Bring on the B's
Kind of what you'd call a quiet week on the Sabres front.
Hearkening back to the team's nine-day layoff before the Eastern
Conference final last year, Lindy Ruff wanted to spend the idle
week making sure his team stayed sharp. Al Strachan wanted to
trade Dominik Hasek. What about my wants?
With the Devils' collapse against the Penguins, completed Tuesday
night, the matchup with the Bruins was set. Is your most
pronounced memory of the Bruins in the playoffs May Day in 1993,
or that goal Brad Park scored in overtime of game seven in 1983?
I guess it would, in part, depend upon how old you are.
Mine is from the year of Clint Malarchuk's injury, we were
playing the Bruins in the first round (it would have had to have
been, I suppose) and this Bruins fan in the Aud gets a load of
heckling from us Sabres fans and he turns around and swipes his
hand across his neck a few times and says "Malarchuk! Give him
another one!" Ha ha! That droll, genteel Beantown humor. In
any case, the Sabres have not drawn a cupcake playoff opponent
just because it's the sixth seed. They did that in the second
round last year. The Bruins are likely the best of the other
three remaining Eastern teams. A beer! Give me another one!
