Corp000085 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 7:00pm I know that the sabres have truly been a bad team in 2008, but finish the year off strong with a victory and something to build on in january. Psychologically, this is a huge game for the team and fans. Win and everything will be ok for a few days. LETS GO BUFFALO! p.s. on a personal level, this will be the last game that I will have missed due to being home for the holidays. I haven't been around a tv to watch the games since the 19th!

Psychologically, this is a huge game for the team and fans. Win and everything will be ok for a few days. LETS GO BUFFALO! Inconsistent? Yes. Mediocre? Yes. Unable to finish? Yes. Bad? Possibly. Truly bad? Not really. At least not relatively speaking. Tampa Bay (26-37-15, 42.9%), Atlanta (27-40-11, 41.7%), Islanders (26-44-11, 38.9%) and even Ottawa (30-39-9, 44.2%) have all been truly bad in 2008. Far more so than the Sabres (37-29-15, 54.9%). Even Florida (36-31-11, 53.2%) and Toronto (35-35-9, 50.0%) were worse. Like I said, mediocre. That said, I'm sick of mediocre. Let's put together a run of wins!

spndnchz Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Goose and Gerbe playing. Peters and Max sitting. Kaleta out three weeks and wearing a neck brace. Rivet still out. I'll be at the game although I'm not too excited right now. Win and all is well again. You hear me hockey god? WIN WIN WIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 what section if U don't mind me asking? Somewhere in the 300s. I'm really not sure yet but might post it later. I'm sure I have a jersey that no one else does, a 3rd Dan Paille. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first beers from there taste like the cleaner they use in the lines and are warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crestwood Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 The Sabres are playing like they've already started New Year's celebrations. Did Theodore even have to make a tough save? It seemed like Buffalo was only capable of getting off weak backhands. That PP was atrocious. Pominville botched a clearing attempt that eventually led to the Caps' PP goal, on which Laich made Spacek look like a pylon. Let's see some sustained pressure, boys! And for Pete's sake, Roy, stay on your damn feet! Telling stat: Vanek's at 3:43 for even-strength playing time — less than Kotalik. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_Dudley Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Just saw the 1st period stats, 2 scoring chances and they both end up in the net 3 for the good guys and nada a thing. Don't they know to get those shots low on Theodore so he can give up some juicy rebounds... Okay PP now time to make them pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, it's better than talking about that first period. Maybe the bottom of the chart looked like a Russian name? That's what I took from it. And you're right, this discussion topic is way more interesting than that period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
