Emery played pretty amazingly against the devils.

Also I watched both the sabres/rangers series and the senators/NJ series.

Buffalo I felt kind of almost squeeked out the series victory, but lundquist could have just been that hot.

I thought that from watching both series the sens were a better team then the sabres.

are you saying that the sabres are going to win this game then? cause you're pretty good at this sort of thing. =)

Also the sens have 3 out of the top 5 positions for most points during the 2007 playoffs, all three being heatly, spezza, and alfredson.

that line is so amazing, sens my have expelled alot of energy but they did get it done in five games.

the bad blood between these two teams is what is really going to make this series awesome.
