Balanced Attack - WHO??? Only US!!

[ROOK33]

Ok I am confused the media hype is well HYPE! Once again this balanced attack makes no sense at all!! And I dont agree, take a look at total point rankings the top 44 for both teams only:
Ottawa- 4 Players:
1-Heatley,4-Spezza,5-Alfredsson and 44-Preissing
Buffalo- 7 Players:
10-Briere,11-Drury,22-Zubrus,25-Vanek,26-Campbell,32-Connolly, 35-Pominville


Sorry but I think Buffalo has to shut down one line(which we can), stay out of the box( leave these guys off the ice) and the series is ours. This hype is just plain BS!!! Stats dont lie IMHO and we have a more diversed attack!!! PERIOD !!!

Not to mention Miller vs Emery!!!

Miller !!! Lets stop the media over evaluation its ours this series and I am confident!!

Penalty Kill is the key to this series.

Good Point: once again very selective evaluation by the talking heads.
The funny part is watching them trip over themselves to sound "right" when their predictions dont pan out.

Ray Ferraro comes to mind here (as well as all of the knuckleheads from Curses, I mean Versus).

While I don't disagree that we're more balanced and deeper throughout our forward lines, may I ask how you decided to stopp at the "Top 44" ....sounds a little like cherry picking.

if it was cherry picking why wouldn't he have stopped at 35, after pominville and before mentioning preissing.

all you need to know is that spezza, crash and alfredsson have more points that teh rest of the team combined

Then we need to "Connolly" Spezza....

Then we need to "Connolly" Spezza....

I think zuby, drury, and hecht will give them all they can handle, they will get hit a lot and will have to play at both ends of the ice

Nice stat.

Thanks to SJ for losing on Monday night.... goddamn if that series had gone to 7 we'd probably STILL be waiting for game day.

I went off NHL.com and playoff stats, and that was the first page, just was doing a kinda spur of the moment look since I was tired of hearing about Ottawa and being balanced.

By the way I may be off a few Ottawa's top line has 23 of the 34 goals in the playoffs as well. Number may be off but pretty close couldnt remember, my bro had mentioned to me on the phone.
