Count me among those who are stunned by the Ottawa Senators' three games to nothing lead in the Eastern (Wales!) Conference final over the suddenly inept Buffalo Sabres. Yes, I know that the Sabres haven't been clicking on all cylinders so far in the playoffs, but the fact of the matter is that these teams have now played a little over 10 periods of hockey in their series, and Ottawa has been the better team in nine of them. While I hesitate to say that the series is over, you know that the end can't be far off when the team on the bad end of the 3-0 series is reduced to whining about the officiating.
Out west (in the CAMPBELL Conference), Anaheim and Detroit are knotted up at a game apiece, with the pivotal Game Three tonight. So far, I have not really been impressed by either team. I think that for the Ducks to win the series, they really need to win both games at home. Regardless, I can see the series going at least six games.
