Corp000085 Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Tonight is a huge night for Buffalo. The entire game depends on how they come out. Forget the senators. They can play however they want... Desperate, giving up, floating, coming to win, bla bla bla... We've seen their best and we've beaten their best. It's all on Buffalo to show up, come out strong, and choke the life out of ottawa. The team did not finish its chances thursday. Afinogenov missed that wide open net. We took too many penalties. We lost the game, just like the senators lost game 2. Tonight is the night! By the way, its on OLN nationally, MSG locally, on http://www.wgr550.com for the streaming audio, and game chat is open at http://www.sabresreport.com/chat GO SABRES!

What an amazing ride this is...Lets all enjoy it as much as possible, because we all know how hard it is to get to where we are now... GO SABRES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PASabreFan Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I hope to be amazed -- and wrong -- again tonight. Because I have made peace with myself that the series will not end tonight. Ottawa, loaded for bear, the top seed in the conference, should be able to win a game at home to stay alive. They showed in Game 4 they are not going to run for the bus. And that's all fine. I predicted Sabres in six, and that's what we will have. It will be thrilling. The fans can finally have their elimination party. And the Sabres will stuff their pockets with a couple more million dollars... Win. Win. Win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have posted and said otherwise, but i knew deep in my heart that there'd be a weekend game. I was SCARED thursday night... Reality hit me friday, and today i feel the exact opposite i felt on thursday afternoon. This team has found a way all season, they saw what happens when they come out flat on thursday. The sabres will advance tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcrusho Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 This IS Game 7 for us tonight... IF we don't take it now it is going to be reallllly hard for us to come back from this series with all of the momentum that Ottawa would have gained... It's going to be another great game... Sabres Pull it out like a man cheating on his wife with another woman that doesn't want a child with the other woman! lmfao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I think I heard about a "Worst Metaphor" writing contest once. elcrusho, with your last sentence, you would be raising the Worst Metaphor Cup like a... like a... never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think elcrusho's last sentence is why we have the phrase "A for effort". I feel the same way about Buffalo tonight, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Listening to WGR. Paul Hamliton had some notes from the morning skate. Vanek looks like he's on while Novotny is out. The lines seemed to shape up like this: Dumont-Briere-Hecht Kotalik-Drury-Grier Afinogenov-Roy-Vanek Pyatt-Gaustad-Pominville Also mention that he thought their was zero chance of Dom playing this series. He is too selfish and wouldn't bite the bullet and lose the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp000085 Posted May 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 if this is true, hopefully vanek for novotny will make afinogenov better... Not to mention that vanek will probably be pissed off for having to sit half this series... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swedesessed Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Maybe the fact that Vanek was sitting will light a fire under his a$$ Let's hope Tomas responds almost like Miro used to when he was demoted to the 4th line.... I'm already nervous about this game 5 hours before faceoff!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JujuFish Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Thursday, I felt that if Ottawa won, they'd also win tonight. I will not be disappointed tonight, regardless of who wins, unless Buffalo doesn't even show up for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopeleslyobvious Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Honestly I think we have to win tonight. If Ottawa wins tonight, I think it's going to be a lot harder to put them away. We need to score first tonight. If we jump out to a lead, Ottawa is going to have to open up a little bit, and we can take advantage of it and get some better chances on Emery.

Spandrel Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I really think that this game is crucial for us. I think we definitely have to come out and score first and keep the pressure on the Senators. I do worry that if the Sens win tonight, the "choke" chatter is going to start ratcheting up, and not losing this series is going to start to become an issue. In some sense, you almost wish we had lost one of the first 2 games in Ottawa and swept at home to go 3-1 instead of going up 3-0 and losing game 4. It seems like the whole issue of "pressure" and "choking" wouldn't exist, at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit151 Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I'm working at the bar tonight. I have to miss the game. They sometimes play the game I'm interested in on the big screen, but if I'm busy serving drinks, it doesn't matter anyway. The good news is, the Sabres seem to have won more often than not in these games I couldn't watch on Saturday nights, especially when I expected them to lose. I'm afraid I expect them to lose tonight. More good news, I have a bounty of alcohol at my fingertips to ease the pain, or perhaps, just maybe....celebrate. Ryan Miller, I've been so-so on this guy from day one. Tonights the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JujuFish Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Obviously, the key to winning a game in this series is GET OUTSHOT. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp000085 Posted May 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Buffalo 1, Ottawa Referees 1 I'm pretty content. we got the first goal, stayed strong throughout the first, and the only goal against us was on a JOBBED 5 on 3 attempt for the refsenators.

Spandrel Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I know I said "don't blame the refs", after the last game, but the officiating in that first period was indefensible. I'm usually pretty level-headed about this, but even I'm shaking my head. Though, even if they gave us extra penalties, we'd just fritter our power play away. That last power play at the end of the first period was ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp000085 Posted May 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Buffalo 3, Ottawa 2, Buffalo wins series 4-1 Utter domination with the exception of a fart for game 4, period 1 and 3. Now, lets relish in this for at least 24 hours... Remember, we weren't able to relish after the philly series due to the montreal OT game that ended about 16 seconds after the flyers series.
