What happened? when all were 1-1 I thought there would be at least 2 that would go 7. I'm in shock about Boston And Philly.Well that's why they play the game. your thoughts.

I can't believe the calls at the beginning of the third period that gave Boston a chance to get back into the game when Buffalo had a 2 goal lead they had not blown a 3rd period lead all year an in the playoffs they have blown it twice and this time it was a 2-goal lead against a team that doesn't score much go figure and our goalie Miller did all he could in the overtime, but our team is horrendous on the power play.
even though they only had 2 chances and one was in the first overtime, but a stupid too many men on the ice penalty doomed our team even though there was only 9 secs left in the penalty and a seemingly innocent play somehow turns into a game winning goal for Boston and they steal another game they should have lost I remember when the team that scored the first goal usually won that game and Buffalo has scored first the last 3 games and has lost all 3 I don't get it was Vanek that big of a loss that we can't score without him it seemed like tonight they played their best team game and still found a way to lose it even with a 2-goal lead in the 3rd.
I would say their chances of advancing now are slim and none unless Vanek can somehow magically spark the offense in Game 5, but with no room for error I would say our chances are not too good of that happening.
I am surprised how poorly New Jersey has played and how well Philly has played especially in Goal with basically their 3rd string goalie veteran Brian Boucher in there and he has played really well maybe it is good to have that veteran backup when the playoffs come, but I heard Simon Gagne and Jeff Carter will both be out so we shall see how that effects them heading to New Jersey for Game 5.
It seems a long time ago when all the series that played two games were tied 1-1, but that is the playoffs for you things can change very quickly and what you thought going in is not always what you get coming out of it.
I am the least surprised about Pittsburgh and Washington all those two teams needed was anything out of the goalie and they were going to advance, because both have way too much offense for their opponents to handle.
I am very disappointed in my team as I thought they would play much better then they have and for them to cough up leads the way they have in their series they deserve to lose playing the way they have and to be in a Double OT game and get a too many men penalty without it being while they are changing which you see most of the time I mean they actually were playing with 6 skaters and the goalie which you almost never see such a lazy and stupid penalty and to give a power play that late into the game when everyone is tired it was just too much to overcome and to make such a dumb mistake we definitely gave it away with stupidity.
I always say that if the opponent outplays my team then they deserve to win, but it just kills me when my teams give the game away like that as a fan it is so frustrating to watch that.
Well I hope we can at the least force a Game 6 back in Boston, but the way our team has been playing I think that is wishful thinking at this point and I'd be surprised to see it get past the next game as I told my dad if we didn't win tonight I didn't see us being able to come back from 3-1 down, since we are not getting much out of the offense Miller has done all he could to keep us in the games and he made some amazing saves in the overtime, but he can only do so much when the defense keeps making so many mistakes in front of him.

I saw your game instead of the caps game. I agree. I thought The Sabres were going to win until all the stupid penalties happened. When it went to O.T. I still believed the Sabres were going to pull it out.When they lost my heart sank for you. I'm so sorry. Did they run out of gas? I don't know .All I know is you have the best goalie I have ever seen.He should sue for lack of support! I'm sorry man. I know how it feels to see your beloved team lose a game They should have won!
