Eastern Conference Results
Buffalo vs. Ottawa
Prediction: Sabres in 6
Outcome: Senators in 5
The Senators top line was just too much for the Sabres to contain. The one game that they were able to control the Alfredsson-Spezza-Heatley line, they won. The Sabres were not the same team that they were when they won the Presidents' trophy during the regular season, and it showed. The off-season losses of grit guys like Jay McKee and Mike Grier started to finally show. If they end up losing both Briere and Drury to free agency, look for it to affect the Sabres less than expected. The depth of this team still hasn't even been realized, but also look for Regier to acquire some more grit this summer.

The Ducks can thank J.S. Giguere for keeping them in the series when their play wasn't exactly up to par.
