~*OFFICIAL Buffalo Sabres Thread*~

:ohnoes: :cry:

I am terrified of what might happen now. I think we can still pull out Carolina, but we are missing half of the defensive core right now. it is going to take themost intense offensive backchecking, as well as standup plays from our AHL boys.

I have a feeling that we will be seeing Pom on defense.

this could definitely get sticky without tahLEENder…if teppo isnt ready for game 4, shit could get ugly in our own end…jillson can hold his own, janik can’t…

pominville should drop back to d with jillson, recall vanek back into the roster with novotny and we’re set

btw, novotny had a few rookie fuckups last night…he plays well but had a bunch of giveaways…novotny or vanek, novotny or vanek…

As good as the sabres are, I would be lieing to say I’m not a little nervous about our D. Half our main guys are injured and we’re really stretching their limits. I hope to god teppo is able to play game 4 =x

He hasn’t skated yet. Pominville may get slid back to D… he’s played it before I guess.

yea…this suck that tallinder now has a broken arm. But yea…Ruff said he’s considering Pominville into a defenseman.

Whatever happens tonight the sabres are still up 2-1 and i get at least 1 more week of sabres hockey. I am gonna go tonight, sit in the box and cheer my head off. All i can say is that i amd shocked at what this team has done this year and they have bounced back from bad situations before. Im pretty confident.

WGR is reporting that Teppo is skating this morning, but it looks like there are still some things he can’t do. If that’s the case he won’t be in tonight.

I had a dream that the sabres won 11-1 last night. Lets hope its true.

:lol:

Sabres…FTW

lol, our “black-and-blue line” :biglaugh:

they’ll come out strong. while we haven’t had this many guys go out at once during the regular season, we still played well when we lost our “big-name” guys. pucker factor ++

roloson last night got his ticket punched too… 6-3.

Perseverance is the Sabre’s motto this year.

And I watched some of the Anaheim-Edmonton game… CRAZINESS. At least half of the second period was played with atleast one man in the penalty box. There were points where it was 3 on 3 hockey for almost 2 minutes. I had a feeling the Anaheim was gonna come out fighting.

Now both series will be atleast 5 games each.

he wont be playing.

i thought “relentless” was their motto.:stuck_out_tongue: (same thing I guess)

:tdown:

Buffalo’s best defense is going to be a strong offense. I hope they realize that.

“Relentless perseverance” works for me :gotme:

They had better have a strong forecheck this game, otherwise I don’t see a good outcome to this game.

ugh.

janik and jillson. wow. i thought jillson played pretty well wednesday night, so i have a bit of confidence in him. i wasnt too happy with how janik played, though. it would be sweet if carolina came out swinging and the double J’s shut them down, but thats going to be a pretty high mountain to climb.

LETS GO BUFFALO!

Well, at least if they put Janik with Jillson it may help Janik out. Jillson is his line mate from Rochester.

yeah, im actually sorta looking forward to seeing how well they play together tonight. well, im about 50% looking forward to it and 50% not looking forward to it. But i really think we are going to have to score like 5 goals min. tonight.
