jwcolour Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I thought that one went over to the other side and in off the defenseman's skate. Of course the clueless announcers didn't analyze it in slow mo. I think it went off Lalimes far side skate and in.. could be wrong though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shack & duff Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 For real people, 1967 DD; for the eurotrash and smurf Sabres, DD now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabresFan526 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Wow, totally frustrating game. The Sabres are dominating play and the Ducks capitalize on the only 3 chances they have and get three goals. We've still got the third period left, but this is a tough mountain to climb. Let's hope we can get 2 back and keep the Ducks scoreless in the third. Need Boston to win and Carolina to lose. Sens doing us a big favor tonight. Need Vancouver to get back in their game.

JohnRobertEichel Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Okay, only an absolute homer still thinks this is a playoff team, let alone a playoff team that could make it out of the first round. Does Darcy really need to wait 2 more games before the trade deadline to decide to become a seller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Man, with that last goal I wouldn't be surprised if they bring in Enroth to start the third. Yuck, Lalime, yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreInFla Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Sorry, but it's time to quit making excuses for a clearly washed up goaltender. At some point you have to hold him responsible for his awful record. The numbers don't lie. I really want to be optimistic, but the ugly reality is setting in.

I think Lalime sucks ass. All I'm saying is the first two weren't his fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I think it went off Lalimes far side skate and in.. could be wrong though The replay I saw made it look like Gaustad's goal. That would be his second of the night.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without Vanek the sabes are a .500 team. Without Miller& Vanek they are a .400 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Darcy really need to wait 2 more games before the trade deadline to decide to become a seller? When healthy (Miller and Vanek) we are easily a playoff team, and possibly could get out of the 1st round depending on the seed. I think most teams when losing their star goaltender would turn into a non-contender (except NJD apparently). We've lost our two best players.. its gonna be a pain in the ass if they want to make it in. That said what would you expect to sell that would get anything back?

jwcolour Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 which just goes to show that this team isnt good enough to contend.Contenders can weather injuries. To their two best players (one of which is the goaltender)? I'd also say that we were weathering the Vanek injury okay and we havn't even seen a whole game without miller yet. WE've dominated all game just didn't get the bounces. Sometimes #%^$#! just happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a healthy Miller/Vanek and still missed the playoffs last year. Up until the past couple weeks this season, we had a healthy Miller/Vanek and were hanging onto the 8th seed by a thread. You just admitted in your thread that it's going to be real difficult to make the playoffs now. Good. Confronting reality is always a good thing. Now here are 5 players off the top of my head that teams in the buying market might "rent" for a playoff push: Connolly Spacek Kotalik Numminen Ellis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
