Sabres vs Blue Jackets

[Makaveli]

Tonight the Buffalo Sabres will meet with the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Sabres have one more pre-season game after this game against Ottawa the following night. These last games may just be Noronen's and Miller's last chance to impress as one will have to go! (to Rochester that is :teeth:) Make your predictions...

Columbus 3
Buffalo 1

every other game I guessed the Sabres would win and they never so I'll try some reverse predicting :boozer:

[SkateZilla]

hey man
ou broke the unwritten rule,
IM supposed to start eh Game threads :)

I Predictt 7-1 sabres,

2 From Satan (maybe 3)
2 From Drury
1 From Kotalik
2 From Delmore

lemme Tell you,
the I Played NHl2k2 with Aquired Drury, and i Just couldnt stop scoring, I played toronto and the score was 10-2 Sabres :)

So I figured it was the way i was playing (even though it was on the hardest settings) so I Simed a Few Games, and they ended up 7-1 Win, 8-2 Win, 13-0 Win (ATL lol) - Drury had 8 Goals and like 15 assists, and Satan had 9 Goals with 10 or so assists,..

hmmmm

:lol: he's messin' with ya, man...just getting greedy for Zonebucks :$: ;)

[SkateZilla]

yeah,

Also,
Goaltending doesnt look to be an Issue this Year,

Other than that Noronen fiasco in Chicago, We Have only Given Up 2 Goals In Regulation, OT is Another Animal, but We Need to Score more and With SATAN back we should do just That :)

[BironsGirl43]

4-2 Buffalo is my prediction........

[SkateZilla]

I Dunno who is starting,

lemme check

[SkateZilla]

Hmm
the New Jersey And NY Islanders game should be good...

[SkateZilla]

GAME TIME!

[SkateZilla]

damn

whom ever sang the anthem , KUDOS, you did a great job, Absolutely Beautiful

[SkateZilla]

Satan Is Playing TO NITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SkateZilla]

Miller is Playing So It'll be a shut out :)

[SkateZilla]

I can only hope that's sarcasm.

[SkateZilla]

Ruff is Playing with Fire, Leaving the 1st Line out as Long as he's Been doing

[Rhett4NHL]

Damn. Peters is down.

[SkateZilla]

When did Columbus Get Pronger?

[Rhett4NHL]

Umm, they've had Sean Pronger for awhile.

[SkateZilla]

yeah

Im guessing Knee or Ankle injury

[Rhett4NHL]

They said he got back to the bench on his own. Hopefully, he's okay. Playing Philly on Thursday without Boulton or Peters would be suicide.

we need them both to Fight

[SkateZilla]

im predicting no Shots on the power play hehe

[Rhett4NHL]

Philly is a big team and toughness is important against them. I hope Peters gets back out on the ice tonight and shows that he's alright (with maybe a fight or two ; )

[SkateZilla]

2 Minutes for Diving

[SkateZilla]

hmm
Lindy is Givng Satan some Ice time tonite,
Every time we get it in the COlumbus Zone he sends out th Drury line

[Rhett4NHL]

At least they didn't get one in the net.

Because they're playing well.

[SkateZilla]

Did we get a penalty jsut now?

[SkateZilla]

Go Miller....

[Rhett4NHL]

Yeah. Then Columbus got one. We're on the PP now.

[Rhett4NHL]

I'm still waiting on word about Peters.

[SkateZilla]

hehe
OK

DELMORE Your On, Score 1 For Us,

NHL.com Operatives are slow updating the stats Still

[SkateZilla]

Peters Prolly got a Sprain or something,

He's to "tough" to not wanna play

[Rhett4NHL]

Sprain's can prevent a guy from fighting for a few weeks, though.

[SkateZilla]

aww
hmm

Who took his spot?

[SkateZilla]

lmao the Radio guy yelled to the team that they had too many men

[SkateZilla]

lmao Satan seems a Little On Edge .. like he wants to fight..

[Rhett4NHL]

Alright. Satan scores. Good.

[SkateZilla]

SATAN SCORES

[SkateZilla]

Welcome BACK SATAN,

A Post and an Goal in 9 Seconds.

[Rhett4NHL]

Miller sounds like he's playing a strong game. This is good news.

[Rhett4NHL]

Peters back on the ice! Woohoo.

[SkateZilla]

1st-17:08-BUF-M. SATAN (1) Assists : A. ZHITNIK (1) D. BRIERE (1)

Hmm Zhitnik is doing great this season,

[SkateZilla]

Peters wil fight later,

Columbus is starting to take cheep shots on our guys

[Rhett4NHL]

I want to see him rumble with Shelley. That'd be a good litmus test for Peters.

[SkateZilla]

agree on that one,

didnt he whoop on Domi In Toronto?

I dont remember who he fought but he fought 2 different peeps in toronto

[The Spaz]

Satan Rules!:)

[SkateZilla]

our Penalty killing is looking good,

and our Power Play is like 8% better so far

[Rhett4NHL]

8-8 thus far for Miller. I hope he keeps up the shutout.

I might also Add this is the 1st Game where we have scored First..

[Rhett4NHL]

It's because the Devil is back.

[Rhett4NHL]

The games getting nasty.

After this five minutes penalty expires, Peters needs to whoop someone.

[SkateZilla]

yeah,

Boarding

[The Spaz]

Those dirty MOFO's hitting from behind lucky the guy is getting ejected or he would have to face peters!

[Rhett4NHL]

Zhitnik has as many goals this preseason as all last season.

[SkateZilla]

time for Satan to get his Hat trick :hail: satan

[The Spaz]

Score! Briere or Zhitnik!:)

[SkateZilla]

3 2 1:10 38 A. NEDOROST 5:00 Checking from behind (maj)
4 2 1:10 38 A. NEDOROST 10:00 Game misconduct

LMAO,

They said they were cracking down on Checking from behind

[SkateZilla]

damn

Zhinik actually scored, again

[Rhett4NHL]

Hey now, 2 power play goals in about a minute? Zhitnik hitting the net? What's happening here?

I'm not complaining.

[SkateZilla]

2nd-1:39-BUF-D. BRIERE (1) Assists : A. ZHITNIK (2) R. FITZPATRICK (1)

[SkateZilla]

[The Spaz]

[SkateZilla]

i say put in Drury - Satan - Kotlik line in and let them Play a little

[Rhett4NHL]

Okay, in two minutes I say they put Peters out there to hurt someone. Those two goals were a minor message. Pain sends another one entirely.

[SkateZilla]

gratton hasnt scored one yet, meanwhile we have briere scoring bunches, kudos to PhnX for their stupidity, ...

[SkateZilla]

Miller Needs a Shutout

[Rhett4NHL]

Okay. Shelley was on the ice right there. Where was Peters at?

[SkateZilla]

LMAO
Im not getting harrassment for wearing my Sabres Jersey in Public,

I Am However Getting Harassed Because it has PEca's DEtails On It, So I Guess i Go online and buy a satan, kotalik or Drury Number Kit and Change them :)

[SkateZilla]

This is good to see. Just think, this is without Delmore in the lineup.

[SkateZilla]

let briere get the hat trick so the momentum carries to the PHILY game

[SkateZilla]

why'd they scratch delmore??

it would be like 5 Nothing Now if he was here


Im glad to see Zhitnik Shooting, shooting on net for the most part

[Rhett4NHL]

Originally posted by SkateZilla

Because they still have 8 or 9 defenseman and can only play so many. Delmore's just getting a night off. He will play tomorrow, no doubt.

[SkateZilla]

Briere wants to fight.. hehe So Peters Will eventually

[SkateZilla]

briere might get 2 for EDIT: High Stickin

[SkateZilla]

yeah
Norfolk has that same problem,

abundance of defense men

[Rhett4NHL]

But every in the NHL is afraid of him already :)

[SkateZilla]

[SkateZilla]

poor max,
gettin abused for nothing

[Rhett4NHL]

Damn. Well, I have to go in a second. I'm probably going to miss the action.

If Peters fights I expect a play by play post, SkateZilla. Catch ya later, man.

[SkateZilla]

hmm double minor on COL,

[SkateZilla]

[Makaveli]

No matter how we score it counts as a goal this, and I'll take it, besides or PP has been awful over the years it's good to see it's improving.:clap:

[Makaveli]

oh there is no doubt that a goal is a goal and whatever gets the win, but what i am trying to say or ask is can the sabres still get the job done even strength? :ko:

[SkateZilla]

yeah,

its a Toronto Game without the Scoring of Toronto :)

[SkateZilla]

No Report of Hecht's Condition yet

[SkateZilla]

Drury gets grabbed and he tells the ref and he gets a penalty for Yelling at the ref..

[SkateZilla]

[SkateZilla]

[SkateZilla]

[Makaveli]

[SkateZilla]

Poor Miller,

That Shocked me to,
a Shot thru 9 Players and hits me in the chest, and then one of those 9 plyers in your face tap it in.

[SkateZilla]

8 out of 9 is Good Penalty Killing %

and 4 outa 12 is Good a Power play %,

[SkateZilla]

then again if you only saw 2 shots in 24 minutes you'd start to fall asleep too :)

[SkateZilla]

Roy is All over the PLace..

[The Spaz]

Peters just beat the ***** out of McConnell....LMAO!:)

[SkateZilla]

Peters Is Fighting Mc Donnell..

No it wouldn't I respect Ray for all the things he has done for Buffalo as a player and a person I don't want him to be bloodied up by Peters!

[SkateZilla]

Hmm is it me or is the Islanders like 7-0-0-0 In the Preseason

[Makaveli]

wow this was quite the thread and quite the interesting game, it woulda been a good one to watch, more views and posts than any other thread in the Sabres forum :cp:

[SkateZilla]

hehe

ESPN Ratings would have been sky high

I Think ESPN Might Wanna Broadcast more Sabres Games,
Especially with Peters Fighting Everyone

[Makaveli]

Originally posted by SkateZilla

awesome go Isles (next to Sabres that is :candle:) I don't know what it is with the New York teams but Buffalo, Rochester, NYI, Bridgeport... they all rule :$:

[SkateZilla]

S0 We Are 2-2-1-2

the .500 which is better than Last Year :)

[SkateZilla]

yeah i got 278 Zone Bucks from this game :P

[SkateZilla]

Maybe Highlights On ESPN News

[Makaveli]

I dont know how much I got but I've only joined here a few days ago and already I have over 50 posts from these heated game threads

ot... i just seen this, one of the best smilies here... http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/images/smilies/freddy.gif
:wave:

[SABuffalo786]

So is it safe to say the Sabres look good?

:bandwagon:

[SkateZilla]

Yup,

Satan Is back,
Power Play is Scroing Bunches (without Delmore i might add)( Power Play in Preseason 24% 8th)
Defense is Attacking (Pen. Killing Pre Season 92% 1st)

Not to Mention Peters :punchu:

[Rhett4NHL]

I am back! It's look like I missed a lot.

Peters....NICE! That's what I like to hear.

As for Hecht...damn. That's a big blow. Now Hecht, Connolly, and Boulton will be on the sidelines. It's starting to look like both Roy and Botterill will be here to start the season.

[alyson]

Go Danny, Alexei and MIRO! That sucks about Jochen though. It sucks to get injured in the pre-season. Nice to hear that their penalty killing is #1 so far, I wasn't aware of that.
I'm settling in to read my NHL preview in ESPN magazine. I hope it's somewhat informative!

[pyrrhonist]

Jochen has the worst luck, man. What with the ear incident last year, and now this. I was looking forward to the Hecht-Briere-Dumont line for a full year. I hope his arm heals faster than expected.

1 thing is for sure, though---I want Peters to beat Nederost's ass in the regular season for what happened last night.

[Myers57]

Hey guys what was the final score, I was gone all weekend...

Alright! Go Sabres!

[Makaveli]

really sorry to bring back a really old thread for those who hate when people do it but I was reading through the pages of this thread and wow I realized we won't have this until another year (possibly... maybe less, maybe more). This thread was awesome, we all had such high hopes for the season lol, all though they only dissapointed with the whole playoffs thing, I thought it was a great season otherwise...

missing these heated threads already :D

[Myers57]

I agree, all you can do is hope for the best I guess...

[SkateZilla]

i wouldnt be suprised..

somewhere connoly and about 85% of the Sabres NHL Roster are Playing together at some Club (the NHL Pep Clubbers Club or something),

so if a season.. they arelady have played with each other and they'll tell lindy ruff to shuttup and let them play and win... :bow:

[qcsabresfan84]

yea, it was good to see the pictures of them working out in amherst. good to know that there is a solid core of the sabres still playing together.

[pyrrhonist]

Thanks for the memories, Makaveli. :peace:

Sadly, I don't see us doing much of this at all this year. Sad, but possibly true.

[chubluv]

I think its ironic that you picked this thread to revive because tha Sabres would have opened the preseason in rochester against Columbus last night(friday)
