Orange Seats

Sorry, I'm listening on the internet, not watching --- and I don't know the Isle's roster that well. :oops:

This is like listening to a Sabres vs. Sabres alumni game... I mean I knew how many were on the Islanders, but hearing RJ say "Kozlov, Satan, Zhitnik" drives it home even more so.

3-2 (regulation) Buffalo, goals coming from Vanek, Pomn Pomn, and Novotny gets the GWG. Ted Nolan and Lindy Ruff get close to a fist fight in the tunnel during a tense moment while the game is tied 2-2, mics pick up Lindy yelling "eat some more donuts." And now that the game is starting.... Wow, that is one of the... ummm, most interesting version of the Star Spangled Banner I've heard. And by interesting I mean bad.

Damn Vanek... lucky to come out of the box at the right time, but kudos to keep streaking. What's his +/- now?

Damn, there goes the shutout for Miller.

Hot-Sauce-Bleu-Cheese Arena That is the best renaming/nicknaming of the arena yet! Crossroads, MMA (the Ma), HSBC (Hot Sauce Bleu Cheese). Perfect!

Phila radio: "You know you're in trouble when a guy like Andrew Peters is going in on you one on one." If RJ wasn't so good, I'd listen to the opposing team's radio all the time just to hear them get all depressed.

"We want ten!" And now they're counting, man the crowd is great tonight.

Phila radio commentator: "If you're wondering, 10 is the most goals the Flyers have given up on the road" Awesome.

Thats what Game 7 of the ECF is for! :blink: (300th post, it's a record night for everyone)

I can't even pull up WGR550.com, and I can't get the WGR feed from NHL.com either. Balls! UPDATE: Am stuck listening to Flyer's feed off NHL.com.

#%^$#!! Wgr550's servers blank out and the Sabres score 5 goals!!! I can't win! I think the cable people are behind this trying to get me into Center Ice.

did anyone else lose the online feed from WGR?

I always knew that was going to happen someday.

It's Detroit, they could make it by bus in 3.5 hours.

I can't watch tonight, am away from a TV with MSG. :( Is the score is 3-1 Sabres? What period is it?

It's going to be tough going because it's third game in four nights, also because we're coming off of two shootout games. Also, Ottawa is going to be out for blood since they got trounced by Toronto in their last game. I don't know that anyhting Lindy says can make for fresh legs, but my guess is that he'll be reminding everyone how Ottawa was the monkey on the Sabres backs all last season until we finished them off in the playoffs. At the beginning of last season, the Sens were the only club we just couldn't find a way to beat. Beating them right off will make sure that no Ottawa mystique develops causing us to slump whenever we play them.

Thoughts: First of all: This way this team wins a game looks surprisingly like last year's, which is obviously good. Novotny: Does not look like a guy who played in Rochester most of last year. Danny: Way to tell the refs to go f themselves with that "stuff it" goal. Although before that I thought he was kinda mailing it in. Miller: Amazing as usual, along with Spacek. Without Miller and Spacek we don't have the chance to tie it up. Fancy-pants Max: Take a page from Danny's book, pick a shot and take it!!! Reffing: Not worth getting frustrated about since we won, but there were some questionable ones there, to say the least. Peters: Showed that he doesn't deserve to be on this team. Gooning it up cost us that first goal, then he was just pretty much farting around the ice the rest of the night. Blocking shots: Anyone watching MSG had to listen to lots of chat about blocking shots. It seemed to me that maybe over-concentrating on blocking shots caused some tentativeness in the D (I thought Lydman got kinda soft there by just going down on one knee a couple times). Any thoughts? Sluggalo: Home blues not that bad (although it pains me to say this). Away whites still look ridiculous.

Sloppy play. It's to be expected in the first game of the season, but I don't get what Mair was doing.

The dump and run tonight looks very 2002-2003 Bankrupcy Sabres.

THESE NON CALLS ARE KILLING THE SABRES

Can the refs try any harder to give the game to the sens?

If Sabres get first goal: 3-2 Sabres If Sens get first goal: 4-2 Sens

Timmay is my hero. Closely followed by Drury.
