Figster Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 We needed Thomas Vanek throughout the series to get to the next round and in my opinion Vanek would have made the difference. When Thomas vanished so did the Sabre's chance of advancing so for anyone who didn't already realize just how important Vanek is for the Sabres, they should now.

theend Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Brodeur? That's kinda what I was going for with the whole 'having' vs. 'rode'...I don't think the Devils 'rode' Brodeur. I think they mastered a defensive system, and had an elite goaltender who worked very well in that system. I guess my point is...I can't think of any team that almost wholly depends on their elite goaltender to win the cup...and succeeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theend Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Sure, what do you think it is? Seymour (or Northrup) Knox... Was my thought right, PA? Edit: I just saw Gandhi...was that it all along?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Was my thought right, PA? Edit: I just saw Gandhi...was that it all along?! He was slowly going to reveal the bald head and make us think it was actually Lindy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohiofan Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Well that sucked. Undoubtedly. I thought of you last night at that game and marveled at the suckiness of it all. I'm sorry :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Was my thought right, PA? Edit: I just saw Gandhi...was that it all along?! No and no. But good guess. I'm just messing with people with Gandhi. Now I've paid a price for changing the caption.

spndnchz Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Undoubtedly. I thought of you last night at that game and marveled at the suckiness of it all. I'm sorry :( I was pretty impressed with the Garden. Much like HSBC. We got there a few hours early so we hit a pizza joint (something that starts with a"R", I can't remember the name). Got heckled all the way to the Garden. We just kept our mouth's shut, except when my girlfriends boyfriend went off on some guy when he said something off color to us. It seemed louder there, but I think it was more the low ceiling bouncing the sound back down on us. All in all it was fun, but still sucked.

SwampD Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 It's interesting that Vanek's TOI last night on a bum wheel was just 14 seconds less than his season average. I'm not sure what I get out of that but boy I'm sick of Ruff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FogBat Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Just went to the Sabres website. They have a banner near the top that reads "Thank you fans for all your support in 2009/10!" Excuse me, but that is such a humongous slap in the face when they can't even support the fans by bringing forth a lineup that actually wants to play and be a serious contender for the Cup.

FogBat Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Wow, we're really looking for anything to complain about, aren't we? I'm not so much as looking for something to gripe about. Everyone else beat the horse dead last night. It was the banner that sent me over the edge with its condescending tone. Granted, maybe in their defense, they meant well. However, given how much others have stated over and over and over again when they say that we need a better overall product on the ice, they have really built up a strong case for their arguments. So, I didn't take too well over the banner. All of the fans deserved much better than what they got in this post-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite honestly, you're way off base here and your rant makes absolutely no sense. It didn't matter what they put on that website, you were going to find fault with it.

SabresRepublic Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 He stays on his skates and clears the puck, that goal never happens. I've seen him wipe out like that exactly at least three times this year. Each time it led to an opposition goal! He was trying to be slick and the ice told him in NO uncertain terms...I'm the only slick around here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabresRepublic Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I wanted to add that for the most part we should be proud of the kind of game the Sabres bring to make the level of NHL the premier venue of hockey in the world in terms of aptitude and skill. We are on that path and the whole Sabres organization is on fire with enthusiasm to close the deal! To the rest of the players out in the hockey world: if you want senseless, mindless brute force needing disciplinary action from spineless, clueless administrators there are way too many franchises out there to pick from (I won't name names - they have the opportunity to mend their ways and play REAL hockey!) But , if you want a tradition of excellence that is so very close to dominating this game via aptitude and skill, from start to finish, look NO further than the Buffalo Sabres!!! Good Luck making the grade! THANK YOU BUFFALO SABRES!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
