Even with the inconclusive video replays, I can tell that the puck crossed the line. Still, it's amazing that Marty even got back to attempt the save. The past few seasons, he probably wouldn't even have had the instinct to move back to his left.

Amidst all of the goals scored during the night, the highlight for me has to be when Mair annihilated Gonchar with that hit. Outstanding physical play by Mair once again. I noticed he even got shoved by someone on his way back to the bench. At least that hit was clean, unlike the boarding shot Jochen took earlier in the game, where the ref swallowed his whistle.

Although Briere should've put it away on that breakaway in the OT, Drury fights for the putback and seals the 'W' for Buffalo again. Pittsburgh never even threatened in the OT period.

Don't forget the early start tomorrow guys, at 2pm PST (For me!), 5pm EST.

I thought there had to be clean evidence to show that the puck crossed the line...they assumed the puck was in the part of his glove that was behind the net...but remember...His glove is moving forward very quickly too. I dunno. But yea, what a great effort by marty nonetheless. That hit that Mair unleashed on Gonchar was DISGUSTING haha!!! So damn awesome!!!! Hecht went head first into the boards, that was total BS. The ref was so close to the hit he was almost humping Jochen when he was on the ice.... This team doesnt quit, LOVE IT!!!!!!

LETS GO SABRES!!!

Exactly. And that was my biggest problem with it, even aside from the hit itself. The @$&%^! linesman was right there and he let the crap go down. What a jackoff. That was a time I would've liked to see someone go at Recchi and beat him down, but the instinkator rule would prevent that, of course.

I hope that the blast on Gonchar makes highlight reels on TSN or the web tonight.

Loved the Mair hit.

Loved Marty's save, even if it counted as a goal. It did kinda look like it crossed, but IMO it wasn't conclusive enough to overturn.

Loved that in OT, they kept trying to hit the home run pass from their own zone.

Re: The Sabres Goto Crosbytown USA - Game Thread

My favorite part was when someone(forget who) got a pretty good hit on Pominville. It was a legal hit. But after Mair went after him, just to let him know that the Sabres aren't going to take the ****. They didn't get in a fight but I like them sticking up for one another.

I believe I lot of this has to do with the fact that Satan is not in that locker room bringing everybody down and Ruff having to baby his ass. This team seems pretty tight.

I saw that reply once and it looked like he took the shot off the skateblade, not the ankle. But like I said, I only seen it once.

PITT played really well last night and we still won. The game was increadible. Every day that goes by I believe more and more. The Sabres are for real. I think Vanek is just plain way ahead of the team on offense. We need to get more scoring opportunities from his passing game he's making amazing plays and the rest of our guys aren't anywhere near the action.
