    I put 2 of the goals tonight on Spacek. The first goal he should have played the pass. The second Boston goal as well. There is no reason to take that penalty. Miller can handle himself on breakaways. If you can really impede the scoring chance, then go ahead, and take the penalty. But Kessel still got the scoring chance and the PP.

    I don't know about your first one...when they showed the "end zone" camera angle, it looked like Novotny was about to catch up with the goal scorer but gave up a few steps away. And you can also clearly see Spacek point out the pass as what he needed Novotny to cover.

    2 Thoughts:

     

    1. I thought NESN's team couldn't get any more obnoxious. They can and do when the Bruins are winning.

     

    2. Is it me, or have the Bruins got away with a lot of clutching and grabbing tonight?

    Glad I wasn't the only one thinking this. I was coming on here to post just that fact but forgot I am on about 8 minutes DVR delay as I paused it earlier.

     

    I was thinking this looked just like an old NHL game. Until the last few minutes of the second period, the total penalties in this game bore that fact out.

    I'm on record as saying first loss doesn't come until November. B-)

    I agree with that statement and also go on record as saying we will average a maximum of 3 loss per month of the season (18 losses max).

     

    Tonight, I am feeling good:

     

    Sabres - 5

    Pylonders - 2

     

    Drury, Briere and Vanek keep up thier point streaks.

     

    Max gets 5 points tonight.

     

    Sabres give up no pp goals tonight and get 1 themselves.

    LUCKY WIN?!?!?! No idea what you're talking about. This was no lucky win.

    You misunderstand me. By lucky win I meant with all the bad breaks, bounces and calls going against us, we were lucky to win. I accept responsibility for the confusion as the way I worded it it looked like I meant we had no business winning.

     

    We were sloppy tonight, however. The passes were not crisp or, often, on target. The outlet pass was near non-existant tonight. The third Canes goal that was deflected off Miller was made from behind the goal line by an completely unmolested Hurricane while Lydman and Tallinder were standing in front of the net. They just stood there about 2 feet in front of Miller and from each other. Blown coverage there. We had two 5-on-3 situations each over a minute in length and failed to capitalize and gave up a short handed goal on one. If this is the Sabres' "A-Game" the laws of probability dictate we will have some tough times coming. That said, I do not believe this was our "A-Game" and have full confidence the Sabres will have a phenominal year.

     

    As I pointed out earlier, Roy's "dive" was a horrible call. You don't get your legs chopped out from under you by two opposing players and "dive." Sadly, the league is "cracking down" on diving with fines to repeat offenders and those with a reputation for diving. I say sadly because there is only one way to get a reputation for the purely subjective call of diving: getting a call on it, legitimate or not. Roy now has a reputation for diving (regardless of calls made last year) simply because an official felt that he committed that foul.

    Nice win, Sabres fans. It would be pretty sweet to have a playoff rematch come spring -- 4 regular season games is not nearly enough because these games are just fantastic to watch. Mair, Gaustad, and Peters were indeed a beast of a 4th line in the first. I kept waiting for us to expose them with speed but they really controlled play physically. What happened to their ice time as the game went on?

    Mair had 1 shift in the 2nd and none in the 3rd, after 4 what looked like good ones in the first. Peters didn't see the ice after the 1st. Is that normal for you guys?

     

    -Canes fan

    Last year, Peters dressed for less than 30 games. He is the local enforcer. Last year, Mair missed alot of games due to injury. So far this year, the fourth line sees limited second period and almost no third period action. However, in the 9-1 victory over Philly, Peters alone logged 10+ mins in the third. :)

    I agree with you. The Flyers win was a clinic, but you'd have to be slightly delusional to think the Sabres would be able to put on another clinic against the defending champs, especially since we blew our noses in their rag on opening night.

     

    And that last goal was disappointing, but it should keep a burr under Miller's saddle, and he always comes back strong when he has a burr under his saddle.

    Yeah, he usually does, but Ruff also usually plays Marty in back to backs. Will the towel-holding for Miller make it worse or better for his next start?

    I'll take the lucky win, but they looked very very sloppy tonight: sloppy passing, failing to convert on two long 5 on 3 power plays and giving up a shorthanded up 5 on 3.

     

    I hope they look better tomorrow against Montreal. Back to back is hard enough without looking pretty bad in the first of the two.

    Miller deserved that one ... kept giving them rebounds ...

    Loods and Tally looked like pylons (Or Philly D-men) on that third Canes goal.

     

    Btw, correct me if I am wrong: in the ECF, Stall steps on the puck, falls and the nearest Sabre (McKee) gets a penalty. Shouldn't Stall have gotten a penalty rather than credited with Tallinder's goal on the second Canes goal?

    Max makes it 3-2 ... here they come folks ...

     

    Not for nothin, but I'll tell you what, Erik Cole is a great player .... Stall is their most talented guy, but Cole is a better player right now. I know we hate them but this is still a good team.

    As Admiral Yamamoto said, "I fear we have awaken the slumbering giant."

    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.

     

    Reffing: Not worth getting frustrated about since we won, but there were some questionable ones there, to say the least.

    I agree with the above, but add the following:

     

    Power Play: Needs serious focus work. I realize it is only game two, but 0-9 in game one and a full 4 minutes of double minor power play, almost two full minutes of it 5 on 3 without a point in game two is not acceptable.
