Kind of like the nipple blur on television ? :blush:

Did Ladd pull that puck back out and then pass to Wheeler for the empty netter ? I realize its a moot point. Just wondering. Sure looked close.

nice

U.S. woman beat Canada 3-2 for the world championship. Congrats !

Looks old

Vanek looks old .

For a little intermission hockey the U.S. womans team is tied with the Canadians 2-2 in the 2nd on T.S.N.

I agree. That was exciting. Play with emotion and work hard is all I ask.

I'm sure a certain portion of the fans are booing management for the product thats been put on the ice which would make you wrong. :P

You're probably right but we'll see. Fool me once...

You would think that ol Stevie could figure it out. Love his game but these guys continue to insert foot in mouth. IMO the fans are booing management for the product they've been putting on the ice. Suck it up boys.

3 game win streak. What are the odds they go 4 ? I'm kind of waiting for them to regress back to the team that doesn't show effort and goes through the motions but maybe I'm jaded from how they've behaved in the past. Anyhoo...I can't say I don't like their game lately because I do and I feel pride in the results its just I WANT A TOP 3 PICK DAMMIT ! As always, GO SABRES !

I laughed beer through my nose. Thanks a lot. :sick:

John Ferguson drafted many of those leafs. He gets no credit.

They don't boo so much at canucks games now but back in the 80's it was common. I haven't been to a canucks game in about 10 years but from what I hear the concessions are nuts with 9 dollar beers and such. Thats enough to make anyone boo. That and watching the canucks bow out of the playoffs early every year. :P

True. I'm not condoning the Booing nor supporting it. Imo its just something I've seen in other markets( on television for the most part ). So it does exist outside of Buffalo in some markets. Its not just as Peppy says idiots that don't know any better. These are people that have paid for a product and feel the franchise hasn't delivered.

If you go to any other hockey market where the fans are knowledgable and passionate about their team ( much like Buffalo ), you will see the paying public ( i.e. the people who shell out the hard earned money ) boo their team when there is a long period of ineptitude or disfunction. Spending 4 minutes in your own zone is not normal in a league that likes to believe it has parity amongst the franchises. There are going to be growing pains over the next couple of seasons for the players and for the fans. Get used to it.

Nice

Beautiful heads up passing play nice goal OTTER !

Big John Scott. Nice hit.

Nice save

I gave him an A on the trades. He got good value especially the Pommer trade where many league wide are saying he got a kings ransom. Considered into my grade was the fact that he made moves at all so I factored that into my opinion. Sat on his hands all year while we floundered. Much like last year. Coulda,shoulda,woulda...

All I can say in reply to this is Vanek has been a warrior for this franchise and sure he's missed games but he takes a boatload of abuse. I still believe you have to get maximum return and trade him for picks and or prospects when the time is right. He'll sign elsewhere otherwise. No extension for Thomas please.

Imo these late season runs are actually just 1 more character flaw in a Darcy Regier team. Play like this all season dammit !

Dammit. These guys can't even get losing right. This run will continue if Jersey plays like they have been and the Sabres continue to play sound defensive hockey. I've grown to like the thought of a top 3 pick developing in the Sabres system but I think its a pipe dream now as I get the feeling these guys are finally showing some pride and seem to want to prove everyone including management wrong. As always, GO SABRES !
