The other two were weak. You need your superstar goaltender to make those saves. He's getting shown up by a backup goaltender once again. Unfortunately without Enroth in net Lindy has no excuses with Montreal on the 2nd game of a back to back.

First one was kinda weak as well. This game is on Miller. But Lindy will blame somebody else.

Couple more weak goals in the top corner with Miller on his knees. It has to be Enroth's fault somehow.

So that's 25% of the games BFLO scored 3 or more for Miller. Compared to 4.5% for Enroth over the last 22 games he started. That's comparable? Last year BFLO scored more than 3 goals 20 times, yet only managed to do it once in Enroth's last 20 starts. Yet for some reason it's all his fault.

Here's a neat little stat. In Enroth's last 22 starts, the Sabres have scored more than 3 goals a grand total of ONE TIME. They scored three goals only seven times. So in 68% of Enroth's starts the team scores two goals or less. But it's all Enroth's fault.

Exactly. Yes

Thanks everybody for the input! I'm going to look around and see if there is anybody locally who stocks Mission and Bauer and try them out. Maybe Incredible Ice has roller hockey equipment.

I did notice that. The few times they showed him he was just looking up ad down the bench giving everybody the evil eye. I'll agree, Enroth didn't play well. He could have won a game tonight. But a couple of huge mistakes by the team in the first period could have easily prevented a couple of goals. It really is disapponting to see the way the fans and media trample all over this guy, he hasn't had much to work with the last two years at all. He's been thrown into the worst situations and then had the bus driven over him each time he loses. What's even worse is the way Lindy holds him to a higher standard than Miller. Calling out Enroth in his press conference was completely uncalled for. He needs to get his team under control before he can openly criticize a guy who sits the bench for weeks at a time.

It's finally become unanimous?

Hmmm, how many others can they send down?

All I have to base it on is Inline skate review searches. http://k2skates.com/inline-skates

Did Stafford play today? I saw him play a shift on the Ennis goal.

Miller didn't play when they went through their worst stretch in history. Miller doesn't sit for weeks at a time. Miller has started more than 5 games in the last 12 months. Miller is a superstar. Trash Enroth fine, but hold Miller to the same standards. I didn't hear WGR address one single breakdown in the first period, it was all Enroth's fault.

It goes both ways. Eveybody can use it against him, why can't it be used for him? ;)

I use to have respect for Koziol and Hamilton, but I've never seen these two jump on somebody the way they have tonight. Especially a backup that's started what 5 games in the last 12 months? Maybe on here he does, but not WGR. And Miller hasn't made 5 starts in the last 12 months.

It's got nothing to do with wanting Miller gone. It's the fact that they're completely trashing him, moreso than they've trashed Myers all year. It's about the double standard, had that been Miller he wouldn't even be mentioned. Look at the games Enroth had to start last year, arguably the worst stretch of games the team has played in it's history. His stats prove his W-L record was not indicative of how well he performed. Thank you.

Doing a search earlier I also came across K2 and Mission. Most of these are new to me so I'm not too familiar with them. Although what you guys have said makes sense, a brand that's been making ice skates for decades would probably be better.

Listening to WGR.............. I rest my case. Had that been Miller it would have been 'Oh the defense let him down on the first goal' or 'He played good enough for them to win' or 'He's played back to back games so he's a little tired'. If Miller hadn't played in over a week that would definetely be an excuse. Enroth wasn't great but the double standard make me sick. Don't know why Enroth is the whipping boy here, the team was downright awful in the first period when the game was decided.

I see they've got seven different models. Is their base model really cheap? I know you get what you pay for, just wondering if the lower models of a brand name is better than middle of the road of a lesser brand. Anybody else?

No, he hasn't been that bad. Two of those three goals weren't his fault. He's the easy whipping boy when the rest of the team sucks. If Miller were in net Paul would have been lambasting the rest of the team for another lost faceoff that lead to a goal or another turnover that led to a goal. Everybody is happy because when they lose tonight they have somebody to blame it on.

I'm looking for recommendations for a new pair. Haven't played roller hockey for years, and decided to go down to our local rink and get back into it. The set I had broke within minutes so I'm looking for a new set. I don't want anything high $$ until I know I'll stick with it. What brands should I look at for a hockey/recreational skate?

That's what I was thinking. But Leino hasn't necessarily held up his end of the bargain, for instance agreeing to sign as a center and chagning his mind two weeks into the season. If the team opted against surgery I want to know what happened between now and the end of last year. If the team decided against surgery, surely them and Leino came up with some sort of workout and rehab regimen for the offseason so certainly one weeks worht of training camp would have fueled his inury if he was keeping with his routine. Unless he did legitimately get injured by a hit, freak fall, turned it the wrong way, whatever........ during training camp. If that's the case fine. Case closed. But this situation wreaks of laziness and lies.

Did Leino get hurt during "training camp" ? Or is this an injury he completely blew off in hopes of using it as an excuse to skip the year?

Ennis thinks he should have been responsible for checking Parros? Are you kidding me? The problem is the coach making people think the smallest player in the league is at fault for not checking 6'5" 240# Parros.

I'm so sick of hearing how tired they are. Guess what, 29 other teams are in the same boat!!! Just once I'd love to hear one of the Sabres say 'I'm out of excuses, is there anything else you want to ask me?'.
