  2. [Game Day] Bruins @ Sabres 7:00PM

    Jack Edwards has to be the worst play by play guy ever. The whole he took a dive thing was funny the first couple times but this is getting to be too much. I am glad this is the last game against the Bruins. Death to the NESN network.

    i actually think the guy is very good. he's touigh to take because he's oneof those stererotypically homer hockey announcers, but i think the guy is decent.

    8 wins in a row including several nail-biters...they were due for a clunker. but i agree that you don't just have a bad game "just because." it is because of fatigue, or something that they did or did not do. even if you say for the sake of discussion that ottowa is a better team, that still does not explain the utter domination of the first 2 periods. those early season blowouts are obviously still in the sabres' heads, and when they came out a step slow, the lack of confidence just snowballed. ah well, the beauty of it is we get another crack at them next week. we'll find out if this whole "team unity" thing is for real if they pull together and play harder next time.

    PS I only have one wish for next season and that is Buffalo fans gobble up the seats in the lower bowl for season tickets, so I don't have to see thousands of Leaf fans act like they are playing for the Stanley Cup every time they come to Buffalo. I don't care if they end up in the 300's, just not in the 100's where they are on camera the entire game.

     

    n okidding! i have a pair in the 4th row next to the habs bench for the 4/12 game....i'm starting to worry that i will be surrounded by montreal fans :unsure: !

    As for Miller... you wonder if Darcy and Lindy had some doubts when they kept Biron around. And the million dollar question from Meredith Vieira is whether keeping Biron has messed up Miller's head. Not exactly a vote of confidence.

    if that's the case, i'm glad we kept biron because if miller really let that bother him he's SOFT.

     

    personally i disagree with the premise. i think it's just a little slump. i expect biron to satart and play well tomorrow, which in turn will do wonders for miller's "confidence."

    By the very responses I've read, the Sabres look like they are not Cup contenders, but rather contenders to make the playoffs.

     

    The standards are have been set so low in Buffalo for so many years that the fans are happy if the team is competitive. The fans should be asking management how they plan to win it all.

     

    Ottawa went bankrupt like Buffalo, but they made moves; including a major move to get Heatley. The Sabres, with the current personnel, are vastly outgunned by the Senators. There are too many weak links in the lineup - guys who routinely go on 15-20 games scoring droughts.

     

    I am not suggesting acquiring overpaid, aging veterans. I am suggesting that the 3 headed goalie drama be settled with a quality skater or two coming in. And another free agent or two. The seats won't be filled if they swoon at the end of the year and get booted from the playoffs in the 1st round.

     

    I am suggesting that the guys brought up from Rochester are not ready yet to compete for the Cup. Rochester couldn't win the AHL let alone the NHL. They might be good eventually, but now they are inadequate.

     

    The Sabres will be overmatched against several teams.

     

    I am suggesting that they get somebody who can crack the top 50 in the league in scoring. Drury ranks highest at number 64. This is really pathetic that you guys are satisfied with the way things are going. They need to improve now.

     

    I like the spirit and all, but talent is needed to actually believe they can win the Stanley Cup. That's the whole point.

    i understand the buffalo fan's instinctual need to be negative and bitchy, but this is a little over the top. but rather than duke it out with you point-by-point, i would just add two points.

     

    1. we haveone of the top records in the league while playing a bunch of very young players who are only going to get better. this gives me optimism about our future as a real cup contender. will it happen this year? maybe, maybe not, but we damn near won it all a few years ago with a team that is not as good as this one.

     

    2. briere was one of the top scorers in the league when healthy and will be back before the playoffs. i understand if you don't want to count him as a "top-50 scorer," because technically he isn't. but he sure as hell is a top-50 player.

    after monday's feast in the 3rd pd vs. the isles i am even more jacked up for this game. GO BUFFALO!

     

    i love it when we beat on the leafs, but it is always a little trickier task up there than in buffalo. i've said this about 10 times already this season, but if they win THIS one, then i'll KNOW they're for real! :D
