Ugh, yes for those keeping score at home this is two Sabres posts in two days. Well, the Sabres won, which is a mild surprise considering how the Senators are basically to the Sabres what the Patriots are to the Bills.
The Sabres dominated this game let's face it. Too bad Vanek couldn't put the punk into lake Erie if he was at Bay Beach (hahaha you like that reference?). God Chris Phillips for Ottawa was god awful. Myers didn't play great but didn't do anything catastrophic. I hope his success last year hasn't gone to his head.
Quick hits:
- Who is more over paid Craig Rivet (the captain by the way) Jochen Hecht or Chris Kelsay? Eeek
- Derek Roy FTW! Halla atcha boy when you see him in the street, two goals tonight. What time will he be on Chippewa tonight? I say 12:15 but there is a game tomorrow.
- Vanek, you make $7 mil score a goal.
- The powerplay for the Sabres was somehow effect and not effect at the same time. Where are the finishers on this team?
- Connolly and Ennis looked pretty decent.
- Why is Cody McCormick on this roster?
- Our captain and two assistant captains Craig Rivet, Jochen Hecht, Derek Roy. Makes you feel like you just chugged a warm Keystone ice doesn't it?
- I still say fire Ruff but the team was ready to play tonight just not ready to score goals.
- Did Pominville dress tonight?
- And... was Ottawa drunk?
The Sabres certainly looked like the better team, but what counts is having more goals than the other team. This game was too close at 2 - 1 for what really happened. If the Sabres can not put the puck in the net like they showed tonite, it will be another lack luster year. As I said, they looked good. It was a fun game to watch and certainly encouraging, but they are going to need to become better at putting the puck in the net more consistantly if they want to make a run at The Cup.

ReplyDeleteWarm Keystone Ice isn't that bad. Neither is Jochen Hecht.
