It wasn't the loss of Vanek that lost the game, it was gaining Tim Connolly over Hecht.

We got the lead back and the team was still flat...

Boston owned center ice because without Hecht we're pretty weak up the middle.


This.

I will agree. But today the reason we lost was because we let off the gas. This is the playoffs, you DON'T let of the gas..EVER

Bruins are without Savard and the Sabres SHOULD be able to still succeed without Vanek.

One guy does not a team make.

Or shouldn't.

We lost Vanek and the game, I know you might not agree but I don't see us winning the series without him. He was playing really well. First Hecht, now (maybe) Vanek, not good.


Nah I agree. I think we need everyone healthy at the same time if we're
going to win this series.

But I don't think losing Vanek is exactly why we lost. Why did Kaleta stop hitting? Why couldn't connolly hit anybody with a pass?

We need to correct that for monday.

It was more like perfectly lucky bounces off Bruin's sticks to the open guy.

Two of their goals came on a Bruin player passing to one guy, but it bounced off their stick to the open guy for a goal.

Also the goal that jump in the air was more luck then anything. And Chara's second goal bounced off of Pominville's stick or it most likely would have been stopped. The Bruins only scored on fluke bounces and luckiness mostly.

But every series that has two games played is tied at 1-1 now. The main part was they took the gas off in the second once again, yet came with a lead. Losing Vanek hurt us since we only then had one good enough line to score, yes the fourth line was amazing but I wasn't expecting them to score again.

Yep...another disappointing 2nd period, and even though we HAD an undefeated record when leading going into the third, that doesn't mean you can just coast your way to a win. Whatever.

All Vanek info should go in viewtopic.php?f=15&t=3021

I will be moving them there and other mods, you will need to as well.

I'd say we played the first 30 minutes. Maybe only the first 25. Either way, you're right.

No offense, but the arena ushers don't know diddly.

That being said, that did look like a bad one, ACL/MCL possibly. Not promising at all.

Also remember, this is only game two, it's not over until a team wins 3 more games.

Quit jumping off them after ONE single loss in a playoff round. Don't expect us to win 4 straight games.

The fact that the Bruins got lucky wasn't why the Sabres lost; the fact that they sat back, let the Bruins get lucky and then didn't respond until they had a knife to their throats was why they lost. They put in a full sixty minutes but just come short due to a few bad bounces, then fine. They coast through half the game, have some bounces against and lose, I'm still pissed.

Sitting back with a two goal lead is fine in, say, April when you've got a playoff spot locked up. Sitting back with a two goal lead does not fly once the playoffs start.

We lost because we were making half ass passes that turned into turnovers. The last 2 goals were off turnover, even if they were lucky bounces into the net.

Unfucking believable god I hate the Bruins just like I did when I use to live in Buffalo. I just pray that Vanek isn't out longterm because it didn't look good him heading back to the bench.

We'll see this as a character building loss if they stay on point and finish it up the next time around.

That being said, I'm glad the streak is over so that it can stop being talked about like it's an automatic.
