hi Florida

I’m expecting a small game thread… fantastic weather for this time of year. Row 3 sounds like it’s close enough to be good seats.

“den of honor” celebration.. yawn.

Have to listen to Florida broadcast but it’s in HD. Can’t complain too much I guess

The one bad thing about Spring Break is no MSG

Looking forward to finally getting a video feed again. Go Sabres!

by kitaman27 on Mar 20, 2010 7:05 PM EDT reply actions  

Ottawa already lost this afternoon.

So did the Pens but they managed to get a point.

by dfderie on Mar 20, 2010 7:06 PM EDT reply actions  

Seeing the sens lose is almost as good as a sabres win

by DisplacedBillsFan on Mar 20, 2010 7:10 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

Pommers

Very impressed with his play yet again

by DisplacedBillsFan on Mar 20, 2010 7:19 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

Great play stafford

Thank you Dvorak for missing that wide.

Miller used the force to make it go wide. Obviously.

by DisplacedBillsFan on Mar 20, 2010 7:41 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

I’d assume its the same thing when you have a shooting lane covered and defensemen shoot it wide.

Overall good period.

It doesn’t make the stat sheet, but Roy and Greer played hard that period.

by dfderie on Mar 20, 2010 7:40 PM EDT reply actions  

Sabres do need to keep this going though, need a win to pull ahead tonight

At least that makes an easier road for Syracuse _

I think my bracket would win if the goal was to have the most incorrect picks. Unbillievable.

by DisplacedBillsFan on Mar 20, 2010 8:08 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

Wow. Didn’t realize we had that many shots on goal inthe first

by DisplacedBillsFan on Mar 20, 2010 7:57 PM EDT via mobile reply actions

Maybe they are still ticked off at him for the fluke goal against Phoenix

Good for kaleta. Hitting the double digits

Hey guys

Just got home and skimmed through the thread, it looks like we’re doing pretty good thus far.

by Guido1983 on Mar 20, 2010 8:09 PM EDT reply actions  

Oops.

Defense forgot to cover those other guys plaing in front of the crease.

by dfderie on Mar 20, 2010 8:18 PM EDT reply actions  

Miller just kept us ahead.

The first save was pretty good. But that last one the puck was bouncing into the crease.

by dfderie on Mar 20, 2010 8:24 PM EDT reply actions  

whats up everyone

they’ve looked good so far from what i’ve seen.

by Rafal Ladysz on Mar 20, 2010 9:03 PM EDT reply actions  

Love the identical comment each goal.

by DisplacedBillsFan on Mar 20, 2010 9:18 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

Not sure why, but I started that last game. Seemed to spark the offense. (Like I really believe it matters!) Anyways, I might as well keep a good thing going. LOL

by dfderie on Mar 20, 2010 9:24 PM EDT up reply actions  

Well you can’t stop now. Any loss where you are not commenting is getting directly blamed on you!!!!

by DisplacedBillsFan on Mar 20, 2010 9:28 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

Goal!

Nice job with the no whistle.

by kitaman27 on Mar 20, 2010 9:17 PM EDT reply actions  

I think it’s a direct relationship to the goaltender. Miller gets the whitsle there

by DisplacedBillsFan on Mar 20, 2010 9:19 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

So if you hook a player on a break and normally you'd have a penalty shot...

but the net is empty…

does that mean Hecht should have had a penalty shot at an empty net?

by dfderie on Mar 20, 2010 9:31 PM EDT reply actions  

Harry Neale called it "workmanlike".

I was thinking “grind it out”.

Either way, pretty solid win. With home games coming up next week against Montreal and Ottawa….

by dfderie on Mar 20, 2010 9:34 PM EDT reply actions  

Don't look past the Whalercanes

They have been very hot since the break. Take away their utterly dreadful October and this is a playoff team.
