Still sitting at home waiting for my DirecTV. What a waste of a vacation day.
:death:

Sitting at home waiting for the DirecTV guy to show up. Sometime between 8am and Noon. <_<
*looks at clock*

The person that really needs to take the blame on that play is Regier. Why isn't Nathan Horton a Buffalo Sabre? Because Connolly, Hecht, Rivet and Gaustad are too valuable?
:wallbash: :wallbash:
They could have had Horton on a 1 year contract for the 13th pick (Zack Kassian).
I am REALLY looking forward to seeing Kassian in a Sabres uni but I'd have done that trade all day long.

If the refs called all those penalties on Boston last night, all we'd be doing today is complaining about how bad our power play is instead of how bad the refs were.
Yep.
The way the PP was going we'd all be bitching about another game against Boston where we gave up 2 shorthanded goals.
Better those penalties didn't get called. :wallbash:

Was I watching a different game?
It felt to me like no matter how hard the Sabres worked (and they did put in a good effort) they were just barely hanging on to that lead. That game *felt* like it was one mistake away from slipping away. The Sabres put in a good effort and it was all they could do to hang on to a 2-1 lead. They worked hard enough to get chances but weren't GOOD enough to convert them. And then Boston, who seemed content to keep it close, got their chance and in a flash it was in the net, easy as pie.
Boston is going to be in the playoffs because they have the personnel to convert chances in close games they maybe don't deserve to win. Buffalo will be cleaning their lockers out early because they don't have the personnel to convert mistakes into points at critical times in games they played well in.

That's how a playoff team finishes things.

what a surprise, punk ass Boychuk fighting
Punk ass Boychuck won it too. I love that Monty is game but he rarely wins them.
-
I'm hoping that we don't have to see GERBE on the top line tonight, playing there the other night really exposed how bad he's playing. In 37 NHL games he has 2 goals, that just doesn't cut it.
You should've put your request in sooner cuz I don't think Lindy got it in time for the 1st period.
-
I can't say that I've been real impressed with Mancari during any of his previous callups but I do like that we just got a little bigger now that he's in the lineup. I'd like to see him really use that size tonight.

My 2 cents:
1. I'll take the 2 points, and it's great to see Miller back in top form, but I'm not as enthused about this win as others here. Bottom line is that Ottawa is a pretty crappy team right now, and the Sabres were unable to score a single goal. They very easily could have lost that game.
2. The Sabres have one regulation win this entire GD year against a good team (LA). As DeLuca noted, they have a tough schedule next week -- Boston twice, SJ and Pittsburgh. I need to see three wins in those games in order to start feeling optimistic.
3. I'm glad Vanek scored in the SO, but I didn't think he had a great game overall. There is still too much cuteness in his game -- too many times when he has a clear shot from the faceoff circles or closer and instead opts for a fancy pass which inevitably gets deflected. He has a great slapper -- he needs to pull the trigger as often as possible.
4. On the positive side, Miller is really in the zone, and team defense is pretty close to being where it was last year. Weber didn't play quite as well as he did the last couple of games, but still pretty well, and Myers looks like he is back in form -- very confident again. I thought Butler looked pretty decent too.
5. Ennis seems to have found his mojo again. I kinda like the Hecht-Ennis-Kaleta line.
6. Gerbe did zero with his opportunity on the top line. He had at least 2 opportunities to blast a one-timer from the slot and whiffed or shot wide on both of them. He is not an NHL player if he can't create offense.
Damn dude. You took the thoughts right outta my head. STAY OUT OF MY HEAD !!!!!
The biggest concern I have is the no goals in reg against Ottawa. It's freaking Ottawa. They suck and their goalie sucks. And we couldn't put one by him until the skills contest at the very end. They'll need to do better with Boston and San Jose especially.
-
Jack I admire your optimism but this team has all the look of the last 2 teams that missed the playoffs. They've looked that way since the Olympics last year.
-
Who is gone next year - Connolly, Stafford, Rivet...at least the team will look different next year. I hope Miller puts an ultimatum on this organization because this he is not sticking around after his contract.
He has ALOT of contract left.
-
There's an interesting documentary on the Woodstock music festival on the History Channel, if anyone is interested. I remember some of it.
If you remember it you weren't there. :P
-
But what about the Rangers? They spend too much money. The acquire free agents. They change coaches. What about the Rangers. The Rangers. The Rangers.
Sorry, just though I would save some posters time by responding for them.
You forgot chemistry. ZOMG!! THE CHEMISTRY !! you can't change all those players cuz they have chemistry !
-
I still think this is one of those games the we will win because Miller will frustrate Montreal until we score.
LOL
Less than 1 minute before they get their 2nd. I'm thinking Montreal is not nearly as frustrated as you hope they are. :D
-
Darcy? How about all the posters that laughed when the Habs turned over their roster?
Yep. And laughed about choosing Price too.
-
Last season there were alot of games where Buffalo looked outworked but I don't recall games where they looked outclassed (until the playoffs anyway). So far, the Sabres look like they belong in a league below the one Montreal is in.
-
Damn, Montreal took us to school that period.
-
If we play at a .650 clip for the remainder of the season, we'll have 100 points (assuming 3 or 4 of our losses are in OT) and fight for the division crown, not just the playoffs. Things aren't THAT desperate yet haha.
OK, .600 gets them to 90pts. They'll need 85-90 pts in all likelihood to make the show. Close enough for top of my head.
-
Sadly, runs "6 of 10 or 7 of 10" doesn't even get the team back to .500.
I said that because they need to be playing around .650 for the rest of the season to be in a reasonable spot to battle for the 8th position. And no time like the present to get started on it.
-
I don't think anyone is saying that they've been eliminated. What I and some others have said is that the situation the sabres are in is substantially worse than trailing one team by 4 points.
Don't bother. They're using their heart, you are using your head. You'll never understand where each other is coming from.
-
They need to go on a 6 of 10, 7 of 10 run and sustain it. This is almost must win given the hill they need to climb.
Good goalie, good defence, pretty damn good offensive team too. Gut check time.
Can't wait to watch this one.
-
Great first period. Adequate 2nd and 3rd's. Miller looked good. Weber showed alot of grit. And bottom line, they beat a team they need to leapfrog if they want 8th place.
-
LOL And then we give up a shorty. Probably doesn't matter at this point but it is so typical of this team.

Finally. FINALLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DirecTV finished with the install. This will be the first game this season where I'll have the pleasure of watching on a screen bigger than 13.1" in the comfort of my own home.
Sabres better show up. I'm on an emotional speed boat right now. If they crash and burn I don't know how I'll cope.
