http://blog.dallasstars.com/archives/2006/05/nice_call.html check this out. more things to make you mad. if mckee is out, and we win, what more can you say about this group. i am going to watch and hope.

Ruff will have his boys ready. He'll give them the speech on how everyone expects them to fold their tents due to another injury. The Canes still think (like all the others before) that it's just a matter of time before they win. Buffalo will come out and rally around each other. Miller needs to be the main man. If he is, we will be fine. Nothing like heart!!!!!!

I don't care if they call penalties, but the problem was, they weren't. That was a 5 - 3 for sure when Max got crosschecked. That is obvious. Drury did the same thing and got called. I'm choked. Lost too many faceoffs as well.

Old NHL reffing. Brutal

Brutal period for Buffalo, yet only down by one. They need to take it to Ottawa from here on out, or they're going back to Sensland. Miller was great.

To come back, FIVE TIMES, and not give up made me so proud to support the boys. I told the wife, it's not about Miller getting good #'s, it's about winning the highscoring games too. Miller let out some very fat rebounds tonight and will need to improve on that for sure. But to come back 5 times, once with just under 2 minutes to go, and then have to do it again with less than 12 seconds, shows you how hard our guys play. We didn't play well tonight and still won. That says a lot. We get shots on goal and we win this going away.

It looks as if 2 will do it, but can we get that 2nd goal?? 2 zip, we win this. 1-1, toss up.

Miller was awful on that 4th goal. Shocking. Brutal. No #%^$#!ing excuse for it. The 3rd was deflected by another teammate. This series should be over tonite, but our inexperience has shown. I'm pissed. Biron for game 5!

You guys are f'd up! lol

Good to see Miller hasn't changed too much with his time off. Still giving up the first two goals (so far) once again. Bad move. Biron has won two in a row and should have gotten the start. Miller is the backup imo.

Does Miller have an anchor tied to his ass? How deep was he in his crease on the 6th goal?? Had plenty of time to get to the top of the crease. Brutal. lose the game. lose the fightl. my gawd

So we'll get in and then continue to slide all the way down to 8th??? That would be sweet. Not.

What happened to our team speed? This team is in serious trouble. Those who think otherwise are in denial. I know we got away with a lot of wins that we shouldn't have in the 8 game streak but at least we were skating and creating opps. To be blown out 5 zip in the first period on HNIC across the entire Country, this is a joke. I rarely get to see us play except for hilights and then I get to witness this?? Terrible terrible time to play like this. 5 zip to the friggin stinkin Leafs is unbelievable. Unreal. I cannot believe it. Ruff better go postal between intermisson or else.

Is Drury hurt? I have barely heard his name.

Well here comes the first penalty. Whatever refs. Don't start giving out token calls now. The Devils are robots. Robots don't take penalties.

I hear ya. But I've never enjoyed teams that play like NJ. It's terrible. This game of hockey is supposed to be entertaining. Can the odd game be one where you really clamp down? Sure. But 82 times a year??? No wonder that building is half empty every night Minnesota does it too. Last night's game against Vancity was a yawner until Van finally broke through at the very end. Buffalo had a good first period tonight. Nothing much since. I wonder if NJ will take a penalty?? Connolly scores!!!

I find it amazing that an NHL team can go a whole game without a player committing an offence worth a penalty. Apparently other than the bench minor, the Devils are a perfect group of men who never do anything worthy of a penalty. If Buffalo ends up playing NJ in the playoffs, it is over. As a fan of Buffalo and Vancouver I appreciate that they "try" to score lots of goals and don't just sit back and play boring boring BORING HOCKEY. NJ, Minny are both embarassments to the game.

Devils could win this 1-0. I hate the Devils. They are so gawd darn boring it's almost as bad as watching the Wild. The Sabres do not fair well against the Devils. I hope they can pull it out tonight but I won't hold my breath. A win could help the Devils possibly miss the dance. Come on Sabres

Sabres get back on track tonight with a convincing 6-2 win.

Not that the 3 stars mean anything, but how does NYR get all 3? Briere's 3 points weren't more impressive than Rucchin's game tonight?????

It isn't that they are losing, it's the way they are losing. It's unacceptable to be completely outplayed in back to back games, at this time of the year, or any for that matter. They've been getting by lately with timely goals while not playing well. Now the goals are drying up and they aren't getting any shots on goal. Losing is kinda fine if you are working hard and not getting rewarded. Clearly these past few games they haven't been working hard.

It seems they've hit the wall a bit here. Too many times they were getting behind but still winning. Bad habits creep in when that happens. They aren't working hard enough, obviously. 3 shots after 25 minutes?? my gawd. This is not a good time to start playing poorly. Hopefully they can get ignited again or it could be an early exit come playoff time. And what is with all the penalties they are taking nowadays?? Bad habits. Bad bad habits.

I hope I'm wrong, but I have a bad feeling about tonight's game.

I posted it the other day, that I am not feeling good about Miller's play. That keeping Biron was the right thing to do. No allegiance to who "was" winning, but who "is" winning. Miller has lost his mojo. It's time for him to watch some games from the pine.

it's 2-1 after one. what gives with the 3-1 post?
