Except it took 2 more seconds 21 vice 19.. so they were obviously tired....

"Martin Biron is the likely starter in goal tonight because Ryan Miller still hasn't tested a nagging muscle strain in his midsection. Miller has missed the past two games and has not skated since last Thursday." Hmm... Beginning to think there is a bit more to this story. We went from day-to-day to "nagging" to "still hasn't tested"....

Sabres are going to need five goals to win. They seem to like giving up four goals a lot. Sabres have played 10 games decided by a single goal. That's astonishing in its own right. Carolina is 5-1-1 in their last seven and seems to be getting their act together. The only good news seems to be that they have lost all five times to teams they vanquished in last year's trophy run. Amazing to think that this is already of third time against the Canes this year. The Sabres will be done with Carolina on 28 Dec until the playoffs.

But he is also twice as wide...

DWarner.. Great picture... I didn't realize how big/tall Peters is until you see him next to his team mates.

While I am not a fan of that style, it DID work for that team last night. The game was completely in Buffalo's control and then the second fight started. Right after that, Philly was energized and outplayed the Sabres for the rest of the second and most of the third. They came within a whisker of winning.... Those losses hurt as much as blowouts.. They fought all the way back, took the lead and then lost it when they got caught with too many men on the ice. You know they really wanted that game last night to "save" their season; give them some momentum. Instead, their only star ended up getting fined for yelling at the refs on an obvious call.

Another OT win on a PP. Sooner or later that is going to come back and haunt us.. But not tonight, :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: --- :death: :death: :death: :death: Boy if the Flyers didn't hate us before tonight, this just sealed the deal..

Come on guys,. play in their end :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: --- :death: :death: :death:

End of 2 and Philly has life.. we let them back in this :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: --- :death: :death: Saw someone do this last night. Think we should adopt it

That makes 10 different Sabres to score on Philly this year.. Amazing the 3 guys tonight didn't get a goal the first time

It must be fixed. The 2nd is much better..

Another big one: "The biggest problem for the Flyers is they have become a one-line team, and now with Mike Knuble injured, are a two-man team when it comes to offense with just Simon Gagne and Peter Forsberg scoring and Forsberg isn't scoring as much as usual. The second line of Calder, the now injured Jeff Carter and Mike Richards has been struck in neutral all season." With Forsberg potentially out with the flu, the Knuble, Forsberg and Gagne may be just down to Simon. Ouch. And I just love this next quote: "On defense, Derian Hatcher is minus-17 and Joni Pitkanen is minus-12." Time to make Mr. Hatcher -21 tonight.

Forsburg may be scratched - Flu

Six times we have fallen down by two goals and we are 6-0.... incredible.. Just watched Calgary finish off the Ducks too..

Whew!!! Didn't want these 2 points to slip away... Florida earned their 1 road point tonight... 13-1-1 Looks pretty damn nice..

Great effort by the Sabres. They are definitely taking the play to Florida... Time to get off the PP schneid.. Florida down two now...

5-3 now.. I'm watching it during intermission. Pitt has some great pressure... Should be 5-4 but isn't.. 8 minutes to go... Damn Ottawa just scored with under 6 to go, leading 6-3.. Back to the Sabres... At least the Thrashers will lose tonight..

Much, much better period for the Sabres... Anybody else think the Sabres penalty shot wasn't deserved? Penalty yes, penalty shot no..I've seen far worse things not called this year...

In game update Sabres 2 Panthers 2 mid 2 Ottawa 4 Pitt 2 end 2 NYR 4 Thrashers 2 End 2

SWEET!!!! 2-2 NOW THEY'RE PLAYING...

Penalty Shot... Rats.. Down 2-0.. This is getting to be a familiar feeling...

Unfortunately, Buffalo is now a diving team in the refs eyes and we'll be saddled with it all season.

That was a frustrating period. Sabres couldn't find any space to operate after the first five minutes.

That was a poor, poor, poor power play.. UGHHH

GIT-R-DONE!!!!
