There's nothing more nerve-wracking than the NHL playoffs when one has a rooting interest in the outcome. Nothing. There isn't a moment where you're not on the edge of your seat, or couch. Last night, we watched the Rangers 'hold serve' in the series. That's a tennis term to tell you that they won both of their home games. It's series, the people say, somehow implying it wasn't a series at the beginning of the series. Even though, it should be noted that they call it a series at the beginning.
But I digress. The Sabres are better on home ice because they can match better. Will they be better? Evidence shows they will be. Were they bad last night? The first goal for the Rangers was a pinball goal, off Jagr, then Numinen. If Roy doesn’t hit a post, if Vanek stretches, if Connelly can finish, if Briere’s goal holds up....yes all ifs. However, there’s no if about this: it’s a best 2/3 and two of them are at home.
I’ll take that.
