All the pressure is on Carolina tonight. They win and everyone says, “yeah, so, you played a team with an AHL defense, you should win”. They lose and everyone says, “You really must suck, you just got beat by a team with an AHL defense”. If you’re one of those kids from Rochester, this is your big chance. This is why you’ve been getting up at 5am since you were 13 to be at practice before school. All those years at the arena, missed parties, long road trips in shitty buses, the sacrifices your parents probably made to keep you in the latest gear… it all has been leading up to tonight, the night you get to play a game 7, in the conference finals, for a shot to play for the greatest trophy in professional sports. There is no pressure on you, no one expects you to be NHL level players yet, so go out there and prove yourself. GO SABRES! ---

[http://www.wgrz.com/MyWGRZ/Email\_article.aspx?storyid=38489](http://www.wgrz.com/MyWGRZ/Email_article.aspx?storyid=38489) RALEIGH, N.C.(AP) – The Buffalo Sabres will be without yet another defenseman for tonight’s Game Seven against the Carolina Hurricanes. Veteran Jay McKee, Buffalo’s best defensive player, didn’t make the trip to Raleigh yesterday due to a seriously infected cut on his shin. After the team’s morning skate today, Coach Lindy Ruff announced that McKee definitely won’t be playing tonight, leaving the Sabres down four regular defensemen. Teppo Numminen is hampered by a hip injury and had a setback after being limited to playing only four minutes in Game Six. The sabres confirmed to Channel 2’s Adam Benigni that Numminen definately won’t play in game 7 either. Buffalo is also without injured defensemen Henrik Tallinder and Dmitri Kalinin. Nathan Paetsch will take McKee’s place on the Sabres bench. Paetsch played in Rochester this season. The defensemen for the Sabres will consist of Brian Campbell, Toni Lydman, Rory Fitzpatrick, Doug Janik, Jeff Jilson, and Paetsch for game 7. The best-of-seven Eastern Conference final is tied at three-all after the Sabres’ overtime win in Buffalo on Tuesday night. ---
