TrueBlueGED Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 If I'm Ruff, and certainly, I'm not, I don't practice hard tomorrow or Saturday. Easy skates both mornings. Maybe tomorrow's skate is optional, frankly, because they're getting on a plane in about an hour, and their bodies still somewhat are on East Coast time. At the very least, he better fly Noureen to Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 That'll help the GAA. I don't think he is, though; have you seen his wife? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR HOLLIDAY Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Miller's best game ever? Certainly best back to back. They mentioned on the Sharks feed, that he was the last goalie to have shutouts on back to back nights in 2010, pretty weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grinreaper Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Time to trade Miller. He's at a high and we don't want any goaltenders at the top of their game. Team Sunny Cloud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FolignosJock Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 all they have to do is not let others teams score the rest of the year and we are set. Also where are all of the enroth should be number one goalies peoples at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyldnwoody44 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Damn, what a game, made this late night worth it. Staff infection with the gwg, hodgson line looking good. Hopefully regher isn't too hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumbPuck Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Wow. Talk about under siege. Great win for Miller and the team. I hope Darcy was paying attention to the size disparity and how it worked against us in the 3rd period. It seemed like we were in our own end the entire period. It looked like a 20 minute PK.

Also where are all of the enroth should be number one goalies peoples at? I was more middle-of-the-road on the issue back when it was being discussed. I still don't think walking away from two games where we have little or no offensive firepower and have questionable defense should be a "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" banner on an aircraft carrier type event. Miller played an amazing game tonight and last night. The Sabres played a good first period tonight and a good first period last night. This doesn't make me all that happy. ~N-TSC (NOT Team Storm Cloud) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redemption City Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 The last two 3rd periods have been ridiculously lopsided shot-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 He HAS to play. There's no question about it; he'll have two days' rest and possibly another conjugal visit. He'll play. You might--MIGHT--see Benchroth next Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumbPuck Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 even when the mission is picking the best goaltender on the team? When I said I was "middle of the road" on the issue what I meant was that I was one of the people preaching play whoever is hot. In that regard, I would keep playing Miller. But, I think it is ###### up what they are doing with Enroth. He's played amazingly well this season too (he had some games with 40+ saves too) in which we've lost 1-0 or 2-1 simply because we can't score. Roth is a great netminder and I gotta believe that anybody with any competitive spirit has gotta be pretty pissed about being benched as long as he has been. With that said, Miller is hot right now so keep it comin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kishoph Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 WOW Miller, he has to be dead tired after tonight. I was hoping the officials would of done something about the Sharks taking a crazy amount of whacks at Miller in the grease, the Sabres didn't seem to want to do anything about it.. I could think of no better way to define a Goalie stealing a game. I'm looking at a big game from Stafford tonight, he's looked like he's given a better effort the last few games, hopefully with Ennis and Hodgson, on the line, they can light a fire under him. Not as big as a game from Stafford as I was hoping, but I guess getting the game winning goal in a 1 - 0 game is pretty big. The Sharks gave the Sabres no time or space, pretty impressive, but not as impressive as the Miller Shutout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaLaLaFontaine Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I saw the third period yesterday and i saw the second half of rhe game today. It is great to win in back to back games. Even greater with shutouts. But to be honest both teams played cats and mouse with us in the late game. I don't believe you can do this on a regular basis. 4 points back is locking fine, but we need to go on rolling. Hopefully with an improved offense the wins will feel like we earned them and not like we stole them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way that the Sabres can continue this type of third period play and expect to win games. No way. Can they get out of this West Coast trip this way? Maybe. But it certainly is not a viable long-term strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Also, I'm not even remotely tired right now. Don't know if it's overtired, or the adrenaline from that finish, but I'm not going to sleep for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
