I doubt it . It was just of matter of time before someone started suffering from head inflation from all those W's. It's happened now in the worst way, and this is the result. Hopefully they'll figure out that nobody on this team belongs in an all-star game, and get back to the original game plan.

This team is so lost right now. Everytime they make a mistake it ends up in their net.

This skid just doesn't seem to want to end....

Looks like we pick up where we left off..... *sigh*

What do you expect, it's Van Massenhoven.

It's 3-1.

lol, how sweet is this? 1 shot on goal in the 3rd :blink:

He does that a lot when on the PP.

And the ref gets an assist on that goal.... :angry:

Oh well Sabres got what they deserved tonight, with such poor finishing and poor execution on the 5 on 3's.

Mair, Kalinin, Roy.

Lol, I literally *just* hit the submit button, then Jim started on it :-)

Yeah, let's hope he's got something other than his pokecheck up his sleeve for this shootout, cause the poke *never* works for him.

And down goes Roy :( That's three injuries tonight...

That, and let's hope other teams don't pickup too many pointers from FLA, cause man do they play some boring hockey. Wow, sure is nice to be able to say that about someone else, for once.

Another delay of game, what ARE they doing??

Another delay of game *sigh*

You ask me, I'd prefer if NO Sabre was at the oplympics. They have a mean schedule coming up right after. Let the other teams top guys wear themselves out, and let our guys rest for 2 weeks. But that's just the cynic in me :D

Vanek makes it 2-0 on the PP.

Just heard Briere's injury has been cofirmed as a sports hernia. Damn.

I know I've said this before, but what is Peters doing taking up a roster spot?

A few thoughts on tonight : Great goal by Pominville, great play to break up a 2 on 1 in the 2nd. Thibault gave Max an early christmas gift, weakest goal I've seen this year. Why is Fitzpatrick on this roster? First his misplays a puck, to srping Crosby in on McKee for the 1st goal. On the 2nd goal he left his position in front of Biron to take out a Pens player with two Sabres all over him already? Result is that Oullet has about 3-4 acres of space to whack home that rebound that was lying in Fitz's skates. Jeeez, talk about poor judgement. Biron looked horrible on the 3rd, a weak wrister from the point, and the rebound ends up right in the slot for The Pens to bang home. Plus he still goes to his knees waaaaaay too soon. GREAT glove save in the end, though. Gamesaver. Crosby will from now on go under the name Crysby as far as I'm concerned. Christ, he should be playing for the Flyers as much as he cries and whines to the refs. Don't think I saw one play tonight where he didn't go straight to the ref to whine about something when the whistle went. Calder candidate? Maybe, but seriously, what a whiner.

The reason I'm not convinced, is that I've seen Biron go on these streaks before, and yet return to his unfocused ways again and again. We'll just have to see whether or not this is another of these streaks, or whether he's finally realized the season starts in October, and not late January. Give credit where credit is due - sure - but you can't blame people for being a little sceptical.

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.

Wel guess he WAS indeed due, nice call :lol:
