This is me with my shiny new playoff tickets (not my best angle): 
In case you can't tell, I'm really excited. We're now officially the Eastern Conference regular season champs, we played 60 minutes of really solid hockey tonight while beating the Pittsburgh Crosbys, (seriously, Versus, give it a rest - we GET IT!) and we're finally, finally starting to get everyone back from their various injuries including - dare I say it? - my dear sweet Timmy.
As far as the playoffs go, I'm not SUPER concerned with anyone in the Eastern conference though I think Tampa Bay would give us the least amount of trouble. They can score but if you can contain Vinny and St. Louis, they can struggle to get offense elsewhere. And I don't think they have the defense or goaltending to negate Buffalo's offense. I would probably be the most nervous about Montreal, especially if Huet gets back and gets hot, but I'm not as worried about them as I was at the beginning of the season for some reason. Ottawa could definitely be a tough match-up as well, but if they meet Pittsburgh in the first round, I'm not sure they're advancing. Just a gut feeling. If we play as well as we can, we should win the Conference. "Should" and "will" are two totally different things but I'm optimistic. For tonight atleast.
Because I'm still missing Marty: Marty welcomes Takeo Spikes to Philly. (Spikes is a former Buffalo Bill who was recently traded to the Eagles.)
Also, a fan written parody song about Derek Roy, The Derek Roy Rhapsody. I love Derek and I think he's really cut back on the diving this season a ton, but he can be a bit of a whiner. As much as I enjoy watching him play, I will admit the song totally cracked me up.

Also, WGR tries to deal with Marty's loss: Mic'd Up With... Ty Conklin?!
Poor Ty. The guy has no idea what's he walked into...

Keep Falling for the Joke, Rook
Not as funny as some of the other things WGR has done, but for Marty
fans it's worth listening to for the "Hey, Lindy" bit stuck in the
middle. Warning: This is clearly coming from the
Buffalo point of view.
The Ottawa Song: Brawling Remix
Also, Marty with the Rookies (of whom there are MANY right now...:::sigh:::)

Marty... Marty, Why'd You Make Me Do This?
Since we got to hear the Ray Emery ditty a few weeks back, allow me to present, for your listening enjoyment, Sabres Delight. WGR has a lot of fun with Marty Biron and his chatty personality (he never shuts up) and the "Hey, Lindy... Nothing" bit is a running gag. I have no idea if this is funny to non-Sabres fans (although I know Sherry enjoyed it) since half the fun is that they totally nailed each player's voice and personality but hey, enjoy!
And just for fun, my favorite Marty video of all-time:
