ROC Sabres Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Need some advice people: Do I call in sick to work to watch the game? I will hate myself if i watch it and they lose. Listen on the radio. DVR it at home. Go out and buy a slingbox hook it up, test it, watch it at work. All are acceptable. You don't miss a game 7.

YES you absolutely call in sick tonight and everyother night you have to work while the Sabres are in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you work nights than you may have missed a game already this series. What's your record in games watched versus worked through. Whichever is higher you do!!

wnyguy Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Here's my question, will the Sabres play a defense first strategy or instead go all guns blazing on a forecheck and attack the Flyer zone? The defense first strategy won them two games but I think in a Game 7 you just go for it all and put the pressure on the Flyer defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see both teams playing a really tight boring game of hockey today in hopes of a 1-0, 2-1 win. If we come out guns blazing we need to play that way all game.

The defense first strategy won them two games but I think in a Game 7 you just go for it all and put the pressure on the Flyer defense. Here are the lines at this mornings skate (shudder)(source Harrington): Gerbe-Gaustad-Mancari Ennis-Roy-Stafford Vanek-Niedermayer-Hecht Ellis-McCormick-Boyes I'm not sure how much pressure they get on the Flyers defense. My guess is they will have to play sit back and spring when they see they have numbers. Philly will try to spred the corners of the ice to open up the middle. Philly has every advantage with skaters here..........but ....it doesn't matter. Anything can happen in one game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormin Norman Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 I was thinking (hoping): Do the Sabres have enough young guys on this team that the full weight of a game 7 doesn't weigh on them as much as it might for guys who have been around the block a few times? You know, the youthful "Let's go out there and have fun" vs. "Oh, sh___. I can't make a mistake or it may cost us and who knows when we'll be back?" It'd be nice if Gerbe, Ennis, Myers, MAG, Weber... don't know any better and will just let loose tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ruff lets the D carry the puck through the middle all game....best chance to win IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 I have NO doubt the Sabres win tonight - NO DOUBT. This team is not the team to lose a game 7 in Round 1. I wish I had that faith right now I am nervous as heck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROC Sabres Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 I wish I had that faith right now I am nervous as heck Me too, I've been asking my boss for things to do to keep me occupied til I leave. He said he was doing the same cuz if he just sat around he would just be thinking about the game. EDIT: Just read this on WGR. Link Gaustad was centering a line with Gerbe and Mancari and Roy was between Ennis and Stafford. Jochen Hecht skated with Vanek and Niedermayer. Paul said that the fourth line was "mixed up" and contained Tyler Myers. I can only imagine the trouble he could cause down low in the offensive zone. Hell, we've seen him do it before.

R_Dudley Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 One-game series. Simple as that. While the Flyers may have shown that they have the better skaters, neither side has proven that it's the better team (all 20 players and the coach.) Given even odds, yeah, I'd bet on the Flyers, but I wouldn't bet more than I could afford to lose. One game can go so many ways. I'm feeling uncharacteristically calm. For me most of this series is talked out....and the game has to be played. Gut check time. Game 7.... It's what hockey fans live for. As long as the Sabres lay it all out there, I'll live with the results. Let's go Buffalo. Wow all that took awhile to read through. I highlighted the things I could have said and absolutely agree with. My favorite team right now is in a game 7 with a chance to advance. Someone said it in the thread, "Here is where reputations can be made or lost". I am really hoping this team can play loose and have fun with it the way Lindy has been telling them, do that and I think all will be well. How wild and potentially unexpected would it be to see them do an about face and go full ice press with dmen jumping into rushes for all 3 periods. Let's go Buff'a'lo and get this show started.

Go Sabres! don't name that kid until you know who scores the game winner. Just think, you have the chance to name the little one: Marc-Andre Tyrannustyrannus Gerbe Tyrannustyrannus Maybe Neidermayer Tyrannustyrannus but nicest of all would be Tyler Tyrannustyrannus Good luck, brother.
