The Dean Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 So get this. I'm on my way to Charleston for vacation manana and.. I'm pretty sure I'll see NO games while i'm there. So I had to, yes had to delete the Miami home game, Cinncy away game and Kill Bill 1 and 2 from my TIVO to make room for games 4,5,6 and 7. I'm not sure that all of those games will even be played (knock on wood) but it's set just in case. 687711[/snapback] It's always good to have a backup plan, just in case...so I understand wanting to TIVO the games. But you're going to Charlotte, not China. There HAS to be a place with the game...no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 BUT BUT BUT his GAA isn't even top 10! He barely scratches the top 10 with his save %age man! Don't muddle things with game play, look at the stats! 687693[/snapback] Now you're starting to piss me off. What more do I have to say...when the guy's performed well, i've given him his props.

Like A Mofo Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 The reason that the team was able to have a 3.37 scoring average is directly attributed to the goaltending. We were able to take alot more chances in the offensive zone (forechecking two deep and the third lower than normal) and our forwards were better able to counterattack from our zone because they had the confidence that Miller would handle his job (Biron did too but we definitely played a bit more reserved when he was in net). Miller has been spectacular most of the season. His lows were attributable to poor positional defense (and fuggin' Rory Fitzpatrick) and perhaps that Lindy stayed with him a bit too much. I've watched virtually every Sabres game this season (the only exception was the non-televised anywhere Atlanta game) and Miller has rarely been the reason we've lost games. 687583[/snapback] Good post and I agree with your assessment AD.

Lori Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 For whatever reason this team runs odd man rushes as well as any team in my recent memory. In this series it's as much because of Emery as anything, I'd say. Briere absolutely wasted him on the first goal last night - dude ended up on his face with his hips facing the rafters. He honestly couldn't have played that any worse and proven to me he'd ever had skates on before. Briere's the master of the last-second pass; he fried Esche twice with that in game 5. Agree about Emery in game 2, although Chara wasn't much help on the Dumont goal, either. But when Hecht stormed in on the breakaway, you just KNEW the puck was going to end up in the back of the net... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I concur, the Sens were getting away with a lot of head hunting last night and the refs made no call. However at a crucial point i the game the ref makes a chippy call about intentionally sending the puck over the glass. I told my wife, "Just give them the goal and lets move on" Miller is a freakin octopus. The team should buy him flowers and take him to a dinner and a movie. 686993[/snapback] I am going through this thread late... Sorry... I have to disagree here... It ISN'T a chippy call, the new rules dictate that you MUST give the team a delay of game penalty no matter what... If he clears it out of play... Even unintentional... GOOD call by the refs.
