Go Sabres!!

[Sabres244]

sorry ckg, I could'nt wait anymore.

Injuries: Tuckers,Wellwood,White, Pony and others out for Toronto. Drury is expected to play for Buffalo.

[Bay Side]

8-2-1 vs. the Leafs: Since the lock-out!!!
How many games have the Queefs won in the HSBC arena??

[bduff54]

jesus, look at those injuries. this should be a massacre

[smashingt2312]

:sabres:

[beTough54]

Is the MSG picture a bit funny for anyone else?

A couple minutes in, no real good scoring chances yet.

[beTough54]

Battaglia to the box for a lazy hold.

[beTough54]

Another stupid penalty from the king of stupid penalties McCabe.

No matter their actual age, the Leafs will always be slow, old, and stupid.

[beTough54]

Ruff really needs to teach the Sabres how to deal with high pressure PKs.

[Denverbillsfan]

How the hell can a team look so bad on a 5-3 pp?????? I would not have believe it humanly possible if I didn't see it myself.

[bduff54]

yeah pretty bad PP for a great team. good job by gill, he hung in there. good energy in the building.

[bduff54]

bad miss by sunding on a gimme

[bduff54]

nice save biron on a rocket from Kilger.

[Denverbillsfan]

Way too many turnovers by Buffalo so far.

[JLB]

Let's go boys!

[bduff54]

pretty boring game so far, leafs are playing it real tight. probably a smart move by maurice considering the lineup.

[Denverbillsfan]

Sabres on their heels for the last 5 minutes of the period.

[Sabres244]

Buffalo 17 hits
Toronto 10 hits

[bduff54]

brutal give away by lydman, gorgeous pass by sundin to o'neill. 1-0 Toronto

[Denverbillsfan]

2nd horrible turnover by Lydman tonight. That one hurt.

[JLB]

brutal give away by lydman, gorgeous pass by sundin to o'neill. 1-0 Toronto

Sounds like crap

[bduff54]

1-1 vanek socres on the pp. scramble

[Iggy72]

The Sabres just scored on the PP???

Pax.
Iggy72

[JLB]

Thats better kick the shit out of em.

[BlackRockBills]

Vanek just tapped home a rebound as he was getting crosschecked right in front of the net. Real gutsy goal, stood in there and took the hit but managed to get control and tap it through. 1-1.

Sabres giving it away a little bit, now...

Belak and three Sabres jawing at each other in front of Marty.

[BlackRockBills]

Max called for interference on some bull$3!! in the Sabres zone. Crowd goin crazy.

[BlackRockBills]

so leafs on the PP, 9:10 left in the second

[BlackRockBills]

marty making showstopper saves with the left glove!

[BlackRockBills]

killed. pk looking real strong! killed off a 5-on-3 earlier in the period, too.

[BlackRockBills]

leafs to the pp again, tripping on briere, late call, all the toronto fans call for it, refs call it as sabres start the other way

6:11 left

questionable officiating

lydman huge on the PK

[foster]

Still trying to figure out the Max call. Looked like what Hockey's supposed to be all about. 2 guys fighting for the puck and .....???

[BlackRockBills]

damn leafs make it hurt

kubina scores with 7 seconds left on the pk

[Denverbillsfan]

Never should have been a penalty in the first place.

[bduff54]

nope it was a bad call, but the leafs are really dominating right now. Sabres are tired.

[BlackRockBills]

yeah, got away with a dive, but sabres definitely got rocked last period

shots were 15-4 toronto, and three of buffalo's were on the PP

[Denverbillsfan]

Sabres have whiffed on so many pucks tonight. Just amazing

[foster]

They seemed gassed from last night's game / travel.

[Denverbillsfan]

It's a short trip and they get paid to show up. So lets earn some of that green guys.

[pigpen65]

WTF is up with Drury? Worst game as a Sabre. Completely stopped skating on Tonto's 4th goal. Not to mention the mess he made of the 5 on 3.

[beTough54]

Yeah, I bet contract talks aren't going so well with him. Probably has California on the mind.

[bduff54]

i think drury is hurting after yesterday

[anEinherjer]

I'd like to see someone chuck a beer at that ass hole who keeps standing up along the sightline towards Biron. Our house needs to be a little more hostile to the roach-like queef fans.

[Meathead]

whoa

leafs played well 2nite

[CrazzyLegs10]

nothing more embarrassing than walking out of HSBC with the chant, "hey heyy hey, goooodbye" I hope everyone is happy that sold their tickets, guess you should go eat Toronto's balls

[Acoustic-Fury]

i think drury is hurting after yesterday

:rolleyes2

Yea...he owned Sundin on the faceoff for most of the night, looked like he wanted it more than any other Sabre out there,he had a goal and took 2nd star honors.
