Good try, but the Rangers are my #1 team. Sabres are a close 2nd being the hometown team and of course, having the best announcer in all sports period. ---

Biron made some incredible saves last night, AGAIN. he’s on fire. Briere scores the game winner. god im glad im not a Sabre fan. Philly should have swept if not for the BS call in Game 1 that let MTL tie the game and eventually win in OT. ---

> [@JayS](#): > > I don’t know, if Miller is still considered and elite goalie in the NHL I think Marty will do just fine. That’s the question right there, **if** Miller is still considered elite. He’s gotta get things back together and make this past season look more like just an off year to stay in that elite group. Marty is definitely coming into his own and it seems lately that goalies are hittin their prime years later in their careers. But honestly, who cares what he does next year, right now it’s all about winning the Cup. ---

Marty kept them in that game last night. They were getting walked all over. I just don’t think that will happen though against Pitt in the next series. Pitts top 2 lines can make the best goaltender look quite average very easily and against a still slower defense like Philly (although they are quicker than they used to be), I’m predicting a field day for Pitt offensively. ---

Everyone thought he was done at the beginning of the year (was playing like ass) and now he’s the backbone of the team. ---

I don’t see Philly getting past Pittsburgh, but it will be a great series. Even better when you see the riots in the stands and parking lot because you’ll get so many road trip fans in each other’s cities.
