carpandean Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Another reason the Sabres need to win is that they have simply stunk in the month of January for the past two seasons. true that. Been a tough two years in that regard. This year seems totally different Geez, sometimes I don't know why I bother posting: They were 9-4-0 in January last year, beginning with a 4-0-0 run. :nana:
... Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 I think this game is Miller's game to win. He's not been his best lately, just like the rest of the team. Honestly, at this point in the season given what he's shown us, I think he needs to get his head back in the game. This is not to say that he's been stinking up the joint, but rather if Lalime, of all people, can have the excellent showings he's had this season, certainly Miller should be able to one-up that and show up for the first period and a half along with the rest of the team. So, if there's any statement to be made with this particular game, I think it should include a statement from Miller.
wjag Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 nice PK there. Major save by Miller on Metropolit
wjag Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Not sure what to make of that period. Montreal seemed to always have Buffalo backing up. I guess the Sabres took their best and survived.
end the curse Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Great job of killing penalties. Not a great period, but clearly our best 1st period in 4 games. Stafford looks like he's really on his game, and Miller is sharp.
JohnRobertEichel Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Not sure what to make of that period. Montreal seemed to always have Buffalo backing up. I guess the Sabres took their best and survived. I look at it as a positive. We survived the dreaded 1st period tied at 0-0 and only outshot by 4.
Eleven Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Not a bad first. I know he's a rookie and all, but Kennedy needs to get a little smarter.
K-9 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 I see how SDS feels about Montador being an accident waiting to happen. Makes me nervous watching him handle the puck sometimes. GO SABRES!!!
wjag Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 2 on 1 rush, Pominville and Connolly.. Connolly gets two cracks at it Buffalo: :worthy: Montreal:
K-9 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Is TC feeling snubbed by Team USA? He's been bringing the effort lately. GO SABRES!!!
wjag Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Sure seems like Buffalo has been the better team this period.
Eleven Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Sure seems like Buffalo has been the better team this period. Harry Neale just said the same thing.
wjag Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Harry Neale just said the same thing. I think he reads my copy :thumbsup:
repster Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Not a bad road game so far. They are working hard at both ends of the ice. 20 more minutes of tight checking and waiting for a good opportunity.
Calvin Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Not a bad road game so far. They are working hard at both ends of the ice. 20 more minutes of tight checking and waiting for a good opportunity. The hard work has been very good - we got a few good chances too, and scored on one. Miller has been fantastic yet again, though I am getting tired of seeing Spatch firing them in one after another.. Goose needs to lay him out or something!!
DR HOLLIDAY Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Great back checking by Pommers and Vanek.........Miller looks like Miller again, keep it up boys....... :beer:
Eleven Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 I realize they didn't score, but that power play wasn't as horrible as many of them have been lately.
wjag Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Great back checking by Pommers and Vanek.........Miller looks like Miller again, keep it up boys....... :beer: Clearly the best backchecking game, and big backchecks to break up rushes, I've seen out of this team..
darksabre Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 I like games like this because Tyler Myers just makes things look so easy. "Oh hey, I'll just glide in over the blue line and fire one right on. No big deal." He faked out a Canadien player in the neutral zone in the second without even doing anything. I think he just confuses guys with his size.
matter2003 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Sabres just choking the life out of Montreal right now...
Eleven Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 All communication lost--TV and radio. EDIT: It came back about 45 seconds later.
Calvin Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Sabres just choking the life out of Montreal right now... Good! And now is the time to step on their throats with another goal as well.
Calvin Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Shame Kaleta's not playing today.. I'd love for him to inquire of Mara how his face has been doing lately.. :nana:
