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. -

MAX AGAIN!
Geez, could Afinogenov show up like this a little more often?
“Biron has been perforated for three goals this period?” Did someone get a Roget’s Thesaurus for his birthday?
i know that has to be it, kev..but shit, it’s hard to tell sometimes.
Who’s in net? Chechmanek?
Bullshit call. Spacek played that really well.
btw, they’re scoring because i’m not in front of the tv..i think wolf and i have the same thing going on that front.
you’re welcome.
Is #56 a new call-up?
I think it’s Pelle Lindbergh
btw again – i love the firey taste of smirnoff. reminds me that i’m drinkin’!!
Phil Mayre—Martin Biron both Flyer/Sabre goalies Who else?
Florida 0, Boston 0 7 left to play.
I smell a shootout victory for Boston, Keller. It’s just what they do.
Keller – How about Steve Shields?
According to VS Buffalo and Nashville have “alot of bad blood between them?”
Masks are good … and thank goodness for cups, Val adds.
looks like just Myre and Biron…Shields a good guess.
0-0 3:30 left—late penalty agaisnt FLA.
Apparently Buffalo hasn’t earned anything tonight….it’s all due to Flyer errors…
Also, 3 all in the Rangers/Isles game. 5 to play…
Mark it zero Dude…
It looks like Flyer fans turn into seats after they’ve been left out a while.
no goals in an hour of hockey in the Gahden.
Rangers/Isles to OT
What, the Sabres-Rangers game is on VS. as well? My god, my god, why have you forsaken me?
in other news, McCain clinches the GOP nomination…
Connolly can’t afford to lose any more brain cells
Jeez, can we get Peters and The Kaleta! on the ice now?
Didn’t The Kaleta! get sent to the dressing room?
Holy shit—fla scored. over in OT
There’s Kaleta…
Booyah! That qualifies as a “show of guts” in my book. Onto tomorrow night.
Gotta come up big tomorrow. Caps are gonna come out flying…
I love talking on the phone and silently celebrating a goal.
Ryan, you got that, especially probably without Hecht, Tallinder and Connelly.
BTW, Islanders beat Rangers in shootout.
Is that a silver vinyl jacket she is wearing? Chris apparently still shops at WalMart.
i’m so gay over this win i’m gonna go smoke a fag.
By the way sign Pominville to a long term deal. You can get him cheap now.
sjb- an official gop loss in november.
yes, by the time pominville’s in this third year of a 6-yr deal, his voice might begin to sound like a man’s.
And for Kevin Sekera’s official ice time 24:47
i can’t tell you how good it feels to have Max back!
+1 for trevor’s exciting gonorrhea
@155 – That’s it – I’m not watching another game this year. When I don’t watch they score like fucking maniacs. Imagine my shock when I turned on the game with 8 mins left in the 3rd and saw a score of 5-2. So, as my contribution to the playoff run, I am done watching.
Wolf – How about you make a smaller sacrifice immediately and just stop watching VS. broadcasts?
Did the Flyers fans actually boo Tallinder? The sound was off at the bar for the first period and a half.
They did turn it on in enough time for me to realize what is wrong with Vs. coverage besides horrible camera angles. They’re trying to treat each game like they are ESPN covering Monday Night Football. It’s not the about the game on the ice, it’s about the NHL (and the Flyers if they’re playing.)
With football that’s not quite as bad because they only play for 7 seconds at a time. Don’t get me wrong, I hate the interviews and upcoming season long Favre fellatio as much as anyone but local broadcasts don’t bother with that shit. They call the game on the ice for the most part. Vs. is trying to become Hockey Night Football in America when the majority of people tuning in are tuning in because their team is playing.
I will say I feel really bad for Hurricanes fans if that is who they have to put with all season. My god Forsland was the world’s most monotonic announcer I have ever seen. It made me actually want Joe Beninati who makes me want to gauge my ear drums out with a spoon.
I hope those classless Philly assholes don’t get to see their team chalk up another W – I haven’t seen a crowd react to an injury that way since the Jets fans cheered Pennington’s injury. No wonder the Flyers apparently suck at home, who wants to please the fans in filthydelphia?
VS Is possibly the worst broadcast I’ve seen – tell me something NHL – how does talking about anything BUT the game help bring in new fans? Hockey doesn’t always translate well to television, but congratulations VS – you’ve made it worse!
Their production team must really dig the “dynamic” angles playing NHL 08 or something.
At least when we play the Rangers on VS maybe we’ll get some bias our way just to take away from the rangers?
I was at the game. The boos were pretty loud after Tallinder got up, but there were also some people clapping. Pretty representative of Philly sports fans – the bad outnumber the good.
I thought Sekera looked really solid – kudos to Ruff for letting him play the PK. He even lead all D-man in ice time. And Pratt was such a good pickup.
Teams getting a point for an OT/shootout loss is getting really annoying. A W should just be a W (and a loss, a loss), no matter how it happens. effing Boston and the Rangers…
“I will say I feel really bad for Hurricanes fans”
Come on. You’re better than that.
So with the missed call on Tallider, would you say the missed call on Roy, was “Poetic Justice”?
Don’t feel bad for ‘Canes fans – their team might just get the playoff spot that Buffalo would have earned.
