Buffalo Sabres

MayDay10

as a Sabres fan, its my duty to loathe the Flyers. This particular team I dont hate nearly as much as Flyers teams past... but these 2 franchises have a long history together.

:shock: Ouch! But they like Pearl Jam more.

Anyway, back to hockey. Pronger has been ruled out for tomorrow's game. So the Flyers are bringing up some reinforcements from the minors:



They look pretty tough. Bet the Sabres are scared.

I don't suppose you work for the Edge and or are one of the radio personnel for the aforementioned show between 3 and 7. . . are you?

Also on a side note I'm very happy the Sabres organization does not pay for the services of any ice whores. There's a place for them in football. . . there's not a place for them in hockey.

Funny you should say that. I don't particularly love this group of Flyers. (I mean, the fucking captain wears a goddam Yankees cap.) The more we love 'em, the more everyone else hates 'em. Of course, they're still the Flyers, even if there's no Rick Tocchet or John Leclair.

Leopold in tonight. . . Sekera might be out.

I hate having a revolving door at defense especially when it's the weakest part of our team as is, but I suppose as long as Persson isn't dressing then it's still not time to panic. :shock:

It seems like the Sabres are trying to slow the game down a bit. I don't hate the strategy, but it doesn't seem like it's helping them be more defensively responsible. Hopefully that Gerbe goal will pump them up a little bit.

Win one for the home crowd, guys.

too many horrific breakdowns/giveaways by the defense in their own zone. Too many gifted scorers on the Flyers to get away with that.

One thing I've noticed is that Philly always has three guys standing in front of the net. I'm not talking about in the offensive zone either. It's so hard to get shots on the net because you have to get it through three players to even reach the waterboy.

On the other side, Philly is getting plenty of prime opportunities on Miller.

5-3 ..GOTTA SCORE

I have never seen that before. . . where a goalie takes off his mask during a 5 on 3. I don't understand how that isn't delay of game.

I understand, but when this happened:



And this happened:



They didn't blow the whistle until the play was over. Why was it different this time around? We had a 5 on 3 and it's not like waterboy's mask fell off. . . he took it off himself. I just don't understand how that in itself is not a delay of game. I'm not saying that the game goes the other way if waterboy doesn't take off his helmet, I just think it was a really sneaky way to kill the Sabre's momentum on that 5 on 3.

Whistle is suppose to blow as soon as a mask comes off. I didnt see the play pictures, so no comment on it. You got vid and audio of that play

I get the whistle is supposed to blow as soon as the mask comes off, but the fact of the matter is, that's the first time I've actually seen it happen, and it's because he took it off himself. Intentionally kicking the net off it's moorings is delay of game. I don't understand why this wasn't.

I'm bent and just looking for things to nit-pick about. Weak defense is going to be the death of us. It's just a shame since we were basically flawless down the stretch to make it into the dance.

Bad reffing is becoming the standard, not the exception. It really irks me when the refs decide to make the "right call" when they've been content with making the wrong call for my team under the exact same circumstances.
