~*OFFICIAL Buffalo Sabres Thread*~

ugh, not what we need, another defenseman out

how many fucking knee injuries are we going to have this year…

It was a win but a win against boston only proves they don’t suck. Maybe this is going to give them the confidence to finish up the regular season on fire.

:tup:

sabres outworked them for sure. What really hurts buffalo are the defencivee breakdowns particullarly by the briere and roy lines. Those two lines play offence like theres no tomorrow but they disintegrate in the sabres zone and don’t play well at all.

Connoly although provided a huge boost in this game. Roy’s play was also excellent, im liking him even more after that check he put on in the third And i must say, throughout this loosing streak, one player that stood out as someone who stepped up to the plate is Mike Grier. Who woulda thought he has legs that can make him skate so hard. I’m impressed.

turn the defene around, keep up the effort and they are ready for the playoffs. Better them straightening the ship before getting to the playoffs

Damn… our good defenseman… now were screwed. Our defense has been in shambles for quite some time as it is, they haven’t played good in a while. Still waiting on them showing up to a game, now we lose another guy to it. :frowning:

when is hecht coming back, and who’s replacing numminen?

and +1 for navotny! hard worker.

I love Novotny… he tries. He knows that this is his big chance to make an impression to maybe stay up here for good. I hope he does.

i agree

briere is suspended 2 games

i didnt see the play, but all they wrote was that they “collided”…did he wind up and crack leetch in the skull or what? how do they merit a suspension for it…

the espn article said he high sticked leech

ORONTO (March 30, 2006) - Buffalo Sabres forward Daniel Briere has been suspended for two games, without pay, as a result of a highsticking incident during NHL game #1075 against the Boston Bruins last night.

Under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, and based on his average annual salary, Briere will forfeit $19,775.52. The money goes to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.

The incident occurred at 10:29 of the second period when Briere struck Boston player Brian Leetch with a highstick. No penalty was assessed on the play.

Briere will miss tonight’s game at New Jersey and April 1 at Toronto.
He will be eligible to return April 3 in Toronto against the Maple Leafs.

Well ain’t that a kick in the nuts. I didn’t see the play but he isn’t a cheap player like that i find it hard to believe.

yeah WTF

I just saw the vid and its bullshit. He got slashed by Leetch and when he fell down his stick hit leetch in the head. It was obvious that he did not mean it at all

thats so retarded.
i definately agree about novotny though, well from what i can tell. i can only listen to the games down here, but he sounds good, lol.

is tonights game on tv? i have direct tv and the channel that’s listening this game, is playing the sens game

EDIT: Nevermind, they changed it to the sabres game now

fucking lydman throwing it into the corner like that… 3-1 devils blah

tallinder is fucking horrible…not that it would have made a difference in the end, but the devils first goal was COMPLETELY his fault…lydman was slightly less shitty tonight…we’re going to HURT bad without numminen…here comes fitzpatrick :poop:

also, ive noticed in the past couple games (regardless of the multiple goals he has scored) dumont is getting burned in the offensive zone and is allowing several odd man rushes back into the defensive zone…which is clearly where hecht is missed…

man we are falling apart
