bob_sauve28 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 I'd gladly pay another $50 a year to get RJ and RJ exclusively. Good period. They seem to play to the level of their opponent. I don't think the shot total reflects how the period went. It was pretty even I thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Miller is so sharp tonight! Buffalo is playing NJ's game. frustrating the middle and just plain old meddling in the zone. Being out shot, but Miller is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 After 2... Buffalo: :ph34r: NJ: 20 minutes, hopefully to go.. Sabres are picking their spots. NJ is dominating shots on goal, but... Finally a few Buffalo PP after giving NJ the first 3. This is shaping up to be a barn burner... Pretty good game to watch and NJ announcers other than referring to the Devil's shot that wasn't reviewed are very complimentary to Buffalo. Keep saying the teams and their organizations are mirror images, Not sure I buy that, but on a home grown talent level they are. Buffalo is an offensive machine and NJ is a defensive one...

Mr.Christopher Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Paetsch should of crushed Madden who slashed away at Miller's glove to knock the puck in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Christopher Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 For as well as Paetsch has played, tonight was one of his worst games of the year. He doesn't knock Madden around as Madden slaps Miller's glove and the puck goes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 The wheels definitely came off there for a couple of minutes. Too bad, they played a helluva game up until that point. Time for our guys to show some meddle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Seats Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Whoa, what the hell happened. I can't watch the game b/c tonight and I checked the scores, 1-0. I watch one episode of a TV show and it's 3-1? WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmwolf21 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Devils poked in one goal out from under Miller's glove; 23 seconds later Langenbrunner banks a shot off off Kalinin's skate into the net; two minutes later Parise gets a chance to wind up and blast from the left faceoff circle, and blows the shot past Miller. Following all that, the Sabres take three straight penalties, all but ensuring they won't be able to overcome the 3-1 deficit. And as I say that, TEPPO cuts the lead to 3-2...

FogBat Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Numminen scoring a goal? That's a real shocker! I guess he didn't want to be remembered for waiting so late into a season for scoring his first. kalinin should be cut before he makes it to the bus This isn't the first time I've heard this. BTW, if Kalinin did get cut or traded, who would we want in exchange (other than Brian Leetch)? Kalinin doesn't need a helmet. He needs :bag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjsbu96 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 initially, i wanted to come on here and rail against this team, but we played a great hockey team on the road and we had them for two periods. that madden goal is tough....i'ld like to think it was covered, but i guarantee if the shoe was on the other foot, i don't think we would have been complaining if we scored that way against brodeur. i thought the 2nd goal was a fluky misdirection off kalinin and parise finally scored a solid goal. i still don't like the 3rd period meltdowns - that upsets me more than anything, but i can't hang the team out to dry on this one..just a tough loss with a bad 8-10 minutes.

Allan in MD Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 If I went to work every day and made an initial impression (scored a goal in the first period) and said "That's it, I can coast," I'd either get severely reprimanded or fired. Waking up and performing in the last three minutes of the work day (after losing that tenuous early lead) just doesn't cut it. The second period tonight, and much of the third, the Sabres, basically, dogged it. There were times coming up the ice with the puck that they barely appeared to be moving. As the Jersey announcers stated in the third period, it became a veritable shooting gallery. I would hate to be a goalie on this team of late. You either keep the Sabre in the game, oftentimes single handedly, or you get tired of the whole deal and blow up. If you can't work the entire work day (game), you deserve to be replaced. Lindy, be a boss!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp000085 Posted February 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 i agree. we played them tough and even. Unfortunately we had a major meltdown and it cost us. I'll chalk tonight up as a fluke... Although, Ryan Miller has officially been put on notice. he at least has to hold serve against either the thrashers or senators in the next 2 games.

Lindy, be a boss!!! Good post, Allan. I guess it's easier for some to look at the goaltender for this loss than looking at the 18 guys in front of him. Paetsch doesn't knock down Madden before he can poke at Ryan; Kalinin redirects the puck into his own net; and finally Parise (a pretty good scorer) beats Miller from the faceoff circle, and everyone wants to blame the goalie. Personally, I don't understand why we wait to play the last three minutes with such an intense desperation, when half that effort spread out over the previous 57 minutes would usually mean a comfortable lead. If we are going to start looking at the goalies, maybe it is time to look at goaltending coach Jim Corsi. Since Dom left, we have had three highly touted young goalies - Marty, Mike and Ryan - come up through the system, two of which did not develop into the stars (or solid starters/regulars) we thought they would be, and now Ryan seems to be fighting his way through a sophomore slump.

Eleven Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 i agree. we played them tough and even. Unfortunately we had a major meltdown and it cost us. I'll chalk tonight up as a fluke... Although, Ryan Miller has officially been put on notice. he at least has to hold serve against either the thrashers or senators in the next 2 games. No--Miller needs to "hold serve" against the Thrashers AND the Sens, because he didn't tonight, and I'll bet that Biron could win 2 of those 3. (Yes, I know that not every goal tonight was 'cause of Miller.) On another topic, and I think it's fair to say that I'm not the guy who normally about calls, but wow, was that a lopsided game! Hook Paille around the neck 30 second in? No problem. Get cut down behind the net? Oh, Briere, that's on you. Gotta be kidding me; that one wasn't called well.
