Sabres

Hanging Up The Car Flag

by alec on May 14, 2006

Well, that’s it.  The game last night was a nailbiter, but in the end the Sabres knocked the Sens out.  The most frustrating thing?  The Sabres goals looked like the same kinds of goals the Sens were scoring at the beginning of the season, but apparently have forgotten how to now. Tallinder’s opening goal at 33 seconds?  How many times did we see an early goal from the Sens in the first part of the season.  Drury’s dance to the net, and shot around Emery?  Looks like a Havlat maneuvre to me.  And how about Pominville’s OT short handed victory goal with Alfredsson and Redden flat footed in front of the net?  Looks like the kind of maneuvre Vermette pulled over and over in the regular season.

Ah well.  The season’s over.  Time to dust off the BBQ, and put the car flag away.  It’s probably a good thing.  Too many evenings were spent watching hockey the last few weeks instead of getting work done.

Game 2: Sabres 2, Sens 1

by alec on May 8, 2006

That was a heartbreaker.  There was no score in the first, and third, but Buffalo went up 2 to 1 in the second.  Ryan Miller took an amazing 44 shots, letting just one in.  Ray Emery had a comparatively easier time of it, with just 17 shots on goal.  The Sens played hard tonight, but couldn’t beat Miller.  The silver lining, if any, is that the rest of the Buffalo team couldn’t keep Ottawa from shooting on the goal, and sooner or later, Miller has to become fallible. 

Go Sens Go!
