DuckRost tonite.

Kings Ducks in a Home/Home with playoff implications...there have never been bigger games between these two. I love it.

GO KINGS!

 

[PhillyPuckNut]

Flyers can clinch the Atlantic tonight with a win and a Pens loss in regulation or overtime/shootout. Briere is back in the lineup tonight after missing the last 4 games with an injury. Bobrovsky will start in net after it was announced that Leighton would be between the pipes after he cleared waivers.

Sorry guys, I'm really rooting against the Pens tonight.

 

[pghbuccos]

no need to be sorry Paul as I am rooting against the Flyers tonight :twisted:

GO SABRES!!!

 

[pghbuccos]

Mike Rupp makes it 1-0 Pens.

Eric Godard with an assist.

Godard and Gillies fight on the faceoff right after the goal.

the refs give both players 5 minutes for fighting and 10 minute misconducts. the refs are going to keep this game in check.

----------------------------------------------------

Konopka and Asham go at it.

the refs give Konopka 2,5 and 10. Asham gets 5 for Fighting.

----------------------------------------------------

Michael Grabner is ridiculously fast

Richards and Briere put the Flyers up 3-2. Briere haunts the Sabres. I wish they still had him.

Tonight is fan appreciation for the Sabres. Unfortunately I didn't have a ticket but they invited any Sabre alum back for the game. Before the game they had a red carpet event for the former players where you could get autographs. I decided to go down to the arena since I already had a ticket for the Buffalo Bisons game (AAA New York Mets). There were guys that played from the 70's to the 00's. There were 2 to 3 rows deep of people so I didn't get as many autos as I would have liked but got Rhett Warrener, Jay Mckee, and Daren Puppa to sign. Sorry for the large pictures.

Cmon Sabers, at least get to OT

 

[pghbuccos]

very cool auto's sabresfreak. especially the McKee.

 

[pghbuccos]

the Islnaders had a goal waived off and then scored 20 seconds later.

3-3 in OT now.

 

[sabresfreak]

Gerbe tied it at 3.

Lindy put Miller in at the start of the 3rd.

 

[pghbuccos]

Pens and Isles going to the Shootout.

 

[pghbuccos]

the Pens win the Shootout and clinch at least 4th Place in the East

Chris Kunitz is the only player to score in the Shootout.

 

[PhillyPuckNut]

Flyers/Sabres is going to overtime. I guess they needed the point to make it to the playoffs.

Sorry, wasn't paying attention to that. :lol:

 

[pghbuccos]

that was pretty frustrating watching the Sabres kill the clock with 30 seconds remaining :twisted:

 

[pghbuccos]

Vanek needed to score that goal 2 minutes ago.

 

[sabresfreak]

Sabres are playoff bound!!!! Game tied at 3 going into overtime.

Vanek won the game in OverTime!!!!!!!!

 

[PhillyPuckNut]

Unbelievable.

People can talk about the Flyers goaltending all they want. If the defense was worth a damn there wouldn't be a goaltending problem. Letting guys in on breaks, leaving people completely uncovered, and not taking the body leads to **** like this.

Damnit.
