Habs vs.Sabres - First Place Edition

Notes on the third:

-Bell crowd aren't as knowledgeable as they used to be. Booing a legal check on Kostitsyn.

-It'd be nice if one of the millionaires took it into his head to score.

-Wiz is taking too long to tee up the shot. Miller's getting set every time.

-Speaking of Wiz, that's a hell of a scar he's going to have.

-Seriously? Is Cammalleri playing? Haven't seen him lately.

-Looks like AK has had his hairs dyed.

-They really should have stopped at three or four against the Wild. Now the week's quota is all used up.

-Muller's giving it to Engqvist (boy, that's hard to type) on the bench.

-Why are they all shooting on Miller's glove side? He's NOT going to be beaten there.

-Cammalleri's like the opposite of King Midas.

-Poor DD. Had the puck behind the net with all the time in the world and not a red-suited soul in front of the net.

-Their midget was better than our midgets.

-The other guys wanted it more tonight. The end.


Notes on the second:

-The penalty parade. All it needs is a few elephants.

-Gionta did a helluva job on the PK, winning puck battle after battle. He was like Braveheart, except for the disemboweling.

-AK's playing well tonight. Since he got freed from Gomez Island he's much more visible.

-Damn deflection. Mara should have had Gerbe there, but he's the sixth D on a healthy team. What can you do?

-Hmmm...having that shutout feeling. Haven't felt that way in a while.

-Absolutely no excuse for Martin having the fourth line out there with Picard on D. It's the recipe for "pinned in your zone" every time.

-Great flurry to finish. If the Habs come out like that to start the third, they've got a shot.


Notes on the first:

-Comment from non-hockey watching spouse: Gomez should be embarrassed to be on the same team as Desharnais.

-Good PP for a change. Lots of pressure, but Miller's good.

-Price is making me watch his knee on every play. Hope he's good.

-Unfortunate penalties. The boys look like they're marking time a little bit here, waiting for something to happen.

-Miller's sharper than broken glass.

-Ryan White sticks his tongue out a lot.

-Cautious period. Habs are thinking about first place.

Gomez and Cammalleri are dragging the Dogs down. What a shame. That's over 12 million in cap space down the drain for the next 4 seasons. That's depressing.

Tough loss, but with the addition of Boyes and the emergence of Ennis, the Sabres are now a real threat in the East. They now have two lines that can score, a healthy D core, all-star goaltending and great coaching. Washington might be going home in the first round again if they draw Buffalo.

The brilliance of your writing is in th subtle details... example: Looks like AK has had his hairs dyed... the subtle emphasis on AKs male pattern baldness is hairlarious!
