...

I'm not motion-sensitive, but this camera work is going to make me ill.

The ice; they're not making snow with their skates, they're making slush.

What'd they do, put pins in his hips?

Gotta get those commercials in!

I haven't had much of a problem with this game so far. The only thing that jumps out is how having Ennis back totally spoiled the lines.

I like everything about Ullmark except his inability to quickly get up once he's down on the ice.

Haha! Olde tymes.

"...our prices are INSANE!"

OMG, anyone remember the PIX video game contests on TV? "pix...pix...pix...pix..."

I haven't posted a thing about Foligno since the start of the season. Nope, not me.

Their passing, in the main, is looking sharp.

The goalie of the team we root for is looking pretty okay so far.

I'm not sure, yet, what to make of this, but when I watch other games, I generally don't see games with the same pace and sense of urgency as I do with Sabres games this season. Maybe it's me, but it seems since the Sabres are playing at a higher tempo this year, the opposing teams are matching (of course), but, again it's a higher energy level per game compared to other teams throughout the league.

I think your logic is backwards. The crowds at games are chanting "no means no" to him. He HAS to pursue a defamation suit if he can to help clear his name. As this thread illustrates, just having the case dismissed won't be enough PR for Kane or the Blackhawks.

I agree with this whole-heartedly. Both! Duh.

1) He didn't say that. He said "If the woman's claims are false...". That's a not in the same universe as "if no charges are brought". And, then, what happens...JJ gets beat down again because his statement is being twisted and the board goes to hell for a day because of it. Let's not go there. 2) Whether you can imagine it or not, nfreeman's point was predicated on a situation where it's provable the accusations WERE (known to be) false. I will add to nfreeman's and, I think, wildcard's thoughts by saying if Kane's legal team determines they have a shot at winning a defamation suit, then they should go in with both barrels blazing. The damage done to Kane's reputation is disgusting. The target of the suit doesn't have to be the accuser, either, just the source of the leaks. If this weren't leaked, no one would have known about the charges and impending dismissal, Kane would still be the NHL's favorite party boy, and the accuser wouldn't have to live with the public discussion weighing on her. I think exploring the possibility of extortion is just as valid as considering the possibility the accusations are true...until we have the facts to steer us in the right direction.

Wait. So let me get you all straight: if this doesn't go to a grand jury and the case is dropped, some of you still want to believe Kane is guilty of something and the accuser's claim still has merit?

That stands to ruin a lot of narratives.

What "antics" has Kane pulled since he's been a Sabre? That's the important question. This conversation started with someone asking how O'Reilly will handle Kane's "antics". Again, he hasn't done anything negative since he's been here and there's nothing to say he will in the future. As TBPhD pointed out, if you believe Kane is likely to pull some sh?t, then you must believe ROR is likely to be charged with DWI again. All I have seen of Sabrez Kane so far is a loyal company man.

The Sabres and the Oilers are tied for points. I thought by the way people were gushing over McJesus that the Oilers were far ahead.

I'm opposite of TBPhD here; my expectations were a little high, and only in this second Philly game did they come close to meeting the expectations I had. Presently, I have moderated what this team is and where I think it's at. I have reconsidered Murray's statements, Bylsma's musings, and things I've read here from posters I respect. The point I am at now is to not move assets to "solve" the goalie issue. I would rather wait until Lehner gets some real time in. I want to be patient and see how the band gels together, goalies included, because we're down high value assets and each move hence forth won't be as epic as the stuff we've seen from Murray hitherto. My guess is that we may prefer to spend on shoring up the D corp, see how that settles, and keep an eye on the goalie market. Between D-lo and Foligno, I am reminded that players can all of a sudden climb up to another plateau. I wouldn't want to regret spending anything on a goalie before giving the ones we have a decent chance to fit in. Miller could never get it right in St. Louis, and it took him a season to fit in with Vancouver, but now he looks pretty good.

Ryan O'Who: "...oh gosh..."

Anyone notice Leenus got his stick stuck in the net sometime before the Gorges hit? It was funny, like trying to walk through the gate with your stick horizontal.

Leenus is going to need to spend some time with the goalie coach. He goes down like a sack of potatoes.

Franson is like Pigpen: where ever he goes he brings his own mud to skate in.
