How do you all think we would have faired against Philly, had we overcome Boston in the Quarters? |

Well, I think the Sabres would have played a more wide-open game against Philly, and I think that plays to the Sabres' strengths. That being said, I think Philly is just as dangerous as the Bruins, so that might even it back up again. I would've expected the Sabres to get bounced in six games against Philly after seeing what they did to NJ and how they keep fighting back against Boston. |

Tough to say, I think that failing to stay out of the box hurt them vs. Boston and could have vs. any team they play really. But I don't think Boucher is better than Miller lol. And I don't think the Flyers have a better team, Sabres in 5. |

First round Boucher looked like Brodeur. Second round he looks like Cloutier. Who knows? |

I think Boston is superior to Philly, and that they would have been a much more favorable match up for us. Lindy I'm sure would love some playoff payback on laviolette. Montreal and Boston were two teams I didn't feel great about going in. |

We would have had Montreal if we advanced to the second round. They handled the Habs well in the regular season. It would just be a matter of beating Halak and I'm not sure how well I can guess on that one |

Had we won pour last game of the season we would have played Philly and honestly I would probably feel better looking at the outcome now. Or even had we advanced I don't think it would have been too hard. I honestly think we would have dealt with Boucher much easier than Rask of course. |

It would have been Sabres-Habs and Penguins-Flyers |

Boucher played just as good as, if not better than Rask in the first round though. |

I'd like to think of it as... If boston can put up this many goals against Philly, think what we could have done? |

Boucher played just as good as, if not better than Rask in the first round though. That is true, he was number one in SV% and GAA I think. He [played out of his mind, but had we had them second round I think we would have lit them up, who knows now though. We're out of the playoffs and can only speculate now. |

We're out of the playoffs and can only speculate now. boucher had a spectacular season in 99-00, but he never really regained that play again. but, honestly, i feel he is alot better then people make him out to be. hes kind of a fringe player. if a team took a chance, and let him play 40 games, he could earn some decent numbers, maybe even a .910 save percentage kinda season. (i use save percentage as a gauge) |

Don't worry Irony, I like SV% over GAA also. |

yeah, outside wins, which is subjective, save percentage is alot better to gauge a goaltender with. |
