Portland wins 2-0 tonight. Enroth with 39 saves to get the shutout. Schutz and Caruana scored the Portland goals. They are 6-0-3 in their last 9 games.

Nice.. between JP doing well and Enroth coming back to form this is good news for the Pirates

Did Enroth's rejuvenation start after that one Sabres game he played?

Interesting, apart from one 5-4 OT loss, he's had a win record since then.

I actually went to the game since I live in "Manch-vegas." Pirates looked very sharp. Can't believe how small Gerbe is. Monarchs used to pull 9,000+ weekends and 5,000 mid-week. If there were 1,100 fans in the building I'd be surprised. A real shame.

Actually, not bad despite the loss. 2.00 GAA, 32/34 = 94 S% and the only two goals he let in were when they were short handed; the second coming at the end of a nearly two-minute 5-on-3.

Edit: oops, still going on. Is 2-2 now and Patty is up to 34/36.

Hey, I live in Manchester as well! Nice to know there is a fellow Buffalo fan around.

Bottom line -- Lalime loses, even in the AHL.

My first post! I'm another Born in Buffalo expatriate now living in Manchester. It's nice to have this site to go to, as the Boston bandwagon fans and press in N.E. are hard to take, and Jack Edwards on the Bruins telecasts is beyond obnoxious. True blue Sabres fans are nice to find, and maybe you, PTR and I can meet some time to catch a game. I would have been at the Monarchs/Pirates game this week but was sick.
BTW, I do know several other Buffalonians in this region, but I don't think they post on this site (yet!)
Cheers!

Looks like it. Pretty poor performance (statistically) tonight: 84.62 S%, 4.085 GAA.

Lamoureux had to be like "dude, wtf, I'm better than this guy."

[nobody]

But if you throw out the first period; he only gave up 1 goal on 19 shots. Just doing some Darcy rationalization techniques. ;)

Like the idea! April 9th is the best date for me, as it looks like I have commitments on the others. Should be plenty of good seats left then, since most folks stop going to the games after February! We can make plans as the date gets closer...

From what they said in the papers he still had a lights-out game..

[LabattBlue]

Portland wins 5-2. McCormick with a couple of goals. Enroth between the pipes.

PS I'd really like to see McCormick get a shot for a game or two on the 4th line.

Trust me. A lack of tickets is not a reason to worry. Even now it's buy a cheap seat and sit where you want.

Portland wins again, 7-1. Enorth in goal.
