The Casual, For all the marbles, Game 7 ECF GDT

Even without McKee, this team can win this game. They've faced adversity, and played their tails off to get to this point.
Let's Go, Buffalo... Take the middle finger the hockey gods have given you, break it off, and shove it up their *****.

I
Still
Believe.

Do you?

I
Still
Believe.

Do you?

I believe.

Go get 'em, boys...

I Believe!!!!! Get-er-done!!!

Game 7 provides fitting finale for Sabres, Hurricanes (http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news;_ylt=Amjm8NDL5UjBs10llXKOkBt7vLYF?slug=ap-sabres-hurricanes&prov=ap&type=lgns)

Ruff wondered on Wednesday before the Sabres headed to Raleigh,
All I'm hearing is a bunch of excuses. The ice is no good, the air is no good, the water is no good, the refs are no good, the Sabres are no good. I'm looking at a team that's scurrying around looking for excuses.

I still believe.


But is it too early to start drinking?

War's over, man. Hockey gods dropped the big one.

Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go!


LET'S GO BUFFALO!

Err...I'll hold off on a prediction. I'll be watching, and hoping, and I'll leave it at that....

I definitely BELIEVE!!!

Revealed - Lindy's post game pep talk from Tuesday:

Lindy: We have won again. That is good! But what is best in hockey?
Janik: The open ice, fleet skating, puck on your stick, wind in your hair!
Lindy: Wrong! Mairsy, what is best in hockey?
Mairsy: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their fans!
Lindy: That is good.

LET'S GO BUFFALO!

hg's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these ********. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.

:eek:

I believe that this team can do anything....

Go Sabres!!!!! kick some Carolina butt....

Does Doug Weight know Pominville's first name yet? Maybe tonight he will find out?


Let's go Buffalo! Do it. I believe.

Time to build a Moldovian fortress around Miller and the net.
No Turk, Russian, Swede or 'Cane will penetrate the defenses.

Our boys will come out on the ice frothing at the mouth, mad dogs on a mission.
Seek and destroy! For 1 night the 'cane crest will be a bull'seye of destruction. A beacon for every Sabre to hone in on and obliterate. With the start of the hurricane season, the path of destruction will not be outside the arena, but inside the RBC center. One hurricane season begins, and one ends!

The power play WILL be effective tonight
A goalie change in the 2nd period will not boost their morale
The transition game will convert

No excuses, no whining about the ice, no crabbing about officiating! No excuses.
Not this time of year, not tonight. This is OUR time.

I believe!

These are games legends are made of.

DO YOU BELIEVE???

McKee out? Screw it. Take Briere, Drury and Hecht too. I don't care if all we've got is Derek Roy, Ales Kotalik and Adam Mair -- we'll take this one.

:eek:

*hg does a little mental arithmetic, trying to figure out whether there's time to build a tank out of her car & drive it to Raleigh*

Can you feel it?
Can you taste it?
Can you hear it knocking at your door?
How bad do you want it?
How bad do you need it?
Are you eating, sleeping, dreaming
With that one thing on your mind?
How bad do you want it?
How bad do you need it?
Cause if you want it all
You've got to lay it all out on the line

There's always a price you pay no matter what you do
If you're gonna climb that mountain to the top
It always comes down to

How bad do you want it?

Are you eating, sleeping, dreaming
With that one thing on your mind?
How bad do you want it?

FULL CHIN MODE TONIGHT! It better be on ever Sabres player tonight!! Get Mad Boys, Destroy, Bring the Pain!

Let's go Buffalo! Do it. I believe.

"It's kind of funny, he knows my last name because he hit me from behind." :biglaugh:

http://www.homevideos.com/freezeframes1203/dumb144.jpeg

So you're telling me there's a chance....

No Kalinin, no Tallinder, likely no Numminen, and possibly no McKee, playing in the other team's barn in a Game 7 that statistically speaking has been a home team win 74 out of 117 times. And this just for a chance to get to a well-rested, healthy team in the Finals... Wow.

Still no slogans, no predictions, no catchy quotes from me... I still have that quiet reserve that all is right with the world.

Breaking it back out again. The Myllz gurantee. Buffalo wins.

I still have that quiet reserve that all is right with the world.
I'm feeling that myself right now, and I'm not sure why. Not gonna complain, though.

Heart & Desire!

i want to believe

"I believe" is such a lame saying...

Are we talking about aliens here?

How about just "Gedd'er done".

One game, all signs pointing to a certain destiny for Buffalo. A heart breaking game 7 loss brought on my devestation to the blueline. But not tonight. For everything that has happened this season, this is where the nay sayers nay say no more and the doubters are silenced. This is the game where Buffalo becomes the team of destiny. Tonight is the night Buffalo curses are broken, tonight is the night where we find out just how special this team is, and tonight is the night where Sabres Nation parties like its 1999.

No excuses. Pure heart and will power on display. Tonight is OUR night.

Do you believe?

"I believe" is such a lame saying...

Are we talking about aliens here?

How about just "Gedd'er done".

It stands to reason that a Sens fan couldn't relate to having something to believe in. ;)

i fully support the idea that the sabres can and will win tonight.

I believe it!

Per Paul Hamilton, Teppo did NOT participate in morning skate.

It stands to reason that a Sens fan couldn't relate to having something to believe in. ;)

Yeah, it just sounds so soft though... Reminds me of that terrible song "I believe I can fly... I believe I can touch the sky..."

I believed in Santa Claus when I was a kid, didn't make him anymore real.

Right on Chain...

And knowing that no matter what happens, no matter where we stand at the end of tonight, no one anywhere can say that this hasn't been one helluva wonderful and thrilling ride.......never could anyone have expected back in september that these boys would have so much moxie and overcome so much adversity to force a game seven in the Eastern Conference Finals. Especially with the loss of so many key players, not just in these playoffs, but throughout the season. It's a testament to the team's character and their coaching staff :yo: .

LET'S GO BUFFALO!!! SHOW US THAT MOXIE!!!!!!

PLEASE don't shoot the messenger on this one.....

Tonights refs:

Devorski and Watson.

Help out a newbie like myself...what does this mean? Are they notorious for something?

PLEASE don't shoot the messenger on this one.....

Tonights refs:

We're gonna have to shoot someone :searches for other canes fans:

Sorry, its gotta be you.

This feels like old yeller all over again.

Hi I'm Jay freaking McKee, I need to get my *** in the lineup and not worry about a foot infection. Strap an IV to each arm and leg and let me go out there! I would not for the life of me pull a Bruce Smith and sit out unless I lost both arms and legs or were dead. Put me in coach my teamates and city need me!

Without McKee there will be around 5-10 shots that will make their way to Miller that would normally be blocked. Miller needs to give his best performance yet because when Lydman's not out there he's going to be on an island all by himself.

I may be a fan of the Oilers but you gotta give a lot of respect to what the Sabres have done so far in the playoffs and I fully expect the Sabres to find a way to win this game.

Miller will be even better (it is possible), Lydman and Campbell will do their best impression of Niedermeyer and Lidstrom in playing huge minutes tonight, and the rest of the defense will suck it up and play the games of their life.

On top of that the forwards will be even more responsible then usual, as they know they will be looked to tonight. Ward is good, but if the Sabres will send enough traffic his way to throw him off his game. The kid can't stop what he can't see.

My prediction...
4-3 Sabres in OT

NO OT !!!!!!

Whatever happens tonight please let it happen in regulation. I don't think I could handle OT.

Help out a newbie like myself...what does this mean? Are they notorious for something?

Not really.

PD's been in the NHL since 1989.
BW's since 1995

Career Playoff Games:
49 - Watson
102 - Devorski

PLEASE don't shoot the messenger on this one.....

Tonights refs:

Devorski and Watson.

That is the least of our worries right now.

I'm changing my avatar.

Good on ya. There is a weird mojo afoot tonight, my friends. Got to sink a taproot into it.

NO OT !!!!!!

Whatever happens tonight please let it happen in regulation. I don't think I could handle OT.

I'd be very happy with OT. I'm bracing myself for the worst, so if we can get this series to come down to one measly goal, I'm all for it. Considering the circumstances, I don't think the team would mind either.

id be very happy with a win

Man, this is insane.

I can't watch most of the game because i have to work 'till 9:30

I BELIEVE

per Yahoo sports...

Paetsch would become the 13th Sabres player to also make his NHL career playoff debut

:eek:

GO SABRES GO
GO SABRES GO
GO SABRES GO
GO SABRES GO
GO SABRES GO
GO SABRES GO
GO SABRES GO

OT would be insane.
Maybe too much for me to take. :dunno:
This makeshift squad should not be able force OT, but you never know what this team is capable of.
They have done it time and time again, over and over.

IMO, Buffalo must win in regulation.
If it goes to OT, they are done.

From my neck o' the woods...you have my sincerest best wishes.

Your team reminds me of mine; gone through too much **** to NOT make it to the finals. I believe when the final horn blows tonight, the Carolina crowd's gonna be somewhat somber. :handclap:

Grier FTW!

Man, this is insane.

I can't watch most of the game because i have to work 'till 9:30

I BELIEVE

id quite my job for this game

My whole reason for being is because of this game!!! :bow:

I work untill 8:30 (7:30 ET), so I'll be home probably in the later half of the 2nd period.

Not too bad I guess, but being at work is going to kill me!

One game.
One goal.
One shot.


Do you ****ing believe?

Ric Flair sucks too

More than ever, they've gotta score the first goal and get some confidence. I think they can do this. There are so many guys waiting for a breakout game -- Maxy, Soupcan (offensively), mabye Grier or Pyatt or Goose can finally bury one -- and Roy and Poms can both score in bunches on a good night. Maybe MIller can stand on his head. Yep - I think they can do this. Count me in.

Do you ****ing believe? I'll be honest, when I first heard that McKee was out I freaked out and wondered just how slim our hopes were. Now I believe that anything is possible. In short, I believe!

For anyone still wondering about Nate's ankle, Paul Hamilton stated that he will in fact dress tonight.

Alright coming out of hiding for this one. Ryan Miller will be a stone wall, nothing gets by him. Pyatt and Maxi finally get those scoring chances to the back of the net!

We win, dammit!

RALEIGH, N.C.(AP) -- The Buffalo Sabres will be without yet another defenseman for tonight's Game Seven against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Veteran Jay McKee, Buffalo's best defensive player, didn't make the trip to Raleigh yesterday due to a seriously infected cut
on his shin.

After the team's morning skate today, Coach Lindy Ruff announced that McKee definitely won't be playing tonight, leaving the Sabres down four regular defensemen.

Teppo Numminen is hampered by a hip injury and had a setback after being limited to playing only four minutes in Game Six. The sabres confirmed to Channel 2's Adam Benigni that Numminen definately won't play in game 7 either.

Buffalo is also without injured defensemen Henrik Tallinder and Dmitri Kalinin.

Nathan Paetsch will take McKee's place on the Sabres bench. Paetsch played in Rochester this season. The defensemen for the Sabres will consist of Brian Campbell, Toni Lydman, Rory Fitzpatrick, Doug Janik, Jeff Jilson, and Paetsch for game 7.

The best-of-seven Eastern Conference final is tied at three-all after the Sabres' overtime win in Buffalo on Tuesday night.

Habs fan here. Fellow Upstate New Yorker as well.

I have one thing to say.

LET'S GO BUFFALO!

I've been a Habs fan since I was small (thanks dad, may you rest in peace). I remember being read The Hockey Sweater before I went to bed at night.

I happen to be from Erik Cole's hometown. He went to the same high school as I did. Although I was a couple of years ahead of him, he was on the team when I graduated. Nice kid, nice family.

You would think this would make me a de facto Hurricanes fan. Not even close.

I love everything Erik Cole has done. But he's not on this team, and even if he was, I don't know if I could cheer for them even if that meant that the Stanley Cup would be at the Harborfest parade this summer. I hate Rod Brind'amour, I hate the "mercenaries" (Doug Weight, Mark Recchi, etc.). I hate Justin Williams, Matt Cullen, and the Adamses. Cam Ward is money, but I've seen him in the AHL and have no bitter feelings towards him. I hate Eric Staal. To the point where I wouldn't have him on my fantasy team if you gave him to me.

I hate Peter Laviolette, his attitude, and everything about that team. I hate their fans.

I've always had a soft spot for the Sabres. Most of my friends who are extremely knowledgeable hockey fans are Sabres fans. The stupid ones like the Rangers (OMG Mark Messier, Jaromir Jagr lol), and now the Hurricanes. My first live NHL playoff game was a Sabres game. Hockey belongs in Western NY, it belongs in Buffalo. The Cup belongs in Buffalo. I'm not a big Tom Golisano fan as a person, but he gets carte blanche from me pretty much for keeping the Sabres there.

I love Rick Jeanerette, I remember Mayday. I remember watching Game 6 of the 1999 finals at a friend's house, on one of my first dates with my now soon-to-be wife and seeing lifelong friends nearly cry after that goal.

I was a big Oil fan (along with the Habs, of course) growing up in the 80s. No offense to you Sabres fans, but I could live with Edmonton winning the Cup. I'd be happy for them, thrilled for the great Canadian fans on this board.

But if Carolina wins, I'm breaking things.

I'm thinking about going out tonight to watch this game, and sitting below the framed Erik Cole jersey, just to see the bandwagoners cry when Drury nails it home in dooouuubbbblllleeeee oooovvvvveeerrrtttiiiimmmmeeeee!

LET'S GO SABRES!

I remember being read The Hockey Sweater before I went to bed at night.
OT- but have you ever seen the animated short? It's worth picking up.

Well, my work called me and said i only have to work 'till 9.......so i guess i should be able to see most, if not all of the 3rd period.

If they win I'm headin to Buffalo with a couple friends for game 1 or 2.

I BELIEVE

Jade, that's beautiful...i love it.Sniff::Sniff- it is, isn't it? ;)

ANY ONE NOTICE IT SAYS HELP HURRICANE VICTIMS ON THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE????

If my monitor is broken now just wait till I keep seeing this over and over again

Its gonna end up in the road....

OT- but have you ever seen the animated short? It's worth picking up.

Ah, the ironies of text matching.

Life's this game of inches. So is hockey.

Because in either game - life or hockey - the margin for error is so small. I mean, hit 'em half a second too late or too early and you get whistled. Half a second too slow, too fast and you don't quite nail the one-timer.

The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when add up all those inches, that's gonna make the ****ing difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!

In any fight, it's the guy whose willing to die whose gonna win that inch. Now, I can't make you do it. You've got to look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes. Now I think ya going to see a guy who will go that inch with you. You're gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team, because he knows when it comes down to it, you're gonna do the same for him.

That's a team gentlemen, and either, we heal as a team, or we will die as individuals. That's hockey, guys, that's all it is.

Now what are you gonna do?

Ahh, screw it.. I'm coming out of lurk mode to say..

I BELIEVE! LET'S GO BUFFALO!

All right, went to the liquor store, got my Labatt.

Went to the post office, got my Do You Believe/Scary Good shirt in the mail.

All is right with the world, and I believe.

Ahh, screw it.. I'm coming out of lurk mode to say..

I BELIEVE! LET'S GO BUFFALO!


Welcome!

Nice avatar :yo:

Something to lighten the mood, from this morning on the London Underground.

A Leafs fan, with a full set of golf clubs. How perfectly priceless :biglaugh:

FORE! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v472/juniotf/autumn.jpg)

Alcohol is in, tension is rising, I'm stoked. LET'S GO BUFFALO.

Could be a classic game tonight.
And I mean "classic" in the true sense of the word.
This could be a game thats replayed on TV twenty years from now and you'll all turn to your kids or grandkids and say, "I remember that game. That was the greatest game I ever saw. That was the greatest team I ever saw."
This could be the quintessential moment of an unbelievable dramatic story.
A team flirting with bankruptcy in a blue collar town of sports heartache... picked to finish in the bottom of a pile... a bunch of nobodys... injuries after injuries...
This could be a night of dreams.
This could be a night of heros and goats.
This could be their night, our night, your night.

Go Sabres!

Let´s go out and kick some ***** :yo:

LET`S GO BUFF-ALO

GO SABRES GO

I've seen it, but do not own it. Is it available on DVD?
VHS definatly Go to the Canadian Film board web site and you should be able to find it.

LET'S GO BUF-FA-LO!

this is a phenomenal opportunity for the buffalo organization, for several reasons

Nathan Paetsch on WGR...

sounds excited but very loose and calm.
I like it.

Go Paetsch!

LET'S GO BUFFALO!!!!!!

This game is so much bigger then its being hyped to be...

approx. 45 minutes to go. The time can't go fast enough. GO SABRES!!!!

This game is so much bigger then its being hyped to be...
Tell me about it. Its game seven of a conference final and you would think someone would have a pre game show . Nope, nothing. Nobody wants to come on board. Nobody wants anything to do with the NHL.

With all the newbs, I'm gonna risk it. Gameday chat for the biggest game of the year!

www.sabresinsider.com/chat

If we happen to get flooded with trolls (which i doubt from Canes fans), use /ignore username, very very useful.

I believe!

All right, I just got done watching Miracle, now I'm listening to the music from the battle scene from The Chronicles of Narnia...I'm ready.

I know we've gone through all of the inspiring quotes, especially from Miracle, but there was one other that I wanted to include, just in case the ride ends tonight.

Patty Brooks: Herb, there's no disgrace in losing to this team.
Herb Brooks: Yeah, I know.
Patty Brooks: The important thing is, you got this far.
Herb Brooks: The important thing?
Herb Brooks: The important thing is that those twenty boys know in twenty years, they didn't leave anything on the table. They played their hearts out. That's the important thing.

Knowing this team, so far they've played their hearts out and I don't think any of them have left anything on the table. And win or lose, you can't ask for anything more than that.

Time to bust out a rum and coke and turn on the tube. Tonight's the night for greatness!

DID YOU EDIT THE ROSTERS THOUGH?!?!?!?!? :cry: :cry: :cry:

So here's my question: Do I tune into the game at 7:30 and listen to the pre-game banter (likely about McKee), or just keep the volume off until the puck drops?

IF only ................. :eek:

there less than 4% alcohol though. go with Pabst Blue Ribbon for the best cheap beer on the planet

im working on the 12 pack of Mich Ultra because the college years were not good to my mid section.

lol. I will def keep those in mind, other cheap ones that me and my buddies go after are busch, old milawakees( :help: ) and natty ice...

Wait till the puck drops. Haven't we all had enough pre game ?

Good job JB ..... :D

Wait till the puck drops. Haven't we all had enough pre game ?

That's exactly what I was thinking. Can't hear anymore about our "problems". Now I need to stay occupied for 10 more minutes, hah.

lol. I will def keep those in mind, other cheap ones that me and my buddies go after are busch, old milawakees( :help: ) and natty ice...

yea Busch and Pabst are where its at. When i lived up North you couldn't beat 10.99 30 packs

lol. I will def keep those in mind, other cheap ones that me and my buddies go after are busch, old milawakees( :help: ) and natty ice...

it's like my freshman year of college all over again :eek:

I'm pacing around the freakin' living room...shouldn't be this nervous, because realistically I will (should?) be happy no matter what happens because it's been a great year and you can't really ask for anything more...but damn....more would be nice.

OK i'm starting to freak out more now.

I think Drury is going to come up huge tonight, this is exactly the game we got him for right here.

That Anthem singer needs a nice slap on the bum.

Let's put on the foil boys! Make it a dogfight!

All on the line. Balls out tonight. Let's go, Sabs!

wOOt !!!!!!!!!! :yo:


PLEASE !!!!!!!!!

Ugh. That was some ugly stuff, from Ward down through Soupy

All our breakouts are falling to Grier, :(

Seriously, just hold on through this early barrage

Buffalo is looking really good early on.

Darnit.

1-0 Canes...long way to go yet tho.

Fooking A!

Ah ffs, when luck is down, that sorta stuff happens.

Nothing can be done, let's go score.

1-0 Carolina.

crazy deflections

1-0 Carolina.

Tell that galaxy far, far away...that they can have you back.

1-0 Carolina.
Is that you in your picture? :biglaugh: Oh man, what a freaking tool.

Is It Me Or Was This The Fastest Period I Have Ever Witnessed?

Is It Me Or Was This The Fastest Period I Have Ever Witnessed?

I agree. Uber fast. Some of those Buffalo forwards were playing with it all hanging out. I liked to see that. Carolina's goal was a flukey piece of junk. We're still in it.

Is that you in your picture? :biglaugh: Oh man, what a freaking tool.
word

So if I'm in the Sabres room... I'm thinking is that all the Canes have got?

Close period. Canes had the better chances. Paetsch, Janik and Jillson played better than Fitzpatrick.

Is that you in your picture? :biglaugh: Oh man, what a freaking tool.

qft

Even though we're down in the first,I am liking how we are playing.Briere will net one in the second you just watch...

My money's on Drury. He was itching for a goal the whole period.

So if I'm in the Sabres room... I'm thinking is that all the Canes have got?
That is what I thought too, and that goal was such a fluke - off two Sabres and one Cane and in .....

I know it still counts, but ......



Let's Go Buffalo !!!!!!!

So if I'm in the Sabres room... I'm thinking is that all the Canes have got?

Yeah. One flukey goal in front the home crowd on a banged up defense...I'm not impressed. Briere and Drury both looked close to netting a couple. This is their night. Make it count, boys.

I want Paetsch to net one he had a good shot in the first and his name is cool :)

That was some uninspired hockey. They better come with more than that or its going to be a long night.

WHAT ??? are you talking about ..... :dunno:


Buffalo came out ready to play, yeah they need to score, but they had a few chances.

Give 'em some time here, they are playing with a depleted line-up here

Slow on the offside whistle much? :shakehead

LAY IT ON THE LINE

what a team effort there

OK, if Tim's better enough to fly with them, we have to win.

nice action, what a save by miller

Miller is doing everything tonight, now if they can get one past Ward....

God this is domination...

effing Cam Ward. :rant:

please God let us score

You have got to be kidding me.

What a game. I don' want this one to end.

HOLY HECHT BATMAN!!!

Wow, that's something.

There's some incredible effort going on defensively, some players doing their all on offense but the commitment from the Sabres in their own zone is so far immense, just give the biggest 20 minutes of your lives now guys.

What a game. I don' want this one to end.


Oh i do. Right now would be good.

Yeah!!!!!!!!!

Do you bbbbbeeeeelllliiiiiieeeevvvvvveeeeee!!!

All the have to do is win the third...

Theres Life!!! Ward looks shaken.

Comon Boys 1 more Period to go.

DON'T CALL THIS A COMEBACK!

Hecht gonna knock you out....
Janik gonna knock you out...
Lindy said knock you out...
Sabres gonna knock you out!

Oh my freakin god....I can't believe they are up. They played SO BAD the majority of that period...they gotta have Carolina thinking right about now.

Oh i do. Right now would be good.

Agreed.

I've been nervous to post much but a small lead has given me the courage. Please, please, PLEASE do not go into a shell, our defense will be gutted.

MILLER

TIME

Wow, that's something.

Very, very good assesment. That is exactly whats goin on. I can't add to what you said that is perfect

Campbell better get ready to play more than half this period.. Lydman has been shaky at best.

At least the other guys look decent, but man the Sabres are scrambling around in their own zone. This team is ****ing wicked, I have been pimping the Sabres (and Briere) to my Canuck friends all season long.

Miller must shine this 3rd period! PLAY HARD BOYS!!! NO DRAGGING THE FEET!!!

Man, talk about your basic grand theft second. That save by Miller really turned the tables on the period. :clap: :clap: :clap:

No Defensive Shell!!!!! Keep Pressing Until The Final Buzzer!!!

Oh i do. Right now would be good.
call this game, due to rain ?!?!?!?!?




:D

Campbell better get ready to play more than half this period.. Lydman has been shaky at best.

Lydman shaky? That's just nonsense...

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE STAY OUT OF THE BOX THIS PERIOD!!!!!! PLAY SMART, PLAY HARD! :bow:

All I can say is:


DO YOU BELIEVE!!!!!! :handclap: :handclap: :handclap:

This team doesn't know the word "quit"!

Keep the pressure on Ward...another softie!!!!!

....SHOOT THE ******* PUCK! :teach: :teach: :teach:

my god, shaking.

20 minutes and up a goal, let's do this!


LET'S DO THIS!!

Dear lord, that Simpson chick is brutal! :biglaugh:

call this game, due to rain ?!?!?!?!?




:D


It's raining in Boston, works for me :D

20 Minutes Buffalo!!!! Let's Make It Happen!!!!!!!!!!!!! Charge!!!!

Win or lose tonight, Paetsch should get a spot on this team next year. Janik...ehhh, a goal tonight to show his efforts but Paetsch is working hard and making plays when he needs to.

It's raining in Boston, works for me :D
rain, thunder and lightning in NYC

it keeps making the picture skip and freeze

...but it's HD so I'm not complaining too loud

Dear lord, that Simpson chick is brutal! :biglaugh:

amen!!!!!

did anyone just see that pathetic interview on oln. That chic reporter is smiling and blisfully asking the cains player stupid questions. I thought he was going to punch her in the mouth. That interview would have been hillarious if it was a Buffalo reporter because her questions almost sounded like she was tooling him

Win or lose tonight, Paetsch should get a spot on this team next year. Janik...ehhh, a goal tonight to show his efforts but Paetsch is working hard and making plays when he needs to.

Paetsch has really impressed me tonight. I haven't worried yet seeing him out there.

OMFG, this is awesome. I've never been more thrilled in my life. Despite not having too many offensive chances, we're up 2-1 going into the 3rd. The whole team is playing f'in awesome and Miller's save on Staal was awesome! :bow:

I can't wait for the 3rd period to start up, LETS GO BUFFALO!!!!

DO YOU BELIEVE?!

I have a question that i hate to ask but i need to know.

When the sabres win tonight, when do tickets go on sale for the stanley cup?

Is it tomorrow? If so what time? I have to go get in line very soon. :yo: :yo: :yo:

Paetsch has really impressed me tonight. I haven't worried yet seeing him out there.


He looks confident and is sketing well. Awsome effort. (although saying two periods of play earned him a spot next year is purly "of the moment excitement" but hell lets enjoy it)

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

do you realize in game 5 or 6 against toronto in 99 there were already 3-4000 people in line at the arena at this time? and over 40 people at the Tops on elmwood.

I have a question that i hate to ask but i need to know.

When the sabres win tonight, when do tickets go on sale for the stanley cup?

Is it tomorrow? If so what time? I have to go get in line very soon. :yo: :yo: :yo:
GGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR............. ..................

stop with the jinx thing, there is no such thing

bah, awful start to the period

I have a question that i hate to ask but i need to know.

When the sabres win tonight, when do tickets go on sale for the stanley cup?

Is it tomorrow? If so what time? I have to go get in line very soon. :yo: :yo: :yo:
Thanks for the jinx, yo. :madfire:

not gona be easy, we still got this

Nice hold Wesley!!! :madfire: :madfire: :madfire:

next goal wins...

the linesmen in this game absolutely suck.

I just want to express my love for Soupy right now. I don't think it's said enough.

"I believe" is such a lame saying...

Are we talking about aliens here?

How about just "Gedd'er done".

I believe in Crystal Lite. Cuz I believe in me !

I'm also full of love for Max right now. He's playing his butt off tonight. And Adam Mair, and Taylor Pyatt, and Paul Gaustad.

Ok I love everyone. (and Labatt Blue)

Very, very good assesment. That is exactly whats goin on. I can't add to what you said that is perfect

You could have said something like "It's pure sweetness baby!"

Gotta be more creative.

what a cheap **** ****ing ******** call!

****in ******** call!! His stick was hit by the caine players stick causing the deflection

Have to be smarter then that.

Heres Going To Be One Of The Biggest Penalty Kills Of Our Franchises History....

JD has been saying all season how this stupid penalty is going to have an effect on the outcome of a playoff series. If Carolina scores here, whoever came up with this rule should be stoned in public. I HATE this penalty.

We could use a shorty right now.

it's supposed to be a judgement call now. 2-2 third in game 7...you've got to be ****ing kidding me

well that's dumb...how about a powerplay for the sabres that lasts more than 30 seconds?....total horsesh*t

oh crap. :cry:

Oh nuts, everyone just lost the puck in that crowd.

Time to crank it back up.

What a ****ing dumb *** rule.

I'm embarrassed to have Rory Fitzpatrick on my team.

He has sucked this game bad.

**** **** **** :madfire: :madfire: :madfire: :madfire: :madfire:

I haven't been banggin on Miller at all but come on

:cry:

Just terrible. Such a cheap, cheap way to (possibly) end an amazing series.

I haven't been banggin on Miller at all but come on
you give someone like Brind'amour all that time that close in front, and expect him to miss? get real.

I hate that rule...

Considering I am a Canucks fan first, this game is killing me...

JD, shut the **** up. what a ******* homie. do you just like to hear yourself talk?

oh my, this is absolutely massive

Huge would be an understatement here...

Big chance here......

Come on boyzzz!!!

I can't breathe

Drury time

Drury time
and then Miller time.

What a suck azz power play!!!

BIG BIG MINUTE

make it happen....someone

So angry..

Sigh... this feels like being eliminated twice now. This one is almost worse.

Well that's it.

Congrats Carolina, you've done the East proud.
