Sabs @ Sens Game 1

+170 and higher looks good to me on the Sabres. They are playing the same brand of uptempo, confident team hockey that got them through the regular season. Their brand is made well for traveling on the road, and they way they responded to playing big games in Philly has them believing in themselves.

Hard to take anything away from the Senators though, but I'll also take Miller in the battle of the rookie goalies.

Sabres also looked much better against the Sens towards the end of the season as opposed to the beginning when they got lit up a bit.

I would have expected this line to be in the +140-150 range, so I'm making a mid sized play on +170.

GL and enjoy the pucks guys!

I think the sabres at +170 was great value in game 1, and other then having to spend the extra day in ottawa i see no reason why this line should change at all.

I also like the unorthodox coaching methods Lindy Ruff will employ in these types of situations. I know during this season where theyve had the team take a day off of practice and will instead go bowling, or other activities to keep team spirit and energy high. The sabres are tuned in, and at +180 or higher I dont see any reason NOT to bet on buffalo.

everyone arguing that theres 'no way' the senators could possibly drop 2 straight at home is probably the same group who thought there was 'no way' the sabres could take game 1 to begin with.

+120 or higher with the sabres at home. I still have to keep riding this horse until it bucks me. Connolly and Kalinin are both scratchs, but I think the sabres can maintain their high level of play with out them. This play is somewhat smaller then the first two, but still needs to be taken.

good luck!
