That...or the rest of the league has now finally figured out how to slow down our offense. Belak called our team out as a bunch of pu$$ies who can be muscled around, and so far we are not responding well.
That's the same thing everyone was saying at the end of our road trip out West last year. They will snap out of it.

Thank God it's January and not April
Exactly. Everyone needs to keep a deep breath and relax. As I've said before and I'm sure I will have to say a few more times. It's an 82 game season. There are going to be ups and downs. We're on a down right now. The important part is to make the ups last longer than the downs.

Turning into one of those nights ... or weeks ... where they can't finish. Spacek just hit the post ... ugh.
And Denis is having a good night.
-
Right along the ice between his legs. It's not his fault they are losing this game, just saying that's one I'm sure he wants back.
It was a hard one timer as well. Not like he had all the time in the world to get set.
-
At least you're not putting words in my mouth. Just calling it as it is.
It wasn't that bad.
EDIT: It's your mention of Marty that bothered me. Marty has a history of softies late in the game. Miller does not. That's why we get mad.
-
that was a bad goal by miller ... if that was marty we'd be running him out of town.
You're right, we should put Marty in.
-
i heard that guy. he also dropped an "f bomb" during the first period. I heard miller use the f word too when he misplayed a puck behind the net. There's a renegade live mic somewhere. maybe razyor doesn't have his off and its pointing out? who knows.
The sabres have had one good stretch in the 2nd period. luckily they scored twice. Unfortunately, its tied at 2 after 2. This game has the feel of either an OT thriller or yet another game hwere we come out dead tired in the 3rd and the opposition slowly takes the game from us. Hopefully we'll go the OT winner route!
How about we score a few in the third.

damn it, my secret identity has been revealed. Because of my blatent forgettfulness, i announce that I am indeed Tim Connolly. DCSabres saw my wingman/underware model posing as "Corp000085". Touche hopeleslyobvious for outing me!
:lol:

7pm
If thursday's game told us one thing, its that the Sabres hit a wall. When they play well, they played AWESOME... However, those spots were few and far between. One bright spot from thursday's game was the Power Play. Yes, they let a 5 on 3 get away, but they did convert 2 later in the game... The sabres need to use that PP momentum and gain some confidence. This is a team that's holding onto the 8 spot right now... This is a team that will probably remember that 7-1 (i think?) thrashing we gave them a couple months ago. The sabres will have to play mentally strong and use the "underdog" roll. That's Lindy's job though. I'd like for tonight to be the beginning of another string of victories leading up to the all star break.
They didn't seem to remember the 7-1 game the last time the two teams met.

It doesn't matter how many big saves you make if you can't make the average save when the game is on the line in the 3rd period.
Couldn't have put it better myself.
-
2 thoughts.
1. It was really obvious that the Sabres were playing their 2nd game in 2 nights.
2. I agree with everyone that Marty played a good 50 minutes. But late in the game when his team needed him, he was not there. Turn the pressure up, and he disappears.
-
that was an awful call on the trip to kubina, but no worse than briere throwing himself in to the crease earlier in the game
you guys have to start seeing it both ways - this game is not being officated in either teams' favor. i'm sure nobody noticed the quick hook that Hecht got away with about 20 seconds after the Kubina tripping call
And what about when Kotalik got tripped after finishing his check?
Max's hit was technically interference, but how often does that get called when they are that close to the puck?
-
I'll still take 35 saves on 36 shots.
-
I thought the puck movement on the PP was good, and they generated a couple of quality scoring chances. Khabibulin made some big stops. No goals, but they look improved on the PP.
-
Might be the understatement of the night. Who says Canadian teams don't get more calls at home? ;)
That was a typical Marty performance, and IMO, the main reason that his career potential is in that nether region between starters and backups - he manages to look solid and shaky in the same game.
Tonight's game reminds me of why he never took control of the Sabres' goaltending situation after Dom left - too many games where he would stop 27, 28, 29 shots, let in two that weren't his fault and one absolute killer-bad goal. Main difference now is we win those games 4-3, whereas earlier we would lose those games 3-2...
I don't mind soft goals, they happen. It's just the timing of Marty's soft goals. Toronto was beat tonight, they looked out of it. Marty lets that one in, and they came back to life for the last 5 minutes.
-
I agree. The refs have been brutal tonight. Glad we got the win tonight. Marty was great for us tonight.
Marty looked very good at times, but that third goal is very typical of him. Letting in one he should have had on a crucial situation. One of the main reasons I have never been a big fan of his.
-
Typical Marty goal.
-
teppo got robbed with that penalty. the guy dove!
No kidding. They need to knock it off with holding calls every time the hand comes off the stick. Teppo's free hand was nowhere near the guy.
-
I know it is early....but Biron has made some HUGE saves. Hope he stays this hot all game.
And if he keeps it up he can at least make his SV% look respectable.
-
I still fail to see how starting Marty would've sparked the team. Unless he could clear the puck on the first PK and QB the PP...
-
Woops, sorry. No, I was just frustrated with this loss. Miller was pulled.
I was frustrated to see Moore get the goal after his Oscar worthy performance.
-
yep, will prob lose to this BS team, at home, what a joke...i fin hate $hittsburgh, the entire city, what a dump
Classy.
-
Ugh, I knew they were going to get an empty netter when Biron was pulled.
Biron played tonight?
-
We're down by a goal with a period left. Why is everyone giving up already?

You need to tell the Buffalo sports fan in you that it's not being rational. We had worse stretches last year, and a very similar team and turned things around just fine. Would you rather the Sabres stumble now or in April?
