Don't you worry about the Sabres game. Instead, I expect a lengthy report on the Sabres prospects in Rochester. ;)
That would require me to keep the beer count to a minimum. My buddies wife works there and she hooks me up. B-)
-
Going to Amerks game and I want to record Sabres game but no DVR and VCR is older than my wife. They don't have the game available on line afterwards do they?
-
...but man he just seems so slow-footed out there sometimes.
Skating is not his forte, making Goalies look silly with ridiculous moves in shootouts is his forte.
-
p.s. Can I get an over/under line on how many more games we must endure before closing the books on the Andrew Peters project?
It's not as if they are waiting for him to develop. They know what they have, fists for hire, just like every other NHL team. Once teams do away with thugs, The Sabres will do likewise.
-
I'm going to try and do the same this year, right out of the box, starting tonight.
They should certainly have the proper motivation.
-
why not? was jay mckee the sole reason for our success??
Nah, nothing tangible that happened with the roster. I just got a bad feeling, especially with every hockey publication touting the Sabres as Cup favorites. I can't remember any team that I root for living up to lofty expectations. You might want to exclude the early 90's Bills but alas they did not win the big one.
-
...and I think we have another great chance at hoisting the cup.
I don't. :(
-
Shoop just reported that "sources" state that gerber will start tonight...
Not good, IMHO. :unsure:
-
I have 2 fitted caps and a pullover jacket that I have no need for. The hats don't fit, and the jacket is something I already own. Anyone in the Rochester area want who wants this stuff, I will unload, for VIRTUALLY NOTHING. Do I have to mention that this is Sabres gear?
-
Maybe the fact that Vanek was sitting will light a fire under his a$$
Let's hope Tomas responds almost like Miro used to when he was demoted to the 4th line....
I'm already nervous about this game 5 hours before faceoff!!!
Alcohol takes the edge off. ;)

Listening to WGR. Paul Hamliton had some notes from the morning skate. Vanek looks like he's on while Novotny is out. The lines seemed to shape up like this:
Dumont-Briere-Hecht
Kotalik-Drury-Grier
Afinogenov-Roy-Vanek
Pyatt-Gaustad-Pominville
Also mention that he thought their was zero chance of Dom playing this series. He is too selfish and wouldn't bite the bullet and lose the series.

I hate to sound like a jerk... And again - i was at work all night so i did not get to watch the game, just listen on the radio... But after every game You guys have complained about the refs - i hate to say it, but you only look at the non-calls that hurt your team, you recieved one more power play than Ottawa, and it still didnt help.
I'll say it, we played like pussies and deserved to lose. You make your own in the NHL. If Buffalo had taken the physical play to Ottawa, no one would be complaining. Everyone complaining about the refs sounds like that little kid who tells the teacher everything that everyone is doing no matter how mundane.
-
Vermette mighta been what caused the confusion - every once in a while i mix up the two, because they have the same sorta look going on
"hockey hair"
-
look at this knee.....
http://www.ottawasun.com/Sports/Senators/2...4/ottsports.jpg
Senators defenceman Chris Phillips looks down at his left knee after practice yesterday at Scotiabank Place. Phillips is hopeful he?ll play tomorrow night when the Sens open their second-round series against Buffalo.
He's got chicken legs. :lol:
-
I'm not jumping on the "Sabres have more depth" bandwagon. The scoring might be more balanced throughout the line up but Ottawa's top guns are spread out evenly throughout the top 2/3 lines.
-
Looking forward to the game, not the OLN broadcast. I haven't watched one in a while, but when I did it sucked. :wacko:
-
I still have visions of subbing out doug bodger for grant ledyard in nhl 94 just because ledyard had 53 speed compared to bodger's 49.
Ahhh...the memories. Here is the lineup I would use:
(I would immediately start the season by trading Andreychuk and Bodger, the two slowest players in the history of EA NHL gaming, I would land Bure because for whatever reason the game would let me)
1st line: Mogilny, Lafontaine, Bure (this line was good for 500-600 points a season)
2nd line: Wood, Hawerchuk, Khmylev (Randy Wood was good for some reason)
3rd line: Errey, Sweeney, Audette (Speedy line, Errey was a midseason trade)
4th line: May, Hannan, Pressley (Two speedsters with a goon, awesome)
1st D pair: Smehlik, Svoboda (both players rated in the 80's :blink: )
2nd D pair: Ledyard, Moller (Moller was my unsung hero)
3rd D pair: Carney, Boucher (they were kids but their speed/offense was a plus)
The left overs from this bunch included Ray, Corkum, Donnelly(Gord),Patterson and maybe a couple of others. These palyers might have been the slowest collection of players in the game. I'm not sure any of them was rated above 50. I shudder thinking about rushing the puck with Gord Donnelly whose speed topped out at 30 something. You might get two strides before an opposing player would demolish you and take the puck in for a breakaway. I think I'm tearing up... :blush:

being at the game, and seeing vanek's pitiful shootout attempt firsthand, what the hell happened? that was almost as bad as when wideman from st. louis came in and fell down. the look on numminen's face when vanek botched that one was priceless.
He was trying to pass it through his legs, kick it with his left skate back to his stick to shoot. Make sense? It would been sweet if it had worked. :(
-
or once a year
or never...
-
Anyone going to the game tonight? I'll be in section 111 about 20 rows up. Right behind the net where Sabres shoot twice.
I'll look for you when then pan the "kiss" cam. ;)
-
Just keep telling yourself over and over: "it's the NHL, they know what they are doing and it must make sense, it's the ...". ;)
I'd rather smash my head witha frying pan over and over. Wait, that's kinda the same thing... :rolleyes:
-
:blink:
-
that makes no sense. then it would be 5 on 5 after all the penalties are over, before there's a whistle. then they pull one player/team off the ice? how friggin confusing is that to stat freaks?
They don't let the players out of the penalty box until their is a whistle. So in effect they don't have to "pull" anyone off the ice.
-
Sucks to be you. :lol: :P :lol:
I didn't say what kind of function. ;)
