  1. There is no better representation of our season than the clearing pass that hits Okposo, knocks him down, comes back into our zone and onto the Habs' stick for a goal. 

    Right.  And how was that not offsides?  I need to take another look....

     

    ...took another look.  It's offsides.  Am I losing my mind?

  2. What the hell is wrong with this team?  Coaching sucks a$$, Defense, blah, no energy, too inconsistent.  Coaching, and GMTM should start looking at want ads, 

    Re: no energy.  R O'Reilly needs to own some of that as well.  

     

    Call in the builders.

    We need to build an addition to the Bogo Bunker.

    Make some space for me.  Reluctantly.  North country native, old-schooly, :ph34r: etc .  Suck.

  3. Have you ever considered an asphalt rink with a 2 inch curb all around? No need for a tarp liner. Just fill with water. (You do leave a drain hole in the corner that you plug.)

    Interesting idea.  Do you have experience with this?  I'd guess it would be well into the thousands.....but less than a refrigeration system.  I think refridge is the way to go if you have a lot of cash.  We've skated 1 day so far this year, and forecast is for next 10 days (roc).

  4. McDavid and the Oilers losing to Philly for Philly's 7th straight win, McDavid chirping up Manning, the guy that put him into the boards last season. McDavid ain't your quite little Canadian, folks. He's kinda a dick

     

    Oh and Price got some contact by a Devils player and stood over him and just kept punching him until other NJ players arrived. Got some good shots in too

    Was a fun night.  I caught most of the EDM v PHI game.  Didn't like the outcome but was highly entertained.  McDavid post game "Manning admitted he did it on purpose, no class".  I gotta think he was trolling him, right?  

  5. Here's an interesting comparison between Edmonton's rebuild and ours;  much has been said of Eichel's injury making the Sabres rebuild look so poor compared to Edmonton.  Ok well, the Buffalo roster has scored a total of 68 player points.    Edmonton = 110 points.  Now, of course Connor McDavid is off the charts - 18 points already.   But, the REST of the Edmonton Roster has an aggregate 92 points -  24 points more than the entire Buffalo roster.  

     

    Oilers are getting production across the board from their roster, even factoring out their star McDavid.  Buffalo OTOH, is clearly NOT!!  A lot of money has been spent on this team for what seems to be very little!   Kane, Gorges, ad nauseum.  And those players can't be blamed on the previous regime - that's squarely on the shoulders of Tim Murray.  As well as decisions to retain Regier Era players like Ennis.  

     

     

    It's my first year with Nhl.tv or whatever it is called.  I've watched 7 or 8 Edmonton games this season.  Like, I'm more excited for them than I am the Sabres games.  Not pulling for Oilers to win, just enjoy watching entertaining / fast / skilled hockey.  To your point, I agree, it's a lot more than Eichel's absence.

  6. I am continually impressed with the play of ROR. It's the only good take-away I had from last night's game...............

     

    I thought this was Zemgus's best game of the year so far.

    I thought on the whole the Sabres were the more physical team led by Z, Gorges, Foligno and McCabe.  Kinda tired of looking for positives in losses at this point, but the difference last night was the dumb penalties (OReilly, Z, McCabe, Grant), Lehner laying an egg, and the lack of elite finishing skill amongst our forwards. 

  7. Yea.. that sweet pass to Moulson from behind the net made him look horrible.

     

    Insanity.

    Yup.  Best pass of the game.  And on the ice for all 3 goals (though admittedly not a massive part in them).  That high stick sucked though.

     

    Picked a bad year to draft him on my fantasy team

    Same.

  8. Player to watch out for: Lucic.

    And Kassian.  Maybe he's turned the corner?  He's played 10 and 12 minutes respectively, pk unit.  Certainly way less pressure w/ this roster (+lucic) than he would have had here.  Maybe he scores 20 this year?

     

    As a hockey fan, Edmonton is awesome.  As Sabres fan, yeah depressing.

     

    Burning question - SEKara or SeKARa?

  9. Thinkin Ennis might be rusty

    He looks terrible.

    Trade for Emelin, he looks great.

    Risto lost me with that terrible interview he gave Schopp and BD the other day.  Sounded really dumb.  Maybe its because english is his 2nd language?  They were lobbing softballs and he was dazed.  It's not that hard bud.  If you can't figure out how to do an interview how can you figure out how to be a dominant professional athlete?  Talent alone doesn't cut it.
