Lets go Sabres!!!!

Re: The Sabres Host Carolina Hurricanes!



Sweet Hell, has it been rough lately watching this "team". They've become human pylons, with guys blowing by them left & right, and with the blueliners leaving Ryan out to dry.

That being said, the officials have blown tonight. They've called some questionable "penalties" against Buffalo, while giving Carolina the benefit on a few non-calls.

Will we ever get to celebrate this feeling again?

Re: The Sabres Host Carolina Hurricanes!

WTF ??? Why the slow starts and swiss cheese goaltending all of a sudden?

Re: The Sabres Host Carolina Hurricanes!

Maybe my sarcastic picture was an inspiration? Finally, the Sabres break their scoreless streak.

4-2, 8 minutes to go in the game.

Re: The Sabres Host Carolina Hurricanes!

Miller did let in some crappy goals..why the hell did he have his stick on an angle on carolinas game winner?? 4 goals..11 shots.. sure the d-fense wasnt stellar...wtf do u expect? miller just looks so out of position sometimes. but then other times hes hasek. like the one goal last night..he went from post to post but upon going across he layed flat on the ice like he was dodging an airplane.. didnt even put up his glove or anything. I didnt watch the 3rd period but damn we need some grit and passion back into our game, what a great time to start slacking guys.
