Not staying up to watch it but it makes complete sense this series would go to overtime. Two young teams beating the crap outta each other. At this point both deserve to be in the ECF.

Based on what I’m seeing in this game Canes vs Montreal would be a more favorable match. But whoever, bring it on. Let’s have an OT or two.

Buffalo is much bigger and plays tougher.  Imagine Stankoven out there against Tage Thompson

Holy poo

Damn, Montreal it is

As soon as Buffalo turned it over right then, I said that's the game.

I guess the good news is Montreal only wants to play 4 Dmen. If we play at our usual pace, we will tire them out

All right. Bring it.

They basically have played top two line heavy and top 2 pairing heavy in the playoffs so far.

I’m stunned.  I really thought the Sabres had it once they came back
