This town seriously needs to lose its addiction to being misearable. 699361[/snapback] Not saying the season was bleak by ANY means, I'm simply saying that down three of our best Defensemen, going into hostile territory against a goalie that shut us down in the last game is bleak. I think thats a damn accurate statement. I cant imagine how anyone can spin the Sabres being shut out in Game Four as something positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kegtapr Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Much improved play. Sabres need to keep testing the stick side of Gerber, that seems to be his weakness. They also need to keep doing small things to get under Carolinas skin. Carolina makes stupid mistakes when the Sabres can do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get into their heads and it's a 4-on-4 so no harm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 A couple of positives coming out of this period. First off, Sabres scored first...thats always a big help in terms of confidence. Secondly, and what is in my opinion the most important so far, after getting shut out of the last game they've put up 2 goals in one period against Gerber on his home ice. In terms of messing with the Canes, thats definitely a nice touch. Got good shots on goal and even managed to win the face-offs in that period. Nice play by the Sabres...they'll have to keep it up and keep putting shots on Gerber while they can. Still a loooooooong way to go in this game though, but a nice start for our boys.

MadBuffaloDisease Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Yeah, beating Gerber not once but TWICE in the opening period really destroys that air of invicincibility Gerber baby was starting to develop. After how many more goals do they put Ward back in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems simple I know, but this is a game I truly think the Sabres need to put up 4 goals to win. Thats a tough task...while Gerber definitely was knocked down a few pegs, he'll probably come out playing like a maniac to try and redeem himself in the 2nd period.

buckeyemike Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 The Sabres almost certainly have to win tonight. Asking them to win Games 6 and 7 back-to-back might simply be too much to ask for. If the Sabres can pull it out tonight, chances are they will win Game 6 at home Tuesday night. I see it's 2-1 at the end of one period. Come on, Buffalo.
