Claude Balls Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Well I am pretty much convinced that this team is what it is...........mediocre at best and I can only see them making the playoffs as an 8 seed. I thought after a few tough wins strung together that last night would have been a good opportunity for the Sabres to have one of their break out games. Boy was I wrong. Tonight they get to face one of two career back up goalies in the league. Normally that would be reason enough to get a little excited for a Sabres lopsided win. I am not excited, nor do I expect the Sabres to even win. I am sure The Lime will be in goal, but with what's in front of him on the ice who cares. This season is quickly becoming uninteresting and the games have become a bit boring to say the least. That first game against Tampa had some excitement, but giving up those leads like they did was ridiculous. This team just seems to be stuck in neutral and there doesn't seem to be a repair shop anywhere near. :ph34r: NJ 4 Buffalo 2 :blush: :death: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 NJ got a week's worth of goals last night. Their tank is empty. Let down game for them after destroying the Rangers.... Buffalo gets the shutout behind Lalime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cilevel Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 7:00pmWell, this one is away, so that increases the chance of a win exponentially. Sad but true. I have X-mas parties to go to so will not be watching. I think I am happy about that. :wallbash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Devils have Rolston and Holik (2 tough veteran forwards they picked up last summer who both would've been perfect for the Sabres) back from injury. They also have mental toughness from top to bottom and an organizational commitment to winning. They lost Brodeur, took a couple of weeks to adjust, and have now won 9 out of 10. Our group of mental midgets won 3, 2 of which were against the worst team in the league, fell apart mentally yet again last night in the 3rd period of a tight game and now looks primed to go on another 4-game slide. OTOH, the Devils will probably have a bit of a letdown after a huge win over their rivals (the Rangers) last night. IF the Sabres can dig deep and IF Lalime can play well and IF Stafford, Kotalik, Max, et al can bury their chances, we could win. And nothing surprises me about this team anymore. So I'll watch and I'll hope and I'll be PO'd again if they lose again. Go Sabres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets Go Buffalo, show some stones on the road after a the ice capades 3rd period yesterday... and make your fans proud. As for me I will be at a christmas party w/family counting my blessings and like that 5 year old on xmas morn hoping to to find one more present at the end of day.

billsrcursed Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 There were quite a few interviews after last night's debacle where some players seemed pretty pissed. I'd like to see that carry over to tonight, I just don't know if we have genuine players. I fear they might be saying what we want to hear, followed by some drinking and "grab the sausage". I hope they prove me wrong tonight.... should be some good fights if nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phSabres84 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Ahhh!!!! Hockey Night in New Jersey - that can only mean one thing for us held hostage by bulls*** blackout rules, a drunken Chico Rieche stumbling through every word and Doc "There isn't a good thing to say about anyone except a Devil" Emmerick!!!! So let's see, crappy Sabres hockey, the Devils trap and an MSG+ broadcast, WOW what an exciting time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjag Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Wow... What a series by the Devils... Lalime is oh so lucky he wasn't beat on the wrap around... Getting a bit sloppy defensively..

JujuFish Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Thank god we have Vanek on this team! After Vanek had his 2 goal game to hit 22 goals, he had scored over 28% of Buffalo's goals. The next best percentage goal scorer on a team was only 23%, Carter for Philadelphia.
