Another good win, definetely need to finish it off tonight, I am predicting a shut-out...

[pyrrhonist]

I'm hoping I'll be back home in time to see the whole game. More than likely, I'll only get to see the 2nd and 3rd. I'll set a tape. Good luck to the team tonight! :up:

Also Carolina Leads NYI 3-1 In the Second Period

[qcsabresfan84]

I live in charlotte, nc so i get to watch the canes-islanders game on fox sports net. Carolina is getting a bunch of great chances as a result of pretty crappy defense by new york.

[SkateZilla]

Period 2 Underway

[Myers57]

If the Isles lose and the Sabres win, the Sabres would have to win the rest of their games and have the Isles go 2-2...

[Myers57]

so far my shutout prediciton is working!

~~knock on wood~~

[SkateZilla]

Penguins PP

[Myers57]

Max gets a penalty but it is not so bad because if the Sabres feed him the puck right when he gets out of the box, he is gone for another Sabres goal!

[Myers57]

I remembered watching it happen when he beat hasek after stepping right out fo the box...

[SkateZilla]

Carolina 3, New York Isles -1, 2nd INT.

[#1Fan]

[SkateZilla]

Its A Tie

[#1Fan]

2-2 Tie :mad:

[SabreEleven]

Ruff is pissed and I don't blame him, how can they let go what the Penguins did and then turn around and call one on Dumont...BULL****

[SabreEleven]

Sabres should have won that game. sure didn't look like a playoff team. :mad:

[Michael82]

Damn it! The Hurricanes helped Buffalo out by winning, yet Buffalo couldn't take advantage of it by getting the 2 points. :mad:

[#1Fan]

Everything was going the Sabres way...the only thing that could ruin it was themselves.....and whatca know it.

[Dozerdog]

Grier's blown open net opportunity

Robby says that went in....wonder what he meant? I'd like to see the over head shot of it.

[Dozerdog]

It wasn't close to being in the net-


He deked the goalie, had the puck on his back hand at the top of the goalie crease with an open net, and his backhand shot hit the post, came back out and hit the goalie's skate, I think it hit the post again, and trickled away from the net.

[Dozerdog]

Artist's rendition

[qcsabresfan84]

that's a very pretty picture dozer

[Turf]

Why is Ruff playing 2 defensman in OT?? Why not 1? Why not none? We needed the two points.

I was just repeating what Robbie said, don't shoot the messanger...

[SkateZilla]

I Believe THe NHL Will Suspends SOme People Apon Review of the Game..

Also.

Griere Hit the Post Twice He Shot it and It Hi the Post and trickled along the line and the goalie un knowingly kicked it away.. lucky him...

We Couldve very Easily Lost if the REF Wasnt as Quick as he was on that whistle.. also.. Penguins have been whooping our ass all saeson.. I Think Last Night Was a FLUKE on their Part..

5 Points Out.. The Isles Cant Win More than 2 Or Get More than 4 Points.. a Tie in Points Wont Help Us Because Tie Breaker is WINS-Head To Head (Record Between the 2 teams) Div. Wins, Conf. Wins... and So On.. So Hopefully the ISLES Lose 2 or 3 more, While We Win 3 or 4

[Myers57]

The Isles can't even win 2, that would put them 4 points ahead and out of our reach...
