deluca67 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I can't believe a GDT thread hasn't been started yet. Washington put the pressure back on the Sabres last night. Time for the Sabres to respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I hate these "party on the plaza" games and fan appreciation night. Why do I feel like the fans always go home disappointed in these games? This is the classic game where Buffalo will come out too amped...Pitt will get a couple of beautiful chances early and it will be up to Miller to keep it 0-0. Then Buffalo will turn it on, end up with like 40 shots and hopefully not get robbed. Seems like they've been able to put away their great chances recently. Gotta keep it going.

ROC_exEMT Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Ticked that Boston couldn't give us a little help last night. They fight back with 2 goals late in the 3rd to tie it and all Thomas had to do was make 1 more save and we at least stay in 8th by a point. I figured Boston was jinxed when they put the stat up that Thomas was 6-0 in shootouts this year. Oh well, we need to take care of our own business tonight.

Derrico Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 We need the win or a point to stay in 8th. So much on the line. Pitt played last night so do we catch a break and not see Fluery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta keep it going. :blink: Last year's fan appreciation night was pretty spectacular! They beat the Phlyers on Vanek's awesome OT goal, and Gerbe had that ridiculous over the shoulder scoop goal to tie it. I think this is gonna be a tight game, but I think the Sabres are going to have the advantage. If we can get under the Pen's skin early, I think it'll throw them off their game, basically do what we did to Washington. This is a Pen's team that just got swept in a home and home with the Islander's for crying out loud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterDays06 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Going to be one heck if a game. I wanted Pitt to win last night so maybe they would come into tonight all partied out.. Just get 2 points and send the 25 thousand + fans home happy... Let's Go Buffalooooo!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They beat the Phlyers on Vanek's awesome OT goal, and Gerbe had that ridiculous over the shoulder scoop goal to tie it. I do remember that well. I'm probably thinking more of the Party on the plaza nights like they had earlier this season and early last season. Ticked that Boston couldn't give us a little help last night. They fight back with 2 goals late in the 3rd to tie it and all Thomas had to do was make 1 more save and we at least stay in 8th by a point.

When Semin scored that shootout goal last night i knew Boston was toast. All Thomas needed was that save,,,argh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakstream Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Pens might start Johnson for this one. Hope that's true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_Dudley Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Well braggin rights are on the line with tonights game with all the yinzer's here in Da'berg. I too wanted Pitt to win last night so that maybe they would not be as desperate tonight. Pens are now just 2 points up on Phl and falling farther behind NYR for 1st. I expect to see a pissed desperate Pens club tonight however they did play last night which gives our boys the edge energywise. I watched some of both of the Isles Pens game and the key to beating the Pens is to take away time and space from their skilled players. I believe Bflo was the first to actually show that plan to the rest of the league and accomplished it in our Sunday afternoon win several weeks ago. Same formula applies tonight and with the better rested team and and a solid game from Miller I want the 2 points. Let's go Buff-a-lo ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTS Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Tonight's the night the Sabres show that Tuesday wasn't a fluke. I wouldn't rely on the Bruins for anything right now, I think they are in the neighborhood of 17-18-1 over their last 36 games.. not real good. It worked before... so here's another: See you after the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Huge game for the Sabres tonight. The Caps, who seem to produce a big win every time I think they're ready to run for the bus, did so again last night, so the pressure is 100% back on the Sabres. After winning 11 in a row (!), Pittsburgh has lost 3 of their last 5 (and 4 out of 7). What often gets lost in the Crosby/Malkin glamor is how physical of a team Pittsburgh is. They play a hard game. This game will be a real test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunomatic Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Lets do it ! Counting on the boys to ramp it up for this one. Another test to measure themselves against the best. GO SABRES ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Pittsburgh can't seem to keep the beachballs out of the net lately. It's time to throw a few more pucks on net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 From the looks of things, seems like Fleury is getting worn out and needs a rest, but they don't have a backup that they are comfortable enough with to give Fleury a night off and have a chance to win. Now with their defence banged up, it seems like the right time to be playing the Pens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dEnnis the Menace Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 This must be a record for amount of time that 4 lines of a Lindy Ruff team have been kept together! :rolleyes: I just realized that I won't be watching tonight's game :( Girlfriend asked me to take her place at a Larry the Cable Guy show in Binghamton with her parents so she didn't have to trade away a shift at work.
