I think the paddle save in the third was the only "quality look" that I saw this game from Philly. Did I miss any?

A win is a win. Can't turn that down. As somebody else mentioned before though, I was not a big fan of the line combinations.

 

I couldn't understand Vanek with Gaustad and Kaleta. Niether one of them is going to be able to play to Vanek's skills

Labialips doesn't think the elbow showed any intent. Surprise, surprise.

Neither did Paul Hamilton, he said so during the intermission. Thought it was worth two minutes at best.

There were some absolutely huge rebounds off Boucher tonight and I don't recall seeing a Sabre get to a single one of them.

 

True, but that's part of my point. If you consistently cough up the puck in high volume scoring areas, you're going to get burned.

that was sarcastic right?

 

 

There was a post in the first, but no gaping, wide-open nets for the Flyers to shoot at.

Sometimes it is by design. Kick the puck to an area where your guys can get first.

I hated that line as soon as I saw it out there. Hope we don't stick with that for Game 5, and we shouldn't because this game left a lot of room for improvement offensively.

 

I'm really hoping Roy can come back on Friday.

there were about 3-4 point blank saves and of course the save on Briere... so i guess if you are only counting empty nets than ya only 1.

14 left, remember that folks, 14

 

French Connection...... 14.....7......11...

 

Why do I mention this? As Sabres fans we're superstitious. So obviously 14 will bring good luck.

That's a fair point in general, but are you saying that, watching Boucher tonight, you were thinking he was putting the puck in those spots because he knew/thought each time his guys would get there first? I was thinking that he's just worrying about making the initial save and isn't concerned about where the rebounds are going.

Neither can Connolly. :)

if someone can post ryan millers post game interview because it was awesome!

Ryan Miller postgame:

"I'm not going to pay too much attention to anybody who's talking about my game right now, I really don't care

It's the furthest thing from my mind (except I'm going to talk about it with rage-eyes)

I want to contribute and help the guys

I have to do certain things, I have to talk on the ice, I have to help them with the puck in the zone

I don't need to listen to all the B.S. that's out there from people who don't know how to play goalie

I really don't give a EXPLETIVE (so suck it)"

 

Edit: Miller didn't really say what's in parentheses

I'm just surprised that there hasn't been any love for Weber. He played an amazing game and was in the middle of every physical altercation. He got the better of every one and I think was a big factor in tonights win.

The two Myers and Butler stopped where certain goals.

 

Must have happened near the end of the first - I had to step away from the TV.

In some cases that maybe correct, I don't think in all. The Flyers know what they get in Boucher and I think his style of goaltending helps their transition game. Is he in control of every rebound, of course not, if he could do that he would be a wealthier man. I do think that on some of the bigger rebounds that happened to go right to a Flyers player that those where intentional.

Some of us were loving up Weber earlier in the thread.
