Buffalo 3 Carolina 0 Miller gets his first shutout. Roy gets two goals. GO SABRES!!!!

-Another zero effort game. Not a good sign. Who took away my Sabres and replaced them with these Zombies. :angry: -For all the asst. coaches did in Lindy's absence, they might as well have setup a cardboard cutout of Lindy. For the second night in a row, the offense was pitiful. Did they even consider changing up the forward lines even a little bit. -Why is Pyatt on a line with Briere and Dumont? -I would make a statement to these guys on Wednesday. I would call up Paille and Novotny and sit Peters and either Pyatt or Vanek(If Connolly is ready, sit all three of them) for a game. -On top of all the same problems the Sabres had in Ottawa, add bad goaltending to last nights game. -Have the Sabres forgotten how to make a body check. Did anyone see the lame "Carubba Collision of the Game"? It was Tallinder getting away with a penalty as he sent a guy flying into the board by tripping him up. -They have home games(Carolina & Ottawa) against two teams ahead of them in the standings. They need to snap out of this funk and be ready to play. GO SABRES!!!

Peters 1st period stats...One shift, odd man rush for Atlanta, 1-0. <_< You spoke to soon. It was almost like Marty was afraid to leave his crease in order to try and catch the puck in mid-air after it hit him.

Peters can't decide what he likes better(I don't know why as it is an easy call)...the press box or the bench. Press Box...great food(free) and view of the game. Plus no need to shower afterward. Bench...hard as rock, problem with splinters in his a$$ and cold as hell sitting by the ice in a state of inactivity. Also no need to shower afterward, because he didn't even break a sweat. ;)

I also heard on WGR that Connolly will not play, but on a positive note...Peters will dress in his place. <_<

Heard on WGR this morning that Biron will be in the nets tonight. The toughest part of the March/April gauntlet begins tonight...12 games in 19 nights. :o

Atlanta beat the Sabres at HSBC coming out of the Olympic break. They aren't going to do it again... Buffalo 5 Atlanta 2

I know Vanek is only 22 and hopefully it will sink in sooner than later, but his floating tendencies combined with Lindy who won't tolerate that crap, makes me wonder how Vanek's career in Buffalo will turn out.

-In a game as big as this one was, it's somewhat disappointing to see the Sabres get dominated. It's one thing to play a good game and lose. It's a different story when the effort just wasn't there. It looked like men against boys for most of the game. -I didn't tape the game, but did anybody see Gaustad(I think it was him) get wiped out right next to the Ottawa net with a minute to go. The refs sucked last night. -Miller was great. The result last night should have been closer to the games in Ottawa earlier this season. -Kevin Sylvester made a lame comment during the post game show. When showing a replay of the one Sabre goal and commenting on how it was a weak goal by Emery, Sylvester said "Miller would have made that save". Very homer-like. -Chara is going to command a huge salary as a UFA next year. -One last note...Did Vanek get benched for the 3rd period or did I just not notice him on the ice? GO SABRES!!!!

One other thing pissed me off about last night and I apologize if it has already been discussed... How the hell could the referee not see that Sundin took a dive on the Tallinder penalty call. It was right in front of the ref and was a horrible job of acting by Sundin. FU Mats...why don't you go back to Sweden and finish your career cheap shotting your fellow countrymen in the back of the head.

Sabres win 4-3. It's destiny. :)

Nice effort last night by Miller. That save on Tucker was huge. I thought Kalinin played really well in his own end. Nothing makes me happier than knowing that all the Leaf fans go home crying in their beer. Mike Grier what can I say...I called you out a couple of weeks ago and since then you have become possessed. B-) The replay on nhl.com cuts it off, but on the game winning goal, Kotalik had the puck inside his blue line and could have just cleared it and gone to the bench. Instead he made a short pass to Drury, who in turn got it to Grier for the goal. Nice play By Kotalik. PS I only have one wish for next season and that is Buffalo fans gobble up the seats in the lower bowl for season tickets, so I don't have to see thousands of Leaf fans act like they are playing for the Stanley Cup every time they come to Buffalo. I don't care if they end up in the 300's, just not in the 100's where they are on camera the entire game. The only time I was happy with seeing the Leaf fans, was when Tucker got stoned by Miller, they all had their hands up in the air thinking it was a sure goal. :P

I am pretty sure that on WGR this morning, they said that Miller was starting.

Sabres 20 Leafs 0 :rolleyes: What is the over/under on the number of cheap shots that Sundin will take once the Leafs are out of the game.

I see Gaustad only played 8+ minutes. Was he also injured??

What happened to Connolly?

Good to hear Corp. Appreciate the summary.

Jus caught the last few minutes on the radio. Glad that they got another win, but disappointed that Miller gave up 4 goals. How bad were they? GO SABRES!!!!

Sabres 4 Washington 1

That goal by Vanek was a thing of beauty. Another great win for the Sabres and another nail in the Bruiins coffin. Good to see Max going again!!!! #1 overall in the East is not far away...Go Sabres!

I must have wiped this from my memory forever as I have no recollection of this catastrophe.

Gotta go with the flow... Buffalo 8 Boston 7 :rolleyes:

I believe Marty will get the start tomorrow(he was getting it regardles of today game) and then Ruff will come right back with Miller against the Captials.

HUGE game for Jochen Hecht. Take that Kate Smith!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take that Flyers! See how far you go with your bunch of slow defensemen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
