Sabres need to close out series
Tonight could be the night that the Buffalo Sabres finish off the New York Islanders. They have to if they want to go deep in the playoffs. For already the New York Rangers already are resting.
The Rangers finished off the Atlanta Thrashers in a four game sweep. The sweep gets them to rest for their next opponent. Which, everyone is predicting to be the Rangers.
The Sabres are the most talented team overall in the playoffs. The Sabres last year played a bunch of series that went five and six games long. Five games will give the Sabres enough time to rest, but at the same time not to much they lose some of thier timing.
The key thing is that the rest will give Ryan Miller time to rest. Which will allow him to stay a top of his game. Miller is the key to the Sabres success. His performance in net allows the Sabres to take more chances than usual when Miller is on top of his game.
Whoever is the Sabres next opponent is they must finish them off quick. In the overall scheme of things, if the Sabre are going to win the cup they cannot engage in six and seven game series.
So, finish them off the Islanders tonight. PLEASE!!! We do not need to see a six seven game series. Which, would increase the chance of injury.
