I think I’ll be stopping by the station to by a ticket for the Lydman hate train. Over the last few games, I’ve seen him commit more errors than the rest of the defense combined. Blown passes, lapses of judgement, etc. I’m not sure why Ruff considers him one of the top defenders on the team :gotme:
I just hope that Lydman gets the train ticket to Rochester when Kalinin returns.
let’s not forget connelly, hecht, and mair :tup:
this team can run with the big dogs as it is… this is only gonna bolster it.
That game last night was insane at the finish, miller saved there ass so many times. Reminds me of the Hasek days when he was winning games for the sabes.
I think game should definately just end in a tie after the shootout is over, except in the playoffs. I like the shootouts but having them drag on is dumb.
:uhh: Belfour> Miller
that is all. 
:lol:
Just another Miller = god fact during this olympic break:
RNK NAME GP W L GAA TGA SV SV% TSA SO
6 Ryan Miller, BUF 29 20 7 2.26 66 792 .923 858 0
The only goaltender in the top 15 without a shutout. So im gonna be a capt obvious and point out that each of those 14 other goalies had at least 1 game without letting 1 goal in, dropping their GAA. Some even had 5 games without letting in 1 goal, yet miller is still 6th in the goals against category. Holy consistent low scored on games.
Oh and not to mention only behind by 27 hundredths.
And now that Hasek is hurt :lol:
I have a feeling that the Senators might suffer a slide in the first few games after the Olympic break. Nothing but good news for the Sabres recently 
Is he going to be out for that long? I thought he just pulled his hamstring…Either way glad its not us that hes doing this to now. I don’t miss his groin injuries at all.
It was just a hammy from what I hear.
But what is Hasek’s track recored with ‘minor’ injuries like this???
BuMp for tommaro’s not TV game that i will be @ Woooot WoooooT

so the sabres are my friend…on myspace of course, and there is a bulletin posted that was a pretty good read, and i ESPECIALLY like the facts about Hasek and how he’s gonna be out for a while…
The Buffalo Sabres’ chances of winning the Northeast Division may have become considerably less difficult over the Olympic break.
One of the hottest teams in the league going into the two-week layoff, the Sabres look for their fifth straight win over the Atlanta Thrashers when the teams resume play at HSBC Arena.
Buffalo is two points behind Northeast Division-leading Ottawa, but the Senators will be without star goaltender Dominik Hasek indefinitely. The two-time Hart and six-time Vezina Trophy winner strained an adductor muscle playing for the Czech Republic in the Olympics, leaving rookies Ray Emery and Billy Thompson in net for the Senators.
Buffalo and Ottawa meet four more times in the regular season.
The Sabres have won seven of their last nine, with one loss coming in overtime and the other in a shootout.
Buffalo’s Ryan Miller, snubbed by Thrashers general manager Don Waddell for inclusion on the U.S. Olympic team, will likely be in net looking to bounce back from a loss in his last outing. Miller made 30 saves Feb. 12, but allowed Eric Staal’s decisive shootout goal in a 4-3 defeat to Eastern Conference-leading Carolina.
“We come into a building where they don’t play the night before, and we play twice in less that 24 hours,” Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff said. “I really thought our club did a hell of a job.”
Buffalo defeated Florida 5-3 the previous night.
Atlanta is tied with Boston for 10th place in the East. The Thrashers, who will be playing the fourth of five straight road games, defeated Ottawa 2-1 on Feb. 9 before beating Montreal by the same score two nights later in a shootout.
Slava Kozlov scored the lone shootout goal in the win over Montreal, backhanding the puck between the legs of Canadiens rookie Cristobal Huet.
“When I was a kid I watched hockey and (Russian star Vladimir Krutov) did that move,” Kozlov said. "You can’t use that move against every goalie … I was a bit nervous because I missed my first two shootout attempts and that was my third opportunity.
“That was a last-minute decision. It looked easy but I was a little bit nervous.”
Thrashers leading scorer Ilya Kovalchuk recorded a single-game Olympic-record four goals for Russia in a 9-2 win over Latvia on Feb. 19.
