Senators are doing incredibly well

Now that they are playing in the third round, conference finals, stanley cup semi-finals. It is great to see them playing as well as they are. The Ottawa Senators looked amazing in Game 1 against the Buffalo Sabres. They were able to stop every advances that the Sabres were trying to make and they got away with a few short hand chances (BTW:Nice shot Mike Fisher)
In Game 1 it was hard to tell if it was Ottawa that looked so good or if it was Buffalo that look so bad.
Now to Game 2, Buffalo came out strong, it seemed like they had found a way to keep Ottawa against the rope as they proceed to deliver blow after blow and take the lead of 2-0 in the first period. I expected Buffalo to come out strong. Heck, I even expected them to WIN. but by the end of the second period, Buffalo didn't look so good anymore. They were being stopped by Ottawa and it got to the point where from that point on most of the game was played in the Buffalo end (Not a good thing when you want to win, but it was great for Ottawa Fans) With 5.8 seconds left in the third, Miller (goalie) on the bench, the sixth attacker out there, Buffalo tied the Game. All of us watching the game's heart stopped, we couldn't believe it.
An entire overtime period goes by, no score, but fantastic hockey. Less than 5 minutes into the next overtime period. It came to a quick end with a beautiful point shot by Joe Corvo.

Ottawa is up 2-0 in a series. That the first time in this franchise history. First time they win in overtime in a playoff. It is an exciting time to be a Sens fan
GO SENS GO

At CanGames we were watching Saturday's game while trying to play our own. It was fun to get regular updates! When they won there was a roar that swept through the gaming floor! Go Sens Go!
