GDT: 5/13 - BUF vs OTT - Playoff Game 5

[beTough54]

I'm trying a different chair tonight just to be safe ;)

[Drury23]

do it

[Bay Side]

I'll do the same!!

[Ralonzo]

You gotta change something up. I banged a different whore, for instance.

[Millertime27]

3-2 sabres

[foster]

Let's bring back the determination from games 1-3 (and period 2 of 4) mix it with our speed, discipline and some Millertime!

Let's Go Buffalo!

OOH AAH, SABRES ON THE WARPATH!!

[Iggy72]

I'm getting excited and nervous at the same time. On top of that, it's our school's prom tonight, and I promised the Gr. 12s that I'd be there. So, I'm going to miss at least the 3rd period. A friend of mine did say he'd call me on my cell to update me, so that should be interesting.

Pax.
Iggy72

[Meathead]

i rubbed out a lefty

[beTough54]

Bandits update: Tavares scores on a long distance shot to finally get something positive going. 2-1 Mammoths.

[CupCrazy]

You gotta change something up. I banged a different whore, for instance.
Now THAT's taking one for the team!

Sabres close out the series tonight. 4-2 with an empty netter.

Let's GO Buffalo!!!

[beTough54]

Bandits update

It's pretty ugly right now, 5-1 Mammoths on some weak goals. Sims for the Mammoths is a huge diver.

[sabrebraves]

Is the game on MSG tonight, or should i watch it on CBC??

[beTough54]

It is on MSG

[sabrebraves]

Nevermind it is!

[beTough54]

One thought: should we play the Canes next round if we win this round, do the Sabres still start with "Rock me like a Hurricane?"

[sabrebraves]

One thought: should we play the Canes next round if we win this round, do the Sabres still start with "Rock me like a Hurricane?"

I was just thinking that lol

[beTough54]

The RAV line is back... interesting.

Drury Grier Kotalik
Roy Vanek Afinogenov
Gaustad Pyatt Pominville
Briere Dumont Hecht

[sabrebraves]

I look for that Gaustad line to set the tone early as well.

[CupCrazy]

The RAV line is back... interesting.

Drury Grier Kotalik
Roy Vanek Afinogenov
Gaustad Pyatt Pominville
Briere Dumont Hecht

Vanek better show up tonight. That RAV line has been a liability defensively in the past. I thought Roy was really excellent with Drury & Grier, but Coach Ruff knows what he's doing.

Let's GO Buffalo!!!

[Iggy72]

They've broken up the Drury-Grier-Roy line. I assume it's because of the fact that Ottawa has last change and that Vanek is in the game.

Pax.
Iggy72

[sabrebraves]

The drop of the puck and we're underway Go Sabres!!!!!!!!!

[Iggy72]

Koharski and O'Hallaran are the refs, if you're wondering.

Pax.
Iggy72

[Iggy72]

Henrik!!!!!

Pax.
Iggy72

[sabrebraves]

Tallinder!!!!!!!!!! 1-0 Buffalo

[CupCrazy]

GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tallinder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ralonzo]

That's a good sign. Redden with the big screen.

[beTough54]

Game On!

Tallinder!

1-0 Buffalo and Emery already looks bad!

[Iggy72]

Great forechecking by Drury's line.

Pax.
Iggy72

[beTough54]

RJ is already complaining about Neil, who punched McKee in the face after the whistle. Bullshit already.

[Ralonzo]

Now why the hell does Buffalo not get a power play from that Neil punch abou 4 seconds after the whistle?

There's playing on the edge, that was about 3 strides over it. Just like last game.

[CupCrazy]

And the refs are off to another great start.

ugh.

[beTough54]

Schafer to the box for goaltender interference, if the Sabres get one here...

[CupCrazy]

Hmmm...powerplay for the Sabres.

Make it count, boys!

[Iggy72]

Schaeffer with goalie interference.

Pax.
Iggy72

[Hockeystud1414]

Cheap shot by neil! GO CHRIS NEIL! Hell, that's what you get if you want enforcers out of hockey....proving that every single person who doesn't like goons or thinks fighting should leave hockey are biast pussys who have no reason to live.

[beTough54]

haha JL: "Chara is wound up already"

Very true. Good save by Emery.

[Iggy72]

Patience and puck movement on this PP. Good save by Emery, but no one's in front.

Pax.
Iggy72

[beTough54]

15 seconds left on the PP

[Ralonzo]

I must say, Ottawa learned something last game. They fagged everyone after the whistles with a stick or punch and didn't get called once. So today, they're doing it twice as often and twice as late, and still no repercussions. It's pretty dumb.

[Scary Good]

Chara is a dirty *****.

[beTough54]

Vanek's playoff beard is intense.

[beTough54]

Rare giveaway by Numminen, Vermette wastes it with a lousy shot.

[Iggy72]

Miller looked confident on that one.

Pax.
Iggy72

[mosuavea]

Campbell got caught

[Ralonzo]

Emery looks as bad as Miller looks good so far. Look at those monster rebounds.

[Iggy72]

Campbell pinches; Miller bails him out.

Pax.
Iggy72

[beTough54]

Miller gloves a Schaefer shot!

The Sens really kick up the forecheck when Campbell and Rory are out there together, understandably.

[beTough54]

Already a bad defensive play from Vanek but in fairness he was at the end of a shift.

[Iggy72]

Nice move by McKee to avoid the hit. Vanek's not looking confident yet.

Pax.
Iggy72

[mosuavea]

Already a bad defensive play from Vanek but in fairness he was at the end of a shift.

He ALWAYS looks like hes at the end of a shift!

[Meathead]

damn i was playing guitar and missed the beginning 33 sec holy cow

[Iggy72]

I'm really impressed with Grier's play so far.

Pax.
Iggy72

[sabrebraves]

Whats up with the lines, how come they are shuffled already?

[mosuavea]

Whats up with the lines, how come they are shuffled already?

I think Jim mentioned something about Jochen not on the ice

[Ralonzo]

More Ottawa pogeying.

Miller tripped in the paint again. These refs = Game 4 refs.

And then he calls THAT??? Oh my God. This ludicrous. Redden himself has done that 10 times already this game.

[beTough54]

He ALWAYS looks like hes at the end of a shift!

He actually was this time though ;)

Hecht yet to take a shift according to JL, sitting on bench though.

[beTough54]

The Sabres called for holding after Chara punches Pyatt in the face a few times and tackles him.

Damn that is a bullshit call.

[mosuavea]

Ill tell you what, Chara just gave up on that Pyatt play just now and he looks like a frustrated tired player already

[beTough54]

Rory out on the kill...

[mosuavea]

Rory out on the kill...

WOW these refs are un****ing real

[Meathead]

undisciplined penalty dude

[sabrebraves]

wow, nice reffing again

[Ralonzo]

Alright, I'm gonna say it. The fix is in. Ottawa is allowed to deliver cheap shots after the whistle, clear their crease, clear our crease, and if the Sabres do anything at all they're in a 5-on-3??? This is absolute bullshit.

1-1. Fix, fix, fix. Last game was tender love compared to this prison rape from the league offices.

[beTough54]

Holy ****ing hell that is the biggest piece of shit call of this series full of piece of shit calls.

Where was the ****ing dive on Eaves there? Bull ****ing shit.

Yet another 5X3 for the Sens.

[mosuavea]

undisciplined penalty dude

But Chris Niels wasnt?

[Iggy72]

Crap.

Pax.
Iggy72

[Meathead]

miller usually sticks those toes out i wonder why he didnt there

[beTough54]

**** this shit.

How the **** can you win when the refs go out of their way to give the other team every single possible advantage in the game?

This is a ****ing joke.

[sabrebraves]

im not usually a conspiracy theorist, but im almost starting to think the NHL doesnt want this series over yet....because one other series is already done, and carolina is on the verge as well

[Iggy72]

I have to admit; that call of Fitz was iffy.

Pax.
Iggy72

[Meathead]

spec-*******in-tacular save

miller stacks the pads and throws himself in front of the nice cross ice pass

unreal

[mosuavea]

Id be fine with the call if they would call Ottawa one friggin time for after the play stuff.

[beTough54]

RJ: "Apparently its only alright at one end of the ice."

After Chara slams his stick into the face of Dumont in a play eerily similar to Rory's stick accidentally coming up near the face of Eaves.

****ing joke.

[Ralonzo]

It's tough not to buy the conspiracy. Buffalo was leading and dominating right up until the zebras decided they needed to get their good Canadian boyz back in the game. Not to mention that Ottawa is allowed to deliver anything they want in term of a cheapshot after the play. I've seen slashes, punches, crosschecks, and that was in the first 5 minutes of this game. Not to mention the entirety of last game.

[Iggy72]

Cole/Neale: "There have been a lot of scrums after the play. Pretty soon, these refs will pick one and send them to the box."

Hmm...

Pax.
Iggy72

[sabrebraves]

another sens pp wow

[mosuavea]

Now that was undisciplined

[Meathead]

this is exactly what it was like in the flyers and sens boards oh the refs are trying to steal this wah wah wah

[sabrebraves]

Its funny cause it just happened to briere

[emo]

and the uneven officiating continues

ok on teh replay what a stupid frigging plays by pyatt, and fitzpatrick

[beTough54]

So we aren't calling blatant ****ing crosschecks either? Amazing.

NO ****ING WAY.

Pyatt gets a penalty for hitting someone cleanly. This is unreal. Usually they try to disguise fixes... they aren't even trying.

[Ralonzo]

Cole/Neale: "There have been a lot of scrums after the play. Pretty soon, these refs will pick one and send them to the box."

Hmm...

Pax.
Iggy72

Yeah, as soon as that one is a Sabre.

Pyatt to the box for, uhh, doing exactly what was done to Afinogenov?

I'm frankly shocked they didn't say Miller used his mind-power to deflect that puck off the rink and award the 5-on-3.

[mosuavea]

this is exactly what it was like in the flyers and sens boards oh the refs are trying to steal this wah wah wah

Dude how can you argue Rorys penalty was fair when Neil didnt get one?

[beTough54]

Have the Sens even had a 5X5 shot?

[mosuavea]

Have the Sens even had a 5X5 shot?

Theyve gotten owned 5x5

[Iggy72]

Jay with blocked shot #33.

Pax.
Iggy72

[mosuavea]

too many men ottawa

[Ralonzo]

Theyve gotten owned 5x5

They've gotten owned 5-on-4 too. The only goals they're scoring are on these endless and incomprehensible 5-on-3's. What is that, 3 in the last 3 games, each well over a minute? Yeah, that's likely.

[Iggy72]

Bad change by the Sens = Sabres PP.

Pax.
Iggy72

[beTough54]

Ha, they somehow find it in their hearts to call the Sens for a too many men penalty only after giving them a good 7-8 seconds to try to fix it.

Time for the Sabres to do some damage on the PP.

[Iggy72]

Pierre McGuire once talked of "hockey justice". I think because of that, the boys are due for a PP goal. This time, perhaps?

Pax.
Iggy72

[emo]

the sabres need to realize that they are not going to get any calls and play smarter, period. pyatt hit was clearly a penalty, rory should have been smarter and not hit a player int eh face with his stick in front of the official

and while I campaigned for vanek, he doesn't look good, he's playing tenative and scared

[mosuavea]

Pierre McGuire once talked of "hockey justice". I think because of that, the boys are due for a PP goal. This time, perhaps?

Pax.
Iggy72

We can only hope!

[emo]

I am amazed at the stuff chara gets away with

[mosuavea]

I am amazed at the stuff chara gets away with

He looks very slow to me tonight. Only matter of time before he gets a hook

[Iggy72]

I guess the hockey gods of justice are on a coffee break. ;)

Pax.
Iggy72

[beTough54]

No real threat on that PP.

[emo]

another ugly power play

[emo]

i love jim lorentz, he's absolutely right

for heavens sake

[mosuavea]

NHL circa 2003 has returned

[Iggy72]

End of one. Time to get ready for the school's prom tonight.

Pax.
Iggy72

[Ralonzo]

Another nice stick in Roy's face. Maybe he could have drawn attention to it, and gotten sent to the box himself.

[sabrebraves]

Lorentz: " Its awful...its awful officiating on both sides, and i dont know whats going on...its ridiculous...." And he's right... they are inconsistent and blow dogs for quarters.

[beTough54]

Roy punched in the face while he didn't have the puck, no call.

What a ****ing joke of a period.

JL: "Awful officiating for both sides, this is ridiculous"

[emo]

He looks very slow to me tonight. Only matter of time before he gets a hook
they won't call anything on him, and I have no idea why, but the reffing has been downright terrible again tonight

[Ralonzo]

End of one. Time to get ready for the school's prom tonight.


Is your date wearing black & white stripes? If so, you're sure to get fc*ked.

[Iggy72]

Any momentum the Sabres had was taken away by the 5 on 3. The first one was legit, but the second one is still bugging me, and I don't usually complain about reffing.

Pax.
Iggy72

[CupCrazy]

Y'know, I've never been one to complain much about the refs, but this is getting ridiculous.

[Iggy72]

Is your date wearing black & white stripes? If so, you're sure to get fc*ked.

*L* Nice one. :D

Pax.
Iggy72

[emo]

i wouldn't be upset if the sabres blew a 3-0 lead and lost this series because they got outplayed. But to potentially lose game after game because the officials decided that its ok for chara to hook and hold, and neal can punch and cross check whoever he pleases

[mosuavea]

Y'know, I've never been one to complain much about the refs, but this is getting ridiculous.


Just be consisten and fair no matter how many you are going to call!

Paul Hamilton said last game was the worst game hes seen reffed this year. I think he wants to renig that one

[Meathead]

sens are playing well. looks like game 2 so far except its tied this time

[Ralonzo]

It usually takes me awhile since one of our house league crews are so incredibly incompetent that I'm just inured. Incompetent I can handle. One-way incompetence can really get me riled, and I don't shut up, and I usually get a deuce because I actually have a vocabulary and they're never sure what it was I just called them.

[emo]

you tell 'em james patrick!!!

[beTough54]

Bandits Update

10-7 Mammoths with about 3 left in the 3rd Quarter.

[beTough54]

What did James Patrick say? I'm watching the Bandits game...

[foster]

Will the Sabres ever get a 5-3 power play....put this mystery up there with the pyramids. F'in A, they are getting hosed.

Have another donut you fat pig!

Rings true in any decade!

Let's Go Buffalo!

OOH AAH, SABRES ON THE WARPATH!

[beTough54]

I'm just so incredibly angry right now... can't imagine how the Sabres feel.

[Meathead]

donut classic

[Iggy72]

The boys should use their thoughts on the calls as motivation.

Besides, Emery isn't seeing that many shots. They could take advantage of that as the game goes on.

Pax.
Iggy72

[Ralonzo]

Ottawa's goals in the last 3 games:

OTT D. ALFREDSSON (2) B. POTHIER (2) J. SPEZZA (9) PP2
OTT W. REDDEN (2) D. ALFREDSSON (8) PP
OTT B. POTHIER (1) Unassisted EV
OTT J. SPEZZA (5) B. POTHIER (1) D. ALFREDSSON (7) PP
OTT J. SPEZZA (4) W. REDDEN (8) D. ALFREDSSON (6) PP2

In other words, the Sens are at the mercy of how many PPs the refs can get them, because they're doing jack and sh*t 5-on-5.

I still can't believe how the Sens can do no wrong but Fitzy pushes Eaves helmet off and it's a minute-and-a-half 5-on-3. Textbook definition of calling it one way, but not the other. (Also, textbook definition of a joke).

OLN consensus: Ottawa carried the play, has all the momentum, yadda yadda. Disregard the first 5 minutes when they were getting kicked all over the ice until the refs intervened.

"Everyone talking about the penalties in the press box, especially the one on Rory, buzz from end to end on how horrible it was." - Jim Lorenz

Form tackle by Fisher on Max. Fisher drills Hecht in the back of the head post whistle. La dee da.

Neil hangs onto Tallinder's stick for about 7 seconds.

[beTough54]

Anyone forced to watch OLN? What are they saying about the calls?

[Ralonzo]

Anyone forced to watch OLN? What are they saying about the calls?

Buffalo got themself into trouble by taking too many penalties. But, it is Daren Idiot.

Oh, and "Emery handles it easily", while it's "Miller with a ragged looking save"

[phishhead220]

Anyone forced to watch OLN? What are they saying about the calls?

OLN won't talk negative bout the reffing. and all chatter is pro-Senators

[Iggy72]

Dammit, the Sabres should have buried that chance.

Sabres getting outplayed right now.

Pax.
Iggy72

The hell game you watchin' boy?

Actually, I'm shocked that the Sen didn't draw the call on Pyatt. I mean, it was a full-gainer with a half-twist, and executed quite well.

That's why Neil is in disbelief. He thought the precendent for reclining on a Sabre was established at 10 seconds last game.

[Iggy72]

Maybe a successful PP this time? Maybe?

Pax.
Iggy72

[emo]

if these refs work another hockey game then bettman is a dirty bastard liar

[MsMcKee]

time to actually get something accomplished on a PP!

[beTough54]

Ha, they call Neil for his little lay on top of a player gimmick.

[mosuavea]

Teppo hopefully that didnt get his heart racing

[beTough54]

Blatant ****ing trip on Briere not called, heaven forbid they should give the Sabres a 5X3

[emo]

What the hell were the Sens doing watching Drury on that one?
that was the worst defense I have ever seen

[mosuavea]

What the hell were the Sens doing watching Drury on that one?

Chara had a brokeback moment with that backstreet boy Taylor Pyatt on the half wall

[beTough54]

Ha, Sens to the box again for at least one of 4 possible penalties.

[Iggy72]

Are the refs trying to even the calling here?
Having said that, they're calling the one on Vanek (which seemed clean) and not on Roy (which was a penalty).

Oh well, Sabres PP.

Pax.
Iggy72

[sabrebraves]

sabres smell blood!

[MsMcKee]

these hits are totally unjustified.

[Ralonzo]

Beautiful. Knee-on-knee on Roy 100 miles away from the puck and he's hurt. No penalty.

Yeah, the Redden hit was one of the few things he's done this game that wasn't actually a foul.

Edit: I stand corrected. He stuck his leg out, 2 clear knee-on-knees within 1 second. Senators are dirty egg-sucking punkdogs.

[mosuavea]

Bandits Update

16-8 Mammoths with 4 left in the 4th. That blows.

[Ralonzo]

Did you know that in Canada trying to maim your opponent when faced with playoff elimination is called "character"?

Maybe we need to dress Peters once we get 3 wins.

[sabrebraves]

even the linesmen blow this game

[Iggy72]

Derek's ok. CBC talking about his rep as a diver, and that Ruff thinks that's unfair.

Odd icing for the Sabres to take.

They call that little chincy thing in the middle of the ****ing jungle of sticks and punches to throats?

Only a matter of time until the 5X3 to get the Sens back in it.

Wow, this game is a throwback all right... to 1975. Rest assured powerplays will be even by the end of the night, no matter how we have to do it.

Omg Another One

oh...my...god.

Eaves pulls off the biggest ****ing dive of the series.

WTF!!! ANOTHER 5 on 3 for Ottawa!!!

another 5 on 3 brutal

[emo]

this is just unbelieveable

finally, this is insulting

I know the refs blow, but man Miller is playing great out there

[beTough54]

Chara finally gets called for something. 4X3 for the Sens for 20 seconds.

[mosuavea]

Finally that org gets a penalty

[Ralonzo]

Not LOL, but a sardonic sad laugh for Murray complaining about Tallinder diving. What a maroon.

[sabrebraves]

Another Huge Save By Miller!!!!!!!!!

[mosuavea]

Miller is just nasty

[Meathead]

you gotta be kidding me great save miller

2-2 on a screened shot from the point. Sabres will be going on a PP shortly.

[CupCrazy]

MILLER!!!!!!!!!!

Unbelievable save on Havlatt!!!!

Oh MAN!!!


...shit. The Sens score right after that. DAMN!

[MsMcKee]

**** No!!

[Ralonzo]

Teppo screened him. I must say, that song Ottawa plays when they score evokes every color of the homo rainbow.

[beTough54]

The Sabres need to start winning some faceoffs.

[mosuavea]

It hit something

[phishhead220]

we need to get our stuff together

[Iggy72]

Teppo screened Ryan on the Pothier goal.

Pax.

not so terrible on the replay

[MsMcKee]

we better take advantage of this pp. this is ridiculous. we're totally outplaying them.

[beTough54]

20 second PP for the Sabres which will certainly help the calls look even on the sheet at the end of the game.

[emo]

roy needs to stop mugging for the refs

[sabrebraves]

Roy just got xchecked in the face

[beTough54]

Apparently jamming a forechecker against the boards after they put the puck past you is legal after a year of being illegal.

[Ralonzo]

Hey, guess what: the Senators need more help. Here you go.

It's about time to take Rob Blake out of that commercial, eh?

of course, its tied how else could the sens get a lead?

Another Sens PP coming up.

Just out of curiousity, does anybody know if these are the same referees that reffed the toronto game that tucker got away with murder?

Pax.

Aww christ...another penalty on Buffalo. The Sabres have to stop taking stupid penalties...regardless of how bad the officiating is, you gotta assume they're gonna call everything on the Sabres and just play clean.

Well, that's an interesting interpretation of the rulebook.

Lets get a ****ing SHG.

Wow, just wow. The linesman stops a Roy breakaway.

the sabres need to be on their best behavior, and that's just how it is

Miller stones Fitzpatrick on a 5-hole bid.

Numminen is off his game tonight, another giveaway.

[MsMcKee]

good kill.

[beTough54]

End of 2.

[emo]

come on call that cheap sh i t!!!!

I hate that extra bs from any team that should be an automoatic 2 minute penalty

[Ralonzo]

And as usual, 3 Sens converge and drill Briere 2 seconds after the horn. But, that's part of the game, I guess, because it's after the whistle.

Anyone forced to watch OLN? What are they saying about the calls?

OLN'S calling it like they want to show the NHL on OLN in the future.

[Iggy72]

Well, end of 2. Ottawa's goals on a PP. We have to stop taking dumb penalties, regardless of the questionable calls here and there.

Well, I'm off to the prom; gee, I'm having a 16 year flashback. In any case, here's hoping I come home to find the series over.

Pax.

Well, that's what bduff says and he played the game so we shouldn't question him.

[emo]

there are two things that really irk me one is that extra post whistle stuff and second is the raised hands and elbows when checking a guy into the boards

to em those two things should get a penalty every single time

oh and the repugnant officiating

[Ralonzo]

Reporter: "Coach, are you sorry you threw the water bottle at Koharski?"
Jim Schoenfeld: "I'm sorry I missed, and I wish it was a brick."

[beTough54]

That's what makes accusations of bias against the refs have a bit more teeth in them when Koharski is on the ice. Didn't he call both of those imaginary 5X3 calls?

[Ralonzo]

Well, that's what bduff says and he played the game so we shouldn't question him.

You're right, carve it in stone. Nobody else has ever played the game, so we just don't know.

Props to OLN for using Styx in a commercial. r0x0r.

Elevator, Elevator, we got the SHAFT!

[emo]

so happy I get to see it on msg

[Drury23]

do it

[CupCrazy]

Here comes the 3rd period...

Let's GO Buffalo!!!

Let's GO Buffalo!!!

Let's GO Buffalo!!!

[Ralonzo]

How the eff is that not icing? Jeeeeeeezus H Christ this is beyond dumb.

[beTough54]

Phillips makes a stupid play and the Sabres go to the PP.

[Ralonzo]

Wow, they finally got em for the hold-up on the wall.

Chris Phillips is the Nuke Lalouche of defensemen. Million-dollar skills, 10-cent head.

Fck*ing Arneil better get this sh*t fixed.

Thundersticks are gay.

[emo]

and the powerplay looks horrid again

[beTough54]

Another miserable PP.

[emo]

if the sabres are up 2 with a minute or so left, I'd like to see grier knock neal the F out

actually I'd like to see grier, mckee, and gaustad knock him out

[beTough54]

Phillips back to his tackling at the blue line ways without penalty this time.

[pcr3939]

The Sabres PP is just a waste of time of late

[beTough54]

Neil doesn't really bother me - he's a low quality pest.

[Ralonzo]

I gotta blame Ruff for not bringing in a linebacker coach to improve his team's tackling. How can we expect to keep pace?
