wjag Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Looks like Rope-a-dope is back. Didn't it seem like the WHOLE third period was played in the Buffalo zone???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabregoats Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 The second period certainly wasnt a rope-a-dope style. I think the sabres were forced to play that way in the third because of the canes pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted May 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 I agree the second was definitely Buffalos'. But heck, that third period gave me flash backs to Ottawa... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 The 1st and 3rd were both a bit too rope-a-dope for my taste -- esp. since we showed in the 2nd that we can really take it to them. I don't think this was a strategic decision so much as it was lack of execution. I heard Lindy say in the postgame press conference that he didn't think we played particularly well, except for the 2nd. I think this was part of what he was referring to. Still, a great win, and great to see Ryan very much in the zone. If he keeps playing like that we will win this series. Go Sabres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
