jp... Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Great game for Buff... It's fun to have confidence in a goaltender again... I can't stand the Oilers or their broadcast...

PASabreFan Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Just saw Connolly's goal... looked like an old film of Gilbert Perreault! Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Playfair Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 connolys goal was ridiculous - he took it end to end and beat a bunch of oilers. caught the game on the free center ice - a true team and full 60 minute effort, with some very nice goaltending mixed in. so satisfying.

Taro T Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 They are now 16 games over 0.500 for the 1st time since the end of the 2000-'01 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarrytown Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 and I have to say the Ray Ferraro is one of the worst color guys ever...thank god we don't have to listen to him any more this season..jeesh. I always feel a bit cheated when I can't listen to RJ on CI. Go Sabres! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JujuFish Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Man, I almost wish I had the Edmonton feed just to hear how horrible it was. Almost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Playfair Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 The announcers were not as bad as the guys in the southeast....canadian broadcasts always have some redeeming value, at least the comercials are entertaining, plus we won, so they sounded great!

JujuFish Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Wow, I didn't realize that each team only got off 4 shots each in that 3rd period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JujuFish Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 According to my calculations, the game puts Miller past Lundqvist in SV% by 2 thousands of a percentage point, while Lundqvist's GAA is 2 thousandths of a goal better. Not that that means anything, just thought it was interesting enough to comment on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JujuFish Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/your_call/?messageid=791024&hubname= Hehe, interesting comment. "The refs were brutal tonight as Buffalo got away with alot tonight. How was there not a kneeing penalty called when Hemsky went down? I thought the first two Buffalo goals were a little weak, right through the five hole twice in the same spot. Our PP was disgusting and I don't understand why they don't just shoot more, just get it on the net! Lowe better be getting working the phones as the Oil are slipping in the standings. Very frustrating to watch tonight. I'm hearing on CHED that Lowe or MacT are in the room with the boys and the doors are still closed. Let them have it!!"

inkman Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 i don't want to stray too far off topic here, but i just have to say that connolly's goal gave me a freakin woody. damn, that was sweet.

And i no longer want Peca in Buffalo anymore, this new game is not for him... Vancouver is going to be tough on Thursday... Who is this Peca you speak of? He wasn't playing tonight. Actually if it wasn't for the penalties, I don't recall him doing anything. Like touching the puck, or making a hit or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Great win to start the road trip. -Miller was very solid and once again made some big stops. -Good to see Roy get a goal. I really believe he has raised the level of his play over the last couple of weeks. You can see the confidence in him when he is handling the puck. -I thought the Sabres were quick, but damn...Edmonton can skate. -Nice hit by McKee on Hemsky. Also good to see Kalinin stick his nose in there when McKee was on his knees and could have been pummelled by Smith. -PP was in a funk all night. 2 great individual efforts by Connolly and Max, but overall, they were not sharp at all. -I'm not sure what is up with Vanek(foot injury bothering him), but his play the last two games has been very uninspiring. -Edmonton's goalie sucked. Don't they know that they have to do whatever it takes to pry Biron from the Sabres. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabresince70 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 The unfortunate part is, I don't think I want anyone from the Oilers in the Sabres locker room now. If Marty does end up there, I hope it is a 3 team trade. I'm probably still blinded by their whining and crying, but I wouldn't want to see that here. Hey, did anyone else think Max had a great night all over? In his own zone I thought he did well (Lorentz mentioned a couple games ago that he thought Max was Buffalos best "defensive" forward in a game and I think he has kept it up pretty well. He was also the 3rd Sabre into the scrum after McKee and Kalin in the first period. (He almost over skated it - but it is Max that was pulling the Oiler off of Kalinin) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
