Bmwolf21 Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Posted March 26, 2008 Much much much better period - more desperation, better legs, better scoring chances, no defensive breakdowns.
wjag Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 If our PP could bang in a goal or two here and there we'd be in a lot better situation right now. We don't have a PP...

Bmwolf21 Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Posted March 26, 2008 We don't have a PP... It's disgusting. Looking at the numbers, our PP is 7-53 (13%) in March. Last two-PPG game was Feb 29 against Montreal.

Was it you that pointed out how though we score goals in bunches, we only do it certain games? Tonight being a good example...so far
Knightrider Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 Can't believe it got to 11:30 on Game Day with no GDT started, so I guess I'll step up to the plate. As such, I accept no responsibility for any Sabres' GDT jinx. Game Notes, courtesy of Yahoo Sports: Ottawa 41-28-7, 89 pts, 2nd NE, 5th Eastern Conference; 19-15-4 Road record at Buffalo 35-29-11, 81 pts., 4th NE, 10th Eastern Conference; 19-14-5 Home Record Ottawa Notes: C Jason Spezza had game-winning goals in each of Montreal G Carey Price's three previous starts against the Senators. ...

Mar 25, 1:47 am EDT Buffalo Notes: The Sabres have seven games remaining, all against Northeast Division opponents. They currently are 11-11-3 against their divisional rivals. ... It was announced before Friday's game that C Tim Connolly was having season-ending hip surgery this Monday. In the last three seasons, Connolly has missed 127 of the Sabres' 246 games. ... Buffalo entered Friday's action tied with Ottawa for the third-most goals scored with 234. The club tallied just once in the loss to Toronto. ... G Ryan Miller started his 28th straight game.

SabresFan526 Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 Welcome to the 30 goal club, Derek Roy. Great play by Roy on the goal, awesome moves. Excellent period. Now, we have got to play that third period like we played the second period. That simple. We play like we did in the second in the third, I like our chances tonight. No big defensive zone breakdowns, and very good scoring chances. We need to get that early goal in the third, and start taking control. Let's keep up the momentum.

Bmwolf21 Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Posted March 26, 2008 Was it you that pointed out how though we score goals in bunches, we only do it certain games? Tonight being a good example...so far Yep. It was nice to see the D&C do a piece about the same thing (you're welcome, Bob Mathews) before Friday's Toronto game: Not many people could have thought the Buffalo Sabres would lead the NHL in scoring this season after losing Chris Drury, Daniel Briere and offensive-minded defenseman Brian Campbell. But the Sabres have scored 20 goals in their last three games (all victories) and entered Thursday night leading the NHL in scoring with 3.14 goals per game, followed by Ottawa (3.12) and Montreal (3.09). That's the good news. The bad news is that 66 of those goals came in nine games (7.33-goal average). In the other 65 games, the Sabres averaged 2.58 goals. Buffalo has been a streaky team all season ? in terms of wins and losses and in scoring goals. Five Sabres have topped 20 goals (Thomas Vanek 31, Derek Roy 29, Jason Pominville 26, Ales Kotalik 22 and Jochen Hecht 21). Daniel Paille has 18 goals.

It is starting to show up. Someone wanted a 2-1 game. This is it. And one big fight to set the stage for Thursday night. Hope someone shows these guys the Boston score. No let up.. No let up..

Bmwolf21 Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Posted March 26, 2008 Sorry about not starting. My work proxy server decided sabrespace was a spam site... <_< No worries, KR - I've got your back. We shouldnt traded Campbell.. :nana: That was a Gretzky-esque setup I gave you there. All you had to do was tap it in the open net. Interesting. Hopefully as they mature that scoring will get spread out more One would hope so. They obviously have the firepower to fill the net, so what's the answer? Is it mental? Maturity? Overconfidence?
gregkash Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 millibank, please give your team a pep talk.we need some help.
Bmwolf21 Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Posted March 26, 2008 This game is ours. Ottawa is tired. It is starting to show up. Someone wanted a 2-1 game. This is it. And one big fight to set the stage for Thursday night. Hope someone shows these guys the Boston score. No let up.. No let up.. Agreed - this game is ours for the taking. 20 minutes of hard work, no brain farts and we should get two points. Come out lazy and expect it to happen without the effort and we'll be closer to playoff elimination. getting shots through is key. Are you talking about tonight or the PP woes?
