Rayzer32 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Game 5 tonight at 8:30, again on Time Warner ch 98 for Rochester area fans. Down 3-1 it is not looking good, but if any team can come back it's the Amerks, as they proved last year against Syracuse. Amerks will be without Vanek and Thorburn, who has a broken jaw do to a dirty hit to the boards during the last game. There was also no penalty called on the play. More evidence that the zebras are giving this series to Manitoba. The Moose are the only Canadian team left and the league definitely wants to keep a Canadian team around. All I can hope for is that McMorrow is on the ice tonight to keep Manitoba from the cheapshots they have been throwing around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a guy that many touted as the Sabres' starter in 2006, based on the hot streak the Amerks put together earlier this year. He's not shown me enough mental toughness in this series and he gave up some questionable goals in Round 1 as well. Do you think they overworked him down the stretch when they were trying to get that "Win" record for him? Tonight, win or lose, he's got to have a "stand on your head" game if he's going to make himself a viable replacement to Biron next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastaJoe Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Next season the Amerks should try to sign Wade Flaherty. It may be the only way they can get past him in the playoffs, since he's stopped them the past two seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller always seems to let one in in the first five minutes so the Amerks always seem to be trying to dig themselves out of a hole. I don't even want to get started on Biron. Marty lets in some of the most awful goals I've ever seen. And he always seems to lose the game for the Sabres in the last five minutes. At least Miller and Noronen are still playing, whereas our starting goaltender Biron, hasn't competed since the Sabres last game last April '04. Scary.....

Rayzer32 Posted May 14, 2005 Author Share Posted May 14, 2005 This is the most pitiful performance from a so-called "desperate" team that I have ever seen. My 7-year-old daughter hits harder than these lifeless turds. Miller looks like his confidence is shot as well. Amerks had a 5 on 3 for almost a full minute and got maybe 1 shot on goal. This was when they were still only 1 down. Someone should also tell Cunneyworth that he does have a timeout and is allowed to use it before the last 3 minutes of a game. He should have used it after the Moose scored 2 goals in 18 seconds to take the lead. Gee, I guess all I have to watch now is the NBA playoffs....yippeee!!!

Rayzer32 Posted May 14, 2005 Author Share Posted May 14, 2005 Are you serious? Are they soft goals? 336350[/snapback] Miller got bulled into the net by the offenseman and wanted a penalty. Morrison took Cullen into the boards face-first and again no penalty. Gaustad finally took matters into his own hands and jumped Morrison and pummeled him. He received a double minor, 4 minutes.

Rayzer32 Posted May 14, 2005 Author Share Posted May 14, 2005 Adios Muchachos!!! Ryan Miller said it. "This was unacceptable" No kidding, most ever points by an Amerks team during the regular season and are then ousted in round 2. Don Stevens says "this team should be proud of their accomplishments during the regular season with 112 pts. setting a new club record". Hey Don, no one cares, the best team in the league just got spanked in the 2nd rd and no one remembers the 112 pts right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROSCOE P. COE TRAIN Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 miller is a nice project. but his melt downs - LATE IN GAMES IS suspect IMHO. regier said this too, that late in games the netminder makes his salary. who gives a sh-- in the 1st and 2nd periods, it is when the ice is choppy and the ref put the whistle away and the grinders score late in playoff games where a goalie is key (see brodeur, roy, belfour) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a good goalie who will become a great goalie in the near future I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 I believe Miller is 25, or going to be 25. Anywho, it should be time for Miller and Noronen to be the goalie tandem in Buffalo whenever the NHL decides to start up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Wheels Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Question for those who watched the Amerks this year: was it just a coincidence that all their problems started after Vanek suffered his groin injury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
