GAME DISCUSSION THREAD

Why is Miller so great on breakaways and seems to struggle so much in shootouts. Is it just a simple question of being able to use "the book" on Miller during shootouts? Of course, I guess having your choice of shooters helps, but Miller seems so much more solid on breakaways.

 

GO SABRES!!!

On breakaways, they happen much faster. The forward can't get fancy or a backchecker will get them. In shootouts, the shooter is much more relaxed.

Nice PK. Next goal wins this one.

I appreciate the good insight. Thanks.

 

GO SABRES!!!

Has Buffalo had a power play this game?

[ROC Sabres]

balls. Hope you're wrong jag.

[ROC Sabres]

Has Buffalo had a power play this game?

In the first. Scored in about 3 seconds, hence they aren't giving them another.

[ROC Sabres]

Too many good opportunities not ending up on sticks. :wallbash:

[sabre snipe]

ugly, ugly game.

[JohnRobertEichel]

Oh well.

[SwampD]

I like it. One gooch down. One to go.

[Healthy Scratch]

Lackluster effort. The only positive was the PK.

Did they work hard enough to draw one? Sorry, that dog ain't barking tonight.

[Stoner]

I haven't brought this one out in awhile: Miller Special. Man, that was classic. Shot from near the blue line, tipped way up top, little to no screen, Miller's down, doesn't react until the clink. Only thing missing was the WTF.

[rickshaw]

That was ugly. Not a good game. Cost me a beer, and a sports action ticket to boot. Last time I bet on the Sabres. Best to leave them out of all betting.

What a way to waste a game against a bad team and Miller. Lalime should have started, maybe it would have made them play harder....

Lalime most definitely should have played, despite Miller's dominance. Like they say, all good things come to and end, and Miller's dominance did tonight.

 

BTW, Love Tyler Ennis.

I guess but did you see the anthem singer? Yowsa! (I feel old)

No dammit. Hot one aaay?

I really was just asking because I couldn't remember one. I think I was out of the room for their only PP. I don't think even SR believes that the refs had anything to do with tonight's outcome.

[SabresRepublic]

Didn't watch the game until the 3rd period. We could have won it - that goal against Miller was luck!

We had some good chances late.

 

Outshot 2nd and 3rd periods in what should have been lock down better defense.

 

We had 6 penalties against. Roy's penalty was bonehead - he needs to get rid of his ADD.

 

Since I did NOT see most of the game, were the penalties against us otherwise earned by Toronto? In other words was the officiating transparent?

 

GO BUFFALO SABRES!!!

I didn't see your comment before I posted mine but it seems like the officiating was NOT mediocre.

Kudos to Toronto!

 

GO BUFFALO SABRES!!!

Sens/ Car going into a shootout

 

Sens win in a shootout :wallbash:

[SabreInFla]
