Sabres VS Capitals - Battle For 9th Place (Game 3 of 4)

[Forty_Sixand2]

I am actually watching the game. Woo Hoo!!!!!

Shots - 10-2 Caps
Hits - 9-4 Caps

Hitting hard, winning board battles, controlling the puck. Great period. Shame they didn't put in a second goal. Hope they come out playing the same in the 2nd period.

Not that it really matters but I question that stat. I would have bet $100 the Sabres had more hit's. Make me want to watch the first period again after the game just to count them. You sure that's not the other way around?

If the Sabres can manage to score a goal on every 3rd shot on goal, they could win this game 2-1 if Miller doesn't let another goal in.

^Looks like the Sabres may have just found a new coach. Ruff's been there long enough, no?

You're right, Elo was wrong Boss.

The Caps have 11 shots, not 10.

Ruff isn't the problem, some of the players are. A few of their "core" players need to find another place to call Home.

Just going off the box score. We know the home team usually gets credited with more hits, but I thought the Caps outhit the Sabres.

We also won more faceoffs and blocked more shots.

Who's your "Trade ______!"?

That Vanek is a real bum. We'll give you Schultz for him.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

I think it's time for Stafford to find a new home.

 

[ritari330]

I'd bet the Sabres hit more, its hard to lead in hits like that when you have the puck most of the time...

Who's your "Trade ______!"

Roy and Stafford for some piece of mind.

But Goose & the Staff would make such a good cop buddy show!

 

[elocomotive]

Heads up by Vokoun.

Great D play by Regehr on OV.

 

[elocomotive]

WOOOO!!

Gorgeous passing play!

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Does Roy get an assist on that goal for that great outlet pass? Good god !!

 

[ritari330]

Almost over passing, but that was pretty

"official" stats are kept by the official statkeepers of the home team. Almost always a little bit of homer stickhandling involved with the pencil.

This game is over, the Sabres never showed up.

 

[elocomotive]

Wow, what a move/pass from OV.

 

[elocomotive]

Nicky B - career goal 100! (applause)

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Stafford has fanned on THREE chances tonight. Good work Drew.
