wjag Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 Not only Toronto, but Montreal just 2 days after Toronto, then Ottawa, and Ottawa yet again the following week. The next four should be fun and exciting. I've been so fixated on January roadie that I haven't looked ahead. Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa are all in a bit of a swoon. Couldn't bee a better time to hit them. No rest for the weary. Four games in six nights plus a trip home from the west coast.. Been out there so long, it's like a west coast team coming east to play.

Between the night off tonight and a good sleep on the plane trip back, Miller should be as fresh as roses for this next run. :bag:
deluca67 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 This has been a lengthy road trip. I know Ryan Miller has shown he has the ability to play a large number of games, but everyone needs a rest. Buffalo has Toronto coming up and that game is more important. The Sabres have a number young players going tonight, so why not gamble on Lalime? They had five days off for the All-Star break. Rest shouldn't be an issue at this point. I have to ask. How is the two points against the Leafs more important than the two up for grabs tonight?

SwampD Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 I have to ask. How is the two points against the Leafs more important than the two up for grabs tonight? I was wondering the same thing. I could see if it was Florida or Pittburgh, but giving the Leafs points isn't that big a deal other than it would mean we lost to the Leafs.
deluca67 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 Just got the word from NHL Home Ice on XM Sirius that Lalime is indeed getting the start tonight. Seems the Sabres may feel the injuries are too numerous to overcome. Lets hope the Lalime can pull two points out of arce. I hate conceding points.
wjag Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 I got a feeling we are going to see Lalime's best tonight... People are unreasonably down on this guy. He hasn't played enough to form a realistic opinion. I concede no points tonight... I've had Giguere all season in fantasy hockey. When he plays, he routinely gets lit up. He hasn't been the same since that family incident..

wjag Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 I hope they get better than that tonight. Sees there's the thing... Exactly what are you basing your opinion on? He has played as well as the team in front of him. The team is playing better, so I expect he'll play better... This is Ty Conklin all over again. He never got enough starts in Buffalo to show what he could do. He was routinely trashed on this board. What happens, he heads off to Pittsburgh and gets a chance to start everyday. He turned out to be a much better goaltender than we thought. Lalime needs to get some starts..
NowDoYouBelieve Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 Is Hecht in tonight?? Nope. Usually, I'd say no big deal but it's probably Peters replacing him. :death:

cdexchange Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 I hope they get better than that tonight. You expect him to do better than his best? :blink:
Sabretooth73 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 Im so disgusted with the 6th super bowl by $hittsburgh I am speechless....whats next, a stanley cup for that dispicable filthly wasteland?
Sabretooth73 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 Lalime is a joke people if you think differently you're in denial............... he sux!
evil_otto Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 Lalime is a joke people if you think differently you're in denial............... he sux! Oh come on, it's not like he's from Pittsburgh or anything! :lol:
wjag Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 What's a "Koda-lick"? Apparently it's a Sabres forward... Sabres are buzzing early...
ROC Sabres Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 So Weber with 3 bad giveaways on that last shift, depending on what you count as giveaways maybe 2 but shots off of all of them.
tulax Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 So Weber with 3 bad giveaways on that last shift, depending on what you count as giveaways maybe 2 but shots off of all of them. Yeah, that was a rough shift. They're definitely pressuring them deep in their zone.
wjag Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 Bandicoot gets a nice doorstep puck Buffalo: :worthy: Anaheim:
wjag Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 GREAT, Lalime plays well, gets cut He's fine.. just a flesh wound..
