Keep it in the room Lehner. You had a choice when Burrows was trying to get you off your game. Take one for the team or go batshite crazy and get called. The officials arm shoots up when Burrows slashes your pad and instead of going on a powerplay or it being evened up because of falk coming to your rescue you attack Burrows. This is every teams gameplan when it comes to Lehner. Get him off his game. Burrows has been doing this forever. Worked to a tee last night. Lehner dropping the ball about his team mates after the game will not go over well in that room nor should it.

Nights guys. I'm done.

Brent Burns two points behind McJesus. Did I hear that right ?

O.K. boys rally towels. This is it. EPIC COMEBACK STARTS NOW !

These penalties are on the players. Bag skate these guys next practice. You can't blame this shite on officiating.

At least our penalty killing is improving. :w00t:

Another stupid penalty. WTF is wrong with these guys. 5-1 powerplays in favour of Van.

We're on the road to nowhere...

Lehner needs to dial back his aggressiveness when guys like Burrows get under his skin. Burrows has made a career of this type of thing and frankly is making Lehner look the fool. If we go into a playoff series with Lehner he will lose us games because he can't control his emotions.

They won a game they needed to win. Great first period. Weathered the storm the rest of the way. Lehner was solid. Priceless. That's entertainment.

That was a great period.

Thats my fear. For once I'd like us to dictate play.

Yes sir

Hopefully we don't get embarrassed on Hockey night in Canada. That always sucks. It would be cool to see a real barnburner. 70's style hockey with a -ton of goals and then o.t. GO SABRES!

Boston has swept us and they've just fired their coach. Let that sink in.

I am a glutton for punishment. I must be. Most of us are. The last 10 years has been hard. The only dirt on my Sabres hats is closet dust but I do have a thick skin and usually get past the constant ribbing from friends and relatives about my allegiance to this team by ignoring the obvious that ( they mostly suck ) and keep my mind on the big picture. Is it insanity that leads us here ? We believe that one day they will be good but is there any truth in that statement ? I live in the moment but this team always makes me think of the future. Its probably not healthy. Fans of the successful teams always seem to enjoy the good times now. In the moment. Why not the Sabres ? This team sucked me in at the age of 10 and I haven't been able to shake it. So I have been a follower of the sabres for 42 years now. The good times smooth out the bad times for me but the balance is weighted more to the dark side than the side of light. Hopefully things come around soon because the losing doesn't seem to cause as much discomfort as it used to. That isn't a good sign for myself or the franchise. They shouldn't want to lose fans like me who they've held onto for a lifetime. But yeah, I do like following this damn team.

Trim the fat

Fell asleep when it was 2-1 ( as did the Sabres apparently ) and woke up to a 4-1 score. First time I've nodded off watching a game this year. Unbelievable its taken this long for them to put me to sleep. Ducks had something like 62 shot attempts to the Sabres 32. All too often during the parts I was awake for they passed up a chance at a shot on net to try and get fancy. Not sure if this is part of DDs gameplan or not. That Ducks team is deep on D and has lots 'o' grit. And as we alluded to before is heavy on the douche factor which I think helps teams win. Anyways the Leafs Sat. and the Nucks Sun. Good luck boys. You'll need it.

I swear sometimes it looks like these guys are playing hot potato out there. Its like no one wants possession of the puck.

What are facks Robbie Ray ?

That team is loaded with douche

Shadow boxing

Come on Rob Ray who says faceoffs aren't important ? Jackie boy !

atta boy ! We got this. Now lets go get it. GO SABRES !
