Re: The Bruins Come To the Sabres - Game Thread

Re: The Bruins Come To the Sabres - Game Thread

haha I hope Noronen gets his chance, I really don't think he has gotten one like Miller or Biron...

Sure it was only preseason, but we were up 3-0 and he let 6 straight goals in. From what I heard they were shots he SHOULD have saved. I understand everyone has a bad game once in a while, so I say give the kid another chance!

Re: The Bruins Come To the Sabres - Game Thread

Re: The Bruins Come To the Sabres - Game Thread

Looks like we're watching another good old, physical, Eastern Conference game from previous seasons. Neither team has had tons of chances, and the score is 0-0.

Here's to some scoring chances getting some goals for Buffalo in the 2nd.

Back to watching some of the other games. Man, Atlanta is killing Washington.

Re: The Bruins Come To the Sabres - Game Thread

Boston was obstructing on every rush until they got called for it. Then they seemed to back off and the Sabres got some opportunities.

Sweet Xmas, it's about damn time. I need my Jeanneret fix!

I am glad to hear I wasn't the only one not getting the feed. I had my DISH box set to start recording at 4:58 PST, and it was recording a "technical difficulties" screen the whole time. I thought I was going to start feeling what the folks with DirecTV have been feeling.

Re: The Bruins Come To the Sabres - Game Thread

At last, a goal!

I may have rooted against the U of Minnesota many times when Vanek was there (I'm a Michigan fan), but I absolutely am glad he has arrived.

Re: The Bruins Come To the Sabres - Game Thread

Finally! A PPG.


Gorgeous passing, leading up to it.

What a play by Vanek. Wow, very nice.
