    Well guys, we can talk til we're blue in the face about the effort tonight or how close we were to scoring. The bottom line, however, is that the team has won 8 out of 23 games this season.

     

    I'm not burying them or anything, but it's starting to feel like we're not watching a playoff team here.

    Starting to? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

     

    They haven't looked like a playoff team since free agency started this Summer. :wallbash:

    Not a fan of the boos. Remember when Pommers had the highest shooting % on the team? Whatever happened to that guy??

    Not a fan of the boos, huh? What's the problem? Were they not loud enough? They weren't for me. Even with Miller in net they would have had to score at least one goal to win. This team is not very good and those 2 points they need to get to make the playoffs are not going to be easy to get.

    Looked like a bit of both to me, but whatever... it is what it is.

    I'm not sayin' I haven't seen worse not called, but I wasn't surprised they called it, especially against golden boy's team.

     

    On another note, that trip on Crosby looked just like the one on Vanek last game that wasn't called. I love the NHL.

    You guys can complain about Lalime all you want. For me, I knew the game was lost as soon as Lindy gave his patented wave off to the refs, cards in hand, when Connolly's goal got called back. Look Lindy, it was not a goal. With Vanek hitting the pipe earlier and Lalime in net, your group of fragile little children just aren't strong enough to keep playing if they see then see their coach giving up as well. Also, maybe if you weren't so fed up with the refs over that, you would have gotten some of those calls later in the game.

     

    Lindy should thank Lalime, He gave him the perfect excuse for the loss. Until this team can win with Lalime in the regular season, they are not going to win in the postseason with Miller.

    Amen to that. Both Gaustad and McCormick had great games last night and the whole team played with a bit more edge and were finishing checks.

     

    The key with that style game is everyone has to pitch in and take turns especially in back to backs. That kind of style takes a toll on a player if only one or two players do it game in and game out. Bruised body's, knuckles, dislocated fingers etc. are almost automatic in hard hitting/fighting games anymore because of the body armor and helmets.

     

    I clamour for that as much as anyone on this board although I know it's not possible for any team to play every game in a season that hard.

     

    We can however execute a tight checking finish our checks and drive the net style game in and game out and thats what I hope to see again tonight. Thomas vanek please keep playing the way you have so we can start the TV for captain campaign.

     

    Just win B'lo.

    People jumped on Rivet for his early penalty, but he had a pretty good game in front of the net as well. He was beating the ###### out of people and not letting them get to loose pucks. The refs really let them play. There was lots of carnage in front of both nets that they usually call. I wish they called every game like that.

    It's an opportunity cost. They had two choices: pay Vanek $50 million or receive 4 first-round picks. So, the cost of keeping him versus not was $50 million and 4 first-round picks.

    That's just semantics and it also doesn't factor in what it would have cost the Sabres to let him go (and there would have been a cost to let him go). How much would those four first round picks have cost with no guarantee of any of them being as good as Vanek? Would anyone have bought season tickets having lost all three of it's stars in on off season?

     

    IMO, Vanek is worth it. He's here and four possible stars aren't, get over it.

    Dont put words in my mouth you fool. First off, I said he was heading towards becoming biggest bust of all time, and st the time he was playing like crap and team was mid way through November with out a home win. Hater? I hate him? Where did you get this? Because I think he isn't worth $50 mill and four first round picks I can't call for him to be on the ice? Do me a favor, just do not reply to any of my posts I'll do the same to yours, sound good chum?

    Vanek did not cost $50 mil and four first round picks. He only cost $50 mil.

    Can pominville do anything other than a slap shot? I can't recall a player so unwilling to do anything else. He's taken more 12 foot slappers than the rest of the league combined. Can't that be coached?

     

    Hey pommers, ya know you can wrist the puck in those situations sometimes there hoser. /coach speak

    This is BRILLIANT hockey analysis. I'm being completely serious. I bet if he made that one change his scoring doubles.

     

    Here's another one,

     

    Hey Jochen, you've had four breakaways the last two games and done the same thing on each of them. Next time, force yourself to the front of the net and crash the ###### out of the goalie. You're a big guy. Stop skating past the net so that you don't even give yourself a chance at a rebound, you hoser. /coach speak

    I thought the same thing, Swampy. I don't think it was reviewed at all. Maybe not a 'kicking' motion, but definitely directed into the net with his skate.

    PA said that every goal is reviewed, but I don't think that's true. I thought it was by the request of the head ref. Either way, the Sabres deserved to get scored on with the way they were playing. Once they decided to play, Washington didn't score again, granted, they didn't have to, but I think they were still trying.
