Rangers Earn First Win, Sabres Flat Again!

I'll make this short and sweet. The Rangers have been the better team for two straight games. The Sabres better get it cranked up soon or things could really go astray. The Rangers are outhustling the Sabres consistently and the Sabres best line of Pominville-Briere Hecht has been MIA.

After three games Kudos to Tom Renney for keeping the Ranger's focused and raspberries for Lindy Ruff for allowing this team to play flat.

A big cheer for Henrik Lundqvist and Ryan Miller who have been superb. A standing ovation for Henrik Tallinder and Jaromir Jagr who have been putting on an epic battle every shift.

The Sabres will still win this series in 5 or 6 unless things really fall apart, they are just to good, but colored me worried especially if Ottawa comes to town.

News and Notes:
Thomas Vanek and Drew Stafford have often been dominate when on the ice together. Stafford has replaced Max Afinogenov who has really struggled in the series. Jochen Hecht has played well but has shown no touch around the net. Jason Pominville still apears very tight. The entrie Sabres defense Corps has played extremely well.

Tim Connolly has played well, but his lack of strength is evident. It is obvious he is way behind everyone else on the ice due to his extended concussion symptoms.

Paul Gaustad should be about ready to play. I have a hunch he will suite up for Game 4.
