carpandean Posted December 27, 2008 Report Posted December 27, 2008 The Islanders are by far the best team in the league. We will have to play absolutely perfectly just to have a chance. /reverse psychology

We will have to play absolutely perfectly just to have a chance. /reverse psychology The second sentence isn't far off. That has to be the mindset. Is it time for Lindy to say "there are no gimmies in this league" again?
cilevel Posted December 27, 2008 Report Posted December 27, 2008 The second sentence isn't far off. That has to be the mindset. Is it time for Lindy to say "there are no gimmies in this league" again? This is true. They have played better recently, but they have also played better teams, and they seem to play worse against lesser teams (particularly at home). Their mistakes bite them in the arse regularly, so this team has to be on their toes every night or enter into a big risk of losing.

LabattBlue Posted December 27, 2008 Report Posted December 27, 2008 Didn't the Islanders just beat them 6-0 last week?<sarcasm> No. That was the Red Wings who beat San Jose 6-0. The Isles won for the first time in December last night. Ther are 1-9-1 for the month...

FearTheReaper Posted December 27, 2008 Report Posted December 27, 2008 After losing last night i dont really have much optimism about the game today. After we made it 2-3 with 2 minutes to go,it felt like we were going to tie it up,and win it. I dont know what it was. But the final 2 minutes of last night felt very epic to me. We played a pretty good game,against a very under rated team,and i thought we could pull it off. For some reason those final moments had a "make or break" season feel to them. Its almost mid way through the year,were surfacing at or below .500 just about every game. The Caps are a great team. We could of really gained alot of confidence with a win. But we didn't. It'll very interesting to see how we fair from here on out. But i really think this season is done. No playoffs two years in a row after 2 consectutive ECF's? As for tonight,well i'm not sure. I think the bad momentum carrys over and we lose again. Prediction: Islanders-4 Sabres-2
darksabre Posted December 27, 2008 Report Posted December 27, 2008 Can this team please just make up its mind as to whether it sucks or not. Either win the close ones or just stop playing.
SwampD Posted December 27, 2008 Report Posted December 27, 2008 Can this team please just make up its mind as to whether it sucks or not. Either win the close ones or just stop playing. :thumbsup: This is the essence of being a Buffalo fan(Bills or Sabres). No other fans have to wait as late in games to find out whether their team is going to win or lose(more often than not lose as of late) than us. When the Bills had a kneel down this week I almost fainted.
spndnchz Posted December 27, 2008 Report Posted December 27, 2008 If this team feels the way I do they are pissed off, ready to take off someone's head, lock down drag out score many and drink a beer after winners tonight. Sabres win 6-1.

Sabres win 6-1. This team has feelings?...who knew? I agree with the 6-1, though.
FearTheReaper Posted December 27, 2008 Report Posted December 27, 2008 This team has feelings?...who knew? I agree with the 6-1, though. Well from what i can gather this guy "Adam Mair" gets pretty upset about losing. But he might be the only one who does.
R_Dudley Posted December 27, 2008 Report Posted December 27, 2008 Well missed the game last night but sounds like I did not miss much. I also cannot watch it tonight but I am not sure I would want to ruin the extended Holiday anyway the way these lads play :rolleyes:.. So let's see what we got going here tonight ? -an injured Vanek -another local boy/rookie making his first start at home, -The break up of Hecht and Pominville -Miller back in goal. This team just needs to get back to playing smart 2-way hockey, and they need to play a complete game. Miller needs to play some consistent hockey and they just need to win... I don't care if it's 1-0 lets just win baby... No predictions from me tonight so I don't get too upset if they don't respond... Lets go buffalo, get off the losing streak NOW
SabreInFla Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 I wish this whole team played with half the heart that Roy has lately. He should be wearing the C.
JujuFish Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 Don't all chat about the game at once.
bob_sauve28 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 Seeing Hecht's face after he scored that goal was worth watching this game alone. Wow, he was happy. Max is on a two game point streak! Who knows, maybe he has turned a corner. That goal was pretty from Kotalik to Max to Hecht.
Stoner Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 Hecht's face was priceless. Kennedy made a nice play along the wall to support Numminen, who was chasing down a puck but had no chance to get to it. Kennedy came down, bumped with the Islander and chipped the puck to Numminen, who had an easy clear.
Foligno's Nose Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 Max is on a two game point streak! Who knows, maybe he has turned a corner. Extremely wishful thinking. But, yeah, wouldn't that be great! Good start. They have to play three periods like this though.
SabreInFla Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 I'm way too lazy to do the research. but I would love to know how many players have their first goal against the Sabres so far this season.
SarasotaSabre Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 Someone please tell Harry that Comrie is pronounced "Comree", not "Comray" - it's not that tough of a name, Harry..... :thumbdown:
Stoner Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 Someone please tell Harry that Comrie is pronounced "Comree", not "Comray" - it's not that tough of a name, Harry..... :thumbdown: Harry just said the Sabres need to win a period to win the game.
SabreInFla Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 Go figure..............this team is a fraud.
Hard Rain Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 Holy Hell :wallbash: Two goals with a pulled goalie. How often has THAT happened?
ThePebble19 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 I hate the makeup of this team. Put a friggin body on someone. Play some damn defense. Get Tough! They better win this in the shootout or im going to break something.
SabreInFla Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 Ok..............a bit of redemption.
