K-9

In reading some commentary on Krebs’s fight, I hope people aren’t losing sight of the big picture. It doesn’t matter if Krebs got his ass kicked or not, doesn’t matter if he landed a punch or not, doesn’t matter if he left the ice bleeding or not. The only thing that matters is he was willing to engage when challenged.

Where does the elbow end and the schnoz begin?

Sabres should send that to the league’s officiating office. That is so blatant as to bring into question the integrity of the game. Just atrocious on every level.

Can teams bring this crap to the league’s attention like they do in the NFL? Are NHL refs graded on a game by game basis also like the NFL?

When I compare that attitude to some of the ungrateful losers who had no pride in that jersey, that’s all I need to know. So glad Tuch is here and is a part of our resurgence.

I agree with 99% of the bold. The other 1% is derived from the fact that I’ve completely given up on Mitts and VO. They are nothing more than passengers at this point.

The look on Krebs’s face skating off the ice while pumping his fists was priceless.

Tough decision to make, but a nice one to have.

Bruins have been living in the Sabres’ heads for a long time. We have to get over that psychological hump at some point, why not today?

Some interesting food for thought regarding the Dahlin/Samuelsson discussion. For me it’s kind of simple: Dahlin is far, far, far better defensively than Mule is offensively, so he stays in the lineup.

Sens tie it at 3 on the PP. And now get another PP because the Amerks can’t stay out of the sin bin.

3-2 at the end of two.

Have you been watching him play with the Amerks? He sucks and our easy to crack lineup notwithstanding, I still wonder how he made our roster. Then again, DG tends to favor players he knows from his US Junior development days, so perhaps it’s not surprising at all.

Whenever I watch Bjork in the A, I wonder how he ever cracked our lineup in the first place. Jost has been a solid upgrade to say the least, a sneaky good move by KA.

How many times have we been here with Mitts? It is just as likely he disappears for several games rather than build on a good performance. Because we have been here so many times with Mitts.

I don’t disagree at all. Granato has to shorten the bench because he has a bottom three that can’t be trusted in crunch time. But that doesn’t mean Bryson and Clague don’t suck.

Gee, and here I was thinking it’s because they suck and simply can’t be trusted.

Shocker.

Our 3rd periods blow chunks.

Kyle!

Clague is a one man disaster.

No game in 10 days, no practice in a week? Not exactly a formula for success tonight. Never wanted to be more wrong about anything though.

He’d be a third pairing D on the Sabres. It’s not like he’d be the piece that puts us over the top. While it would be nice to have him, his loss doesn’t fill me with a sense of regret, either.

You can thank the CBA which strictly forbade any team activity of any kind on Dec. 24, 25, and 26. The Sabres’ only available option was to organize as a team on Tuesday morning, transport everything to Rochester, and attempt a flight to Columbus from there. This after not playing for more than a week. The logistics were against them the entire time.

He’s holding up pretty well in the A. Not exactly a gentle league.
