hopeleslyobvious Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Make it 8, and I should have used "fewer," not "less." Nice job Max. Decent job Marty. Decent job? Were you watching the same game as me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JujuFish Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Jeez, maybe I should stop listening more often. After Anaheim scored the goal to go up 2-1, I decided to go to the campus center and get some pizza. I come back and they've won 3-2. Sweet.

mphs mike Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Is it possible that Max is the worst finisher this team ever saw? Jeeez, what a miss..... update in OT! Nice shot Max! Marty better thank his mates for picking him up. I didn't turn the game on until the beginning of the second. JS Giguere tried to steal the game for the Ducks. Once Vanek tied it at 1 Marty tried to give it away on an extraordinarily weak - even for him - goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seannie34 Posted December 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 the sabres just refuse to lose games. they have been playing really well especially from behind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mphs mike Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 The real question is which Anaheim goal was weaker? I haven't seen the first - I can't believe it was worse than the second. Oh wait, this is Marty we're discussing. He deserves credit for very good overall play while Miller has been out, but weak goals late in tie games are a problem.

Eleven Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Decent job? Were you watching the same game as me? Pretty sure I was. 28 stops, a couple of which were nice (but not robberies), same as Giguere. Not terrific, hardly horrible, just decent. This board has a tendency to be overly critical of Biron. He's done pretty well as a backup, and tonight, while he let in one really weak goal (#2) and one that wasn't quite as weak as reported here (#1), he got the job done again. That said, yes, I'm looking forward to Miller's return, but I'm also confident that the team makes the playoffs even with this horrible sieve named Biron.

Marty is 11-4-1 and "He deserves credit for very good overall play while Miller has been out, but weak goals late in tie games are a problem."????????????????????? I guess all four of the loses are games where a weak goal went in when the game was tied? :blink: :blink: :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spandrel Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Another gutty win for the Sabres. Man, maybe Mike Mularkey should have some of the Bills watch these guys play. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristian Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 He's hardly been a sieve. 7 of the wins, he let in 2 goals or less. He's not the future, but don't exaggerate. Point taken, but his nack for letting in soft goals has been getting to me for years now, and while I agree he's been a decent backup during the last stretch, I don't think it's helathy for a penny-pinching team to have a 2 mill. dollar backup.

JujuFish Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 I have to say I'm definitely impressed with the Sabres when it comes to overtime. They've lost only one game so far in overtime, and that was to a good Rangers team, and Mika was playing hurt, AND Marty had to come in cold during the SO. Hopefully they keep up the success. I think this game makes the Sabres 5-1 in OT? 7-1 including preseason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Playfair Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Roy, Vanek and Max are due. and they came through! nice win. I love us scoring late in games..that has never happened before. We were never able to come back like we have been lately. Our players are just feeding off taht confidence.

Taro T Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Kotalik is too good not to have a nickname. How about the 'K-Gun'? Too corny or have I had too many beers. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: How about, it's corny AND you've had too many beers and it works for now. I like it.

LabattBlue Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Great comeback by the Sabres after a very lackluster first period. Other thoughts... -When did McKee become so terrible at handling the puck. I don't ever remember him being that bad in seasons past. I swear him and Grier would come in last and second to last if they ever had a skills competition among all NHL players. -Peters is a waste of a roster spot. I don't want to see Thorburn stay up here and only play a few shifts a game as I believe he can benefit from a season with the Amerks getting a load of playing time. That being said, I think an ideal guy for the fourth line who may only dress every few games would be Chris Taylor(I know he is injured, but do not know how long he is out for). He would be a nice fill in until the Sabres can get healthy. -Pominville looks like he has shown enough to stay up for awhile. -Power play comes up big again. -Biron was solid, but the terrible goals have to stop. Once again...POOR FUNDAMENTALS! -Please Lindy...I am begging you. Give Drury somebody to work with other than Grier. I know he would have to play the wing, but give Gaustad a chance with Drury and Hecht. -Keep up the good work. If the Sabres can get by Dallas & Minnesota with a split, they will be licking their chops for the home and home with Pittsburgh next weekend.

inkman Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 -When did McKee become so terrible at handling the puck. I think the new rules have affected him the most on the team. Peters is a waste of a roster spot. I don't want to see Thorburn stay up here Don't worry, he's in the Roc. -Pominville looks like he has shown enough to stay up for awhile. He would have to clear waivers to be sent down and their is no way he would make it through. Give Drury somebody to work with other than Grier. Grier is effective on the 4th line, that is where he should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
