wjag Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Damn it's even later than Anaheim. Gonna be another late night, early morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpandean Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I used to like these late games more before I got a DVR, as I wouldn't get control of the TV until around 9. Now, instead of appreciating the fact that I could see the whole game, I curse the need to wait and my inability to fast-forward through the commercials.

NowDoYouBelieve Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Ok, three difficult games coming up against unfamiliar opponents. As improved as LA is this season, this is the easiest game out of those three. Let's get two points tonight in case San Jose and/or Vancouver bashes us. We're still in very good position to get 8-10 points out of a 14 point road trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

end the curse Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I completely understand the DVR phenomena, however it still excites me to catch late-night games anyway. I think it goes back to my childhood when I'd force myself awake and listen to the clock radio for the late games out west. The anticipation of waiting until 10:30, and not just clicking on the DVR remote at my own leisure, has a nostalgic, throwback intimacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 This. Okay can't win them all and now that we got that loss out of the way Let's start the next winning streak. Let's go Buffalo. It's like this bunch of losers can't even go a single month without a regulation loss. If they don't win tonight, we're DOOOOMED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 The DVR really changes everything, innit? I can't sit back and watch a pretaped game. I tried it recently. Found myself fast forwarding to the goals and then back up a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 It's like this bunch of losers can't even go a single month without a regulation loss. If they don't win tonight, we're DOOOOMED! I wouldn't mind a nice losing streak here. It would certainly help out with the launch of the site. I mean, I think a very good argument can be made for canning Ruff even if they're still in first place in February, but a slump would surely push some people off the fence. I'm already only $4,000 short of having enough for a billboard. Let's go Kings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm literally incapable of not going on the internet and ruining it for myself if I tape a game, any sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NowDoYouBelieve Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Ok prediction time Sabres win this one 4-2. Pommer scores twice, Vanek adds one, and Mair finally gets his first of the season. Connolly assists on one of Pominville's goals, extending his point streak to 14. Bear in mind, I've never gotten a score correct before. :death: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickshaw Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Buffalo doesn't play well, traditionally, in Los Angeles. I hope they can squeak out a win tonight because it doesn't get any easier after this. San Jose and Vancouver up next, if we don't win tonight, we could be looking at a 4 game losing streak very quickly. Hoping they can pull out a win, any way they can.

San Jose and Vancouver up next, if we don't win tonight, we could be looking at a 4 game losing streak very quickly. Hoping they can pull out a win, any way they can. I agree. Before the Anaheim game I echoed similar sentiments stating that this road trip could go south quickly. A win tonight would help greatly in that regard.

Kristian Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I can't sit back and watch a pretaped game. I tried it recently. Found myself fast forwarding to the goals and then back up a little. I can watch right up until the point where they go down by one, next thing I know I'm checking the score on nhl.com Can't explain it really, I also find myself not cheering goals as much as I would with a live game either.

darksabre Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hoping for a 1-0 Sabres win tonight, with Quick making 50 saves. (My fantasy team needs him to rebound from his last game :rolleyes:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just the opposite, I watch the game just as I would if it were live. Other than FF thru commercials and intermission. I won't look at the computer, check my text messages, or anything. I hate knowing ahead of time. I even play my little drinking game, a beer for every goal (within reason, I'm not having 7 on a work night) even though the game is already over. I messed up the last game by accidentally seeing the score about halfway thru the first (down 4-0). I deleted the recording, and then though 'eh, maybe they'll pull it out' and started again. I did check the score the next morning, but I wish I hadn't. It would have been much better seeing it unfold without knowing the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realist Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Sabres always seem to have a tough time in LA. They pull out a close one 3-2 maybe even in OT/shootout. By the way, any reason why Miller seems to have such a tough time in shootouts lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
