*Game Thread* Sabres Vs. Leafs

Naturally, I could give a crap about bragging rights on a message board, so I hope that we win the game. 2 points is the most important thing here.

That was a great scoring opportunity, our best of the 3rd. Alas, no goal.



Off to Rochester with you, scab!

You think he'll accept Rochester? He probably don't have a choice.

I'm not that upset with 1 point with the way they played 80 percent of this game.

this OT is exciting...

[pyrrhonist]

Good point, as they probably don't even deserve the 1 point we've already "earned".

I was out of my chair on that last break, but damn, Belfour came through with a monster save. Damn you, Eddie!

Still haven't heard what happen to Dumont

[pyrrhonist]

Was he ever on the ice for the game?

A double-whammy for me tonight...I got the score correct (3-3), and I called the 1st star (Sundin) correctly. That's if the CBC announced the correct stars.

We're doing SO much better so far than our December play. A tie is fine, we have to work our way up to consistent winning :)

Alyson,

Having watched the entire game, I'd say I don't want us to continue to play like tonight. We were damn lucky it wasn't 5 or 6-3. Biron was a wall tonight, and thankfully. We took advantage of our few SOGs, but that was it. We'll take the 1 point, because we need it. But we have to stop playing safe after we get a lead. We need to just keep pouring it on.

[alyson]

I agree with you, but I just don't think we can expect all that much after the really awful play the last month. Maybe I'm letting them off too easily! But I really think they're making strides. IF only they could play like they did on New Year's Eve; they just stomped all over the Caps the entire game. We do tend to back off too much after we get a one-goal lead. I wonder if that's a problem with the players, or the coaching?!?!

[pyrrhonist]

I'm not sure. I'm guessing it is Lindy's defense-first mentality. Alas, points are points.

G'night everyone, we'll "talk" to everyone later.

Well.. somehow I knew we wouldn't be lucky enough to sneak off with the win. The Leafs really dominated huge chunks of that game. Wow.. I can breathe easy now that it's over. Glad we didn't lose.. and a point against the Leafs after playing last night is decent.. I guess we should be happy. Although ties do suck.. it's better than a loss. Good chances.. good saves.. good game.

I thought Marty played a pretty strong game. The Leafs had a lot of chances close in.. and with lots of traffic infront. And they did score 2 of their goals on the PP.. when they were left in all alone. The goals that were scored were made on plays where mistakes had happened.. (eg. Kalinin not taking Sundin).. but that's okay. A point is a point. 34 saves is nice.. I really liked the one he made on Fitzgerald.. Biron slid to the other side of the net to make the save with his pad. I'm glad to see that his record is at 500 again too

Do you realize, Toronto is the best team in the league right now?

And to get a tie with them is damn fine for me.

We played fine, who gives a damn about sog, most were blocked its not like we were hammered the entire game.
