sabregoats Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 It is just silly how many freak injuries have happened to this team this series. It is simply beyond belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you won't mind if I just tweak the ending so that it now reads: "...it's a level playing field, says Laviolette and he's real proud of the way his guys fought adversity to... take the Sabres to overtime before losing on Derek Roy's spectacular goal. Brian Campbell was too exhausted to speak, after playing a playoff-record 44 minutes and assisting on 2 goals, but not too exhausted to smile. Ryan Miller was also pretty wiped out due to his 41 saves, several of which left both Laviolette and veteran forward Doug Weight in tears. The Sabres arrived home at 2 AM to a delirious reception from their fans at the airport." We DON'T quit. Yeah, baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Seats Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Heres what I think: RALEIGH, NC: Buffalo Sabres owner Thomas Gollisano announced after tonight's win that Connolly, Kalinin, Numminen, and McKee were never really injured, but that it was all an elaborate scheme to increase the Buffalo Sabres regional market in the Rochester Metro-area. "We had trouble selling out the Blue Cross Arena in the 'home' game we held there," Gollisano said, "so we decided to make it more interesting for those fans by giving Janik, Jillson, and Paestsh more ice time in the conference finals. Gollisano said the inclusion of so many 2005-2006 Rochester Americans has substantially increased the Rochester Sabres fan base. Gary Bettman, who attended the game, said that the ratings boost in the Buffalo-Niagara-Rochester region has caught the eye of ESPN. The network is prepared to shell out millions to launch ESPN-H, a dedicated channel for hockey coverage. Barry Melrose has not been contacted by the new network. Sabres coach Lindy Ruff announced that the four injured defensemen and center Tim Connolly would return to action Monday night in Buffalo for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals. In other news, this fan is out of his mind and can't believe there are four hours to the puck drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Jillson plays the game of his life, a goal and some huge hits while eating up ice time. #2 star in a 2-0 win(empty net goal by Roy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
