Ristolainen with the save of the game right there.

[SwampD]

They've faced the backup goaltender in 8 of their 13 wins. Tonight would make it 9 of 14.

Uh, oh. Is it time to change your diaper?

kids holding their own, young legs, exciting

Zadorov is minus 8 in his last 5 games.

 

 

Uh oh...

Played for the Sabres in the late 80's and wore 33. Not the most famous Benoit today, though.

Into the early 90's. He was part of those disastrous series against Montreal in 90 and 91, if I remember that right

[sicknfla]

Just noticed Risto letting the rest of the team leave the ice before him. Not sure if he was watching the replay or if he is taking a leadership role already.

Yep. I lived those days, too. Hogue wasn't bad, but the bar was very low in those days.

[SwampD]

Zadorov always makes a great first play, but he doesn't always follow it up with a second or third play.

 

Pysyk is impressive.

 

It's the first time I've ever seen Armia play. like what I see.

Agree on all 3.

After first period I thought Detroit was caught flat footed. Took the Sabres lightly since they are dressing 5 AHLers. Now the second period is in the books, I think the young turks on the Sabres are playing good hockey and Detroit, getting a ton of shots, are rattled. Will the Sabres fade and lose like they did in Boston? I hope the youngsters keep up the strong play and win.

[dudacek]

Armia missed his last shift. Anyone see/hear why?

[bob_sauve28]

That's sad. March of '94 was last time we had a lead in Detroit going into third

[Doohicksie]

The Sabres really like to block shots. I don't remember seeing Roy or Pomminstein do too much of that. I like these Sabres better. More heart.

 

GMTM/Nolan Sabres are more motivated than Darcy/Lindy Sabres, for sure.

 

By the paddle of Enroth, by the glove of Neuvirth

 

I resemble that remark.

But not by Detroit's choice. Howard is injured.

Amazing stuff right there.

Ain't skeered. There's been a lot of turmoil on the back line. He needs to see this and learn from it.

[dudacek]

Wirh all the attention given to Corsi these days, I still like the old-fashioned chances stat.

Who cares how badly we are outshot as long as the scoring chances are close. Wasn't even sure they even still kept that stat.

[wjag]

So far so good... 20 minutes to glory

[Doohicksie]

Nice game management by Neuvirth.

[SwampD]

Remember when it used to say, in that cheesy superimposed lettering:

 

Shots - 9

Good - 3

[North Buffalo]

Like Armia's puck skills, still learning speed of game all game, but his puck skill are impressive.

[Doohicksie]

WHY is that not goalie interference???

[bunomatic]

Was busy writing chronicles

 

lol. I see what you did there.

 

On a serious note. How many scouts at this game ?

 

Oh Shite. There goes the lead.

[Doohicksie]

Even Redmond said he thought they were gonna call goalie interference on the Red Wings feed.

[North Buffalo]

Sabres look they just got tired.
