Well, the Flyers not only took the season series from the Sabres, but swept them as well. I think that's the first time since the 2000-01 season that the Flyers have swept the Sabres.
The Sabres just need a top flight center and they'll be fine. They're a talented team that just needs another center and some leadership. Another defenseman wouldn't hurt either.
Yes both teams are very even all time. But now you have to consider that the Sabres have converted to speed and skill, while the flyers still have size and slow. In the coming years the Sabres will pass them by. Better coaching, better managment, better prospects, huge fan base, no overpaid superstars...thats th Sabres. Better leadership, overpaid superstars...thats the flyers. In my opinion the Sabres are in a good position because they have young talent.
The Sabres have a great farm system, no doubt. But the Flyers also have studs in their system...James VanRiemsdyke(2nd overall pick from 2007), Claude Giroux(22nd overall in 2006) and he could be rookie of the year this season, if he makes the team...Luca Sbisa is a great defensive prospect for them, as is Ryan Parent. They also have Andreas Nodl, who is most likely a sleeper for the team. Even Steve Downie, despite his antics...he was a first round pick for the Flyers and has alot of potential.
As for the Flyers having slow, big players, that's a thing of the past now...Derian Hatcher and Jason Smith are no longer with the team...Hatcher is on LTIR. The Flyers are gradually converting to speed as well. They have Braydon Coburn, Randy Jones, Steve Eminger, Ossi Vaananen, Kimmo Timonen, and Lasse Kukkonen on D, w/Bryan Berard. Timonen, Coburn, and Berard are great puck-moving defensemen and have offensive flair. K.T. is one of the most underrated D-men and Coburn is an emerging D-man.
Briere, Hartnell, Lupul, Richards, Carter, and Knuble are all 20+ goal scorers, with Briere having 30+. Gagne is a 40-goal scorer also...and while having one the deepest lineups down the middle, they also have the deepest set of wingers in the NHL. Their offense is the most balanced in the league(only the Pens have a better 1-2 punch down the middle). And the best part is that the names above, excluding Briere/Knuble, are 26 and under. Gagne is 29. They need a top 4 defender..Biron=question mark
Finally, while I will agree that Lindy Ruff is the best coach in the league, Darcy Reiger is no Paul Holmgren. Especially given that the Sabres have let Briere, Drury, Grier, Campbell(no choice really), and Dumont, go since the summer of 2005. Holmgren, meanwhile, took the Flyers from dead last in the league to a berth in the Eastern Conference Finals, through bold and astute moves, and proper free agent spending. He overpaid for Briere and Hartnell, but that's what happens in the NHL now, w/Cap
The flyers lead the all-time regular season series 66-56-20...The Flyers beat the sabres in the playoffs in 1995,1997, and 2000, while the sabres won in 1998,2001, and 2006. If Sabre fans think they own the flyers, than that's probably because of the past few seasons. But overall, both teams are pretty even against eachother lifetime.
wow the flyers really suck dont they, even though they are one of the final eight teams and the buffalo sabres are just absolutely amazing even though they have been WATCHING the playoffs wondereing what if, and briere is just horrible even though he is leading the nhl in goals and points in the playoffs. Get a life loser
Flyers suck! Let's go Pens! The Flyers are the most hated team by every fan base. I feel sorry that Flyer fans have never seen a pure style of hockey.
Lol.. <3 little kids that know nothing about the game. Philadelphia plays the purest style of hockey you'll find anywhere in the NHL dipshit. Learn the game, then post kiddies.
So I guess when Downie got suspended for half the season that was "pure?" How many suspensions do you have again? No, that's not pure, that's just cheap shotting.
I'd rather have hitters and players that play the game with emotion than a bunch of pussy diving douche bags like Crosby. And as far as the Sabers go, where are they right now? How'd you guys like that Danny Briere goal in the shootout?!
What's that I here? The sound of you pathetic pieces of trash sitting in the garbage can of the Garbage can of the Eastern Conference? Oh yeah, that's right, SABRES SUCK!!
Hey Sabres fans check out the standings to see your team is. So much for being "the face of the new NHL"! Your team is lazy, falling apart and in danger of missing the playoffs.
Sorry but you can't hang with Detroit, Ottawa, Dallas in the league, you know where those teams are consistently good every year?!
i don't care who you like, it's not cool to see anyone get lit up like that. i was at that game too. it was the worst sportsmanship i've ever seen. they just kept playing the replay over and over, now i could see once or 2 times, but 5 or 6 times, thats ridiculous.
This is not a "new" rivalry. We met 8 times in the playoffs (including the 1975 Stanley Cup Finals.) Ther's a lot of history and bad blood between Buffalo and Philadelphia. Most Sabres fans consider you our 2nd biggest rival next to Toronto.
Would you sabres fans shut the fuck up with all the hate? I mean dear god... Yes, I'm a flyers fan, but I don't go to every sabres vid a see and write "ooo sabres suck..." The sabres have had a bad year and so have the flyers. It happens to evry single team in the leauge. You sabres fan think that one losing season is a sign that the team will be bad forever. Well I've got news for you: Buffalo will have a season as the worst team in the leauge. Whether it's 2008 or 2065, it's gonna happen
And what do you have to show for it? A few highlights that show your Sabres in a good light? Wow. You are the shit. Meanwhile, we have 2 Cups with one of those Cup wins being over your Sabres. Say whatever you want about the Flyers or Philly, we at least have some titles in our town. Oh by the way, nice choke job against the Senators. I loved it as did many Flyer fans.
well if you were talking about last year i would agree but since u said THIS YEAR... we got hartnell and timmonen from the preds, briere from buffalo, and smith and lupul from edmonton. and we barely had to give up anything to get those guys. no, philly will be a contender this year
god damn what a hit

Ottawa Senators win the 2007 Eastern Conference Champioship 4-1.
In 2006 Hurricanes won 4-3 over Slugs to win ECF.
So it looks like the Buffahoe Slugs get OWNED by other teams.
