Stumble It!Excellent Season

Filed under: Sports — Eric Ptak @ 8:05 am

The Sabres won last night in great fashion, and finished out the season in excellent fashion. They skated around Carolina like the Harlem Globetrotters played around the All-Stars. It was awesome. Greer was even getting deep on their defense, and if he’s doing that, what does that say about the “Canes?

Funny thing is, Carolina was playing for first place in the conference, and the Sabres would have gained nothing but two points by winning. Listening to the game, it seemed to me as if there were a severe case of role reversal. The Sabres were assaulting the “Canes defense and peppering the goal with pucks. It just goes to show who is ready for the playoffs and who isn’t.

I know many have commented on this, but to go the entire season without a shutout, and to finish with two, one for each goalie, says a lot. I would think that it also sends a message to the rest of the teams in the playoffs: We will not lie down and take it easy; we will fight to win to the end. Which is what this season was all about, really. All the one point games, finding ways to win, goals coming from all over, rolling four lines.

It’s going to be a fun run.
