What can you say about the Buffalo Sabres? They have to be, along with the Oilers, one of the toughest and scrappiest teams in recent memory.
They do have more skill and speed that Edmonton, but they are missing 3 of their 4 top defensemen. To think that they are within one win of making it to the Cup final boggles the mind. As the teams stand now, on paper, Carolina should have sent them home long ago, but they keep fighting back.
The Hurricanes are no slouches though. They are a great team and have shown that they are quite resilient. They will not go down on Thursday without a fight. It will be one hell of a game 7. This is what the playoffs are all about.
Question of the day: If the Sabres win and face the Oilers in the Stanley Cup final, will any pucks actually make it to the goalies or will the players block them all?
