PalmTreeMafia Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 You wouldn't know it by the typical lifeless HSBC crowd, but this is a great hockey game going on. Sabres 4-5 in OT The fans are lifeless because they know this team isn't making the playoffs this year. Frigging terrible on-ice product at home yet again.
BuffaloFansR_Crazy Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 The fans are lifeless because they know this team isn't making the playoffs this year. Frigging terrible on-ice product at home yet again. How do you explain the same lifeless crowd last year when they won the division?
ROC Sabres Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 As usual, this is the Sens games to lose. They are playing the same way they usually do against them. And Roby just said it, pressure. They can't play against a team that forces them to make a decision. I hope I'm wrong but I feel like it will probably end up close to what the score is now.

Your right, it is going to be a tough 3rd period cause the sens are going to sit back. But the Sabres are clearly more skilled and have a better coach. I think they will break through the back-check and tie it up in the first 10 minutes. If not I hope something interesting happens because I'm not looking forward to another boring B-Lo vs. NJ game tomorrow with 2 teams playing the same D-first system. Just thank the hockey gods Biron is sitting tomorrow night so we don't have to watch another 1-0 game.
kishoph Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 I haven't seen them win 1 battle in either end of the rink. They're are going to have to dig to win this game.
Stoner Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 Kevin just said most games are one-goal games. I wonder if that's really true. Seems to me the PR staff -- and even Lindy -- haul the parity issue out of the closet whenever they need to try to cover the Sabres' ######. I hate Ottawa always standing over Miller after the whistle, while the Sabres almost never seem to be bothered by it. Michalek did it early in the game, went back there moments later to draw a penalty on Myers, then Alfie stood in front unmolested to score his first. This ALWAYS happens against Ottawa. I swear they test the Sabres in the first few minutes with this tactic to see what will happen -- and almost to mark their territory. A nice psychological ploy. Screw this. Imma choke the chicken to Ghost's new avatar.
bob_sauve28 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 One thing I'll give ruff credit for is sticking with sekera
BuffaloFansR_Crazy Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 Well I guess that solves the Rivet problem. Who would you put the C on?
SabreInFla Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 Rivet's done. You could have posted this two seasons ago.
bob_sauve28 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 Rivet was starting to play much better, too bad
Iron Crotch Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 I'd like to see some hats on the ice.
SwampD Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 You could have posted this two seasons ago. :lol: Ennis's refusal to pass is maddening. We have an extra skater and he decides to carry it in. :wallbash:
BuffaloFansR_Crazy Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 Anyone but Rivet and Connolly I would like to see Thomas with the C. I think it would take some off the pressure off himself and spread it on the rest of the forwards.
SwampD Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 What sucks about relying on Miller so much is that we can't run Elliot for risk of Miller.
nobody Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 No!!!!!! Celino and Barns have taken over Danny Gare No!!! The man needs a paycheck.
SwampD Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 We HAVE to win this game because I don't think Ottwa is very good.
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 not giving the home town crowd much to root about lately
bob_sauve28 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 We HAVE to win this game because I don't think Ottwa is very good. If we can't beat this clowns who can we beat? You deserve the no fee promise
SwampD Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 If we can't beat this clowns who can we beat? You deserve the no fee promise Yep,... that's kinda the point.
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 Is Rivet the worst player to ever worn the C for the sabres I cant think of any other more uninspiring captains
