Sabres After-Action Report - 11/12 Season - Game 7

Of all the players on the Lightning to get fifteen seconds alone in front of the net, why did it have to be Martin St. Louis? That guy has more shifts than a factory. And what was he doing so far behind the play? I thought he was "defensively responsible" or something now. Jerk.

Meanwhile, Leino is clearly a double-agent sent over from Philly to torment Sabres fans; I know it's crazy but what proof do we have that isn't true? I bet he will continue to score just enough not to get benched (I'm thinking like .3 to .4 ppg) while handing the puck over to the other team at the worst possible times. Someone better check his bank accounts for transfers from the Wachovia Center.

Speaking of big free-agent acquisitions making terrible turnovers, how about Christian Ehrhoff putting one on the tape for Dominic Moore in the slot? Geeeeeeeeeeeeeez. Good thing it was Dominic Moore and not St. Louis.

On top of all that crap, we had to watch Tampa Bay clog the neutral zone and simulate what it would look like if all their players turned into goalies in the defensive zone. Stop collapsing to the crease and let us score, nerds! If the Sabres are using lasers to improve puck movement at the FNC -- and they actually are! -- then I bet Guy Boucher wants to use a snow machine to slow the game down in Florida. The Sabres didn't even play that badly and they still only averaged 7 shots per period. I hope that when Winnipeg moves to the Western Conference next year they take Tampa Bay with them.

Hey look! It's Guy Boucher's favourite book!
