CUP FINALS!!!!

YES! Sens dispose of the Sabres in 5 games. Sabres showed-up. Guys were diving for pucks and blocking shots. Similar to the end of game #4. Drury basically forced overtime by blocking an open net during a Sens powerplay. My problem with this is; where was the intensity all among? Sens have played that way from game #1 (against the Penguins). Definitely a case of too little, too late.

Very appropriate payback from last year. The high flying, high scoring, President's Trophy winning team, bows out in 5 games; sounds familiar... Also, love the personal redemption for Alfredsson. Game winner, with Pommenville on the ice.

I feel for Miller and Drury, those guys played hard. I like both players. But I knew the Sens had a great chance of taking the game when Drury caught a puck in the face, by his own team no less, and wasn't out there for the start of OT. He's a gamer, and none of the other Sabres followed his lead until it was too late.
