  1. Whew! I haven't seen that many goals scored since the goalie strike of 1943. :P

     

    Sabres didn't let the defensive disaster known as the second period get into their heads. They played a strong third period. What did they used to say about the Bills during the early 90s? Oh yeah, relentless.

     

    Cheers!

  2. The Sabres were way off sync tonight. Passing was consistently off the mark and everytime they had a good shot they either wiffed or couldn't handle the feed. Although they were skating better than the last time they played Florida, they were not mentally working. They better work on passing techniques prior to the Tampa game.

  3. WOW! Drury's goal was great. He had a clear shot to the water bottle - gotta love those little green targets. :)

     

    Nice pass from Connolly to Campbell... Normally that play would've been Connolly losing the puck between his skates or fanned pass attempt. Some reason when the Sabres have an open net they tend to fan out of anxiety. But not on that play! Highly entertaining 3rd and OT.

     

    BTW... How 'bout them killing that 4 on 3, 5 on 3, 5 on 4 sequence.

     

    Nice job tonight.

  4. This team will advance to no less than the second round of the playoffs.

     

    You heard it here first.

    I'll take it considering they were supposed to finish 13th in the conference. ;) Besides, I find this club to be entertaining 85% of the time and then down right frustrating the other 15%. They have my support no matter what place they finish this year or how far they get in the playoffs, but I guess that is why I call myself a Sabres fan.

  5. Although I see your point about pulling Mika, I still think that I would've stuck with the goalie whose adrenaline was still flowing from playing the game then to go to the cold goalie. Yes Mika probably would've allowed the other two goals but it was all but guaranteed that Marty was going to.

     

    If they were worried about Mika extending his injury then they should've pulled him when he got hurt.

  6. Ok. I have 3 things to say about tonights game.

     

    1. Sabres should've won that game. They were being penalized for the same things the Rangers were doing. Hmm....

     

    2. Ruff made a HUGE mistake to put a cold goaltender (who is known to allow goals on early shot) in for the last 2 shootout shooters. What was he thinking. I think that move alone should question whether he treats players fairly despite personal differences. :angry:

     

    3. What is up with all these lawyer commerials on Buffalo TV? No wonder the economy is sh#t there. Your only industry is court because everyone is sueing the crap out of each other. :(

     

    WOW. I still gotta say, from what I've seen so far this year, this team will make the playoffs and I hope that they are hitting on all cylinders when the playoffs start.

  7. I've noticed that in the last 5 games our defense turns the puck over in our zone way way way too much. We may have some young offensive talent but our defense out right stinks. McKee turns it over way too much but at least he can block shots. Campbell is pretty good. Kotalik (sp?) has a cannon at least but the rest could be replaced.
