    Audio

    Wed, 1 Feb 2012

    Come back to first senator deal with you on the belt sabres post game show tea thrilling ending to this one tonight. And fortunately for many of you listening now the team you were rooting for did not come out on top. Rangers win one to nothing Bryant and the Rochester native beating Miller. As he was the tenth shooter. In the shootout session boy for the opportunities there on both sides tonight I mean if I wanna argue. That the Rangers could had an opportunity to win this in regulation it would be easy to do Miller was so good. I think the best save I would say that he robbed Callahan on a one timer. In the second period. On that of course you look at the other how good one quest was to. Lundqvist robbing boys. Late in the third period. Then of course Roy had an opportunity. To beat Lundqvist hits the post in the OT. In the shootout how about the goal that boys seems to have and then somehow long quest is there. With the glove save. And then right after that. Miller does just as equally well the glove save in the shoot out on Richard so. It was very entertaining if it wasn't so much early but the third DOT in the shootout was was good stuff and you definitely. And got your money's worth here at least if you you're stuck around for the second half of the game here tonight. Sellout from the first senator. As the sabres get eight point tonight we'll update you on the eastern standing here in a moment when he rest press conference will be coming your way here shortly as soon as he stepped to the podium. We will take you there. Course your phone calls will be welcome your 80305. the and that will get the calls here just a moment but I wanna. Take you through some of these highlights and a lot of just getting in your car from the first daggers and here tonight get a chance to hear the excitement. Through the voice of so let's get to the highlights now and we're gonna go through some of those great opportunities for the sabres. We're gonna Go to the third period late stages buffalo on the power play out of the box for delay. And boys with a chance to win it. Boys there had an opportunity to score goes into the OT. Closing minutes of the overtime. Derek Roy with a chance to win it. It's not good. So many of those crazy moments throughout just a couple of America. Then we go to the shoot out and dirty misses. On his first opportunity hitting the post goes first for new York and he puts at home. And now on Miller. Can't recommend he should look gold medals. Make quality goals obviously it was. And after it hit the post. They're tough to see that run right out but it actually. He hit the side of the cross and then went in underneath the net and jumped right out so Gabbert put New York up one nothing in the shoot out. Then the opportunity for buffalo that was the closest of the one that didn't go in boys and opportunity a real nice movie came back in net. To the near side glove side and Lundqvist is there to stop it Mitchell was stopped by Miller. Then and builds up to try to keep buffalo alive. On Lundqvist. ties the shootout at one and then Richards with a chance to win it for New York. And there with a big glove save and it's on his opportunity hits the post staff and was stopped by Miller so we go to the fifth shooter. stopped by Lundqvist. And then Callahan becomes the tenth shooter of the night and he ends up putting at home for the winner. As he comes in tries his luck against Miller county and the show. Callahan gives the Rangers the one nothing win tonight in the shoot out and that is our goal of the game brought to you by Glen Campbell Chevrolet. On transit wrote Ian Williams they'll both goaltenders were actually tonight through three periods in OT. Miller stopping all 29 saves he does get credit for shut out tonight despite losing the game. And Miller media Lundqvist on the other made 34 saves on all 34 buffalo shots. Power plays the sabres could've won it there opportunities in the game including an early five on three. Buffalo went over five and New York went well for two Callahan is your third star Miller star number two Lundqvist. Star number one hand buffalo next plays on Saturday night 7 o'clock from Nassau coliseum on Long Island. Against the New York Islanders Lindy press conference coming your way here any moment. Now let's grab some fan reaction here while we wait 8030550. Is the number. Let's go to move Corey beyond Grand Island on Rhode Island I Corey. He has got it. That's what they does sabres know. Despite I was beaten to go and they put together decent effort tonight and well for the past three games might not be streak right now but. Or give me some hope. I would agree thanks it. Defensively. And with Miller I think it's gotta give you a little hope five of the last six points. You know you can start to feel a little better about it. Tonight it would have been I think a huge springboard had possibly win this and get two points because you beat a very good team in the east. The Rangers were on top heading into the night and they remain on top with their win tonight in the conference. So that mentally you win three in a row and you beat a really good team and your goaltender steals the show this tonight. How it would have been such Hollywood script for Miller to break cash X record. Now with this performance tonight more on that in a moment here's what Iraqis right. Yeah it's disappointing loss. Play hard play hard and said to Toronto on the ropes and mystical theory opportunities. You know other fans in the third period got to score in this building up some life and we've played third period. Ultimately disappointing part is you know Derek Roy's gonna put that this could put away. Coming close isn't good enough. But maybe 34 tonight I mean and is exploring the shoot out at like let's just kick kept ringing tonight. rattled one off. This would look look to both goaltenders played well. That are puck movement was good and you know again from her back in. It was six hasn't worked pretty well together and we did a good job against the top players and it with a a couple of our top guys about it. Gonna step in and play well. Artery and just come from Costa and let them I thought it no longer part of it bogs it. It wanted to create some force. You know no energy. There are getting you feel the energy from fans of religion and to that pushed us to. Deploy even harder on the third and really tough call on MS. Well. 400 penalty kill again you must 56 shots. That penalty kill him lately you know that amounts to blocking skills because they've blocked a lot of marks an important point reader and you know they went down. Lot of times. Full body block you know double They live on the line to and that that killed was really important for all almost killed all of a came off for about thirty seconds we're back open. There's tremendous show your five on three look like spiritual crisis in this case. Really good to an office to look at the Palmer had a tough time. You know he's one it's usually pretty good over the execution. You know we had to with staff shambles so we threw some guys a couple different positions and execution was this of the one disappointing part was we didn't really get a real good look. Here a couple of we went down Dennis cross crease but I don't think we don't agree look at. That. Yeah ideas that to test. That we're done we're. We're. I mean the results regardless of it's going to be on the shorter shorter period former officers. Where this could have been more serious war so. It's going to be it really type thing where. Analysts say a week and maybe in his Thanks. Okay there's Lindy is live press conference we bring it back to the press box I'm rankles do you just if you didn't hear the question Wendy's last response they're saying that on injury. That the tests were done he said we gave as good results nothing serious let's say a week. So that's good news and that will call that the injury report sponsored by UB to sports medicine. Go over the pros go and of course that win these press conference as always brought to you by Paul William belts. Your power of attorney. I wild finish in this one more reaction coming your way Paul Hamilton's gonna go to the sabres noble hear player reaction coming up next still more phone calls welcome 803. 0550. And will update the standings as well. When we return tonight some some good news there even though the sabres only did get one of a possible to tonight. Dave Taylor scoreboard update we're back with more post game I'm deal this is the sabres. Radio network. It okay well. Hit there from Zach pass in our Seneca poker deck of the game it's brought to you by Seneca poker we're dealing you win. At Seneca poker welcome back here to the belts neighbor's show we are going to go out of the locker room. Paul standing by with the players here just a moment to get their reaction to act one nothing win by the Rangers. In the shoot and the quick standings though update though for many that are in your car being chancellor of the standings it awfully at the point tonight. Moves them into a tie for eleventh. Guess that makes you feel better because remember they started post all star break in fourteenth so. They are tied with Tampa for eleventh at 48 points the team above them at Winnipeg. In Toronto did win. So eighth place is no longer 56 points is enough majors in fifty of the sabres are still. Nine back yes they've passed some teams but nine points back so as we know even though you and and make it than you know may do well in the standings in terms of getting points here and there. There's so many teams the past than other teams are gonna win and of course when teams play each other somebody's got to win news root for not getting three point teams. And still a lot of work to do. As the sabres fall tonight I'll go to the locker and we'll get more fan reaction here as well we open up our blue and gold locker report which has brought you by Jacqueline gold and silver Buffalo's premier precious metals dealer and now Buffalo's best player tonight in my eyes as Ryan Miller and he is ready to talk are all Hamilton. All right certainly goaltenders battle. Because once they perceive comes down under a shoot out but. Certainly can you both well that's what. They have guys NFL all the bases. On our power it's a sad I. Kind of talk quite happen it employs it was anti it I think he's been playing. You know it's hard to beat them breakaway is thoughts. You know. It is it's hard to make a move around players over the You know main message the other yes they had a but you guys again 34. I mean it just seems like night after night. You guys just keep that mark. And it's. It has hard to explain I guess it's. It's almost like an epidemic that's. Keep in the chances keep paring down. Yet approximate its. I think that's cause there really strong effort from tonight. Points you know one point it's okay. Can afford to do that's you know some and put ourselves in position home to. To win as a power play isn't we didn't didn't quite get it done. is it and it's been the top here where he played. About as low as you can play it friendly place for that matter and it's still not enough when. It's just one of those nights and And save for me and we score and they're saying same things silence. And on those kind of nice pop up over the course of season I don't think we should get a microscope voting starts. You know. Into negative ourselves about it because there's lot of good things tonight the battle is there the organization is You know I thought against team that's been ranked really highly an entire season. You know we play really strong defense you know I thought we and it's you do you feel like your games. You know pretty close anyway back to VMware treatment if Having McCain feels better I think there is. Couple. Couple things going on in it took me awhile to get back on course. To something you know. You know keep giving me as a chance to cancel. All I can Now is and after but you don't know I got to come up with one more over there this is currently treating our. Well goalies were. Spiller out of the it. There was that was found to be a part of I mean I haven't. That has too many good. Good outings in the last few months and last last week and a half years. From my game and it's such around in the shape especially in and I even though we lost annually when things to feel better and gonna come out and go up against unless he's having a great season. And you know have a night like this hurt it kind of put us in. And the spotlight and each and you know as I speak part of. But the for a three how many blocked shots to your three guys out there that seem like a guy I lost count after awhile. Yeah I mean there's probably 45 really important box now once or emotions so. But have been harder saved me and with the toys in space and time of them. What and I get the shots from mountain slide. You know I thought in it's obviously a talented guys to but being pretty patient in the pocket there's so you know our guys her. And great position. And have to move much blocked shots it really efficient and. When they're hosting the I'd just. Early in the season just trying to get him. Can marry them and you know and have a chance quagmire of them and I'm just being away after about three weeks and then back. You know in the formally cleared through behind. And things generally go well here's a started you know catch on on a treadmill you know and it's. A lot of your thoughts and stuff I've. Feel like I got myself in a better place mentally and physically and feel like you know focus of my come it so. You know distract him going just respect the game best can do little things mean. Now that's the wearing that it's. They'll look for look from a distance like you're just a lot quieter and it seems like a significant difference is that accurate when does require a lot more calm demeanor. Yeah we're more confident in my game right probably. better it doesn't things ironed out. It's our system. I know what to expect of themselves and right and post game Bryant back to you. Case certainly figured it out in his last three games he's and a total of two goals against. His goals against average is now finally below three in his save percentage. Over the course of the last three games has risen from point eight. 97 to now 904. So. It would have been as I was saying before we did take the last time out what a script could have been tonight at buffalo one. And Miller passed it to become the all time winner leader in career wins here in team history when it announces the first star and I'm sure that That announcement also would have come out and likely standing ovation tonight and not that it takes anywhere at a place to play tremendous tonight but an of course you know I'm fully aware before you send emails that. It's easier for Miller to get wins nowadays with. Obviously they're being more ties like there were when when that went down played and Miller even himself that he admitted that. In last night's game in Montreal but either way you passed out and cash chicken. A any sort of standing center records like that and it's something that as Miller said he'll look back when your career is over and be happy about it. 8030550. Is the sabres to shoot outs and thrilling ending to this game one nothing to the Rangers Callahan goal is your winner. Let's go back to the phones Chris and tunnel Wanda is up next press. Bryant. You know the big game look really hopefully these factors also off again. One of this season obviously. People are clamoring about collect a little here are strong family that I would the big thing. But I really got to ask myself this team would be if they buried there live shots and missed opportunities that weren't hidden cost in the city wide open net. You know it seemed to be the place of this team all season. In order that would be in the standings as they ethereal that they are there chances that that's Kellan looks right now. And thanks Chris yeah I mean it's it is the question of the season. And I can probably say they'd be in the top eight. And they would have won tonight I mean right in his press conference out there right that there half. To convert there to paraphrase that when he says and opinion on agree. If Roy is our quote unquote top lines that are. With a chance to win goalie down on a night where neither goalie is budging an inch and you've got to beat. You got to finish it. No excuses and I agree wholeheartedly with with Wendy's thing that Roy has to finish that. And that's by the sabres didn't pick up two points tonight he and others a chance this chances to score. And Lundqvist gets a lot of credit but also there were opportunities where they could have finished in did not and that's this is a repeated message as Chris just pointed out. Through the course of the season how often. You've been hearing me or others on post teams or other shows. And here on our flagship WGR about the savers missed opportunities. I'll go back to the room. And they continue blue and gold locker report and Tyler Ennis is up next he's with our Paul Hamilton. Story the post and I say you guys have alone take me through to shoot action look like you've been Came down. so deep that. side and besides just snapped up there and just hit the post and those got to go and it's tough to took the C don't post. Who drew that penalty that they give the guys did a great job we can on and off. They kill politicos. I don't agree with. They hit over my shoulder and I. term in the direction or they would volume body and at worst he residential so. I am 160 pounds so the lead and kind of solid pretty good but could play by him to. You know get a carpet for his guys and it could just come on guys once again which you three. For post again as a team one in overtime Derek you won in overtime is just. nursing team it's my and non discuss our fans. A good chance against photos solid effort it's. You know America's team and an auction this off for a period chances who's gonna be content to just get down the goaltenders. Had two people listening an enormous on from those in. Knowing that phenomenal tonight. We're gonna Is it wanting me I think you would agree we didn't play wells a power play you guys really struggled there. That was place where maybe you have especially in the five on three where you had a chance maybe get on the board. Yeah I think you know have them any purpose for your and they have a good time You know the precious aren't. They use just the interest in joining us an update on that sitting at a benefit and. Tyler Larson posed to him. If Paul thank you there with Tyler Ennis and that he amongst the sabres but I mean you talk about the opportunities. He could say boy at the boys at the end of the third. Boys in the shootout. You know early in the period Leno had a chance to score early in the first Leno had a chance to score Austin but I mean the one that jumps out at that was Roy hitting the post that could've won it. You've got a guy with a that can finish it in the the cost the sabres a point tonight we call that the play of the game brought you by institute head. To Paula is gonna join us live with his analysis in a moment but let's grab another call that a Kyle in Amherst. Kyle the post game. Brian Brian Brian mr. Leo I can't tell you I haven't been this such a good game goes that the money they're really oh lead the other out. The five months three. I mean yeah everybody Parkinson and they're early and why. I Kyle thanks I mean. Roy had the opportunity to win it and did not end when he called amount for it he's he's amongst that group but that one. Is going to be the most obvious. All right let's go back to the room. And then now we'll get Paul's thoughts too as well he's standing by with the captain here's Jason and Category and not. They proved it tonight. There's still a guys had how many posts I mean one in overtime one in the shoot out a couple in regulation. Just. I don't my deceased I own a team post. That's it's been tough is gonna dig deeper and find a way to put him away. But we're playing better. We're not handing any free opportunities were making it more for their properties were. We're limiting their rush opportunities with is constantly talked to vote in I think by playing better defensively. yourself ourselves a better chance to win. We've been we've been getting points and it's just unfortunate that tonight we to visit this time of year. I mean we definitely need to him once again I mean you get the Goldman Tyler it's poster you don't want in the shootout. Yeah it was a I mean it's not a not an easy situation going. Mean you'd much rather go and when you have a chance to win it but we're ever to stick with that and then and put And so Maynor made a good shot. Tens of the post and going outside. Relate that to go to the other way and but again. I think both goalies were played extremely well made some big saves for both teams both teams battled hard in. We just who's finally put more talk of the departure took much apparently I mean these guys that big one in overtime and I just talking on my to him to Africa went into that yeah I mean guys that out there on the foreign treated a great job. With their shot lanes paying the price that. On the block shots and Davison up to you after that. To get something going on four and yet those guys a lot of credit is. It's not an easy job to do and and they they did it well. When he plays that well ride it places while he did in. Yeah that's I mean he he played as he played really well he's been playing really well for us giving us a chance to win and I think he he made some key saves at key times. It was a battle between both. Probably two of the best goalies in Italy and they're not but not easy to score and I got to find a way I mean it's tell you try not going to be to either one of them with with the first option and that's where you gotta shoot for rebounds and maybe. Get a crack at the second opportunity in. Neither team has it do. Talk about the other side of things the power play especially the product through the passing this around this I mean you really didn't pass the puck or the entries were either knowing they did a good job denying us the entries that five on three. I think we got to pox I mean where we are trying to pass it around. And I tried to move once. Offer which he would have probably had an open shot. People who want that in the past about that back with the same time I think we gotta we gotta generate shots and then the other plays open we weren't we weren't able to do that educational practice we'll post game back to. I've of our locker report thank you Paul gets Paula this one moment the sabres with point tonight are not tied for eleventh with Tampa with 48 points still nine back though of New Jersey. Who sits in eighth in the Rangers with. Continued to lead the Eastern Conference with this win tonight year update on the current standings has brought to you by Molson Canadian hockey's newest official imported beer. Of the NHL one nothing the Rangers win here in a shootout will gonna go beyond our extended time your past eleven because we wanna get spots here and then. And we'll get you off the pit reporters for all of you listing on WGR here buffalo. Okay Paul. Well the goalies were both wonderful it's it's it's unfortunate that one of them had to go down tonight but that's what happens in this format of the shoot But I would say overall and many fans are calling in with this thought tonight then Miller is in a nice groove right now. There is certain you know as much as we talk about the sabres missing their chances. In New York Rangers missed their chances you know I mean it's an opportunity not only a one balls. In person that operate for something like that. And you know when you and you know right now you know their orders in the dark out or was not there for the five operate is not the number two power play not get the ice time. I'm not out there this year on these waters should opt for the sabres this year. But yet he didn't get an opportunity to shoot when you know before him. So I think his message lawyers. Especially after that player what do they were in a way out to block the shop that that. You know what that's it's just not good enough you know watch this anymore. I'm I don't know why it took. And so now I mean I've been at that point in common how long and you know about. It's just. And you know he gets the opportunity. Urquhart we kick ball and this is the guy who you know Capel is thirty goals and an almost appointed game. And what does he do very quiet OpenId couple hundred dollar and one quarter down drop out often. Pop the post. Then you know bananas sorry Mary Watson and you are deeper that money shot at the polls I mean in the shootout so. Most of the opportunities the bullet opportunity to have a popular this is right on top problem and you get in stopping along the ice and boys try to peak come out try to all the pat opened really that Hewitt played at Egypt into deep. To be able flop that up and over arms so. on a Playboy them out forested everything he could. When he was entitled power play to try to get Lundqvist. Allow him to score that goal but there was no way with an optical. you and I we spoke after forty minutes we're talking about how on entertaining it was to watch this game tonight but. In the third it got good Leo it got even better and of course everyone was standing. Here in the building to watch the shoot out. Yeah there was certain viewers shame. That they call the penalty on and that's what's what and apparently but it also got plans go to the awful penalty killers. What justice what so we can golf overtime buffalo got a penalty it's not just look what she's heard inaudible. Mean no confidence in their penalty killing but that's what economic talked about you know if you wanted to talk about injuries they actually penalty killers were. And I think now you're getting a chance to see how well they can go whip their regular it's one golf one golf and Noble's. Actually no one shootout but against the So and Miller by the way it does give credit or shut up tonight there only aviary Chuck credit shut out game. And enough. So after you've been there you know the defense. Including a penalty killing at a much better but that's for robbery was going to aren't just to watch box that in the balance. Just blocked shot after shot not give the Rangers anything and just player as well as they did it. That's gonna go a long ways to help them straighten things out be able to get that penalty killing straightened out. Now they have to figure out how to get the power play good because. Well if you're gonna win hockey you're gonna have to score power play goal or two and that's one thing they don't do and that's one of the reasons they don't score night after night. between this Wednesday of next Wednesday the sabres will have just one game played before next Wednesday night's game. So they've gotten five out of the last six they blew themselves up into a tie for eleventh however. On New Jersey has an opportunity obviously in between there their and eighth right now to. Push the sabres margin of nine points to double digits and this five out of six feel good moment here for a moment you could actually be. More behind you were when this whole thing started which is going to show and remind everybody in we should do that. This climb back up isn't that all of a sudden happen we just a few good games it's going to be very very tough to do. Well that's the thing and you can get away with tonight if people want to win on Long Island. Then not you once you know your your heart in war. And then you've taken six out of southern. And you know that's how you that's how you get it done you know when you're you're you're a lot of good up front like that's been going at one point out of it for don't know that get away with that. Especially when your plane it's not gonna touch. But yet you give up sort of arranger but not a big deal that what he gave up two to Winnipeg. Her somebody's record or somebody directly out of you. So. You aren't about 100. Practice get ready. The other good thing is that if it is only a week for may be going one more game. And then maybe you'll get him back for next Wednesday's game at all so Nowak could be a lot of the sabres to. A lot of the other and once once it's in all around your sit here talking about and could be further behind. Yeah. Okay also Saturday is next on Long Island as you mentioned and have a safe trip to the coliseum and will speak on Saturday on three game. Hamilton great work tonight in the locker room and tonight we know the goalies with a two stars of the show but that Lundqvist in the end it's the first star honors for the win and he's our hot player of the game. Brought you by primary heating and air the problem with your furnace the that was enough comfort call driver 6948524. In the game. Did not start off so entertaining it got good and it was great late high intensity in the building fans into it. And that Lindy Ruff even I don't think he was taking a shot at the fans but I'll go ahead and and say it. Not to quote said at the end at the near the end of his press conference how. The fans. Were into it late it pushed us to play harder. I don't I don't think meant anything wrong by it but I'll go ahead and say that is a memo to anybody that come to this building. For the rest of the season. You can. Push the team. And instead of booing the other team's player that has the pocket or booing obese fans and they do their chance toward tonight when they were doing let's go Rangers chance the future and house. Supporting the home team even though right now I know there's not much to be excited about it of them in the standings but yes you can have an impact and you know I'll speak at a because I met every single home game the atmosphere in this building has been downright very poor four a lot of contest and A lot of you would say you have a right to because of the product and it has been quite watch and I don't have an argument against that however. In tight games and in situations when you feel like the team needs a lift and the head coach at the the fans pushed to play harder tonight and I know that there's a lot of talk out there one way or the other from fans that hey I'm not here and if it's garbage and you have that right it is and there's a lot of fans that don't wanna get on other fans for. For not supporting the team and we've heard you know things here and there this year by the atmosphere in this building as compared to others it's. Has been quite weakening in here other national media members and other writers saying the same thing so. Maybe a little bit more to think about that the sabres. Tonight began a stretch of nine of their next eleven here in this building a very key stretch for them to play well. At home one nothing Rangers when it's and a shootout put a wrap on our post game the pit reporters. Coming up next for all of you listing on Sports Radio five the near buffalo.

    Wed, 1 Feb 2012

    Well the goalies were both wonderful it's it's it's unfortunate that one of them had to go down tonight but that's what happens. In this format of the shoot but I would say overall and their many fans are calling in with this thought tonight that Miller is in a nice groove right now. There certain you know as much as we talk about the sabres missing their chances. In New York Rangers missed delicate system. I mean it's an opportunity not only a one balls. person that operate more like that. And in our group when and you know right now you know their orders in the dark out or there for the five operating is not the number two power play not get the ice time. I'm not out there this year on these waters should opt for the sabres this year. But yet he didn't get an opportunity to shoot when don't want forum. So I think message bearer Especially after the player what do they were you in a way out to block the shot that there. You know what that's it's just not good enough you know watch this anymore. I don't know why it took. And so now I mean I've been at that point in common how long and you know that. It's just. And you know he gets the opportunity. Perfectly capable of and that is the guy you know Capel is thirty goals and an almost appointed game. And what does he do very quiet OpenId couple hundred dollar one quarter and down not that often. Off the post then you know bananas sorry Aaron Watson. Here and not shot at the polls. I mean in the shootout so. Those of the opportunities the opportunity to have a popular wrapped up this is right on top problem and in nothing along the ice and boys try to seek them out try to all the pat opened really that play at pictures in too deep. To be able that up in all arms so. Gary on a Playboy them out voice and our everything he could. When he was entitled power play to try to get Lundqvist are allowed him to score that goal but there was no way be able to set up and over. you and I we spoke after forty minutes we're talking about how on entertaining it was to watch this game tonight but. In the third it got good in the it got even better and of course everyone was standing here in the building to watch the shoot out. Yeah there was then you know shame. That they called the title Leon and that's what's what and apparently but it also got its and an awful and we killers. What justice what so we can golf overtime buffalo got a penalty yourself she's very proper inaudible. Mean it's a no confidence in their penalty killing but that's what the economic talked about you know if you wanted to talk about injuries they actually penalty killers were. And I think now you're getting a chance to see how well they can go where they're regular deeper it's one golf one goal and no goals. Actually no one shootout but against the that. So and Miller by the way it does give credit or shut out tonight there only aviary Chuck credits shut out game. And enough. So after you've been there you know the deep. Including the penalty killing at a much better but that's for robbery was going to your. Aren't just to watch in the band's. Just blocked shot after shot not give the Rangers anything and just player as well as they did it. Gonna go a long ways to help them straighten things out be able to death penalty killing straightened out. Now they have to figure out how to get the power play good because. Well if you're gonna win hockey games you're gonna have to score power play goal or two pair one thing they don't do and that's what the reason they don't score night after night. All between this Wednesday of next Wednesday the sabres will have just one game played before next Wednesday night's game. So they've gotten five out of the last six they blew themselves up into a tie for eleventh however. On New Jersey has an opportunity obviously in between there and eighth right now to. Push the sabres margin of nine points to double digits and this five out of six feel good moment here for a moment you could actually be. More behind you were when this whole thing started which is going to show and remind everybody in we should do that. This climb back up isn't that all of a sudden happen we just a few good games it's going to be very very tough to do. Well that's the thing and you can get away with tonight if you win on Long Island. Then not you once you know your your heartbeat in war. And and you've taken six out of southern. And you know that's how you that's how you get it done when you're you're you're a lot of good effort like this and one point not a don't already get away with that. Especially when your plane that scene that you're not gonna touch. When did you give up sort of arranger but it's not a big deal about what he gave up two to Winnipeg. Her somebody is record one or somebody directly out of you. So. You aren't about one will. Go practice spoke your credit. The other good thing is that if it is only a week for maybe only missed one more game. And then maybe you'll get him back for next Wednesday's game at all so Nowak could be a lot of the sabres to. But on the other and once once it's in all around your sit here talking about and in the could be further behind. Yeah. Okay also Saturday is next on Long Island as you mentioned and have a safe trip to the coliseum and will speak on Saturday on three game.

    Category and not. They proved it tonight. There's still you guys had how many folks I mean one in overtime one in the shoot out a couple in regulation. Just. I don't I own a team and its many polls. That's and it's been tough we've just got to dig deeper and find a way to put him away. But we're playing better. We're not handing any free opportunities were making for their properties were. We're limiting their rush opportunities with is constantly talk to vote in I think by playing better defensively. giving yourself ourselves a better chance to win. We've been we've been getting points and it's just unfortunate that tonight we too at this time of year. I mean we definitely need to him once again I mean you get the Goldman Tyler it's poster you and yeah it was a I mean it's not not an easy situation going. Mean you'd much rather go and when you have a chance to win that but we're ever to stick with that and then and put one away and and so made a good shot. Tens of the post and going notes. Relate that to go to the other way and but again. I think both goalies were played extremely well made some big saves for both teams both teams battled hard and we just I was can finally put one to penalty I mean these guys had big one in overtime and just talking on my father through the effort that went into that yeah I mean guys that we're out of there in the treated a great job. With their shot lanes paying the price. The block shots and Davison up to you after that. To get something going on four and yet if those guys a lot of credit is. It's not an easy job to do and and they they did well well when he plays that well ride it places while he did in. Yeah that's I mean he he played as he played really well he's been playing really well for us giving us a chance to win and I think he he made some key saves at key times. It was a battle between both. Probably two of the best goalies in the end. They're not she's not easy to score aren't. I got to find a way I mean tell try and beats either one of them with with the first option and that's where you gotta. Shoot for rebounds and maybe. Get a crack at the second opportunity in. Either team has it do. Talk about the other side of things the power play specified period of passing this around us I mean you really didn't pass the puck or the entries were brokered either nor they did a good job denying us the entries that five on three. I think we got to I we are trying to pass it around. And I tried to move once. Offer which he would have probably had an open shot. People who want that in the past about that backwards. At the same time I think we gotta we gotta generate shots and then the other plays opened up and or we wanted to do that educational practice we'll came from impacting you.
