ECF Game Two

Where, exactly, are the Buffalo Sabres? I mean, Chris Drury shows up at the ends of losing games, does something heroic (like setting up last night's tying goal with 5.8 seconds to go), then buggers off. And last night's game wasn't exactly a blowout, but now the Senators have a two-game lead, and play the next two on their home ice!

I predicted that Ottawa would win this series; I just didn't anticipate it ending so soon. I could be wrong, mind you; in 2002, Detroit dropped first two games at home in the first series, before coming back to win four straight, but that was against perennial choke-puppy Vancouver. The Senators aren't going to roll over and die, and Buffalo has a hard, hard task ahead if they want to win this.

I'd like for the Sabres to make a better showing of themselves, and I think they'll steal a game in Ottawa, but the Senators have all the momentum, and they know it.
