ExiledInIllinois Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 As a Sens fan, I look forward to the game on Wednesday. I don't! I have a funny feeling the Sens will be knocking on the door 3 points behind the Sabres after Wednesday's game (Sabres 2 games in-hand). I don't know what it is... But after the 2006 embarrassment that the Slugs laid on Alfie and the boys... The Sens ALWAYS get up for the Sabres... Ottawa is soley built to beat the Sabres... And Ruff has to do soomething about that! Anyway... I really like to see the Sabres come out of the 3 hole for the playoffs... I won't mind even lower in the standings... But I will start to get nervous.

But I will start to get nervous. But hockey is weird in that its made up of those type of situations isn't it? Sens seem to have the Sabres number since they humiliated the Sens in the 2006 playoffs. Up until the 2007 run, the Sabres had destroyed the Sens, particularly in the playoffs. Sabres PWN the Leafs. The Leafs have dominated the Sens in the playoffs (fortunately, they won't get a sniff of them again until at least 2020) but in turn, the Leafs have always been thwarted by the Flyers, a team Ottawa has ceremoniously dumped numerous times. Frankly, I think the Sens and the Sabres are the two best TEAMS in the East right now. They don't have the talent to compete with Washington, Jersey or Pittsburgh, or even Boston, but the coaches Clouston and Ruff have them playing a system game that the teams have bought into. Needless to say Wednesday's game is going to have a playoff-like atmosphere. I'm hoping that Miller's performance against the Pens last night makes Ruff think about putting Lalime in. Sens know him all too well...

I think NJD and BOS can be sticken off your list.
AxelRipper Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 I gave up on the Bills ten years ago, but have been hopin for the Sabres to help me out, I hope they have a master plan to try and win a cup, Make it happen Darcy wait... so if you lose a few games you suck? wow... i never knew that... it makes so much sense now! all pro teams other than the 72 dolphins totally suck! and all but 3 teams in NCAA football suck too! thank you for enlightening me!
Buffalo 66 Posted February 2, 2010 Author Posted February 2, 2010 wait... so if you lose a few games you suck? wow... i never knew that... it makes so much sense now! all pro teams other than the 72 dolphins totally suck! and all but 3 teams in NCAA football suck too! thank you for enlightening me! Lose a few games? The Bills have not been to the playoffs in a decade, they have lost more than they have won??? How can you compare the Bills to the 72 Dolphins??
Tommy Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Lose a few games? The Bills have not been to the playoffs in a decade, they have lost more than they have won??? How can you compare the Bills to the 72 Dolphins?? He's talking about the Sabres...since he quoted you talking about the Sabres....in a Bills forum nonetheless.
Spun Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 The Sabres should have won this game. They dominated the action after the early Pitt goal. BUT they did not cash in enough. There were a couple of empty net opportunies that just missed for the Sabres. Miller probably had his worst game of the year. He had some nice stops but he looked clueless in some of those goals. Then again, Crosby also had a couple of near misses. He came close to having five goals. Regroup and get after the Sens. Psychologically the Sabres need a win against the Sens. Too bad Kaleta won't be playing. I was expecting some revenge for that hit he took the last time the two teams met. The Kennedy goal from Grier was of the nicest looking goals that I have seen all year. Sabres and Sens preview: http://senators.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=515961
Buffalo 66 Posted February 4, 2010 Author Posted February 4, 2010 Playing good, need a freakin break, should be 4-1
Buffalo 66 Posted February 4, 2010 Author Posted February 4, 2010 Be nice to to get two points in regulation.
zow2 Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Sabs will be fortunate to get a point out of this one. They can never score against the Sens, it's frustrating.

BillsGuyInMalta Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 I would say the Sabres need to get their act together, and get it together fast.
