Final Score

 

I have been sick as a dog all day and cannot even bring myself to write a full scale open thread.  I do plan on watching the game and I'll even be in the open thread.

 

Some things you may not know but should

  • Maybe I'm just an idiot but I thought Chris Butler has been outstanding on the blue line but for some reason he will be in the Press Box while Teppo Numminen will be back on the ice.
  • Tim Connolly will no longer be playing on the fourth line.  Personally I don't think he should have ever been playing on the fourth line.
  • Patrick Lalime will be making his first start since December 26 against the Washington Capitals.
  • The Sabres have won four of their last five games.
  • Don't forget your SPG Picks.

First Period

Not exactly the first period that I was hoping for…a couple of bad bounces

missed most the first period

was watching syracuse basketball…………get whooped by georgetown. that’s definitely gonna hurt.

hopefully the second will go better than the first. from what i saw they looked pretty bad (of course when i tuned in was right in time for both goals against…..go figure). we need to step it up.

man

can’t keep letting them clear it over and over again on a power play.

by BenAllen on Jan 14, 2009 9:48 PM EST reply actions  

Yeah ridiculous

Despite trailing 2-1 after one I thought they were playing well. This period they are getting outworked.

What is going on?

I haven’t seen a Lindy Ruff team look this poorly over 3 games in a long time, maybe ever.

I built the Eiffel Tower out of steel and brawn. You have a small brain. It's science.
