This is one thing i've though abotu for sure. Hence the whole "we should be a bubble team, but could end up anywhere this season".
"luck" will have a much greater impact on the outcome of this season

Well IIRC, that was when Kane started blindly crashing nets and goalies, Wheeler got his angry face, Enstrom was out, and Slater was winning the big draws .... and this is all starting to happen now, so fingers crossed.

Also, it is when Pavelec posted a career best sv% looking at 10 game spans (0.930%)...
Last night also started too look like that, both statistically and also his game (positioning and mental)...
Definitely fingers crossed!
Going back to the Dennis Beyak talk for a moment here; I find he has been off his game, excitement-wise, when the Jets are on the road. It seems like he needs the crowd cheering to get him excited about a big hit or a Jets offensive opportunity. It's easy to get excited about goals, nice plays and big hits need excitement too.
The last couple of away games have had these instances, especially hits, and Beyak hasn't even mentioned them.
He also never misses an opportunity to mention when two players of the same number are battling for the puck. I'm not complaining, it's just a humourous observation.

As uninspired as we look in our downfunks sometimes, Buffalo last night just looked checked out. Lindy's got nothing to complain about though. He's had a great run and will get another shot I'm sure.

Congrats to you Sabres fans: Ruff was obviously a very good coach, but it appears that the players have finally tuned him out.

The number of times I've heard "... a pair of <insert number here>..." is astounding. He never does miss it. Ever. And it's always 'a pair of', like playing cards.

I watched the game on mute because I was watching it on myipad in a loud public place. It was the best game of the year for some players by far.

I unfortunately was on the ferry from Victoria to Vancouver during the game so I only had updates on my phone following here, AIH, twitter and a few other places...
So I decided to watch the game today, just finished:
LLW: They had chemistry of last season, although I don't know about best games other than Wheeler, as a unit it was their best game for sure.
KBA: Kane played dynamite enough to make up for Burmistrov having (IMO) his first bad game of the season (although he was pretty good in the first) and Antropov having difficulties constantly with a bouncing puck.
TJW: Tangradi looked decent, Jokinen looked strongest of the line but still has yet to see lady luck (his scoring chances are higher than last season but he can't seem to win any), Welly wasn't a liability, nor was he awesome, just what you'd expect for a possession 3rd liner.
WST: Slater's strongest overall game for sure, Wright was awesome and Thorburn was Thorburn. I understand liking Thorburn for his toughness and presence in the room, but honestly, if you could get even 80% of those two things, but then have the talent/abilities of Wright or Slater on that line it would overall have a much greater effect.
Hainsey-Bogosian: If all our D were healthy, this would be our second pair... and that's why (if all our D are healthy) our D depth is actually pretty awesome. Definitely great games by both. It was noted on Arctic Ice Hockey that Buffalo's top line didn't get one shot on goal or missed shot attempt in the whole game when on this pair.
Clitsome-Byfuglien: I don't mind Clitsome as a #8... but this pair scares the **** out of me. Clitsome is not on the same planet of ability as Enstrom. Enstrom, please come back soon!
Stuart-Postma: Postma had his scary moments, and he also had the benefits of being who he is... to me he's medium risk and high reward. Stuart IMO has played better this season than last, but man he's gifted more offensive opportunities than the rest of our D, and rarely can he make anything come of it... Oh well, they are both good for a third pair!
OH... PS....
I watched this game from MSG stream (ie: the away commentators
)

One poster asked (rhetorically, probably) if the loser of last night's game would also lose their coach, but he got jumped on for saying it.

Team is clearly hazardous to my health.
Woke up and was on the toilet about 10 times, thought that was it but then my body changed direction and have been puking ever since.
Haven't thrown up in years and suddenly after this game I can't stop. FU Jets.

From the vast majority of Sabres fans: Thank you, Winnipeg! Nothing against Ruff, as he was a good guy til the end and used to be a good to very good coach, and he will definitely latch on elsewhere, but it was time for a change for the Sabres.
May you either (a) go on a sick run to the playoffs or (b) NOT do what the sabres have done the past 3 or 4 years: Make a heroic run to 9th or 10th, miss the playoffs, and screw up their draft positioning

Hope you're right man.
Didn't eat for 29 hours...my teammate wasn't able to eat for 36. Violent sickness ended for both of us within 12 hours...gotta watch the dehydration - will make you feel really crumby for a few days
