Derrico Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Big game tonight. The Caps are up next and a loss here could be the beginning/middle of a multi-game slide. By the way, right now, Sabres have a 48.2% chance of making the playoffs. A win and they're at 53.6% and a loss in regulation brings the odds down to 39.6%. Just for fun, an ot/so loss brings the total down to 45.7%. Let's just get the win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Sabres 2-6-2 in last 10 home games against Blues. I know -- different teams. But sometimes a certain franchise just feels comfortable going into a certain building. Maybe it gets passed from one group of players to the next by the old timers in an organization.

CallawaySabres Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Chalk the Toronto game up as good defensive scheme by Toronto and a little blip for the Sabes. You think Montreal fans are happy about losing 4-1 to the Oil last night? Gonna be a good crowd tonight as this one feels like a win..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'right' teams are losing and if these guys can play smart, the playoffs are definitely within reach. I was REALLY hoping Enroth would be back for this game in particular. Go Sabres!!!

BuffaloFansR_Crazy Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Montador is back tonight and paired with Leopold. Hope he has a good game and increases his trade value (not that I would necessarily want to see him go). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Excellent obscure jersey. Nice choice. And I'm not even going to be wearing the coolest one. My friend Dana will be wearing a jersey she's had for years. Legend goes that her father got it from a friend who was closing a bar. It's been difficult tracking down who's it is and what year it's from. Jersey crests back then were all over the place year to year. Best I can tell, it's from the 76-77 season, and being number 29, would make it Don Edwards' rookie jersey. Now, if true, that's sort of a big deal. The hard part has been matching the crest. The only times I've seen one like it are on a Rick Dudley 77-78 Topps trading card and a 78-79 OPC Bob Sauve Card. Since I know what the crests look like from both of those seasons, and from 75-76, the only conclusion I can come to is that it's from the mystery 76-77 year that I have yet to see evidence of. It's definitely authentic, but there are some questions that need answering. I sent an email to the Sabres to see if they had any historians on staff that could help me photo match it.

Tyrannustyrannus Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'll be listening on the WGR550 app for my phone as I drive in from Brooklyn. Hope the Sabres light up Conklin tonight. I still look at the Sabres trading Biron away and picking up Conklin as the end of that Cup run in 2007. Biron at the trade deadline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a book "The History of the Buffalo Sabres." Chock full of photos. Edwards is wearing this crest in the chapter for the 76-77 season. Another goalie, Al Smith, is wearing the crest with the squiggly tail. There's a large color photo of Don Luce wearing it at home against the Caps. It appears the Caps' goalie is Smith. If it's Gary Smith, he played for the Caps only in the 77-78 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still look at the Sabres trading Biron away and picking up Conklin as the end of that Cup run in 2007. That has to be one of the biggest head scratcher statements I've seen around here in a while.

thesportsbuff Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 That has to be one of the biggest head scratcher statements I've seen around here in a while. Conklin really killed us during that postseason. :blink: I think the guys all liked Marty and wanted to win a cup with Marty. There was really no reason to trade him away at the deadline if we weren't going to get someone notable back. We made cap room for ZUBRUS and the pick we got was either TJ BRENNAN or DREW SCHIESTEL... but you know what they say, hindsight is 20/20. :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
