wjag Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Thomas Vanek looked like a C130 taking off when he hit the open ice on that goal. He takes a bit to get going, but he can fly once he hits the blue line. What a goal! It was fitting the game ended on a turnover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjsbu96 Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Here is the thing for me: you have to be a pretty pitiful team not to make the NHL Playoffs. But once you're in, even if it's eighth place, all bets are off. LOTS of damage to be done now. GO SABRES! You know something, I used to think this was the case, but if you look at the numbers, it is not as easy as you think. I know it feels like it based on how the Sabre season went, but check out the records of the teams making the playoffs versus the teams that make the NBA playoffs - I understand almost 50% make the playoffs, but it is not easy, and it is a grind in today's NHL to be in that top 50, so I don't think it should be taken lightly..

Tyrannustyrannus Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 the Turning point of this game was definitely "Car-bomb" Carcillo's antics. Gerbe proved he belongs with the big guys, which I'm sure he'd say he has done his whole career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverPowerYou Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Was that a late "Let's go Sabres" chant? And the gold towels waving. Weird and wild and wacky stuff. If I remember correctly it was a "Here we go Sabres, here we go" chant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cereal Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Ruff hinted one of the sabres was sick tonight and played and I wonder if it was Myers. He looked just out of it. I am not worried because Sekera and leopold both can come back in round 1ish and of course dont forget the added bonus of can we survive until Roy? Oh yeah, that's the other thing... where was Shakira? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 There's only one player on this team capable of rising to the next level and folklore status.....Nathan Gerbe. I've seen enough from the rest of them to know better. If the Sabres do something big, look for Gerbe to be on the scoresheet, and humping legs. I'm too old for this ######! As promised, well done, Mr. Ruff! And let's not forget Enroth's save on Versteeg's breakaway! OK............the time for partisan politics is over. Lindy Ruff made a 100% efficient move in playing Miller. There is no way this team does squat without Miller in net for the playoffs. He had almost a 2 week rest and now should be sound for the 1st series. He couldn't lose. If Miller came in and lost...they were going to lose anyway. If he looked horrible....they are dead anyway and still had a chance tomorrow. If he looked solid and the team won....momentum. It was a smart gambler's move, and he just parlayed his chances in the playoffs. Well done. Gerbe is the only guy on this team to have the nads to take that shot, let alone have it go in. They're in now.....I'm giving my 100% support much like Obama will have to give to Hillary in a year. I'm not happy about the matchups, but if they win a series, I will not cry once about bringing everyone back. GO Sabres?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Oh yeah, that's the other thing... where was Shakira? On the post game Ruff said Sekera pulled a muscle taking shots in practice and he should be fine a couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannustyrannus Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 So I was wondering if Carcillo was on the Ice for Gerbe's second goal. Have a look. He was the loafer skating in behind the play, so he got a really good look at that goal :clapping: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROC Sabres Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 For a pretty quiet guy, Miller looked pumped when they saluted the crowd. Sabres Playoff Hockey, My Son due any day now, Its gonna be a good Spring! My boss had his kid on May 23,1999 when the sabres beat the Leafs in game 1 of the finals. He told the nurse he had his wife told him to leave the room and put on the game in the waiting room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnRobertEichel Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Ever leave a movie theater after really getting into the film and you get outside and everything looks weird? I had that feeling after the alumni were introduced and the game started. The current Sabres looked strange. I was off kilter. What year was it? What building were they in? The white unis added to the feeling. Can anyone relate? This game reminded me of the Seinfeld series finale for some reason... :) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robviously Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Oh by the way: Tonight's game makes me even more excited for Vanek getting the C next year.

Dude is already the captain of the team; we're just waiting on the embroidery at this point. I was in the "wait until the offseason" group, but now that we're in, especially with him coming up big in these last couple of games, I would be OK with him showing up tomorrow or game 1 with the "C".
