Eleven Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Crap. :( It's worse. Lindy: Thought about using McC as a 5th D-man, and then re-thought it. And was glad Sekera came back. EDIT: Those posts are separate thoughts and were combined by the SS software; as for Ehrhoff, I put Lindy's comments in the injury thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Reading the enemy board was funny. It's weird to see Buffalo referred to as the team that "outclassed (us)", or the praise for Miller, or how "obvious" it is which team is on the rise out of the ones at the bottom.

Taro T Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Best I've seen of the Sabres in a long time. I feel a ton of pride right now. The way this team played during November, December and January. To see how far they've come is unreal. CoHo and Foligno look like the real deal. The 'core' really showed up. Loved Vanek's and Pommer's game. Even loved Roy and Stafford. Great game all around, have a :beer: for the boys tonight..... Stafford has been playing very well w/ Ennis. Keeping him (and Vanek) away from Roy is a good thing. I have to admit, Roy played well tonight. And as mentioned in other threads, Leino and Pominville appear to be immune to being Royed, so keep that line together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Really, the Sabres had every excuse to get beat in the 3rd period. Down three with injuries, in a hostile arena, it was inevitable that they would wear down. Instead, 2 of the 3 came back to play, and for most of the 3rd period, the Caps looked like they were on the second half of two games in two nights. So, so, so, satisfying to see this when I expected the Sabres to perhaps barely hang on. They handled the pressure the Caps threw at them as if it were practice. Total calm in the eye of the hurricane. I really think the Sabres have it in them to run the table. If they do, who wants to play them coming into the playoffs on a 10-game streak with wins against the conference's best? I just hope I'm not overestimating them at this point. Just win, baby.

Wyldnwoody44 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I haven't read thru the thread as its all a lil blurry ;) but we dominated tonight. Who woulda thought in such a pressure filled game that we would come on like this. SEF line on fire, van on board. If we make it into the playoffs, teams best beware of the sabres warpath!!! Now in all reality, there is still 5 games left and we are one loss away from being back in 9th, tough teams coming and I think toronto would love to play spoiler, we can't have a letdown. But for tonight let us celebrate the froth of victory and await our next opponent with baited breath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 And can anyone give credit to Darcy? The guy is one that does not like to give up players he went after, but he decided to give up Kassian for Hodgson. Coho is really beginning to shine, and I am no longer having any type of thought of what the Sabres may have lost w/ Kassian. Vancouver fans have to be scratching their heads. Coho is legit and an immediate improvement to the Sabres. Don't be silly. Anything good that Darcy does is strictly accidental. At least that's what I've read here.

... Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 "I guess we're better late than never..." Miller, when asked/told that this is the second season in a row that the Sabres have clawed back from being almost hopelessly behind, and that it's not normal.

calti Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Come on down for a visit to Texas in August, when we're pushing 120*F.

qwksndmonster Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Why is this bad? If they can pass Boston and we can pass Ottawa, I think that is our absolute dream 1st round matchup. I don't know about that. Boston has 93 points and are on a three game winning streak. Florida has 87 and only one game in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JujuFish Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 So is it too early to start thinking magic number? Because it's now 9 for Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korab rules Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 This is their biggest test since game 7 vs. Philly. I think this game can fairly be seen as a crossroads -- if they lose, they're probably out of the playoffs, and a significant revamp in the offseason becomes much more likely. If they win, the playoffs are more likely than not to occur, which gives them a shot at winning a round, and that will affect the way they approach the offseason. Have they turned a corner? Are we going to see a focused, determined effort that includes sharp goaltending, tenacious D AND timely scoring? Or will it be same-old, same-old? That's why they play the games, innit? Go Sabres. Pretty good showing by the core, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FogBat Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 The most significant aspect of this game was that the Sabres did not fall apart during that second period. They kept calm and made it to the locker room. And then they were even MORE calm in the third. That is such a huge change from months ago that's it difficult to believe this is the same group of people making up the team. I couldn't watch the game but I was watching the ticker. I admit that I got a bit worried when they had a really good start to the dame. They really surprised me there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cereal Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Some day soon there's going to be a highlight reel for the Buffalo Sabres 2011-2012 season, and some of these Foligno-Ennis-Stafford goal celebrations are going to be a big part of it. I don't know what the Stafford-haters here are going to offer to that, but it could potentially be amusing. Watching the game tonight, this line just brought a big-ass smile to my face, and no words needed to be said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
