Can the Sabres finish off the Bruins in five games?

Fans in Western New York are set to explode.

Following a 6-1 thrashing of the Boston Bruins in Game 4 of the Atlantic Division Semifinals on Sunday afternoon, the Buffalo Sabres grabbed a 3-1 series lead and have a chance to clinch the series on home ice.

Despite the Bruins coming away with a win in Buffalo back in Game 2, the Sarbes have certainly provided the excitement so far in this series. With taking both games in enemy territory, including a blowout victory, they have all the momentum as the series returns to KeyBank Center. The question is – can they get it done, and not risk having to go back to Boston for Game 6?

Buffalo is just one win away from clinching its first playoff series since 2007, when the likes of Danny Briere, Chris Drury and Ryan Miller were the stars of the show.

On Monday’s edition of Daily Faceoff LIVE, Tyler Yaremchuk and Carter Hutton discussed whether the Sabres could eliminate the Bruins on Tuesday night.

Tyler Yaremchuk: The Sabres have a ___ percent chance of winning this series up 3-1?

Carter Hutton: I wanted to go higher, but I’ll go 90%. I wanted to almost say 100, because the way that the Sabers team looked and the way that the Boston Bruins were possessing the puck and turning it over, it was nonstop. It was simple plays, too, right? I mean, this isn’t the first period where it’s F1 forechecking. F2 is right behind. Puck turns over, in the back of their net. Consistency. It looked like the Bruins were stunned at the way that this game started. It felt like Buffalo just needed to get away from the KeyBank Center and play a little free. I expect them to be great in Game 5 as well.
