This is a big one.....Outside of Ottawa...the Devils are the one team that I am very cautious of
Dude, I LOVE your avatar. Priceless!

I've read this in the papers this morning, and I like it:
"The Bruins mustered just three shots in the third period, and none after Dumont's goal."
Great job boys.
That play was off side, anyone else see that?
I've been very disappointed with the NHL linesmen this year. I have Tivo, and I'm a USA Hockey Referee, and I always notice offsides when it happens (can't help myself). I usually replay in slow motion and I'm usually right.
I think you're referring to the third period last night when a big Boston DMan (Gill?) carried the puck sideways across the blue line and the forward was in ahead of the play. Linesman waved it good, even though Gill kept the puck on the blue line as the forward entered the zone. Hey linesman - the entire puck must cross the line FIRST! Don't anticipate!
The linesmen's bad calls have been very disturbing to me this year. There are too many of them.

The Sabres on TV. What more do you need in life?
How 'bout the Sabres on TV, WINNING A FRIGGIN GAME, GDAMMIT!!!!!
I'm just a little frustrated.
GET PISSED SABRES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS-
Go Tigers.
Just a little frustrated? I'd say so. I think you're frustrated enough for a 3-State killing spree.

Ah, yes, there's the rub. :: PASabreFan strokes his beard ::
Don't need to know about you stroking anything!

I don't agree that this is a good break for the Sabres, pun intended. It's fortunate if you're just worried about getting the two points, but the points aren't the point right now. The point is to prove that you can beat Ottawa, but without Chara, Ottawa isn't Ottawa, if you know what I mean. Beating a Chara-less Senator team would almost take the lustre off of the win, make it less impressive. "Oh, sure, they beat Ottawa, but Ottawa didn't have Chara that night." Am I making any sense? Probably not.
Yeah, and how many times did Ottawa beat the Sabres when the Sabres weren't at full strength? It goes both ways.
-
Oh, and Ottawa is without Frankenchara (or is it Charastein?)
I like Frankenchara better than Charastein.

Hey Tallinder, if you're going to take a holding call, tackle the son-of-a-bitch! Don't leave his stick and his face free to bat the puck out of your goalie's glove. C'mon!!!
Four friggin goalposts tonight. GDammit!!!

(although I think Kalinin has looked good tonight)
Kalinin has looked like azz lately. He can't handle the puck, misplays it more than he makes the right play. He looks nervous and tentative.
Yea, and I think the officiating has been piss poor for the 2nd game in a row...not that I ever think its particually great, but its been especially bad the last 2 games
1. Briere WAS tripped and no call in the third.
2. Boulton knocked McKee down from behind, no call. Then he cross checked McKee from behind into the boards, no call.
3. Roy was flattened from behind when digging at Lehtonen, no call.
4. Afinogenov hooked leaving the defensive zone, no call.
5. Tallinder tripped and then flattened, leading to a Thrashers goal, no call.
Piss-poor officiating tonight.
Stupid penalties by the Sabres:
Vanek slash about 5 seconds into a power play and checking Mellanby from behind starting a melee. Thomas - you don't need to be doing that stuff. You can play hard and be mad at your coach for benching you without taking stupid penalties.
Biron slash on Holik after Holik flattened Kotalik. Stupid stupid stupid. The hit was clean. The slash was stupid.
I'd like to know how Peters got 4 minutes and Mellanby, who slashed him, got nothing.
Modry intentionally played the puck while heading to the bench with his replacement on the ice already. He kicked it away from Dumont to the center of the ice with his right skate. Should've been a penalty. Brutal.
I won't even mention the awful linesman calls I've been noticing lately. Lot's of offsides are getting screwed up.
It seems as though that crew had it in for the Sabres last night. Not saying that they actually DID have it in for them, but that's the perception.
-
-One last note...Did Vanek get benched for the 3rd period or did I just not notice him on the ice?
GO SABRES!!!!
I didn't see Vanek on the ice after the 3 on 1 while up 5 on 3 that resulted in nothing. I think Lindy was a little pissed about that one, as we all were.
-
I'll be at the game tonight. Section 121, Row J, 19 and 20. Great seats from a season ticket holding friend of mine. Anyone else going? Where ya gonna be?
-
They were complaining that they were so far away from the ice surface. I was yelling at them the whole game. Coupla morons. Can't stand that thick-azz Boston accent on Brickley, either.

Who writes this crap?

Carolina will return from the Olympic break on March 1 against Boston, while Buffalo will next play on March 3 against Toronto.

Buffalo next plays on March 1st against Atlanta.
If find this an intersting tidbit:
..It was the Sabres fourth overtime game in their last five contests.
They've done pretty well considering how much hockey they've played.
It's gonna be grueling down the stretch, but it will be grueling for everyone.

Again, I think that's why it was smart to play Miller. You see what he has in that situation. You can look at his performance either way. He played very well in regulation time and was incredible in the overtime... but... he allowed six goals in the game. The results should help Lindy craft a plan during the break for goaltender rotation.
He allowed 6 goals? So was the score 6-3? He allowed 3 goals, and stopped 3 of 6 clear breakaways, 3 of 7 if you count the one near the end of the game.
Lindy will never have a plan for the goalies.
The shootout shows where not having Briere and Conolly really hurts. Those two are amazing on breakaways. If we had them instead of Pominville and Dumont shooting, I think we'd have won the game.
-
That sucks. I feel horrible for Jochen. He missed that perfect pass from Vanek and because of it got hurt. If he scores he doesn't turn his leg or body that way.
Looking at the pass from the top-view camera, the puck hit Huet's stick knob and deflected. That's why he missed it.
He's lucky it's only a mild sprain. He could've done much worse. Maybe Briere comes back now to fill in.
Sabres played crappy tonight. Every player made bad passes, and whiffed on several others. Just out of sync, I guess.
-
-Screw you Habs fans and your stupid chant "ole, ole, ole..." or whatever it is your chanting. :angry:
MUCK FONTREAL FANS!
-
Ha, speaking of the Devils...according to the score right before the break, we're beating them 2-1.
Yeah, I saw that too. I had to look twice! Thank God for Tivo!

-I've said it all year and last night was a perfect example. You don't want Campbell on the blueline come playoff time. He was directly responsible for both goals. First one has was dogging it on the backcheck after an ill advised pinch. Second one, we has just caught napping as Kovolev got behind him. Dress him as a 7th defenseman for the PP, but do not use him in the regular rotation come playoff time.
-Anybody else feel Tallinder is quietly becoming the Sabres best overall defenseman?
I agree that Campbell didn't skate his hardest on the backcheck on the first goal. The pinch was NOT ill advised, as they were on the power play. They showed an endzone view of the play and he was going to keep the puck in the zone with his skate, and Higgins deflected it ever so slightly just before it would've contacted Campbell's skate. Campbell did dog it on the backcheck, however, and I'm sure Lindy will chew his ass for it.
Tallinder is playing well, but he still scares me. I don't have complete confidence in him yet.

this game will seperate the men from the boys... my prediction: sabres 4 flyers 2
Dude, right on! Play the lottery today!

Cool that it's just the last 3 seasons, right? We'll forget about the 5 shutouts in 40 games. Oh, but that was more than 3 seasons ago. He IS down too early and too often, you're right there; I disagree on you assessment of his puckhandling, but I'll recognize that he gives up rebounds that are way too tasty to opposing forwards.
He is not the goalie that most people thought/think/will think. My point, which I note was not directed towards you, is that many would be irritated that Biron let in 4, but if Miller lets in the same 4, there's no problem.
There's only one goal that went in tonight that Miller had any chance on, and that was a deflection on a rush (the shorthanded one).
He played spectacularly tonight.
I'm not down on Biron, but I feel a whole lot better when Miller starts, and I'll bet everyone else does, too.
That call on Grier was Horseshiat, but so was the tripping call on Steen when Vanek tripped over his own feet.
Vanek is coming on, boys. He's controlling play a bit more, and he's crafty with the puck. Good to see!
Pominville is really impressive, too.
The future is bright!

I fear the worst for Connolly. I've torn both ACL's and I was able to walk on both of them, although they were both unstable. I watched it in slow motion on my Tivo and his knee whipped (hyperextended). If it went too far (can't tell), it could easily be a torn ACL. I certainly hope not. He was really flying when he got hit. I never realized he was that fast. It's a darn shame. Someone should clean Kasparaitis' clock. Grier was trying to, but the puxxy wouldn't go. Typical.

The Toronto writers apparently don't know that the Sabres' road winning streak ended in Florida. Biggest homer media in the NHL. You always have to read between the lines.
Agreed. I found that quite annoying. I think it was mentioned in two different articles. Way to go, boys!

2nd game of a back-to-back. They had no legs, and the Sharks were flying what with the Thornton trade.
Only one goal I blame on the goalies. The rest were poor defense and turnovers.

Both embarassments to the game were caused by the same buy, Jacques Lemaire. I said to my friends when NJ beat Detroit in the 95 Finals that their winning the cup would be the ruination of hockey. I hate that I was right. Everyone started copying the Devils and look what happened.
