  1. I hear you, but as anyone with Centre Ice can attest, it's pretty much an industry-wide thing.  

     

    Rick may be a little slower than his prime, but i'll take him over the cookie cutty PbP guys most teams s

     

    I do agree with this; my point wasn't to nitpick. Despite his imperfections, he's OUR RJ .............what's funny is how much other fan boards can't stand his goal call. Oh well.

  2. I never get tired of RJ's goal calls as well as his knowledge of the game. However, he is showing signs of being a half-step behind. The only knock I have on him is his use of nondescript "filler" language: my biggest pet peeve is "insert player name tries to get away" - overused ad nauseum and this one does not accurately describe the play - at all.

  3. If we are toiling around the bottom of the league, might as well see what some of the kids can do. I think Carrier, Dupuy, Rodrigues or Kaleta all would have been better options. Hell, Jack Nevins has taken on all comers, rewarding him with a game or two would have shown the kids that his type of attitude is what they seek. I know 4 of the 5 I mentioned are on AHL deals but at some point making a statement is needed.

     

    I think we all know what Kaleta can (and can’t) do

  4. We had no penalties called on us for the first 57 minutes of the game.  Then three in the last 3 minutes immediately after we got the lead.

     

    ;)

    unfortunately they were all legitimate calls, it's just not customary for the refs to call a second minor once the first one has been called. The ref calling the penalty on Risto may not have seen the call on Gorges.

     

    The Sabres performance on shootouts is really lacking this year. They all seem to get in too tight to the goalie then handcuff themselves. That near empty net goal would have iced it. 

  5. I'm with you.  And if it were Rob Gronkowski wanting to come home to Buffalo rather than Stamkos wanting to go home to Toronto, well, what then, nfreeman?

     

    anyone have any inkling as to Gronk's affinity for his hometown? Somehow I have gotten the feeling that Buffalo (the city & area) is not that big of a deal for him....though I could be wrong

  6. according to the current replay rules they got the call right w/ Gio being offsides. But the way this replay rule has been written & implemented is hurting the game. That was a sick pass and great finish, and the offside did not give Buffalo a material advantage on the play.

     

    If the NHL wants to keep worrying about decreasing goals per game and fan discontent as a major sport, the NHL needs to revisit and sh*tcan this replay crap in its current format.

  7. I have some problems with Bylsma so far.  I am open-minded, but he makes questionble decisions.  Anyway, if this team finishes in the last five, it's on him.  (Barring injuries of course.)

     

    This team is underperforming.  Bigtime.

     

    I am legitimately curious about your opinion of DB; are his decisions merely of the line combination variety, or are you referring to others ?
