Lehner and Risto both got burned badly by that fake. I didn't see who it was that passed it, but that was a nice play.

[SwampD]

Risto,... WTF was that?

[woods-racer]

McCabe got caught flat footed

[Mustache of God]

He really over committed to thinking Laine was shooting. It was a terrible pass and there was enough to for hime to get over.

That reach and useless poke by Zemgus was unacceptable. That should be cleared down the ice every time.

[GoPre]

Winnipeg has 5 shots on goal. Sabres have 0. What a way to start.

Lehner needs to make that save to give his team confidence so that don't need to be perfect to have a chance to win.

 

Franson was fleet of foot there.

The Key sounds like a library, all I can hear is the players

[Sabres Fan in NS]

EHLERS!!

Angry NS, reporting for duty.

Its a big vault.

[qwksndmonster]

Boring stuff. Par for the course.

[Claude Balls]

I don't get it, the Sabres look like a totally different team when Nilsson is in net. Do they hate Lehner or something?

[Tondas]

Risto had a head of steam going and dumped it in.  I'd like to see him try to create something, even if individually.

Its an afternoon game, none of us are drinking .

[Ducky]

Ehlers Scheif and Laine have around 110 points combined.

That was a bad call on the icing. He had the line.

Not none of us :flirt:

???? Cheers!

[bob_sauve28]

Fedun tripped over the blue line

[Ducky]

Nice save on Little

[bunomatic]

sure would be nice to see some action down at the other end Dan

[Claude Balls]

Sloppy Sabres

[woods-racer]

They have no transition game out of their own zone except a stretch pass, and if it's not there they are bad.

It almost always does, and has for years.

 

I used to think it was because the team sucked but I noticed people can't even muster the energy to make noise when they're announcing the starting line-up (with players that we generally like).  Like, we can't even get excited for the start of games anymore?

 

I think Buffalo just treats its sports WAY too seriously -- both because the city is downtrodden and because all the losing amplifies things.  The atmosphere at a Stars game in Dallas is incredible by comparison; not because people there love hockey more, but because they're just there to have a fun night.  It's not life or death if the team wins.

[Tondas]

The Sabres need to play pissed off.  They seem so passive.
