The Sabres at the Canucks game Thread

[SkateZilla]

Canucks 2-2-1-0 5Pts GF-13 GA-9
Sabres 2-3-0-0 4Pts GF-7 GA-15

What I Dont Understand Is NHL.com is Reporting That Briere Is Still Injured But traveling with the Team, But according to My Radio Feed and the Stats Briere Has Been Playing.

If We Could Get back To Back wins and maybe B2b Shutouts Our teams emotion will be up there and Emotion means everything,
if the team is eager to play and score they will play better than a team that doesnt want to play.

[pyrrhonist]

I would love to see us get back-to-back wins, but I'm trying to stay realistic---I think Vancouver is going to trounce us. However, I'm not saying I don't think anything is impossible, as any team can beat anyone on any night (whew!).

Let's go, Buffalo!! :up:

[The Spaz]

I'll be watching on NHL Center Ice. I hope we win seeing it's that late of a game. Go Sabres. I predict 3-1 Buffalo.

[Dozerdog]

I love it- i bought NHL center Ice, and have watched 1 freakin' Sabres game.

Missed the 4 PM game (work) last week, missed the Dallas game ( travelling to New Orleans- work) and now I'm in San Francisco/Oakland (work again)

[Dozerdog]

Keep me informed, guys!!

[pyrrhonist]

There's 1 for Vancouver......... :rock:

[pyrrhonist]

Curtis is perfecting the art of hitting the goal post, man. :wail:

Just give me a key t othe house, and I'll take good care of your Center Ice package. We wouldn't want it to be lonely now would we? ;)

Well,
its only 1-0 Thats Suprising Enough.

[pyrrhonist]

We're getting some decent pressure, just not putting the puck in the net.

Make that 2-0. I'm not sure if the net came up first, though.

[SkateZilla]

well 2-0 now :)

[SkateZilla]

as long as we dont get shutout..

[SkateZilla]

[SkateZilla]

Thankfully........but I hope that means we'll use the time we have left. :boozer:

[SkateZilla]

wtf?

Doesnt Ruutu Play for Chicago?

[pyrrhonist]

Sit Mika down----With the defense. We can't clear the puck for crap. Can we fold and go on to the next city? :mods:

The one on Vancouver is Jarkko Ruutu

[Rhett4NHL]

I like how this "defensive team" forgot how to play defense. It's not our inability to score that's hurting us. It's the fact we've give up more goals than any team in the league.

[SkateZilla]

im not gonna listen to the rest..
this is a slaughter.
LMAO Annoucer says "its a Stinker"

our defense is just way toooo like wooooooooooooooooooooooooahh

Britney Spears And Xtinia Aguilera could Defend Better than all 6 of our Guys.

100% agreed. I'm sorry I mentioned we should pull Mika, because it's not his fault that his defensemen are letting the Canucks come in at will. We're atrocious tonight. This is worse than watching the Sharks the other night get blasted by the Sens. :cry: :hamrhed:

Holy smokes this is ugly. If I'm Ruff, I scream at my team during the intermission and then send Peters out first shift to rough someone up in the 2nd. Then I pray to God my players see the whooping he just laid on the Vancouver guy and get a little adrenaline going.

Then I call the bus driver and have him start warming it up.

[pyrrhonist]

I hate to be a "quitter" as well, but I think I'm going to use the rest of my night more wisely, as well. Off to read some comics, and spend time with the wife. :shades:

We Need Goal Tending and defense to Boot.

if your goalie isnt a Top 5 Goalie your Defense had better be,

Norfolk (AHL) hasnt got the best goalie in the AHL, But the Defense only lets the other team get MAX 4 Shots On Goal a Period.

I wish I still had my NHL2K3---I "upgraded" to ESPN NHL. BTW, Zilla, what's your Xbox Live GamerTag, so I can add you to my list? My tag, as you might guess, is Pyrrhonist.

[SkateZilla]

give you 1 Guess,

Skate Zilla

I Play NHL 2K3,
havent had the Moeny to go get ESPN NHL yet, and Im Not Touching EA's Crap.

[SkateZilla]

btw it 4-0 now

[Fennernen]

Is it 4-0 now? that's what nhl.com says.... :(

[Fennernen]

HOLY *****.... 5-0

[The Spaz]

I can't take this **** anymore. We have no defense at all no on echecks anybody our team is as soft as charmin triple ply. I am watching this game on NHL Center Ice and it isn't pretty. We have like 5 shots on goal, as I am typing this it is now 6-0. Ruff obviously doesn't have control of his players. I request a coaching change immediately!!!!!!!

[Fennernen]

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!!!! No wonder nobody is posting.... 6-0

[SkateZilla]

yeah i know
lindy ruff better realize its not the goalies..

its the defense...

How many Zone Bucks you wanna put up ... I Bet He's gonna Bring Up Miller SOON :)

[SkateZilla]

oh well
as we speak im creming Vancouver 4-0 IN the 1st On NHL2k3

Yeah. This team will waste their time bringing in a goalie that got shelled already because this team has no defense. Where's the committment? This can't all be because Warrener is gone. That's for sure.

Coaching change? I'm all for it now. Anything would help at this point.

[SkateZilla]

i say put Zhitnik In Goal :)

Woohoo for video games and fantasies.

[The Spaz]

Those shots look bad. The score...well, I can't even look.

6 goals on 20 shots? That's atrocious. Terrible. Ugly. Brutal.

Jim Corsi is on now in the intermission. Hey Jim, mention to him that they, along with the defense, are terrible.

Yeah He Needs to Revert back to last years defensive stategy,
Obviously the dumbo Changed something and its not working,

sorta like the lines he changes after Game 3 last year.

This isnt doing anything but killing our goalie's stats.

Im definately going to the game vs florida thanksgiving weekend,

1. to see if bironsgirls look like that pic (will have my carea ready)

2. to peg Lindy Ruff with french Fries during the game,

3. to throw a Chicken Finger or two at him after the game,

4. Depending on wether we win or lose. By him a White Flag to wave at the end of the game..

Expect anther team meeting called by golisano,
he's not gonna put up with this shi-t, I HAve a Really bad feeling on what he's gonna say,

look on the bright side, we are still better than toronto in points at the present time.

i think we have a 5 way tie with 4 points in the conference right now,
mean while atlanta is sitting pretty up top (without leading scorer)

[Rhett4NHL]

Jim Lorentz: "I thought Mika played an outstanding game in Calgary. Let's talk about him".

How about Corsi mentions that he gave up 3 goals on 3 shots. I'm pretty sure that's a zero save percentage in the first few minutes of the game.

[SkateZilla]

wel
satan scored on our PP, Biron and Drury got assists so it looks like we finally woke up a little... just a teeny bit though

[SkateZilla]

the 3rd Period Was ALL biron, Congrats Birons Girl, he has 20 Minutes worth of Shutout time,

theres hope for the team yet,
I think we play thursday night against LA,

We Need points were not gonna hold this 8th spot for very long by losing.

[Fennernen]

BAH!!! That was a pathetic effort... and Bertuzzi, the only guy on vancouver on my fantasy (not the USFHL) team, got NO points... what's with that? I am disgusted with the Sabres effort, I mean, I never walk out on a game, but blah!

[The Spaz]

I watched the whole thing although I must say I drank a little to help me deal with it....lol:)! We have absolutely no defense, has that ever been mentioned before???!!!!! Something has to be done something damn it!!!!!

[JD]

Well it was too late for me to listen to game, but who was in net.

If it was Biron im gonna cry.... Im guessing it was since hes a fudgepacker...

[SkateZilla]

biron and norenon both got raped.
