Buffalo 3, Ottawa 2 (OT)

Using what has to be one of the most stunning game-winning goals ever, the Buffalo Sabres ousted the Ottawa Senators from the playoffs. Speeding down the left wing, Sabres forward Jason Pominville turned the corner on Senators forward Daniel Alfredsson and stuffed the puck past goaltender Ray Emery to win the game -- and the series -- for Buffalo. I have seen the replay a few times and still can't believe how easily Pominville got around Alfredsson. James Mirtle calls Alfredsson out for what happened: How Daniel Alfredsson, the captain and spiritual leader of this Ottawa team, can be beaten to the outside in overtime in an elimination game by any one is unfathomable. Whether it was Jason Pominville, Wayne Gretzky, Charlie Huddy, Dominik Hasek or Hamburgler streaking in, you make sure that player doesn't cut in front of the net. It was downright disgraceful. TSN.ca's Bob McKenzie and ESPN.com's Scott Burnside both speculate as to who may or may not be back in Ottawa come September. I wasn't even close on this series, predicting Ottawa in six games. Overall playoff record: 6-4 UPDATE: Senators GM John Muckler is saying that there will be no major changes to the team that finished with the second-best record in the league this year. Muckler might want to ask head coach Bryan Murray what he thinks of that assessment.
