Jeanbe Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I'd say that everyone on our roster has a leg up on Campbell. (Too soon?) Yep and as I watched the game I really wanted the Bruins to clear the zone. Campbell's play was awesome and he could have curled up in a ball like NYR Richards (too soon?) but he got his ass up and even put himself in a lane for a shot. THAT is a hockey player.

Flailing around on the ice like a beached salmon grabbing at every body part until you figure out which body part you think the refs will give the most sympathy for is what a real hockey player does.

SabresBillsFan Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Scary thing about this playoffs is that Boston should have been knocked out by Toronto. This is going to eat at Toronto all summer. Not that I care about either team but just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the late 70's I think it was called The Bacon. You'd lie flat and sizzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude_Verret Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 i still think its a good blue print for winning. Big fast farwards that hit.... What went wrong with carolina? Was the D that bad after the beating they gave the sabres? That and when Ward went down their unproven goalies were not up to the task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite clearly Richards was badly injured, I was told he sat out an entire game because of that cheapshot by Kaleta. I mean, a WHOLE game.....!! Just, wow.....!! /sarcasm off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jsixspd Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 If the Bruins are the measuring stick, ay? Jan 31 - Buffalo- W - 7-4 Feb 10 - Buffalo - L - 3-1 Feb 15 - Buffalo- W - 4-2 Mar 31 - Buffalo - L - 2-0 April 17- Buffalo - W - 3-2 Buffalo won their 'series' against Boston, 3 games to 2. Buffalo out-scored Boston - 19 goals to 9 goals Worth mentioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo out-scored Boston - 19 goals to 9 goals Worth mentioning. Do you have any reason to believe that last seasons' Buffalo Sabres could play at the same level you are watching Boston play at right now? I don't. Buffalo "got up" for Boston and played emotionally during the regular season. To Boston, those games were just another in a long season. We didn't see anything near Boston's best in those games.

Corp000085 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 After Campbell the other night, I'm all in on Boston for the remainder of the post season. I'll hate them again when it is all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jsixspd Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I think it's an interesting stat that Buffalo outscored Boston in 5 games by a more than 2 - 1 margin. However, in the 2 games they lost, they only scored 1 goal in 120 minutes. Inconsistency is one of the Sabres greatest problems. Boston was 4-1-2-2-2 Buffalo - 7-1-4-0-3 You never know which Sabres team is going to show up - the good Sabres or bad Sabres. That inconsistency really helped keep them out of the post-season.

True but the playoffs are a different animal and the Sabres are no where close to the Bruins in that respect. I used to work with a guy that had epilepsy. He got some good natured teasing about occassionally doing "the bacon". They used to call it the worm as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsixspd Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Well, I thought it would be interesting to compare the Sabres regular season record against the other Eastern Conference finalist - the putrid Pittsburgh Penguins. We exposed them for the frauds they are during the season. 3 games played Game 1; - 4-3 -L Game 2; 4-1 - W Game 3; 4-2 W So we won the regular season series against them too, 2 games to 1. And, as with Boston, outscored them - 12 to 6 or a 2 to 1 margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Year before last the Hurricanes swept the season series with the Bruins 4-0 and beat the eventual Cup Winners LA Kings while finishing 21 games under .500 against the rest of the league, statistical oddities happen over an 82 game schedule. Looking at this years final four it just points out exactly how far away the Sabres really are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at this years final four it just points out exactly how far away the Sabres really are. I agree. Teams that make it through to the finals ramp it up in the playoffs. Saying we beat them 3 out of 4 times in the regular season so we would beat them in the playoffs is laughable really. They obviously have intangibles that we don't. They made it through, we didn't.
