it – that gives you an idea of just how good they are – even when they are playing bad.i think tonight will be the night the Sens finally go up 2-0 in the series. and i still dont think that will be the end of the Sabres. got to be a good time to be a sens fan mucks. they are FINALLY playing up to their potential as a team. how long will it last??? i dunno. and i am not asking that question just for the next 2 rounds, i am asking that question in terms of the next few offseasons when the cap goes up and the Sens have to resign some of their players.but like i said, great time to be a Sens fan. As a leaf fan i know how spoiled a fan can get. When they made the ECF in 1999 and 2002 and the 2nd round numerous times, it was just assumed that it was always going to be that way. not so. granted the situations/context are quite different (lockout, introduction of the cap, toronto a big market that overspends, etc.) … but as a Sens fan you obviously know how fleeting success can be sometimes.enjoy it while you can.

Ottawa will beat Buffallo. Ottawa is playing like a team, buffallo is not. You can't just flip a switch in the playoffs and hope your team starts playing well.
Buffallo has played 1 Really Solid game all playoffs, other than that they have been getting by on talent alone - it's never enough to beat a more determined and hungry opponent.

The sad thing is, this isn't the first time Simmons has written an article about Sundin not returning. Last summer he wrote that "the people closest to Mats will tell you he's playing in Sweden next year" and when Mats sold his house (to move to a different part of Toronto, peopld do move sometimes) Simmons wrote that it was because a trade or retirement were inevidable. Wow Steve Simmons is terrible.
