[hydro]

Looked like a penalty worth 4 mins in the box to me.

[OpIv37]

great- a must-win and we give up the first goal- from what I can hear, it sounds like it was kind of a soft one too.

I've always hated Jagr.

Kotalik must have gotten into Roger Clemens' medicine cabinet- he's kicking ass lately.

1-1 Kotalek

[LABillsFan]

What was that??

[hydro]

Softie right there.

[LABillsFan]

I hope Kaleta comes back, he needs to lay some body checks

[OpIv37]

what the hell?

2 soft goals in the first 4 shots and 3 giveaways on the PP in a game that's crucial for playoff positioning.

[im4bflo]

skrewed up their own PP

[OpIv37]

gragnani fails to clear then takes a hooking penalty-apparently he's already learned a lot from the way the rest of the Sabres' D has played this year.

Oh well, at least they killed the penalty.

[Ebenezer]

If Gragnani is trade bait he won't fetch much...if he is one the essential cogs of the future he needs more seasoning.

[OpIv37]

sounds like they're getting some pressure finally.

[hydro]

Avery is such a douchebag.

[OpIv37]

if it's possible for one goal to keep us out of the playoffs, that was it right there.

****ing Avery. I hate that ass.

[LABillsFan]

Oh, Man... How many turn overs!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mitchy moo]

Last second goal for the panthers, Philly is miffed. 1-1 and heading to OT.

[OpIv37]

6 on 4 and they do nothing- what a waste

[LABillsFan]

PP

[Mitchy moo]

Crap.

[LABillsFan]

Rats

[OpIv37]

this team goes on hot streaks and cold streaks but always seems to lose the games that count the most.

[LABillsFan]

Lets take a realistic look at the team, they can beat TB and TO, but not The Rangers or the Pens. This goes back to that SO game against Boston. They are just a hair behind those teams. They are going to need a lot of help down the stretch.

[Mitchy moo]

The panthers have a PP against the Flyers.

[Mitchy moo]

Bring in Inigla, lol.

[Mitchy moo]

Panthers win in Philly, 2-1 Final in OT. At least we get to play a team monday that's been playing terrible lately. That also put us in 8th place instead of 9th, Just a FYI.

[Nighthawk]

Lets take a realistic look at the team, they can beat TB and TO, but not The Rangers or the Pens. This goes back to that SO game against Boston. They are just a hair behind those teams. They are going to need a lot of help down the stretch.

My thoughts exactly. It's a very disturbing trend and I think it gives you a pretty good idea of how this team would fair in the playoffs. That being said, it does show me one thing...TRADE CAMPBELL! This team is not good enough with him, but could get a nice package for him in return.

[im4bflo]

we really blew a game we could and should of won.
Trade Campbell, and reload. We're not where we should be
for a playoff team right now. We're close, but we need help.
And the turnovers were ugly!!!

We're not going to win the cup this year so why not re****ingbuild??

5 of those 7 goals were scored in our end...wouldve been more exciting if they were more Sabre goals,though. :sigh:
