I’ll probably catch hell for this, but I put a lot of this on Lindy Ruff. 1. You had all year to fix the power play, and didn’t. That’s coaching. 2. How many times do we have to watch Connelly at the point not getting it done on the PP, giving up rushes the other way? A guy with hands like that should be at the left or right of the net. The times Timmy as done well is when he moves in from the point. So put him there. That’s coaching. 3. If you’re not going to play Kalinen, scratch him and put in Paetch. Maybe Campbell has a bit more energy and doesn’t let Alfredson make that shot in OT. That’s coaching. ---

Edit: from this point on I will only refer to Briere as shitbag. Edit #2: I have a tan line from where my playoff beard WAS. ☹ ---

Also, the dump and chase does NOT work on a powerplay, because if you lose the forecheck, you’re toast. ---

the buffalo curse continues. This team was so hyped from the word go. All this one team one goal bullshit. Honestly, they went into a deep slump when the playoffs started, and never could shake it. I didn’t ever see the regular season sabres play in the playoffs, it was mostly a lost looking team. ---

Yeah, regular season was amazing. But no one who knows hockey can tell me this post season was the same team you saw all regular season. And if that’s the case, you can’t call this the best season of hockey this city has ever seen. 75, 99, and 05 were all better because the regular season team showed up in the those playoffs. ---

Hell of a season and a hell of a series. I was on an emotional roller coaster throughout the playoffs. Great memories though. I’m proud of the accomplishments made by this team and I am already looking forward to a great season next year. The good news is, maybe next season I will actually be able to get some tickets.😃 ---

Well I just found out we lost… Its really sad/impressive that either the Alfredson heatly spezza line is INCREDIBLE, or no team was able to stop them… Spezza - 20pts Heatly - 21pts Alfredsson - 17 pts - 10 goals If they played an 82 game season with that intensity Heatley - 114pts Spezza - 109pts Alfredsson - 92pts - 54 goals. Total 315pts :bloated: :bloated: All i can say is WOW, and I can definitely see that line pulling that off next year ---

[/quote] when the Red Wings win the cup or get eliminated. and about the Sabres, i know we’re not really a hitting team, but it’s kinda ridiculous how we barely hit. ive noticed around the boards, Ottawa would check our guys, take the puck, then be on their way for a scoring chance. i’ve seen a lot of opportunities for even the slightest bump or shove to an Ottawa player, but it rarely happened. i feel it was a huge factor in our loss today. the game winning goal for example…if you’ve got Alfredsson coming in against 3 guys, for gods sake, one guy could’ve at least hit him to knock him away from the puck and get it out of the zone. But that didnt happen and he scored on that play to win the series for the Sens. just my .02 ---

truth about alfresson skating through 4 fucking people…thats rediculous whats also rediculous is that kalinin played 2 minutes. seriously, what the fuck is the point of him in the lineup if thats all he’s playing. amazingly, campbell tallinder and lydman all racked up 30+ minutes and numminen even had 25+ space-K = 3 million a season to play 9 minutes…great purchase there :roll: ---
