- The Sabres lost the last meeting in Carolina 2-1 with Patrick Lalime in goal.
- Nathan Paetsch will be in the lineup as a forward tonight because Max Afinogenov is sick. {Buffalo News}

Still bad passes
but I love the urgency on defense

Not as important
the Panthers are losing 1-0 to Atlanta. That game means nothing if the Rangers win
D.O.
www.diebytheblade.com - An SB nation destination for Sabres fans everywhere
correct
not even a point
D.O.

or Brierre
[ducks and finds the nearest corner to hide]
Not a Bad period
giving up too many chances but overall they played okay. They definitely played like a desperate team.
D.O.

Absolutely
Good to see the desperation carry over from yesterday’s third.
Also good to see Pommer hit on a shot that normally this season he fires over the net.

It’s making me physically ill to root for them………and now they’re screwing it up anyway. Bastards.

Yeah, its really a hopeless case at this point

Nah
Still plenty of time for the Rangers to gack it up. I have faith in them. LOL

that was the type of play the Sabres usually make
D.O.

Wow, this team is just rooting the puck out.

That was the Harry Neale quote
3-11 against Atlanta, Ottawa, NYI.
The underachievers are finally starting to come around? 80 games too late?

If Paille played like that every night, he’d never see the press box again.

Paille has played well when given the chance. He just hasn’t been given much of a chance.
D.O.

He’s had a lot of night’s where the aggression and determination just hasn’t been there.

I told you it wasn’t over yet.

This game is annoying, because if they played like this two weeks ago we wouldnt be in this situation
by Zachary Zielonka on Apr 9, 2009 8:44 PM EDT reply actions
They did play like this two weeks ago
D.O.

The problem was having Lalime in goal
D.O.
www.diebytheblade.com - An SB nation destination for Sabres fans everywhere
Lalime played some good games in goal and they just couldn’t seem to find the back of the net
by Zachary Zielonka on Apr 9, 2009 8:49 PM EDT up reply actions
go back and watch the games though…they completely changed their style of play in those games. They never allowed a rebound because all five skaters were converging on the net for defense. They had no transition to set up the offense.
D.O.

yeah…its amazing…you can see the urgency…but you couldn’t two weeks ago…even though the situation was the same really
They had seven guys
okay..they called it

Flyers are pouring it on in the third. Just can’t beat Lundqvist so far.

Gagne
how did Gagne not score on that?
D.O.
www.diebytheblade.com - An SB nation destination for Sabres fans everywhere
It's OK......we can still lend 2 goals to the Flyers. :)

Briere just hit the crossbar
D.O.
www.diebytheblade.com - An SB nation destination for Sabres fans everywhere
Yeah
they needed to win some of those games against the Islanders and the Thrashers
D.O.
www.diebytheblade.com - An SB nation destination for Sabres fans everywhere
oh well
there is always next year…anyone else tired of saying that?
D.O.
www.diebytheblade.com - An SB nation destination for Sabres fans everywhere
Very tired.
Especially since it was well within their hands. As has been detailed ad nauseum, the record against the lesser team was completely unacceptable.
