spndnchz Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Sabres at Carolina 3-3-11 Game time 7PM Big game tonight. Sabres could move into 8th place with a win. Let the pillaging begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_Dudley Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Okay time to dust off that perfect playoff style road game where stellar goaltending and defense provides a solid 2-1 win. Gerbe in, Lindy not sure or saying who sits out. Will be Grier, Kaleta or Nieds. If I get a vote, I say Nieds needs to sit. Let's go Buff'a'lo.

JohnRobertEichel Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Easily the biggest game of the season so far. After tonight, our playoff chances may lie anywhere between 42.2% - 72.0% (according to http://www.sportsclubstats.com/NHL/Eastern/Northeast/Sabres.html) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I heard it was Nieds on the radio driving home from work last night. Either way, it's a huge game we'd love to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kishoph Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Will this be the 1st time we'll be as high as 8th place since the first few games of the season ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NowDoYouBelieve Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Will this be the 1st time we'll be as high as 8th place since the first few games of the season ? There's no way we've been in 8th since the single first GAME of the season, a win against Ottawa. I believe we started 1-4-1 and just got worse from there.

LET"S GO BUFFALO Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Who doesn't love Playoff Games in March...I'm so excited for this day to end so i can get my Lafontaine Jersey on, get my cold sabres glass out of the freezer, drink my beer and watch the Sabes enter the Playoffs...is versus picking this game up cause that will be a huge disappointment for me...Englom is seriously the most biased National Sports Announcer I have ever seen, it's almost funny how much he doesn't like the Sabres...all I wanted was someone to be like "Hey Brian, the Sabres are winning, pull the rangers ###### out of your mouth"...sorry for my language LET"S GO BUFFALO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LET"S GO BUFFALO Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 P.S.

Claude_Verret Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 The time for pillaging has finally arrived. You know what to do my fellow NC Sabres faithful brothers and sisters. If I may quote Adam Carolla: "Get it on, got to get it on, no choice but to get it on, MANDATE get it on!" Tailgate should start for me around 4-30 to 5. I'll be over on the east side of Carter Finley under the line of trees wreaking havoc among the cowering canes fans. Let's Go Buffalo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude_Verret Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 We've got them on the run!! For a good laugh go read this thread. http://letsgocanes.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11537 I love the poster who has attended every home game since 2002, the last game missed was because of BRAIN SURGERY, but now the marauding Sabres fans threaten to end that streak again. Unbelievable. Oh and they seem to be really afraid of this guy. He is dressed to pillage for sure.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpandean Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Will this be the 1st time we'll be as high as 8th place since the first few games of the season? Depends on how you look at it. It could be the first time since the first game that we've had the 8th most points accumulated at a given time, ignoring games-in-hand. If you look at my charts, I use games played as my time scale, so that it's more fair, since the Sabres have always played fewer games. Using that scale, the Sabres have had the 8th most points through 55, 56, 60, 61, and 62 GP. A win tonight would give them 8th alone for only the second time (through 55 GP, they had 60 and Carolina had 59.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Players to watch tonight: Stats over the last two weeks: Vanek, 1g, 2a, +3, 1ppp Stafford 0g, 3a, +3, 1pp Hecht 2g, 2a, +5, 0pp Boyes, 2g, 3a, +1, 2pp and then theres the defense to watch: Myers, 2g, 1a, +-0, 1pp Sekera, 1g, 3a, +3, 1pp and finally Goaltending: Miller 3w, 1.82gaa, .946sv%, 191 of 202 shots saved. It will be interesting to see if these key players who have been hot lately continue to step it up tonight in a very important game. Boyes seemed hesitant through the first part of the game the other night but turned it on after he scored so hes my player to watch again tonight.
