"The Goose! the Goose!" Nice he deserves it...

 

agreed...this guy is my favorite sabre. only one to stand up for millsie tonight, works he ass off, can pot a few here and there. rarely takes a shift off.

That was fun. I can't even think how many times that same crosschecking play that Lydman did happens every game and is never called. NHL refs are maddening.

Huge win, but it's meaningless if they do not win tomorrow night in Montreal. The Sabres did everything in their power to lose the game tonight, but give them credit, they held the fort down in the third period and got that critical goal by Goose to clinch the game. Good win. But tomorrow is even more important than tonight. Absolutely must win tomorrow against Montreal if they even want to think about closing the gap and making a run to the playoffs in the last 9 games.

 

The third jerseys prevail, and seriously, these should become the permanent home jerseys.

 

Good effort from the Hecht-Gaustad-Kaleta line. I think we've found a checking line to play against top lines and this is it. I liked Paille and Connolly's play tonight. Good game and good win for Miller in his first game back from injury. Need to win tomorrow though.

Interesting stats:

11-3-0 in third jerseys

2-0-0 in slug jerseys, but with third logos on helmets*

9-10-3 with slug on jersey and helmet (@ home)

 

* in addition to this past Panthers games, they had them on the helmets in the only win that we had against Ottawa on January 6th.

 

Note: if anyone noticed the third logos on the helmets with the slug jerseys in any other game, let me know and I'll update the stats.

Hey, a win is a win. That means Buffalo has gained 2 points on the Habs. Just one game at a time. How is Rivet doing? I just got back from the sports bar. Can he play tomorrow night?

He came back out and finished the game.

I'm glad to hear I missed that! :w00t: Hopefully Rivet will be ready to go for tomorrow night's game. For some reason or another I'm having the same feeling I had when the Sabres opened up against the Habs. It'll be fun/interesting to watch. Kick some phucking arss Buffalo!!!

I don't remember anyone else pointing it out, but Goose got the ol' Gordie Howe hat trick: a goal, an assist and a fight (two, actually.)

 

Congrats Goose!

 

 

 

 

(Yes, I know that Gordie Howe only had like two of those in his career.)

Anyone want a good laugh? Check out Rob Ray's reaction at the 0:38 mark of Miller's interview:

I think he was hittin' the sauce last night. I noticed a couple of times during the game that he sounded a little rough.

One more thing I'd like to throw in terms of achievements. Miller recorded another 30 win season last night. This is his fourth straight 30 win season. Congrats to Ryan!

 

Also, congrats to Craig Rivet playing in his 800th career game last night.

 

Now that the milestones are out of the way, we have to beat Montreal tonight or else all of this is worthless.

Mission accomplished. Nice early goal. When it looked like Toronto was going to tie it up, the Sabres got the big goal.

 

Two game winning streak.. How long has it been since we were able to say that.

 

Team is healthy.. Still need a huge number of breaks to go along with a long winning sreak..

 

On to Montreal.. Keep hope alive, keep hope alive.. keep hope alive

You forgot that Moore's assist was his 100th career NHL point (45 of which have come this season.)

 

But, yeah, beat Montreal to make it all worth while.
