SwampD Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 I just want to see one goal quick to make this exciting at the end.
Foligno's Nose Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 This game is playing out just like the last time we played them.. Out hustle and outhit them early and then get shutout late.. How many pucks have been available in front of the Anaheim net tonight that the Sabres just couldn't get to? Exactly. You have to score more than one goal. Anaheim still effectively shuts it opposition down when leading in close games like this. The team they have together could do some damage in the playoffs.
jwcolour Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Really? We had a healthy Miller/Vanek and still missed the playoffs last year. Up until the past couple weeks this season, we had a healthy Miller/Vanek and were hanging onto the 8th seed by a thread. You just admitted in your thread that it's going to be real difficult to make the playoffs now. Good. Confronting reality is always a good thing. Now here are 5 players off the top of my head that teams in the buying market might "rent" for a playoff push: Connolly Spacek Kotalik Numminen Ellis I don't think thats fair considering Vanek had a down year and we barely missed the playoffs and it takes a while for the young guys to mature at it seems they are coming along. Plus our horrible shootout record. Up until the time Vanek got hurt it looked like we were easily going to make the playoffs... possibly as high as a 5-6 seed. So I don't know why you think we are so terrible, though i'd agree we MAYBE could make it out of the 1st round. Nothing more. Yes I said its going to be difficult, no #%^$#! . What I didn't say is they have no chance like you did Mr. Tanner. I don't think Buffalo would part with Spacek on the grounds that he is one of the best defensement we have and im not sure why any teams would be interested in any of those other players except Connolly. But we don't know if the team thinks they have longer term plans for him.
Buffalo Wings Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Looking like another wasted opportunity....
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Outplay Ducks for 2 periods and end up on wrong side of scoreboard YUCK
Guest Sloth Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 I'm just now catching the game. Did Lalime play bad?
SwampD Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Still time left. You guys do know the game is still on?
wjag Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Looks like Carolina and Florida will also lose tonight. So while bad, it could have been worse.
Casey D Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Still time left. You guys do know the game is still on? j
ThePebble19 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 What do expect him to say. lalime sucks and we are desperate in the hunt for someone to carry us while Ryan is out? Yeah that ought to get ya a deal and help your goalie You can say something like...we have confidence in Patrick, or something like that...You don't have to go as far as saying he is as good as it gets as a backup, because that is just a ridiculous statement.
ThePebble19 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 I'm just now catching the game. Did Lalime play bad? Yes. But the play in our own zone and converting scoring chances has been worse.
wjag Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Buffalo PP 2:26 left in the game SCORES!!!!! Kotalik that was 6 on 4.. 66 seconds left Buffalo: :worthy: :worthy: Anaheim: :censored: :censored: :censored:
jwcolour Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 I'm just now catching the game. Did Lalime play bad? Well people on here want his head... However the first goal wasn't his fault at all... Lydman as usual with a crappy turnover let Teemu walk in all alone. 2nd goal was a shorthanded goal that got deflected so that wasn't too bad either though he might have been able to get more square. 3rd goal he lost track of it behind the net and someone wrapped around real fast and it went off Goose aparently and in... The third one was ugly the other two weren't too bad.
ThePebble19 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 If we get a point out of this, I might pee my pants. Mostly because Ive had to pee the whole game, and I don't want to wake my 10 month old by opening the bathroom door and hearing it creak outside his room.
jwcolour Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Ales should have the hat trick with that other damn post.
wjag Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Ducks ice the puck with 50 seconds.. Win the damn draw
Sabretooth73 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 i will $hit my pants if the sabres get a point
jwcolour Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 I rewound it on DVR... Gooses helmet got his face goose wasn't lookin.
Guest Sloth Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 No last second magic like they had the other night against San Jose...shitt.
thesportsbuff Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 LOOOOOOOOL @ BIG #%^$#!ING LALIMe dgasgasgasg
McJeff215 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 LOOOOOOOOL @ BIG #%^$#!ING LALIMe dgasgasgasg He wasn't *that* bad. Of course he's no Miller. We're not going to get a Miller for Lalime money. Sure, he could have played better, but I wouldn't put this L on his shoulders at all.
SwampD Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 We lost by one goal in Lalime's first game as a starter. Can we please shut the F''' up about the season being over and the end of the world...dogs and cats living together. It was a good game. We're still going to be in it at the end and that's all we can ask for with our leading scorer and #1 goalie out.
jwcolour Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 He does blow... But he was ok in this game. Can't expect any goalie to stop Selanne walking in alone. 2nd goal probably should have had but it got tipped... not good though 3rd goal...completely lost track of puck. Ugly.
