Sabres vs. Senators Game Thread

[Philagape]

Two hours to game time and no thread yet? I'll create my first one ever.

[BillsSabresB.C.T. Fan]

Do we see Mair, Peters, Kaleta line right off the bat tonight to set the tone early:question:

[mchurchfie]

Kaleta has The Rat's old jersey number #36.:box:

[mchurchfie]

Showcasing Biron tonight.

[RockStar36]

And naturally I started Miller over Biron on my fantasy team. Damnit!

[RockStar36]

And the trade value starts dropping...

[Nighthawk]

This team looks like crap tonight. I don't know if it is the fact that they aren't skating or the fact that they just aren't as good of a team as Ottawa. I wouldn't want to meet Ottawa in the playoffs...healthy or not healthy.

[mchurchfie]

The Sabres have yet to play a full three periods this year.

[Nighthawk]

The Sabres have yet to play a full three periods this year.

More reason why they could use a kick in the arse and trade for some veteran leadership for the cup run. Not making a move would be a HUGE mistake.

[Philagape]

Great shot of Darcy eating a popsicle! Keep up the good work!

[RockStar36]

As long as they get a decent backup for Miller I think they need to move Biron. I like Marty and all but I'd rather see this team win a cup. And depth at goal will come in handy if there is an injury, but the odds of an injury of a d-man or forward are far greater than at goalie.

[RockStar36]

GOAL!!

[Philagape]

We're tied! Vanek deflects Pominville shot

[Philagape]

3-2!!!! Vanek strikes again!!!!!

[RockStar36]

Wow. I love how they just blow up like that.

[Philagape]

Oh man Drury's cut bad

[RockStar36]

I can only listen on radio but Ray just said he should be ok. Hopefully he is.

[Philagape]

Looks like Neil got the elbow up at the end :mad:

[Philagape]

I can only listen on radio but Ray just said he should be ok. Hopefully he is.

Yeah looks like he just needs to be sewn up. He skated off

[Philagape]

PETERS AND EMERY!!!!! :rofl:

[RockStar36]

Holy ****

[Philagape]

LINDY JUMPS THE BARRIER!!! OLD TIME HOCKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Philagape]

Lindy and Murray screaming at each other with only Rob Ray between them!!!!! Brawl of the year!!!!!!!

[SpillerThrills]

LINDY JUMPS THE WALL!!! OLD TIME HOCKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!


"Go after Peters don't go after our ****ing captain!" Lindy to the Ott. coach.


Emery Vs. Biron was great... then Peters comes in to go after Emery!!!

[Typ0]

that was pretty amazing.

[Philagape]

Mair went after Spezza like an animal

[Philagape]

Biron and Emery were having a great time too, they were laughing

[Philagape]

Oh man I hope my Tivo got this. Greatest brawl in years

[RockStar36]

Hmmm....looks like Drury has some respect in that locker room afterall.

[RockStar36]

DAMN YOU COMCAST!!!! It blacked me out online and I'm stuck with the radio.

[SabreEleven]

DON'T **** WITH THE BUFFALO SABRES!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Philagape]

Goalies ejected

[SpillerThrills]

holy **** both goalies tossed!!!!

[Philagape]

Hmmm....looks like Drury has some respect in that locker room afterall.

Who said he didn't?

[SpillerThrills]

DON'T **** WITH THE BUFFALO SABRES!!!!!!!!!!!!


Lindy was sending a message to the other teams in the league that think they can just come in and throw us around! we're not laying down for anyone!!!!!!


I really like the attitude of this Kaletta kid!

[SabreEleven]

Did you see Ray's face when they showed Ruff and Murray going at it? Priceless.

[RockStar36]

I'd have to look for the thread but there was a discussion about it recently. I need to see this thing, ASAP.

[Dr. Lecter]

Did you see Ray's face when they showed Ruff and Murray going at it? Priceless.

I was dying! That might have been the best part of the whole incident.

[Philagape]

Of course they all respect each other, and they'd retaliate for any one of them. They attacked O*****kin like lions after the Briere cheap shot.

[YardRat]

I can only repeat was RS said....Holy ****!

If Miller gets hurt, I'm going to be really pissed.

Alfreddson? He's a dead man.

Heatley? Dead. Spezza? Dead. Neil? Dead.

IT WAS AWESOME!

[RockStar36]

To that extent?

It's an honest question since I had to listen to the damn thing.

[Dr. Lecter]

It was interesting, that much is for sure.

[Dr. Lecter]

BTW, anybody really think Marty wants out still?

[RockStar36]

Did anyone say he wanted out? I know he likes Buffalo but I assumed if anything that he just wants the chance to start. I can't imagine him being to dissapointed making that salary sitting on the bench.

[BillsSabresB.C.T. Fan]

(Steve) Shields vs. (Garth) Snow all over again!

[Dr. Lecter]

Did anyone say he wanted out? I know he likes Buffalo but I assumed if anything that he just wants the chance to start. I can't imagine him being to dissapointed making that salary sitting on the bench.
Yeah, I have heard that.

You know, he has a white helmet. That is proof he wants out.

[SpillerThrills]

BTW, anybody really think Marty wants out still?


I think that marty wants to be a starter, I believe that he's been quoted as saying that he's happy to be in buffalo where he was drafted.

[RockStar36]

Yeah, I have heard that.

You know, he has a white helmet. That is proof he wants out.


Ah, right, the white mask. What was I thinking?

[camelcowboy]

Holy crap that was great! Never mind we don't need a trade we are tough enought. Kicked their arse!!!!!!!

[RockStar36]

Ugh. That pisses me off.

Side note: I want to see this thing from start to finish. Like starting with the Drury hit and all. Anyone going to be able to that? I know highlights on ESPN or TSN will cut it up.

[SpillerThrills]

You know, he has a white helmet. That is proof he wants out.


:headscrat yeap a white helmet means he wants out.............. even after he had one painted....

[Dr. Lecter]

:headscrat yeap a white helmet means he wants out.............. even after he had one painted....

I just repeat what I am told.


Can't help it I sometimes talk to morons.

[camelcowboy]

you-tube stat

[camelcowboy]

Roy just needs to shut up and not cost us a powerplay

[Philagape]

MSG sometimes replays games the next afternoon

[THATHURMANATOR]

Clarke Mcarthur baby!!!

**** YOU NEIL YOU ****ING SCUMBAG!!!

[Philagape]

McArthur!!! First NHL goal!!

[Dr. Lecter]

McCarthur!

[SkateZilla]

Kaleta Starts a Brawl In his First NHL Game, LOL,

[camelcowboy]

Screw you ottawa theres no way in hell we lose this game you pieces of ****

[THATHURMANATOR]

Even my boy in Pittsburgh just called me to see what was going on in the game.

[Philagape]

FYI, the tally on the brawl: 63 minutes for Sabres, 52 for Sens

[THATHURMANATOR]

I am so happy Ruff did what he did after the Drury hit. We cant stand for this cheap shot **** anymore. Kudos to Stafford, Kaleta, Mair, Peters and Marty B...

[BlackMetalNinja]

That was quite spectacular... The crowd has been absolutely amped up since that fight too. I'm proud of our boys for doing what was completely necessary. You can't go after our top guns like that, especially when we're missing a large chunk of our roster already.

I'm hoping Drury's alright, they haven't mentioned anymore on him. Looked like he probalby just needed some stitches though.

[Dr. Lecter]

They hope to have an update after the commercial....

[SkateZilla]

The Refs Handed them a PowerPlay for Hitting Drury Late,

It wasnt an Elbow, it was a shoulder and the visor cut drury.

[SpillerThrills]

"head injury" for Drury, will not return tonight......

[Nighthawk]

Proud of the team, yes...but, this team needs more size, grit and leadership for the playoffs. More teams are taking liberties on the Sabres star players with no fear of repurcussions...that NEEDS to change. Get a Guerin type in here and let him play along Drury...and that won't happen. Guerin is not a fighter, but he will mix it up and has good size. GET IT DONE, DARCY!

[THATHURMANATOR]

Mesi just beat that guys ass in like a minute

[THATHURMANATOR]

Great points!

[Philagape]

Kalinin 5-3!!!!

[Typ0]

Sabres are making a big time statement tonight.

[THATHURMANATOR]

Beautiful Kalinin.

[Dr. Lecter]

Kalinin!

[camelcowboy]

KALININ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

[SpillerThrills]

Kalinin follows up on his own rebound and makes it 5-3!!!!:dance:

[THATHURMANATOR]

****ING GOD DAMMIT

[YardRat]

DAMMITT!!!! I'm getting pissed :mad:

[camelcowboy]

Who's left to call up when drury can't go

[SpillerThrills]

why does Miller have such a hard time against Ottowa this year?????

[Mitchy moo]

Sabres PP with 3 Minutes left!!

[redeye5]

Kaleta Starts a Brawl In his First NHL Game, LOL,

http://www.nhl.com/scores/htmlreports/20062007/GS020908.HTML

I bet his parents were so proud

[redeye5]

will pay 15bucks for a DVD of this game....

[YardRat]

LET'S GO BUFF-A-LO !!!

[MikeInRoch]

I always breath a sigh of relief when they make it to overtime. It's at least 1 point - which could be important given the number of injuries we keep getting.

[Dr. Lecter]

How do they call penalties so inconsitently?

[MikeInRoch]

Wow, we took a screwing from the refs in OT.

[redeye5]

http://beercansrus.com/mcart/images/itsmillertimetn.jpg

[Philagape]

And the Classic comes down to a shootout

[SpillerThrills]

How do they call penalties so inconsitently?


the penalty on Briere was questionable at best

[MikeInRoch]

Especially considering the trip that wasn't called on the other end of the ice.

[Philagape]

DRRREEEEEEWWWWWWWW scores

[Philagape]

:hail: MILLLLEEERRRRRRRRR

[SpillerThrills]

DDDRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!

BUFFALO WINS IT IN THE SHOOTOUT!!!!!!!!

STAFFORD WITH THE GOAL!!

MILLER THE BRICK WALL IN NET FOR THE SHOOTOUT!!!!:dance: :dance: :dance:

[THATHURMANATOR]

Stafford is going to be a player!

[pjw]

cant wait for saturdays game

[OpIv37]

wow, I missed a hell of a game- I did catch the OT and the shootout, and managed to hear 4 of Ottawa's goals in the snipets of the game I caught on the radio while driving around :fit:

Someone's gonna have to get video of that brawl.

[YardRat]

I hope we kick their ass on Saturday just for good measure. Bastards.

[SkateZilla]

PAGING TORONTO : THE OFFICIALS FUC-KING SUCK!!!

[RockStar36]

Nice to get a win. It's to bad those ****ers had to even get one point though.

[THATHURMANATOR]

Best brawl in years Op.

[OpIv37]

Best brawl in years Op.
well let's just say I had a damn good reason for missing it. I don't feel like getting into it now but if I'm feeling up to it I may post about it in the TZ tomorrow.

[RockStar36]

I was listening on the radio while talking to this girl and completely lost my train of thought while I listened to the fight. I couldn't believe I missed it. Stupid Comcast blacked out my internet feed. I need to see this whole thing from start to finish.

[RockStar36]

Right as I was thinking my hatred had gone away because the Flyers blow...here come the Sens.

[BillsSabresB.C.T. Fan]

Best brawl in years Op.

It was just like the Sheilds vs. Snow fight all over again

"now we got everyone grapling, Snow is hanging onto the crossbar and here comes Shields, Sheilds says "oh no you don't I want a little piece of this action and Sheilds wants Snow, we got everyone grapling and Sheilds wants a peice of Garth Snow but the linesman get them apart ~ Rick Jeanneret

Two hours to game time and no thread yet? I'll create my first one ever.

I guess I picked the right night :D

[camelcowboy]

I guess I picked the right night :D

You get saturdays as well :up: You can create one now if you like this is a game that would merit it.
