Buffalo played very well and deserved to win. I didn't see the third but they played an effective game, capitalizing on the Flyer awful penalty killing. I do like the fact that Buffalo has a legitimate scoring threat on every line - there's still questions about the defense and goaltending.

Should be interesting tomorrow night in Philadelphia - can Buffalo get the matchups it wants against Philadelphia's top line? The Umberger-Carter-Dimitrakos line hasn't done anything in 5 games and the Flyers will not win the series if that continues. Still, you guys haven't been able to contain that top line very well, and against Ottawa or New Jersey that spells death.

I don't think many people would dispute that they'd be underdogs vs. Ottawa or NJ - they are in most opinions the two best teams in hockey.

Still, you did list Philly along with the Rangers as one of the teams Buffalo wouldn't be able to beat in the playoffs, which was wrong.

When you look at the box score the Forsberg line has put up some nice looking stats but in watching the games it's pretty clear that they have actually been contained very well in 4 out of the 5 games with Game 4 being the exception; and Forsberg is the best player in the world.
