PTS Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Boy I can't freakin wait to watch this Trap game. This game will be boring. Hopefully the Sabres can break through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topshelfcookies Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Has anyone heard if Marty or Miller will be in net tonight? I wouldn't mind seeing Marty tonight, and playing Miller vs Carolina. PTS, I agree, tonight's going to be a bit of a bland game. The Sabres have had an awful lot of trouble getting anything going against teams that really key on the trap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key to beating the trap is getting a two goal lead early on. Then Florida has to open it up and if that happens they can't keep up with us.

Then Florida has to open it up and if that happens they can't keep up with us. Absolutely...And if we can't jump out to an early lead, take the red line, dump it in and out hustle them to the puck. I remember the last Florida game, they would try to skate it in, realize it wasn't working, and then weakly dump it in. Not going to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JujuFish Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 A victory here against a team that's had our number should definitely help against Carolina. Buffalo, you don't lose twice in a row too often. Don't let me down tonight. Sabres 3, Panthers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seannie34 Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 sabres up 1-0 at the end of the first with the goal coming from Dumont. Pretty good period, it wasnt as boring as everyone thought it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp000085 Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 no, it wasn't seannie... i enjoyed watching the sabres work the puck and sustain offensive momentum. They had some bad passes and puckhandling in the neutral zone, specifically transitioning the puck out of the defensive end, but all in all, i'm impressed. The dumont goal was pure luck. it was cleared to the slot area, at waist height. Dumont tipped the puck down. it took a 45 degree turn to the ice and literally bounced straight up again and over louongo (sp?). If dumont had 1000 chances, he'd make it once. The only problem i had was the one series that florida had when they hit the goalpost. Other than that, its smooth sailing for the sabres. 1-0 after 1.

Someone had a bad giveaway right in front of the net too...I thought it was Lydman, but I didn't catch a number. Overall a good period. As mentioned before the passing is still a little weak, but looks better than the last couple games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp000085 Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 i'm ashamed to admit that i was talking with my wife during most of the first period and only glancing at the tv... although, now she's gone upstairs to watch NBC's brilliant tape delay olympics (DIRECTV, PLEASE PICK UP CBC SO I CAN WATCH THIS STUFF LIVE??) so i can direct my entire attention to the sabres.

hopeleslyobvious Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 So I have a stylistic question...I knew that was Novotny's first career goal, but they flashed it on the screen before I made the post...Do I have to cite to the broadcast? Or should I just cite to his player card on ESPN or Yahoo showing he doesn;t have any goals yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seannie34 Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 That was a great goal by Novotny, especially if you look at that line of Novotny, Pominville and Roy 3 AHL players that just outworked the panthers and Luongo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
