Catholic Guilt Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 I'm been out-of-the-loop for a week and find out the boys are slumping. What is going on? Should I be concerned? Talk me off the ledge X!
Mile High Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Skiiiiddddddding. I heard that if you live in Buffalo and you look out the window recently the sky is actually falling. They've lost five. But, they haven't really in my eyes been dominated. They'll be fine.

With three of the five losses coming against teams that are ahead of them in the standings I'm not ready to jump off any bridges yet.

Talk me off the ledge X! 643461[/snapback] Don't be too concerned. But change the beneficiary on your life insurance to X. Benedict, if you do that the Sabres should start winning again. How high is that ledge?
Like A Mofo Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 There goes tonight.....Miller is TERRIBLE right now...why is he out there again!?!?! So much for Miller is great thoughts...a bit premature...0 shutouts....hes good, but nothing special IMO
Ghost of BiB Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 I don't get to watch them, but I aquaint it to a baseball slump. Very few teams in any sport get by without hitting one of those periods, I think. Just not try to be there at the end of the season. Believe me, I know the syndrome. I'm a Braves fan.

Alaska Darin Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 I haven't seen much of this one (tuned in just before Briere scored) but judging from what I've seen it's almost a miracle we're in front. The Rangers have dominated possession and territory and are seriously outworking us. On the positive much of what they're doing is on the perimeter and it's pretty obvious we don't have alot of respect for their defense. Still, if we continue to lose battles in our own zone it does not bode well for our long term goals.

In fact this has been true almost all season, but without a sustained forcheck it seems like it is happening more often. It'll be nice to have Hecht back.
Like A Mofo Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Maybe that huge save in the 2nd by Miller will get him some confidence who knows....

It'll be nice to have Hecht back. 643972[/snapback] Hecht's loss is killing us on the PK most of all. He's so damn good at reading plays that it's super obvious when he's not out there. We also miss Connelly's freewheeling. His speed and creativity forces the opposition's defense to be more selective when they pinch or join.
Like A Mofo Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Good points in this thread and is easing my feelings about the Sabres....I gotta get rid of this negative Buffalo sports rants that I have...it is a disease that has infected me for years
IBTG81 Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 4-4. Ouch. The Sabres are looking like my Devils right now. They're not being physical at all...
Alaska Darin Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Once again, we have stopped skating. I can't figure out this team for the life of me. We work our asses off for 3 months straight and all of the sudden just completely stopped. It's like the curse of Rory Fitzpatrick or something.
Alaska Darin Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 What a stupid penalty with 2:02 left 644008[/snapback] I'm happier that they didn't call the two hander that caused him to go off balance in the first place.
Alaska Darin Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 OK, so am I the only one who threw up in my mouth a little when Rory Fitzpatrick was the last man back and literally gave ground all the way to the top of the blue?
