Yeah, for how great the Sabres 4 scoring lines looked all season when it tightened up in the playoffs it was very clear a solid checking line was going to be needed. Ottawa won their games with 1 amazing line, that got almost completely shut down by a big checking line of the Ducks.
Watching the Ducks made me realize the Sabres would be a lot more fun to watch if they actually had some guys willing to deliver the big hits. Here’s to hoping for the off season.
And PassMyAss… I bought into that crap about, “You want the team that beat you to win the cup, because you’ll feel you got closer” bullshit last year. Watching the douchebags from from Carolina did not make me feel better, and had I had to watch Neil lift the cup this year I probably wouldn’t have even watched the cup presentation, something any true hockey fan watches regardless of the team that wins.
So GO DUCKS!
