Corp000085 Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 7pm this is a huge game for the sabres, as all seem to be now. If the sabres want to prove that they're the best, they must continue to beat the teams hot on their trails, such as the thrashers. The sabres are starting to roll on all 8 cylinders again too, so i don't really expect them to fall back now. Plus they've got some motivation from Ruff's callout about their uninspired play in the 1st period of the canes game. My only regret is that i'm again unable to watch the games! I can't wait to get home to my center ice! (i'm not complaining too much though, i got to see the caps game live). Anyhow, you can listen to the game at wgr550.com, you can talk about the game here in this thread or in the sabrespace chatroom! GO SABRES!

cdexchange Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I predict a big first period for the Sabres, after Ruff calling them out for starting slow. 2 or 3 goals in the first + solid D + Miller should = another Buffalo win :thumbsup: DB, Soupy, Kotalik (to extend his scoring streak to 6 games), and I'm feeling some Goose tonight. :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickshaw Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Hope I'm wrong, but we are Atlanta's bitch and I predict another loss. Sorry. Again, I'm open to being wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Hope I'm wrong, but we are Atlanta's bitch and I predict another loss. Sorry. Again, I'm open to being wrong. Nope, Sabres should win pretty big tonight. Waddell's crew hasn't had to face the Sabres with Henrik in the lineup and that will make a huge difference.

wjag Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 As I said a couple of days ago, I'm looking for a sign that this team has achieved elite status. I wanted to see them beat Washington, Carolina, Atlanta, NYI, Ottawa, Toronto and Pittsburgh IN A ROW. I know that is a lot to ask, but they are certainly capable. I want them to send a message to the rest of the league that they are worthy of their number 1/2 status in the NHL. So far so good, they took impressive care of Washington and Carolina. Knock back Atlanta next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_sauve28 Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Yes, let's kick Atlanta's sorry tonight! It will be a close game that could go either way but hopefully we will pull this one off. And PLAESE!!! Don't let Kozolov score the winner again!

Eleven Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 This is a big test. Right now, I think there are only two teams in the East that could win a seven-game series against Buffalo: Atlanta and Montreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crestwood Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 This is a big test. Right now, I think there are only two teams in the East that could win a seven-game series against Buffalo: Atlanta and Montreal. Ottawa may just squeak into the playoffs this year (at least it appears that way at this point), but I'd add them into that mix as well because the Sabres haven't proven they can beat them.

JujuFish Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Hope I'm wrong, but we are Atlanta's bitch I disagree there. We were 4-4 against them the last two seasons, and lost in a shootout by a single shot this season. Personally, I think we're going to win this game. I'd like to see a big win. I'd love to see Miller get that elusive shut out. But when everything is said and done, I'll be happy with just the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they probably won't make it to post season, but they give us fits. I do not want to see them in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JujuFish Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 That was a beautiful goal. Great passing by Max and Vanek with Briere putting it in for the score. 1-0 Buffalo!! Nice giveaway there, Max.... :censored: Fortunately no goal on that shorthanded breakaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JujuFish Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 The Thrashers were the better team for the first 15 minutes of the 2nd period, but Buffalo's 3 on 1 rush was the only difference maker as they win the period and go into the 3rd up 2-0. Miller and our PK have been the highlights of the game so far. The team started to heat it up in the last few minutes. Let's Go Buffalo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmwolf21 Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Anyone else get a kick out of the faux-tough guys who act like they want to get involved in the scrum but just hang around the edge yapping? Sort of like Larsen was doing in that last scrum that set up the 4-on-4... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mphs mike Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 peters out, stafford in. Thanks. I just noticed that listening to the second period. any explanation of the reason - other than talent and the ability to roll 4 lines of real nhl hockey players.

BetweenThePipes00 Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Lorentz said Max had back spasms this morning and he was surprised he is playing ... so maybe they called Stafford up just in case and figured why waste the trip when Max was able to go ...
