No hitting at the beginning of the game. The Sharks announcers didn't mention the sSabres for the first minute or so. The color guy kept mispronouncing Norenen's name.

Wacka Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 The trade must have put the fear of god into the Sharks, because from seeing the "highlights" on the news here this year, this is their best game of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assquatch Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Buffalo is going to be flatter than, well, nevermind. First night back in town off a road trip. Those games usually suck harder than, well, nevermind again. I wish there was a few days in between Mtl. and the Sharks. 517591[/snapback] Good call. 5-0 early in the second.

They're perhaps the most talented and deep team in the Western Conference with only Ottawa being at that level. The problem is they haven't played up to it. I honestly don't think they'd have even thought about the trade had it not been for Joe Thornton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Bills Fan Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 We are getting murdered tonight. The stands look barren too. Very depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gross Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 That was horrid. I was there, section 106. My first Sabres game and they fall f-l-a-t. Noronen must have put his mask on backwards...he couldn't stop a shot from stojan's grandmother... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noronen must have put his mask on backwards...he couldn't stop a shot from stojan's grandmother... 518293[/snapback] I dont think it had anything to do with Noronen. Whomever said the Sabres would come out flat was right on the money. The Sharks played one of their best games of the year on the other hand. Thortons addition fills a couple major holes that San Jose has had the last few seasons. A consistent power center. Someone who can win faceoffs. Someone who can lead the powerplay. What was strange about this game is that it also somehow, made Nabokov come around to his old solid dependable self. The entire team seemed to be energized(or scared) by the trade and I really hope it continues. To bad it had to come at the expense of the Sabres because I really do have a soft spot for them. Even though those uni's last night were horrible! Anyway, should be interesting to see what happens tonight in Toronto. Only thing that pisses me off is that Direct Tv will be giving us the local Fox Sports Bay Area telecast. Wont be getting the usual HNIC broadcast that I usually get for Leaf games. Gonna miss Cherrys take on the whole deal. Oh well. Can get that on CBC's website after the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very depressing. 518252[/snapback] I went to the game, didn't catch the announced attendance but it was close to a sell-out with a LOT of will call / last minute ticket buyers. Hopefully those people who came to their 1st game give the Sabres a mulligan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinandjokin Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I said "Uh oh" when Thornton rang a blast off the post about 8 seconds into the game. He definitely gave their team a shot in the arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in 106, he was in the 300's, behind the same-side goal...Roads weren't all that bad coming in from the East.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
