Buffalo Boy's Blog

A 7-1 win last night over the lowly Tampa Bay Lightning has us playoff bound. Tampa Bay was awful. Totally undisciplined especially this stupid spear on Tim Kennedy.

As bad as Tampa was last night how do they have a guy tied for the league lead in goals in Steve Stamkos? Him, Lecavalier and St. Louis were all practically invisible, I'd love to see the time Buffalo spent in the Tampa zone last night it had to have been 75% of the game, and thats not an exaggeration. Even Harry Neale stated in the first period that they didn't have to Zamboni the Buffalo end of the ice.

Now, if only we could save some of that for the next time we play Ottawa which is the last game of the season.

Notables from this game: We clinched a playoff berth, next goal is clinching first in the Northeast, then clinching second though Im comfortable in third as we are most likely getting Montreal who currently sits in 6th place, I doubt Boston or the Flyers makes a run at 6th even if they are only two points back. I want to be the team that knocks out the mighty Habs with four swift defeats in the first round.

Patrick Lalime got win number 200, finally, Lindy needs to play him a few more now and let Miller relax and charge up for the playoffs.

Tyler Ennis seemed to have the puck on his stick every shift he played last night, two assists including a beautiful pass to set up an Adam Mair goal on the rush showed that if Connolly does or doesn't come back we might have to make room for this kid.
