Game Eight Open Thread: Sabres at Avalanche
What a weekend. Avalanche tonight, the freaking Dolphins tomorrow, and the bonus hockey game against Ottawa at home on Monday.
My God, it’s a great year to be a Buffalo fan.

I am a born and raised Buffalo fan since my birth in Niagara Falls in 1977. For reference, my first communion gift from my parents was a replica Sabres Home White Mike Ramsey jersey. I still have that jersey. After stints at Georgetown and the U.S. Army, I have settled in DC where my Sabres, Bills and Hoyas passion runs unabated (I have season tickets to all 3). I believe that while supporting my franchises is good, I believe supporting them with data and statistics is better. -

FYI.. PSU’s up 10-6 with 2 mins left… hell of a game going on.
Has it been this tight a game defensively the whole way, Wolf, or a lot of turnovers?
Think Max will score before Xmas?
Only one turnover.. tight game. PSU just kicked a field goal with 1:07 left. 13-6.
Penn State has really impressed me this season, and Ohio State continues to be strong.
The way things are going Max won’t score till Chinese New Year…
OSU is moving the ball… I’m starting to get nervous.
PSU intercepts with :27 left. THis is their first win in Columbus in 30+ years.
God damn it.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, crap!
Buffalo out of gas here…let’s see if we hang on for OT
Fuck. If Roy has a broken wrist I’m flying to Denver to choke a bitch.
Great – another center hurt
That would be quite uncool. Buffalo PP is nice, though.
OT it is.
ARE YOU FUCKING JOKING?????? Center Ice just cut off the fucking game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fluky bounce forces OT… bleh. But, even if they can’t get it done in OT, 3 of 4 points in Minn and Colorado is pretty damn decent. Now get the 2nd point.
Phew – it just came back as I was dialing the phone to scream at some poor fucker at DTV.
I hope you didn’t the game was over just because they were interviewing first star Paul Stastny. Those are some pretty bad commercials.
Millsie keeping us in this one.
Chris, no – my DirectTV actually went to black and said “this program is not available in your area”. But it’s back.
Skills challenge…
Fuck.
Wow… that was a nice goal
It was. Milan is quite skilled.
Nice move. Ryan was a bit too agressive.
ALES! He has another move?
Ales!
Who the *&^% is Ales?
Ales is awesome on the shootout this year.
OK Staffy – stay away from the backhand.
D’oh to Drew.
Christ… did he think goalies weren’t going to catch on that he does that move every time?
Wow, that was unexpected.
We move on.
Roy! Deet deet deet
ROY!!!!!! Guess the wrist is ok!
Roysie keeps it alive!
Svatos had no idea what to do with that.
UGH!!!!!! So close!!!!
Smyth with the clutch
SHIT!
Fuck. Oh well, decent road effort.
Hard to be angry with that effort, though. very good game against a team that was playing very well…especially offensively.
Sorry, we got caught up in some Val/cold stuff delay and just got back to speed on DVR to see the save on MacArthur.
Damn.
I will take 3 out of 4 pts – good mini-road trip.
Why does Ruff use a guy who’s never scored a shootout goal in his life when he has Max and Poms and other experienced guys to pick from? It’s just stupid!
I am surprised not to see Pomminville out there, but Max probably wouldn’t have scored with Budaj on the bench.
Budaj couldn’t stop Max with a shotgun. A shootout goal might be the confidence builder that gets him going. Max was made for the shootout.
