BetweenThePipes00 Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 2-0 at the end of 2 ... Gaustad stopped on a SH breakaway , puck was rolling all over the place but ... overall a good period for the Sabes ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spandrel Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Dumb penalty, but Lindy Ruff definitely has gotten this team playing more disciplined tonight. Only 2 penalties in 2 periods is not bad. The Sabres dominated that 2nd period after being out-skated and somewhat out-played in the first period. In the new NHL, a 2 goal lead is nothing, but so far, so good. Right now, Sidney Crosby up on the penalty shot for PIT vs. Ward and Ward stones him. Carolina wins the shootout 1-0.

Spandrel Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Amerks update: Huge melee on the ice right now with benches cleared with 4 fights on the ice at one time. Amerks up 7-4, with 12:45 to go. Roy has 4 points in the game. Pominville having a good game too. 3rd period just underway at HSBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetweenThePipes00 Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 2-1 ... Murray with a rocket ...well blame that one on the new rule ... connolly line was out there forever with 2 icings and was not allowed to get off ... against the Thornton line ... not good ... can't ice the puck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spandrel Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Yeah, the last goal was the result of the new icing rule. That line was dog tired and the Bruins put out their best line and took advantage right off the bat. The Sabres have put in some good shifts since, especially from the Briere line. Gotta' get that goal back, if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spandrel Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Things getting a bit chippy there, and no surprise, Gaustad is in the middle of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetweenThePipes00 Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Love the way Sabres responded to the goal ... didn't get one yet but attacked right away ... Big scrum behind the Boston net .. .NESN mikes caught a few F-bombs ... Which reminds me, I love the fact we play these guys (and the rest of the divisiion) 8 times like the old days ...

Spandrel Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Connolly gets nabbed for another penalty, and Miller just comes up with an amazing save to rob Samsonov on the power play. Man, we gotta' get this puck out of the zone. Boston is hammering Miller so far. EDIT: Burned off the power play, but Boston is totally controlling this game right now, and the Sabres are doing all they can to clear the zone each possession.

BetweenThePipes00 Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Grier did a nice job on the PK ... they peppered Miller but he's holding up well ... They defnitely got life from the power play ... Thornton-Murray line much better with Samsanov on it now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spandrel Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Miller just made another great save. AND KOTALIK ON THE TURNOVER BREAKAWAY LIGHTS THE LAMP!!!! 3-1!!!! Huge goal after an amazing stout effort by Miller. Man, that is an absolute NAILZ goal to go back up by 2 with 3:00 to go in the game. C'mon guys, let's keep it going.

Spandrel Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 2:00 to go and the Sabres are going on the power play for the rest of regulation. Gaustad getting an assist on Kotalik's goal with a nice little pass to release him. Good to see Paul get a point in this game. He has really played a scrappy game today.

Spandrel Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Game Over! Buffalo 4 Boston 1 Ryan Miller definitely gets my #1 star. He put up an amazing effort tonight and stood damn tall in that frantic 3rd period when the Bruins were peppering Miller. It really looked like the Sabres were going to let this one slip away, but Miller's goaltending kept them in this game. He looked poised and confident in there. Awesome game. Tomorrow night is going to be another huge test of this young club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetweenThePipes00 Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 very nice startto the season ... I am impressed with this team so far .. granted this one was closer than the score, but the weathered the storm in the 3rd and then put it away ... the new rules have created a TON of space so far and they are taking advantage ...

mphs mike Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Hey betweethepipes00 who is trying to defend Bert in your avatar? Is that a Golden Seal or a North Star? On a related topic- how do I upload an avatar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Playfair Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 4 goals was our normal total over 4 games. 40 shots???? am i dreaming? afinogenov is gonna have a monster year, if you cant clutch or hold this guy to slow him down, you cant stop him, he is too good of a skater. GO SABES!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetweenThePipes00 Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 I hardly noticed any of the defensemen tonight ... gave up a lot of shots but no glaring mistakes ... if they stay solid like that and don't give them any gifts, looks like Miller can handle the rest. He may not win games by himself but for the first time in a long time, the Sabres might not need their goalie to do that. It is definitely a Golden Seal in my avatar ... no idea who, I found that pic on SI.com a couple years ago ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
