Nice purchase Corp, those comps rock. I hope you're taking all the necessary protective measures. My friend has a $3500 AlienWare lappy that runs like a Gateway because he didn't. :unsure:

I'm pretty sure on the NHL on NBC commercial one of RJ's goal calls is heard over video of a Stars goal. Ironic.

Who are you kidding? A decent shot on net would constitute "exploding." :doh:

This game can't come fast enough! I'm sick of the analysis and overanalysis of the Ottawa game. If Buffalo goes into a tailspin and loses more than three or four in a row, I'll start getting worried. The only people who should be dwelling on the blowout are the ones who have to skate in front of their home crowd tonight. For the rest of us, let's just pretend it never happened and have fun welcoming the weekend by watching the Sabres beat the Pens tonight.

I don't know how many times (not just tonight) I've watched other teams' players taking second and third swipes at Miller after a whistle with no response from any Sabre. And if Tallinder's out for a while again, I smell a mediocre couple of weeks.

This must be how most teams feel when they play the Sabres.

With the one overtime loss coming with one second left. :wallbash:

I'm probably stating the obvious, but it looks like Emery will once again be in net for the Sens tonight. He's owned the Sabres this year (3-0, 4 GA) and in regulation in general (7-1-1, 2.47 GAA). Man, what a bust Gerber has been for them. Almost makes me feel bad for them. Almost. ;) Prediction: Ottawa tallies a quick goal in the first but Buffalo has a monster second and wins, 4-1.

So...Enzyte makes you constantly smile like a fruitcake I take it?

Ah, good catch. I checked the official NHL super statsheet and he and Hecht have just under nine minutes apiece.

Is Pominville injured? He disappeared in the second.

Great period from Miller (and what a helluva save on Park). Powerplay looked decent. And personally, the Versus play-by-play method of banter and telling stories instead of calling the action is getting on my nerves.

Some would argue that the Versus broadcasters are idiots too. <_<

It was a boring, tight-checking game, but the Sabres did got two things right: Miller was fantastic and the defense neutralized Kovalchuk and Hossa (who was a non-factor). Great games from Gaustad, Briere, Max and Vanek. Campbell had a rough one. Overall, a solid win.

Ottawa may just squeak into the playoffs this year (at least it appears that way at this point), but I'd add them into that mix as well because the Sabres haven't proven they can beat them.

That is one helluva shot. Gotta love Max!

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who heard that. :lol:

Thank you, Mr. Vanek!

Dayum, Max! I love it when he doesn't back down from being physical as do other finesse players like whiny Erica Staal.

Anyone else watching the MSG feed finding yourself screaming, "ZOOM OUT!!!"? The camera work has been strange the past few minutes.

Or the over/under on dives by Erica Staal? :o My goodness, I'm in a bad mood. I'm going to say Buffalo gets a solid performance from Miller tonight and wins 3-2.

Negative.

That jwhouk has over 8,000 posts since 10/05? Sheesh. They also appear to think their mustards are cool. Fashion sense, anyone?

The most key of the stats I saw at any point during the game was (I believe) early in the third period when an MSG graphic showed the Sabres had 13 giveaways to the Canadiens' four. THIRTEEN giveaways? To FOUR? We're seeing way too many soft passes, long passes and stupid backhand passes. Make sharp, hard passes directly to your teammates' tape. They teach that in pee-wees for cryin' out loud!

Without speaking too soon, Kotalik has impressed tonight. He's actually playing hungry for once. And Gaustad has been everywhere tonight.
