deluca67 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Ok, fair enough. I thought we would come out firing in the second period, but that was our worst one and Lalime just saved us a couple times. We waited until the third to turn on the jet engines and by that time the shots just weren't hitting the back of the net. I realize we weren't top notch, I just wanted to make sure the Canes' effort wasn't cheapened. I was jealous of the effort the Canes gave. I don't understand how the Sabres can't find it in them to come out and play like the Canes did every night in a playoff push. Something needs to happen to get that switch turned on permanently. Relying on other teams to falter is not a sound strategy for making the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'd expect the Leafs to come out and play very hard after that mail-it-in effort they gave us last time. The Sabres need to be ready to play hard from the get-go. I'd also like to see Lalime again. Finally, I think the loss of Gaustad has really hurt -- maybe as much as the loss of Vanek. Darcy called Gaustad the leader of the grit guys up front during an interview with Shopp the other day. It doesn't excuse the poor effort and lack of desperation from 90% of the other guys that we've seen in the past few games, but nevertheless it's a big loss.

With three teams below you and the Coyotes heading south fast, you're on the outside looking in on that race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffalOhio Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 At least I'll be able to watch in HD. Anyone know why an out of town feed from a home Sabres game, I'm in ATL, gets blacked out to out of market folks? I have the CI and Sports Packages and the ham n eggers at DTV are about as sharp as marbles when I try to get an answer. Anyway hopefully we get a solid 60 and 2 points. Yeah, I used to get 'em, and then after the Leafs game on 2/4, the home games have all been blacked out on 638-1 and no HD available in the 770's. PISSES ME OFF TO NO END!

R_Dudley Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Whoever shows up, there will plenty of jackasses putting themselves out there with their "predictions". I predict your prediction will cause many to make a prediction they wouldn't normally make. Take the over and under at 6. I predict that since I have no plans to travel to Toronto to see the game in person, the Sabres chances of winning will go up a lot. :D Now that's a prediction I like with some real stats behind it. I'd expect the Leafs to come out and play very hard after that mail-it-in effort they gave us last time. The Sabres need to be ready to play hard from the get-go. I'd also like to see Lalime again.

It doesn't excuse the poor effort and lack of desperation from 90% of the other guys that we've seen in the past few games, but nevertheless it's a big loss. three things I can agree with but I predict only 2 of the three will happen tonight... (note saw article Goose could play tonight) One good take away for me from the last game is Rivet visibly stepping forward and calling out his team in the media, we can carp all about why it' shouldn't have to/need to happen but the reality is with this team we need that kind of accountablity from within not just the coach. I expect a better showing all around tonight from both teams. May the best team win and in this one anyways I still think that's Bflo. (sorry Millbank no disprespect but you still got a little rebuilding to do but good news is you got the FO that will do it now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(sorry Millbank no disprespect but you still got a little rebuilding to do but good news is you got the FO that will do it now) Carpandean: get on this guy will ya? When there are only two teams playing, it's "May the BETTER team win." Toronto wins if the Sabres play with their skates tied together again. I can't imagine that will happen but didn't foresee that dud against the Canes either. I'm almost as tired of hearing the players lament their poor showings as I am of hearing MSG continue to treat Bflo as a suburb of NYC. Yo MSG: I don't want to see Simply Red at Radio City Music Hall--ENOUGH ALREADY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
