This game could be such a confidence booster right now... though with that being said, I'm none too confident about us beating Ottawa as things currently stand. Let's hope we pull things together, at least for one night.

As sad as it sounds, I have little faith in Buffalo winning tonight. However, if Ottawa were to just take it easy the rest of the season (They have the Eastern #1 locked up), maybe Buffalo can win! :up:

according to NHL Rulebook player cannot score a goal by hitting the goalie (Ie hitting the goalie to get him to drop puck)


Eaves Clearly Hit Biron's Arm And not hte Puck...

Toronto Strikes Again..

nevertheless, hopefully this helps them get out of the funk.

Couldn't have said it better myself! :D

What a game. Aside from some boneheaded passes from the Buffalo zone (Kalinin, McKee), Buffalo played solid. Alas, this was Ottawa "lite", since many of Ottawa's stud players weren't even dressed, but still, 2 points is 2 points. They need to desperately keep the Flyers & Rangers at bay, since whichever team isn't going to win the Atlantic is gunning to take the 4th spot away.

Speaking of, next game is against Philthy, this Friday! :up:

actually, In HD, ZOomed to about 8x, The Puck Jumped on Dimitri and the Ottawa played Poked at it to get it around Tri and then passed it.. random hop.. they happen, look at emery, he's lucky he only let in 5... this game coulda been easily 8-4, specially witht he way he was going in and outta the crease after our dump ins, which is something we havent done against Ottawa all season till tonite...
