Sabre11 Official Game 6 Sabres~Canes Thread

[SabreEleven]

Changing things up and starting one and starting one early.

LET'S GO BUFFALO....

Maybe the Sabres shake things up and come out in their 3rd jersey's...

[Dr. Lecter]

The 3rd's are ugly.
Go Sabres! It will be a warm walk to the arena and the pre-game show will be steaming!

And you know S11, I still have extra cup tickets.

[SabreEleven]

If I wasn't in California, I would take you up on that offer.

I'd prefer that to say '06 Eastern Conference Champs personally. 2099 is a long time to wait to see '99 conference champs again. :rofl:

Yes I'm a smartass, I know. Here's to hoping that Ryan Miller regains his Ottawa series form and we can actually convert a PP!

F that!!! I want it to say CUP CHAMPIONS!

[The_Philster]

F that!!! I want it to say CUP CHAMPIONS!
well, obviously...but we need the Conference Title in order to get a chance at that :idunno:

[SkateZilla]

K, Feed is on for My HD,

Teppo is Dressed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


My Feed is screwing up every few minutes, dunno if its a signal or OLN Issue anyone else getting random drop outs in signal?

my Box Diagnostics say the signal is 98% (2% noise level) and Rated as Excellent on the discription.

I was on a long trip for the last 2 games, watched the last part of Game 4 and missed game 5 (saw drury's goal in a bar tv),

but im back so .. i did hear from my brother that Mair was trying to rip someones head off .. going after any Hurricane he was near.. lmao..

[The_Philster]

Teppo is Dressed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:jawdrop: :party:

[The_Philster]

SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!

JP Dumont!!! :party:

[The_Philster]

Teppo's back in the dressing room :down: :ill:

[SkateZilla]

Funny, Stall Loses an edges and McKee goes to teh box.. that was flippn funny

[SkateZilla]

Teppo's back in the dressing room :down: :ill:

Teppo is Still playing .. he did goto the dressing room, dunno why, they didnt say, but the shift when he came back he was checking hard, mair was robbed as was Poms, the setup were using (Center Behind Net( i think 2-2-1) is workign well

[The_Philster]

Way to go Ryan :clap: Nice save

[SpillerThrills]

we need to capitalize on this PP

[SkateZilla]

Another Carolina Dive,

Brind-A-smore gets a lil chop to the shin and fakes like he was Histicked... hahaha...


GRier has had 20+ SH Breakaways, he needs to score on one..

[The_Philster]

Interference on Campbell :down: That shot that PP

[chernobylwraiths]

I'm going to say it. Dive by Briere and Grier maybe should be benched for that crap. How many times is he going to pass it right into a Carolina player on an odd man rush?

[SkateZilla]

Soupy Just leveled Brin-A-Smore, I dont care if it was a penalty or not, but he needed to be leveled.

[RockStar36]

I swear that Brindamour gets the old man discount. I love that "high stick" and the way he swung his arms around like he was actually in pain. He is quickly rising on my hate-o-meter but is still far behind Laviolette.

[YardRat]

The good news...

Buffalo just played what was probably their strongest period of the post-season and they're up 1-0.

The bad news...

Buffalo just played what was probably their strongest period of the post-season and they're up 1-0.

[SkateZilla]

I'm going to say it. Dive by Briere and Grier maybe should be benched for that crap. How many times is he going to pass it right into a Carolina player on an odd man rush?

Grier isnt known to have all this deking stuff, but he can still muscle to the net and draw a penalty or something instead of just getting phased out...

Carolina is still diving like a mofo .. Stall lost an edge, get a PP, Brindamour faked a hi-stick, got a PP,

i hope lindy dont tell our boys to start diving, because the refs prolly wont call it...

[chernobylwraiths]

Another Carolina Dive,

GRier has had 20+ SH Breakaways, he needs to score on one..

I think Brindamour did get high sticked by Briere, but they don't have a good shot of it.

If Campbell waits a half second, it is not a penalty, if he waits a second, Brindamour gets a good chance. I have seen Buffalo get hit plenty of times and not get a call on that.

BTW, I just stared watching at about 5 minutes left.

[SkateZilla]

I watched hte replays and stuff in HD, Slo Mo,

Briere got him on the hip, Dumont got him on the shins, nice lil fake witht he head banging motion,

as for campbell, i dont care, Brindamour needed to be checked, the defense need to deliver a message...

impressed so far, i think we coulda got 1 or 2, as long as teh 4th line continues to setup 2-1-2 (2 Point- 1 Middle - On boards / behind net) and they continue to get the puck to the open guy in front, we'll get a few,

1st lines seems to be doing a 2-2-1 (2 point, 2 in front of net, and briere behidn hte net) which was working well as well

[PcA125]

Good first period, but we are only up 1-0.... Need to keep up the intensity and shots on goal.

[chernobylwraiths]

Grier isnt known to have all this deking stuff, but he can still muscle to the net and draw a penalty or something instead of just getting phased out...

Carolina is still diving like a mofo .. Stall lost an edge, get a PP, Brindamour faked a hi-stick, got a PP,

i hope lindy dont tell our boys to start diving, because the refs prolly wont call it...

I know he isn't for deking, but the guy is laying right there and he shoots it right into his stick. WTF!!!

If Lindy tells them to start diving, you better believe they will call it. They will call US for diving.

[chernobylwraiths]

The good news...

Buffalo just played what was probably their strongest period of the post-season and they're up 1-0.

The bad news...

Buffalo just played what was probably their strongest period of the post-season and they're up 1-0.

I didn't really see it but the second period of game three was something to behold. I doubt if it was that good.

[SkateZilla]

the hi stick coulda passed as 2 min for slashing though,

grier's stick is not like a normal forwards, he cant do some stuff (ie Saucer passover a diving player) i personaly thinnk he shoulda just shot it or put if if the back boards for possession.

[SpillerThrills]

we need to keep up this pressure on the PP and put one in the back of the net!!!!

[Stoneludlow]

Gotta make this pp count big time

[G. Host]

Campbell has been playing a very, very long time. I think he has been playing more than half the game so far. How long can he play effectively? He has been very effectiive so far.

[PUCKER]

We dont need anymore injuries,thank you.

[PUCKER]

Ok,its time OUR PP got a goal. :tap: DO IT!!!

[pyrrhonist]

Buffalo has got to put more goals on the board.

Sweet Xmas, have they had their chances, though.

[SkateZilla]

LYDMAN, TONI-16:44
CAMPBELL, BRIAN-15:34

[PcA125]

We need another insurance goal. Lets make this PP count. Great game so far...

[chernobylwraiths]

Did anyone hear that "mic'd up" with Biron? "Hey Staal, having a little trouble standing up?!" :rofl:

[SkateZilla]

Did anyone hear that "mic'd up" with Biron? "Hey Staal, having a little trouble standing up?!" :rofl:

yeah, Biron should keep doing it to, its called Intimidation, get in their head..

[chernobylwraiths]

Maybe it was staying on your feet, but you get the picture.

[pyrrhonist]

Did anyone hear that "mic'd up" with Biron? "Hey Staal, having a little trouble standing up?!" :rofl:

I don't think I've ever enjoyed anything Marty has done so damn much. :up:

[chernobylwraiths]

yeah, Biron should keep doing it to, its called Intimidation, get in their head..

I really like that guy. Too bad I can't see them paying their backup like that and paying their starter about 1/3.

[SkateZilla]

we need to go all out in the 3rd.

[chernobylwraiths]

Carolina looked like it started going all out. Maybe we can get a break with them pinching. I just hope it isn't Grier on the breakaway.

[SpillerThrills]

Carolina looked like it started going all out. Maybe we can get a break with them pinching. I just hope it isn't Grier on the breakaway.

well if it is Grier, then we know there will be a shot on goal... but another save to help pad Wards stats

[chernobylwraiths]

It is unbelievable that every time the puck goes around the boards a Carolina player is there in our defensive zone.

[G. Host]

It is unbelievable that every time the puck goes around the boards a Carolina player is there in our defensive zone.
It sounds like sound play by Carolina. Too much to be an accident,

[pyrrhonist]

I was secretly hoping Wesley would miss the remainder of the 3rd. :mad: :D

[SpillerThrills]

I was secretly hoping Wesley would miss the remainder of the 3rd. :mad: :D

I think most of us were!

[pyrrhonist]

A pretty torrid pace here in the 3rd. As per the usual, both Ward & Miller are playing great.

[SpillerThrills]

would you expect any less???

[pyrrhonist]

No, I wouldn't. This series here is probably the best of the rest. You're not going to get this type of excitement once the trap of the Oilers comes up against either team (Sadly).

[PUCKER]

Come on...we need an insurance goal! :pray:

[SpillerThrills]

that one hurt....:(

[chernobylwraiths]

That was knocked down with a high stick!

[pyrrhonist]

Typical Buffalo game:

Outplay the opponent, but have no goals to show for it. :down:

[chernobylwraiths]

This is unbelievable!

[SpillerThrills]

Typical Buffalo game:

Outplay the opponent, but have no goals to show for it. :down:

don't forget about sitting back and just trying to play D hoping to hold on for a win........

[pyrrhonist]

I don't suppose the f-word is allowed to be posted?

Damn, was that goal deflating. :cry:

[SkateZilla]

Going to OT<

ENOUGH OF THIS SIT BACK AND PLAY DEFENSE with only 4 DEFENSEMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pyrrhonist]

How the mighty have fallen. Buffalo finished regulation limping, and badly. :down:

[SkateZilla]

That was knocked down with a high stick!

indeed it was...

[PUCKER]

F**K!!! :mad:

[pyrrhonist]

F**K!!! :mad:

That pretty much sums it up for me, too.

[PUCKER]

Ok,that was their worst period! :mad:

[chernobylwraiths]

I think Stillman knew it too because he didn't want to touch it at first. Thing is, it looked as if Fitzpatrick didn't even go after the puck. I have seen this several times now. The Sabres look to play for position instead of going after the puck.

[PcA125]

Ok.... Lets rally in OT and get some momentum going into game 7....

LETS GO BUFFALO

[PUCKER]

Now lets play our best period and end this damn thing! :hockey:

[RockStar36]

They need to come out w/ the same intensity as the first period or they are going golfing tomorrow. Wake up!!

[pyrrhonist]

No excuses now. It's a clich&#232;, but it is put up or shut up time.

[RockStar36]

They really need to win this. I don't want to shave for work tomorrow. Keep the playoff beard going!

[JD]

COME ON SABRES TAKE IT TO THEM GOD DAMN IT!!!!!!!!

LETS GO BUFFALO! THIS IS DO OR ****ING DIE RIGHT THE **** NOW. ANYTHING LESS THAN THE CUP IS FAILURE NO MATTER ****ING WHAT.

NO EXCUSES GOD DAMN IT. WE HAD IT! WE HAD IT!!! DONT ****ING BLOW IT NOW *******S.

[RockStar36]

It comes down to whether or not they want it bad enough. If they do, they will win this. If they don't, they lose. Period.

[PUCKER]

PLEASE DO NOT LET IT END LIKE THIS!!! :pray:

[pyrrhonist]

Is J.P. signing autographs in the hallway there? Come on, Dumont---Focus!! :D

[PUCKER]

:pray:

[pyrrhonist]

I can't believe the refs had the balls to call that! :rolleyes:

[PUCKER]

Yeah,but can we make the PP count now? Please?

[Mr. Pink]

POWERPLAY! come on!

[RockStar36]

Balls to call that? That was a blatant penalty.

[pyrrhonist]

Balls to call that? That was a blatant penalty.

You have seen the rest of the series, right? ;)

[PUCKER]

No excuses why we cant score here! :mad:

[Mr. Pink]

SCORE!

[SkateZilla]

AND WE'll PLAY 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hammerbillsfan]

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y271/Nuttyncrazy/av-910.gifGOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The_Philster]

Series is tied!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :up:

[SpillerThrills]

GGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!


GAME 7 HERE WE COME!!!!!!!!

PP GOAL BRIERE WITH THE GOAL!!!!!

[RockStar36]

You have seen the rest of the series, right? :)

Oooooh...I gotcha. I'm a little out of it tonight.


GGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Game 7.

I don't think I'll ever be more of a wreck than Thursday night.

[PUCKER]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SkateZilla]

Some Notes,

Maybe Ruff is Resting Teppo for Game 7,

Lydman and Campbell played 25+ Minutes

LYDMAN, TONI, 27:41
FITZPATRICK, RORY, 25:17
CAMPBELL, BRIAN, 26:58
MCKEE, JAY, 26:19

[pyrrhonist]

Time to drink it up---It's only 7:30!! :up:

What was idiot Davidson talking about, a review? It was obvious it crossed the line, even before seeing the replay. And a penalty? If there was a call on Buffalo, wouldn't it have stopped play the moment Roy got the puck back? :rolleyes:

What a win, and my heart is racing. I didn't want it to end, not tonight, not with the sad play Buffalo came out with in the 3rd.

Onward to Raleigh, and a Game 7. This series is everything the fans & the NHL have wanted.

[PUCKER]

I can imagine Ricks call,"DO YOU BELIEVE?"

[PcA125]

There we go boys!!!!! Game 7 baby :dance:

[PUCKER]

Anybody have a soundbite yet?

[PUCKER]

This is great! :D

[pyrrhonist]

There was going to be a soundbyte of me smashing something in my house if Buffalo had lost the game. I just couldn't bear the idea of losing a game where the Sabres outplayed Carolina again, all except for a half a period or so. They cannot expect to win another game with poor play like that.

[hammerbillsfan]

Drink up guys and gals! :beers:
You can breath again for now.

[SkateZilla]

All I Know is I think its Astounding that we Rotated 4 Defensemen Almost All Nite, and Still had Legs in OT

[PUCKER]

Do you believe? :up:

[PcA125]

anything new on Teppo?

[chernobylwraiths]

Oooooh...I gotcha. I'm a little out of it tonight.


GGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Game 7.

I don't think I'll ever be more of a wreck than Thursday night.

Game seven in the finals?

[chernobylwraiths]

I'm glad Teppo was on the bench the whole night though. I think it is disheartening to see an empty space where he should be.

I'm hoping beyond hope that he just tweaked it and not reagrivated it.

[SpillerThrills]

I think Teppo helped out the team just by being there on the bench.... his leadership and presance on the bench helps out tremendously.

[G. Host]

What was idiot Davidson talking about, a review? It was obvious it crossed the line, even before seeing the replay. And a penalty? If there was a call on Buffalo, wouldn't it have stopped play the moment Roy got the puck back? :rolleyes:
During heat of game between possible infraction and score the referees may not have called the penalty yet and Carolina "froze" expecting it to be called but Sabres continued playing and it turns out they were right even after booth looked at it. :up:

The announcers are much, much better than the majority of those in football and should not be insulted. They have a far faster game to call with even more difficult names to pronounce. Great work by them.

[chernobylwraiths]

NHL reviews all goals. I'm sure you know that and it was covered in previous threads. They reviewed Dumont's goal against Ottawa too.

[pyrrhonist]

I know guys---But thanks for caring. ;)

I just get a kick out of Davidson, and these national guys.

And chernobyl, you're wrong about ALL goals---What happened in '99? :D :D

[SkateZilla]

NHL made it a Rule to review all GWG OT goals in Postseason after we got burned by the Goal thru the net :)

[chernobylwraiths]

I know guys---But thanks for caring. ;)

I just get a kick out of Davidson, and these national guys.

And chernobyl, you're wrong about ALL goals---What happened in '99? :D :D

LOL

Yeah, as Lindy pointed out at the time, all goals SINCE that one. :;

I miss Rick J.

[G. Host]

NHL made it a Rule to review all GWG OT goals in Postseason after we got burned by the Goal thru the net :)
Just as they reviewed unconscious player retaining control of football rule.

They seem to do that a lot on Buffalo losses which are usually followed by apology letters :down:

[Philagape]

I can imagine Ricks call,"DO YOU BELIEVE?"

"There's room on the believers' bandwagon, and it's heading for Game 7 in Carolina!"

[PUCKER]

"There's room on the believers' bandwagon, and it's heading for Game 7 in Carolina!"

HAHAHA!!!! Anyone got a soundbite yet?

[Dr. Lecter]

Wow. Wow.

Ask Meathead how loud the Arena was. I called him on my way out so he could hear the crowd. Unbeleivable. Nuts. Insane. I am hoarse. The place was crazy.

I thought this poor kid sitting next to me (Probably ~14) was going crazy between the 3rd and OT. He ain't gonna live as a Buffalo Sports fan for long with how nervous he was.

[Philagape]

"There's room on the believers' bandwagon, and it's heading for Game 7 in Carolina!"

:bandwagon:

[PUCKER]

:grouphug:

[Dr. Lecter]

One last note: the best player on the ice last night was Mike Greir.

[mchurchfie]

He was definitely a physical presence.:up:

[SabreEleven]

Mair, Guastad and Pyatt threw their weight around.
