Sabres go up 2-0 and Canucks tie Series

The Sabres take a 2-0 lead in the Series and with a lacklustre performance. The Rangers out shot Buffalo 13-4 in the first period and 33 to 18 overall, but could not score. TSN's Darren Dreger points out that the Rangers are going to need a bigger contribution from Brendan Shanahan. Game 3 goes tomorrow afternoon at 2pm in Madison Square Garden. It will be the Rangers biggest game of the year, they drop that one and we may start hearing the word ''sweep'' from the Buffalo fans.

Buffalo coach, Lindy Ruff, was fuming on a non call on an off-side, which TSN's Bob Mckenzie disagred with,and I agree with McKenzie, I saw the replay. Hopefully Ruff will have cooled off by the start of game 3.

The Vancouver Canucks have tied the Series with a 2-1 win in double overtime. TSN's Bob Mckenzie pointed out the inspired play by the Canucks. It was a team effort and the best performance by any team in the playoffs so far. I did not see the game, so I will take McKenzie's word for it.
