now that i have your attention, how many times have we seen the sabres in a similar position that tampa found themselves in tonight?...especially, it seems, when buffalo was up against the flyers...
on many occasions over the past 3+ seasons we've seen the sabres play competitive hockey only to have a late second period goal against change the momentum heading into the third period...how many times have we seen the sabres implode into a fetal position when the going got tough and pressure began to mount?...
tampa bay fell apart after the controversial, game-tying goal from jordan leopold early in the third period and proceeded to give up four more unanswered goals thereafter...how many times have we seen the sabres wilt like that after a questionable call that went against them?...
that was not typical sabres hockey tonight vs. the lightning, at least post-driere...
regardless of the past, regardless of what some may think of the absence of derek roy, regardless of the status of tim connolly, craig rivet, rob niedermayer or anyone else, the fact of the matter remains that the sabres are climbing towards the top-eight in the eastern conference...
next up is florida...can they finally win three in a row for the first time this season? (shrugs)
stick to the mantra: two points, by any means necessary
