1st Period-Woo baby, the boys came out to play tonight, Mairsy scoring on a tipped shot from a great Rivet point shot just 7 minutes in. Nearly two minutes later Spacek takes advantage of a Rob Blake holding penalty by blasting one from the point with a great Drew Stafford Jesus screen. They're doing a great job getting pucks deep and working from there. Guess that whole system thing works. Pavelski takes a penalty and San Jose nearly kills the penalty but Thornton gets his pocket picked at centre ice and Derek Roy buries one top corner for his 100th career goal. Teppo takes a hooking call and Patrick Marleau fires a wrist shot just above the circle and below the blue line, Miller doesn't have a chance on it with a great screen by Thornton. 3-1 Buffalo, great game so far.
Rangers up 1-0 on the Panthers. Can't they just both lose?
I've seen this HSBC commercial 600 times... I still don't get it. But I suppose its better than Veins,Veins, Veins...::Shudder::
2nd Period-Great first minute so far,exciting end to end chances. Turns out that Clowe and Boyle are playing despite the flu. Rob Ray still can't read... Crowd seems into it tonight, where were they against the Sens? Gerbe has about 8 minutes of ice time already and its 5 minutes into the 2nd, good for him. Florida tied it up on the Rangers. Timmy needs to get those clears in deep, that could have been deadly. Blake trips up Paille, here we go boys. Kotalik rips one right off the face off. 4-1. Yeah, those scrums after every play need to go, they are fine once in a while not after every play. Marleau camping out front puts one in past Miller, D-man needs to tie him up right out in front. Sharks come right back and take a penalty, guess momentum isn't in their system. Grier gets a shorthanded breakaway, Miller stands tall. Good pressure from the Sharks, Sabres ice it. Not looking good. Lindy calls time out. Good Call. Another power play for the Sabres. Sharks kill it, and Dan Boyle scores with 50 seconds left. Come on Finland.
Rangers still tied after 2.
I can't wait to play in the pond hockey tourney next year.
3rd Period-Let's hope Buffalo keeps the pressure on. Lazy icing by Roy, Sabres finally change, Kaleta is everywhere... I'd hate to play that kid. Garbage call on Rivet, Thornton gets a high stick by his own man in the corner. Balls loses his stick, Sharks cycle and blast one from the point past Miller. 4-4. Crowds back into it, lets see if the boys feed off it. Why does MSG want us to think Rob Ray knows how to play hockey? Mmm commercial for Papa Johns on the Rangers game... I'm hungry... Ugh San Jose scores, awful d, play the body not the puck! Rangers have a PP with 4 min left, still tied at 1. One min left in the Rangers game, lets hope they don't go to OT. Well they're going to OT, that's not good for Buffalo who are losing. Gerbe is a feisty flying monkey. Habs are up 2-0 also... not a good night for the Sabres. Minute left..lets see what they can do..RIVET SCORES! WITH 3.9 LEFT! It seems like most of the goals tonight have been from the point. Crowd is really into it now. Pommers gets the credit, hopefully this breaks him out of his slump.
Gerbe gets hit knee to knee at centre ice, hopefully hes okay, Dr.Z wins it in Florida in a shootout against the Rangers.
Ales up first--Nabby gloves it.
Boyle up--Miller saves it glove side.
Stafford Jesus--Nabby with the pad save.
Pavelski--Miller save.
Timmy--Pad save low glove side.
Setoguchi--Miller save.
Pommers-Scores, off the post high glove side.
Marleau-Scores over Millers arm.
Roy-Deke backhand lifts it up stairs goal.
What a game. That was a big point to steal.
Sorry but why does Gerbe look like a winged monkey from Wizard of Oz?
