    Kind of like the arena the last few years.

     

    Here's Mike Harrington's brutally honest assessment:

     

    End-1st: In front of a library-quiet crowd (WHAT IS UP, PEOPLE?), the Sabres have a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes as the Sharks have a 12-9 edge in shots. I really have no idea what the deal is here. This has become the quietest rink in the league, which shows the disconnect the fans have with this team just keeps growing. I couldn't hear myself think for just about the entire game Tuesday in Boston, even when the Bruins were trailing. Not the case here. And before any of you get all defensive about it, several visiting writers have brought up this topic to me this season.

     

    Happy this was brought up...I truly think a huge reason our crowd is so quiet is our GOD-AWFUL public address announcer. I live down in the DC area but maintain my season tickets in Buffalo. Being a teacher (with my lengthy breaks and horrific salary) see about 5 home Sabres games and 5 Caps games per year. The Caps P.A announcer is awesome! Constantly getting the crowd into the game, but not the annoying "our crowd knows nothing I need to explain the game" garbage.The Verizon Center is always rocking. Meanwhile, the Sabres P.A dude sounds like he should be DJ'n a funeral, which I guess in many ways, he is. He is just terrible, my absolute least favorite "JJJJooooooochenn Heeeeeeeeeechhhhhhhhhhhhhht". If you've ever heard him announce a Jochen goal, you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. I cringe with hatred every time.

    San Jose gave it everything they had in the 3rd last night so there is no way they are on top of their game tonight. I believe it's their 5th game in a row on the road. ANYTHING but 2 points in regulation is inexcusable.

     

    You don't have to...but I will "excuse" 2 points in overtime!

    I think they win tonight and lay a HUGE egg in Washington on Wednesday....

     

    Please no, I'll be at that one! (I think you are right though)

     

    I don't know how much it will be an "egg" as much as it will be the Caps are very good and they will be pissed and seeking revenge.
