BuffalOhio Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 6-2 and looking good. At least we've got one team in town with a chance to win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester43 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 yeah, i have been waiting for the wheels to fall off there also, but the fact that we are leading the nhl in shots on goal is not only a good sign, but downright astonishing, when you consider what a tough time we've had creating shots in the past. i hope everyone within an hour of rochester will consider buying a ticket for the beating we're gonna put on the caps this week!!

zow2 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I live around DC and the Caps are fielding one of the worst NHL teams that i've seen in years. They are like an expansion team and get outshot seemingly 45-19 every game. I sure hope the Sabres don't take them lightly. They should be able to pound Washington at home.

inkman Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I don't think they take anyone lightly. They aren't good enough too. They are a hard working, hard skating team that gives it everything night in and night out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinandjokin Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Obviously the players are getting it done on the ice, but some high-fives need to be thrown to Quinn, Darcy, and Ruff for anticipating what the game would be like with the rule changes. When the free agents were signing like crazy, it seemed like the Sabres were being their typical cheap selves. But they were confident with their roster, and now they are well-positioned with a good, fast, young team that is about $12 mil under the cap. Speaks well for the coaching staff that the Sabres are the least penalized team in the NHL right now, especially when the power play is how many teams are making a living. The coaches have obviously worked hard on defensive positioning and discipline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester43 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 i hate to let my relentless pessimism bleed into my enjoyment of the first 6-2 sabres team we have seen in decades, but i can't help it: it all seems to good to be true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one of the all timers,,, (i suppose getting Hasek for a nobody was a bit better!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jester43 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 i know vanek and drury are going to start lighting it up "any day now," but how great would it have been if we'd signed petr bondra to finish some of these great scoring chances we've been generating?
