les habi-taunts growing muffled

as the montreal canadians go o'fer...


the canadians saw plenty of nathan gerbe's back
as the smallest player in the league
netted two goals vs. the habs to start the canadians
ominous three game goal-less streak
0-le', 0-le', 0-le'...yup that's three 0's...as in zero's...as in shutouts in the last three games...

it's a drought that would make any sabres fan happy not only because buffalo was the team that started this streak by playing (what should be considered) a perfect road game in their 2-0 shutout of the habs, it also pulled them to within two points with a game in hand...

were the canadians feeling invincible after their 8-1 shellacking of the wild in minnesota?...ole'

were the canadians looking ahead to their first post zdeno chara/max pacioretty game when the sabres shut them down?...ole'

did they either take the wrong approach (go for the win instead of vengeance) because they really thought they could beat the bruins as a form of retribution?...or did they take that approach because they had no one willing to take on the likes of chara and milan lucic, among others?...either way, they came out on the losing end of a bad, 7-0 loss at the hands of the bruins...ole'

no, mr. (paul) mara, not "Every team in the season has a lapse where they lose 7-0, 8-1,"...that should be considered an epic fail, a total humiliation...yes, mr. [mike] cammalleri, the habs must "figure it out, and figure it out in a hurry"..."The thing about a lopsided game like this is that it’s less about the opponent and more about us and what we have to do to prepare for the playoffs,” Cammalleri said. “You can almost throw this game out as far as getting ready for the playoffs."

absolutely...except for the fact that you got shut out again...this time 2-0 to the washington capitals at home and left the ice to the boos of your fans...that two shutouts in a row at home...the three shutouts in a row for the club is unmatched since 1949...




and you know what?...couldn't happen to a nicer team...


i don't care that their fans boo the american national anthem...fine with me

i don't care if they burn down all of quebec after a win over edmonton...to each his own

what i do care about is the pressure they're feeling right now...the weight of going 186:05 without a goal coupled with the fact that they have two teams breathing down their necks in the standings...including the buffalo sabres...


another loss or two and they could be in jeopardy of missing the playoffs as opposed to "preparing for the playoffs...

like i said, couldn't happen to a nicer team...


OLE'!!!
