What is it that when I see this I have a mental picture of a QB with the #11 on his Jersey?
Remember the previous "Game of the Year" against the Otters was one where a banged up (I believe Connelly, Hecht, and Brierre were out) Sabres beat Hasek on an that around the world move by Vanek.
The Sabres can play with Ottawa if they show up the first period instead of the third.
Personally, I'd rather be in fifth or sixth than fourth, anyway. Too much pressure if you lose one of the first two. Win one on the road, and you get home ice.
We're are nearly a lock to play Philly or NY anyway in round 1...
I agree. Possibly Novotny, too. Are the Amerks officially out of the playoffs, yet? I also think Vanek needs to work with either Drury or possibly Briere.
I think Timmy and Jochen have become two of the best players on the team. Pyatt and Peters are a major step down as their replacements.
I disagree. They did not show up for the first two periods for some reason. Discounting the empty netter, the Sabres won the third period. They aren't going to blow them away in four games, but that's ok as long as we win the seventh.
The fact that they didn't wilt in the third says a lot about the team...
The good news: we cut their shots in the second to half what they had in the first.
The bad news: It was still more than 3 times the number of shots we had... :ph34r:
Been there, done that... <_< Actually, it sounds like they are playing pretty well tonight. Toronto is just playing well, also.
Crap. Drury gets 4 minutes for a high stick...
