Greetings from Buffalo...or is it Cleveland?
BUFFALO---Paul Mara already looks like a lumberjack. Matt Cullen's is dark and thick. The youngsters' are ---as you might imagine---scraggly.
The Rangers' playoff beards have bloomed and they'll have some use here, where the forecast is certainly not post-season, nearly-May weather: more like October, 40-something degrees and rainy.
Nonetheless, it's not snowing and this city is preparing for the opening game in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference Semifinals in good humor, with "Go Sabres" flashing on message boards at the airport and Sabres t-shirts proudly worn at the car-rental counters.
Remember the Jim Carrey film, "Bruce Almighty," when the Sabres win the Stanley Cup and riots break out in Buffalo? One car-rental firm employee laughed and noted only one scene in the movie was actually shot here.
"Most of it was in Cleveland," he said.
Before any wild celebrating can occur, however, the Sabres must finish off the Rangers, who believe they can win the series.
"We're not pretending anythere here, the pundits will say they're the better team, according to the records, and rightfully so," coach Tom Renney said after a fast-paced practice in Westchester. "But we're probably at at the apex of our game and if we can sustain that over the course of this series and beyond, we've got a good chance of winning."
For those just jumping on the bandwagon, Renney has done an admirable job in getting the players to buy into the don't-panic, team-first, opportunistic approach that concluded with a 17-3-4 run. "We're gonna face adversity and the worst thing we can do is immediately alter the way that we're playing," said Brendan Shanahan. "We've got a format that's brought us success. Over the long haul, we've won more than we've lost."
At practice, some of the drills were specifically designed for the Sabres' attack: defending odd man rushes and 2-on-2s, and down low around the net, where Buffalo will go back-door, look for the stuff, pass back to the open side.
In one, led by goaltender coach Benoit Allaire, a player would skate from the right boards directly toward goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, fire a backhander, a rebound, and another player would cut around the other side of the cage to try to tuck the puck in, forcing Lundqvist to go post-to-post. The next player would approach from the left side, and so on.
The Rangers' defense pairings will be pressured in many ways, and Renney stressed that they cannot do it alone. "We can't just have those guys defend, retrieve and move the puck in two or three seconds," he said. "That's a five-man unit's job."
At any rate, the city is ready for action---even those with unlikely alliances.
After a fire alarm prompted guests at the Adam's Mark hotel to vacate rooms and gather in the lobby, several firefighters, after assessing the situation, pronounced a false alarm. But before they left, two of them asked a group in the lobby if they were Sabres' fans. Then they tapped the tops of their metal axes in a familiar melody: ding, ding, ding-ding-ding, and said in tandem: "Let's go Rangers."
****
D Karel Rachunek, who has missed 16 games with a sprained MCL, appears to be starting tomorrow. He skated opposite Mara. Thomas Pock, who played all four games in the Atlanta sweep, skated with Jason Strudwick, who is ineligible for the post-season, indicating a healthy scratch...Ryan Hollweg and Colton Orr alternated shifts and Renney said a decision would be made tomorrow Orr played all four games; Hollweg was a healthy scratch... Renney on Sean Avery's remarks about his intent to physically pound the Sabres: "We had meeting prior to the playoffs starting about what we wanted to do in terms of the media. We want guys to be honest. I don't think he's gone over the top at all. At the same time, that's the way he plays".. Expect C Chris Drury, Drew Stafford and Dainius Zubrus to sometimes match up against the Jaromir Jagr-Michael Nylander-Marcel Hossa line, according to the Buffalo News.
***
The Sabres skate at 10:30 tomorrow; the Rangers at 11:30. More from there coming....

I hope not. I have him in a pool and he is a needed guy on the blueline for the Rangers.
Well Avery, when you open your mouth not only does the other team notice but so do the refs. Fool!
Didn't get to see the game, but a buddy said the first period, except for the shots and penalties was quite evenly played. Four minutes is all it took. Put this one in the "we haven't played a game in a while" column and come out a little better for game 2.

jagr had a great chance 30 secs in
the first period was good
way too many penalties ,,cant do that and win
but their first goal was a BAD turnover and then a penalty
boom 1-0 cant do that
yuck, that game sucked. but at least it's only the first game. must-win on friday (stating the obvious there)..

they should put in tomas pock ( for Rozsival ) and put in Liffiton for Rachunek .
please, dont think you can win and give this Buff team 6 or seven power plays.
Avery had better back up his promises and " im gonna hurt you " bullshit, or go sit down . how ineffective was he ? i think it was the same thing in game 1 against atl, so we'll see how he rebounds in game 2 .
gotta give credit to Buff.
IMO-Kotaliks goal was the nicest of all 5 , he totally froze Henrik and put it all the way up top inside the twine.
Paul Mara, please stay up on your skates, and refrain from wiping up the ice with your RANGERS emblem across your chest and clearing the entire crease and opening up the slot wide open and clear for all the Buffalo snipers. :rolleyes:
the team needs a total turnaround from game 1, or this series will be like the one against NJ last season .
it appeared we were ready the fiorst 10 minutes of the game, then it was like a flick of a switch and it went downhill.

based on what the post says, he's doubtful with a left knee injury. I guess he's still day-to-day but today is not the day..

“Let’s just give them the Cup. If I had it with me, I’d hand it to them.”
That was the dripping sarcasm of Jaromir Jagr in the hallway today responding to the frenzy around the Sabres’ Game 1 win. As I alluded to earlier, there is indeed a growing sense in this city that the Sabres are going to waltz into the Conference Finals based on what has already transpired here. None of that, mind you, comes from the Rangers, who seem to be scoffing at the notion that Wednesday was anything more than a mediocre start to what will likely be a long series.
The mood was fairly confident, and jovial, as usual. I was summarily mocked by Brendan Shanahan for chewing an oversized piece of gum, while Jagr continued his season-long pestering of Kevin Weekes.
Meanwhile, some updates:
# Yes, Michal Rozsival looked sharp in the morning skate and said he was good to go tonight. A cautious Tom Renney suggested that he doesn’t want to use Rozsival tonight if it comes at the expense of his availability later in the series, but Rozsival said it wasn’t an issue. “I feel good. It feels fine,” he said. “I’ll settle down so I don’t have any worries at this point.”
# As for the use of seven defenseman as a precaution, Renney said it was “an outside option,” and he will definitely skate seven in the warm-up. My guess is given how the Sabres effectively roll four lines, the Rangers would like to avoid being shorthanded at forward. Either way, Thomas Pock said he’d be ready regardless.
“As much as I want to play, I want the team to win,” Pock said. “Whatever happens, I’ll be ready if they need me two days from now or two weeks from now.”
# Sean Avery continues to be a source of attention given his comments earlier in the week. Now his mother is planning on being in attendance for Game 2, leading to the question if he needs to be on his best behavior.
“She likes it when I’m behaving poorly,” Avery said. “She’s used to it by now.”
# As for the portrayal of Jagr as being agitated with the media yesterday, I never got that sense. But I asked him if that was accurate. The Captain rolled his eyes and said he was simply joking around. “You guys know me,” he said. “Some of these guys don’t.”
OK, more later…

Greetings from Buffalo...or is it Cleveland?
BUFFALO---Paul Mara already looks like a lumberjack. Matt Cullen's is dark and thick. The youngsters' are ---as you might imagine---scraggly.
The Rangers' playoff beards have bloomed and they'll have some use here, where the forecast is certainly not post-season, nearly-May weather: more like October, 40-something degrees and rainy.
Nonetheless, it's not snowing and this city is preparing for the opening game in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference Semifinals in good humor, with "Go Sabres" flashing on message boards at the airport and Sabres t-shirts proudly worn at the car-rental counters.

“Let’s just give them the Cup. If I had it with me, I’d hand it to them.”
That was the dripping sarcasm of Jaromir Jagr in the hallway today responding to the frenzy around the Sabres’ Game 1 win. As I alluded to earlier, there is indeed a growing sense in this city that the Sabres are going to waltz into the Conference Finals based on what has already transpired here. None of that, mind you, comes from the Rangers, who seem to be scoffing at the notion that Wednesday was anything more than a mediocre start to what will likely be a long series.
The mood was fairly confident, and jovial, as usual. I was summarily mocked by Brendan Shanahan for chewing an oversized piece of gum, while Jagr continued his season-long pestering of Kevin Weekes.
Meanwhile, some updates:
# Yes, Michal Rozsival looked sharp in the morning skate and said he was good to go tonight. A cautious Tom Renney suggested that he doesn’t want to use Rozsival tonight if it comes at the expense of his availability later in the series, but Rozsival said it wasn’t an issue. “I feel good. It feels fine,” he said. “I’ll settle down so I don’t have any worries at this point.”
# As for the use of seven defenseman as a precaution, Renney said it was “an outside option,” and he will definitely skate seven in the warm-up. My guess is given how the Sabres effectively roll four lines, the Rangers would like to avoid being shorthanded at forward. Either way, Thomas Pock said he’d be ready regardless.
“As much as I want to play, I want the team to win,” Pock said. “Whatever happens, I’ll be ready if they need me two days from now or two weeks from now.”
# Sean Avery continues to be a source of attention given his comments earlier in the week. Now his mother is planning on being in attendance for Game 2, leading to the question if he needs to be on his best behavior.
“She likes it when I’m behaving poorly,” Avery said. “She’s used to it by now.”
# As for the portrayal of Jagr as being agitated with the media yesterday, I never got that sense. But I asked him if that was accurate. The Captain rolled his eyes and said he was simply joking around. “You guys know me,” he said. “Some of these guys don’t.”
OK, more later…
