Sabres on a war path

by Steve

Back from Philly and boy did I spend more money than I thought. The Sabres won shockingly, there were quiet a few Sabres fans, we lost our friend the one night and Philadelphia is a pretty sweet city. We weren't the only ones tailgating, their fans for the most part weren't assholes and cheesesteaks are worth the hype.

I put the odds that the Sabres won this game at about 15%. I am a curse on the road and the Flyers are really good. When the Sabres were down 2-0 in the first I put that at 0%. Needless to say this victory and the win again today against Minnesota were a complete shock. Two games in 26 hours and they got all four points? If only the Sabres could play all their games on the road.

A couple questions:
  • Why does Ryan Miller play so many games if Enroth is just as effective?
  • Why would any team pay their goalie more than a couple million dollars at most?
  • Does this team officially have the injury bug?
  • What's Derek Roy's trade value?
  • Remember when Regier said Connolly was a top center in this league ?
  • Why would we ever bench Mike Weber?
  • Who would you rather play Boston Philly or Washington?
Oh well, they are in 8th place two out of seventh with three games in hand. They have two more against Carolina and have a game in hand on them. Philly is scary and can score but Boston proved they can own us in the playoffs while Washington has the best player in the league. It is going to be an interesting next 6 weeks. I'm predicting the seventh seed and a dance with the capitals.
