Kinda like what Ottawa just did to us...... :ph34r:

The best Carubba Collision was Pyatt's hit on Briere....

I think Lindy learned a valuable lesson. Ryan was admittedly TIRED at the break, and was in need of a few days rest. Think lindy is making sure not to overwork him this time.

That's the point though... IF it stops. They've been winning this way, which gives them that confidence and sense of security. But it puts them in that habit, and that's NOT a good habit to get into. I expect that this game was a sound wake-up, and we should see the benefits of that this week. PA, why in the world are still dogging that poor girl? Or are you just wanting to see all the rest of her pics and dont want to ask? :P

Once again, I've supported this team all season, and support them as much as i can, and LOVE what they've been able to accomplish. But with all that, I really feel they could still do better than they have been. They've been able to put enough of an effort to win, and that's great. They're winning one goal games that they used to lose. There is no quit in this team. They play hard for each other, MOST of the time. I can go on and on with all the great things this team is doing this year, and it's fun and awesome and incredible, etc, etc, etc.... But they STILL have not put in a full 60 minutes in MOST games. Tonite they needed at least 40, and couldn't do that. Briere said he was "embarrassed" by the effort, and without actually saying it, Ruff was about ready to bench half the team. Look at the goals... max lets up on one, Kalinin on another, Briere on another, and the combination of Tallinder/Kotalik on the empty netter. Every one can be attributed to a player being in position to make the play, but STOPPED skating when it count. That is not playing 60 minutes. This was a battle for #1, not the Penguins. You don't stop skating until the whistle. All that being said, they know they played awful, so it shouldn't get in their heads too badly. But this game was a confidence boost.... and they failed.

Don't put words in my mouth. They don't play 60 minutes of hockey, but they've been good enough to win without having to against most teams. This is one game where they had to, and they knew it going in, but STILL didn't. 49 shots against, please don't tell me you think they actually played well, or even remotely to their ability......

There were some non calls both ways, and some weak calls both ways..... the refs didn't cost us the game in any way. Equally bad works out about the same as equally good.....

Nice to see Miller back to form. Roy played the best of the Sabres skaters. Actually had a decnet game I thought. Kalinin did well for the most part, except not husdtling on that one goal. Briere played well, but again, waiting on the puck that one play led to a goal. Should NEVER have gotten beat for that ENG, but was par for the game, with their legs in cement for a lot of it. Once again, Sabres just can't put 60 minutes together.

Speaking of... Dumont almost blew it. WTF was he thinking jumping in like that????

I didn't have that feeling. I was wondering if they were ever gonna SHOOT THE PUCK. I believe Roy has been our best skater tonite....

Could this be remnants of Montreal? Just maybe? Please?????? :ph34r:

I'd call that HARD lemonade tonite.... LOL.. Great stat... Heatley outshoots Sabres.....

Kotalik draws a penalty by SKATING (a novel concept)

I'm sorry, but we made Chara look much better than he should have. No attack whatsoever. You could see the play was going in that direction, and no one went after him.

Dead in the slot with a perfect open shot, and tries to pass off..... UGLY 3 on 1 and nobody went to the net..... we NEED to get it together

Briere SCORESSSSSSS.... without the puck......... :o

McKee just got burned, BADDDDDDDDD

It wasn't all defense pinching, it was mostly Ottawa out skating us. The 2nd goal started with Briere waiting for the puck to come to him instead of going to get it. "Waiting" for it will just not work.

7:00, and STILL not soon enuff

Duck DeLuca, I just bought a Glock 45

You can also look at that in another way. More teams in the playoffs in hasek's era, which is an extra series. If the french connection had Hasek instead of Bromley, or vice versa. Hmmmmmmm

Advice from Doctors is to rest the knee a little longer. In Lindy's quote... "we need a healthy team weeks from now". So no, he's not playing. I guess I can agree with that, much as I hate to see it.

Thanks for all the comments..... ONE stinkin point!!!!!!!

Any post games thoughts from those that were able to watch it? Ottawa in OT. Guaranteed at least 1 pt.
