Go Sabres!

Is Biron going back-to-back, or are they going to give Dennis a shot tonight?

[Ebenezer]

I would bet it would be Biron; I think he can go 3 in 4 nights...

I will miss tonights game...going camping.

[YardRat]

I'm sure Marty will go, also. Dennis won't see time unless there's an injury.

[GThirst]

Marty played rather poorly last night. It really hurt my confidence in him, but I believe it was just an off night.

[im4bflo]

Let's GO, SLUG-A-LO!!!

[Philagape]

The picture looks weird, like's it's in slow-mo

[YardRat]

The picture looks weird, like's it's in slow-mo

Why do we suck at 5-3??

VANNNNEEKKKKKKK scores !!!!!!!

[im4bflo]

I'm getting that also.

Why do we suck at 5-3??

VANNNNEEKKKKKKK scores !!!!!!!

I usually read that we won, before I hear it, because of the 2 minute delay listening on my PC.
We blew a good chance to actually lead in the 1st
Gaustad SCOOOOOOOooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrressss...!
Tied in the 1st

[BlackMetalNinja]

I've got the slo mo vision on my MSG feed on Center Ice too... it's kind of annoying actually.

[TacklingDummy]

2-1 Sabres

[YardRat]

Pomminville gets his tenth. To think EVERY team in the league had a shot at him last year early and passed him over

[Philagape]

Stafford first NHL goal!!!!!

[TacklingDummy]

Goaaaaal, 3-1 Sabres.

[YardRat]

WOOT !!

1,2,3,....We want 4!!!

[TacklingDummy]

The Flyers must be getting tired of being embarrassed by the Sabres. I sorta feel sorry for them. Only because Esche is from my area.

[im4bflo]

Stafford first NHL goal!!!!!

Another sniper, just what we need
and to think we've got some of our best players sitting!

[Philagape]

Flyers are gooning it up ... punks

[im4bflo]

[Philagape]

That's all they can do because they SUCK
