Game #12 Recap Vs. Islanders

Hello!

That was a good game, but like their last win, it could have been better. Nice goals from Roy and Vanek, then a great effort by Gaustad t ojam that one through. Great goaltending, that is what really pulled them through, otherwise that might have not turned out so well. Good defense, powerplay is still a little lacking, I'm sure that Vanek not really doing a ton on the powerplay this season isn't helping. Connolly has been great so far, same woth MacArthur.

Bye!

Game #11 Recap at Islanders

Hello!

That was horrible. I can't believe they lost 0-5 to the Islanders of all teams. Myers made a pretty darn bad play to give away the puck, he held on to the waaaaaaaaaaaay too long.
Lalime actually had a better night than Miller, in my opinion, Miller just semmed tired. Lalime really needs to work on those five-hole shots that trickle in. Overall, that was horrible.

Game #10 Recap Vs. Maple Leafs

Hello!

That was a pretty good game, but it cuold have been better. They had some good plays and some bad ones, like what was Pomminville thinking on that drop pass, luckily we have one of the best goalies in the league.

Bye!

Game #9 Recap at Devils

Hello!

This is a bit of a late post. They looked good most of the night, but they gave up a few bad breaks, including what looked like a goal but somehow Ryan Miller defied the laws of physics to make the amazing save. That save really kept us in the game, then a couple goals later the game was in the bag. That was a really great game, especially Kennedy with his first NHL goal on Brodeur. Overall, that was a good game. I am very happy with how this team has been playing lately.

Game #9 Preview at Devils

Hello!

Sabres at Devils = uh-oh. I'm hoping that the Sabres can keep up the good work, but looking at the Devils in the past is not looking good. I hope that the Sabres beat them, I hate the Devils. It's always nice to see the Sabres win, plus there are that many more points less to go until the playoffs. So I would say that the keys of the game are: Sabres: Jump out early. Pressure hard all game long, take lots of shots, create offensive zone turnovers, and BE MEAN. Just keep it up the way you've been playing, and that should be a win. Oh, yeah and Tyler Myers, keep up the good work, make Lindy's decision easier. Devils: Jump out early, shoot, play hard defense, don't take stupid penalties. This should be a fun game, I hope we come away with a big fat W.

Bye!

Game #8 Recap at Lightning

Hello!

Good game on Saturday. Myers, game winner in the Shootout, another reason to keep him on the team. Grier has yet another goal, Miller another great game, great, great goal by Stafford to tie the game up. That is one of the few times that I have seen a pulled goalie actually work.

Bye!

Game #7 Recap at Panthers

Hello!

Everything first period was great, Miller was the main good thing the other two periods. two goals on your first three shots is awesome, they almost chased Vokoun too. Defense could be shored a little, I mean first period was great but the second two if they had Lalime in net they would have lost. Great game from the forwards, would have been nice if the Sabres could have put some more in, but I'm not complaining. Myers, you should stay, 2 goals in 7 games is amazing for a defenseman, let alone a rookie. This is the team I would like to see for the rest of the season, maybe just a little more like the first period than the rest of this game. Miller had several epic saves, especially that one on Booth, and that one that was creeping in and he managed to recover. 41 saves. Woooooooooooooooohoo! This season should be fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bye!

Game #6 Recap Vs. Thrashers

Hello!

Ouch. That is all there really is to say. Ouch. Ouchouchouch. that was a VERY VERY bad game. Why couldn't Afinogenov play like that as a Sabre? WE NEED A BETTER BACKUP. REPEAT: WE NEED A BACKUP. Not a goalie that will rip your head off but not make a decent save. A BACKUP GOALIE THAT CAN MAKE THE BIG SAVE! Ok. Enough Lalime bashing. Myers, Myers, Myers. This is not Squirts. This is the NHL. Hit Max, no goal. Don't hit Max, sit there like a hypnotised duck, and GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAL!!!!!!!!!!! What a play by Max. TRAITOR!!!!!!!!! First time I have nothing but bad things to say about Myers. Well, nice goals from Stafford and MacArthur, both good plays. I noticed 1 thing on the second (?) goal by Kovulchuk. They let him size that up for about two seconds before he scored. Dang, that was embarrassing.

Bye!

Game #5 Recap vs. Islanders

Hello!

Good game vs. the Isles, it was the Islanders but they still got 6 goals without Vanek. C-Mac had a great game with that penalty shot, it was quite the deke, then just barely managing to sneak it under. Kaleta is on a role. More goalie chasing is nice to see. Too bad about that blooper on Miller, we all make mistakes. Myers with his first goal as an NHLer, maybe he will replace Spacek. Miller had a couple huge saves, that is nice to see, even with that BAD goal. altogether, this is the team I want to see, maybe a little tighter defensively.

Bye!

Game #4 Recap vs Red Wings

Hello!

6-2 win vs. the Red Wings of Detroit is a very happy thing. Outshot in a period for the first time this season, I would love to see more of their goalie chasing ability this season, Vanek and Kaleta played great, Vanek how I know he can, Kaleta the way I never realised he could. Myers, another game to show that he belongs in the NHL, second assist in only four games. Great stop on that Filppula penalty shot by Miller, great patience there. Overall that was a great game, Sabres befuddled a Wings team from Osgood to Datsyuk, Howard to Lidstrom to Cleary we befuddled them. Great game, I would love to see more of this later in the season, hopefully deep into the playoffs.

Bye!
