The Buffalo Sabres have made it to the end of the second round, prompting a game seven. The last time they had a game seven was also their last playoff appearance back in 2011 (stupid Flyers). Maybe this is your first game seven as a sports fan…if so, how are you feeling?
I know it’s already been an absolute roller coaster of emotions this postseason. Late comebacks, goalies getting pulled, late hits, dives, terrible officiating, we’ve seen everything in these first two rounds.
It’s going to be so much MORE tonight. The ideal scenario would be Buffalo scoring a couple of early goals and cruising by with some excellent defensive play to finish off the Habs. Look at the first six games…how likely do you think that is? Yeah, it’s gonna be a grind. I truly and firmly believe that the Buffalo Sabres can win this game and get back to the conference finals. But it won’t be that easy. It never is here.
Your team is in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the best postseason in North American professional sports. If Buffalo can win tonight, they’ll face the Carolina Hurricanes. The Canes have cruised through the playoffs so far, 4-0, 4-0 and haven’t played a game since May 9th. But if Buffalo gets there, I’m taking the team that struggled and fought and took every shot the Bruins and the Canadiens could give them and still answered the bell.
“I can do this all day”
I’ll give one final reminder – sports is *FUN*. Cheer, cry, wake the neighbors but remember how amazing the journey was.
JFG
Go Sabres.
