That is the 2nd goal Tyler Ennis has cost us. This time it likely cost us a point. I am ready to start cursing him for getting in offsides.
The coaches challenge sucks. Tyler Ennis is still the goat tonight. I hope the locker room starts a fine for this.
*pissed at Ennis*
In black and white it's easy to say that Ennis cost us those two goals but he was also influential in both goals scored. So if Ennis wasn't on the ice, are the goals even scored ? I'm not happy with what we are seeing from Ennis, although throughout his NHL career he has been a slow starter and has come on as the season progressed. IMO getting rid of your second leading scoring forward is not the answer to improving the team, no matter how frustrating it has been watching him at times.
I don't like the line with Ennis and Echiel, I think having 2 players that both like to control the puck the way they do on the same line is sort of counterproductive, it almost seems like they cancel each other out. I also haven't seen any real chemistry between them. Maybe DB is seeing something else, because he seems insistent on pairing them up. If they're going to stay together, I'd like to see Gus on the line, not Larsson or McGinn.

Gionta one of the better Sabres tonight
Nothing dirty about that hit.
Tyler OK
Moulson is skating hard, he's not getting any scoring chances but his hustle looks better than in any game this season IMO.

A little bit of Ron Perlman I think. But less gorilla like/much kinder looking.
Funny, my wife says I look like a Silverback in this picture.

I'm not a fan of having pictures taken of myself, but I'll share one.

If Ottawa would have gone back up the ice (if Kane didn't score) and scored a goal, would the Sabres have been able to challenge their own offsides and have the Ottawa goal disallowed ? What I'm wondering is if there's no whistle for a couple of minutes and a few possession changes, how far can the challenge go back ?

Welcome back bmwolf!
Here's a little trivia question; scroll down for the answer. How many QBs drafted in the top 10 since 1990 have won a Super Bowl?
The number is telling: It is VERY HARD to find a quarterback in the draft. Many, many more busts than hits.
Three. Two of them are Mannings. The other one is Dilfer.
That's a pretty interesting trivia question, thanks.
There is one more that has a Super Bowl ring, but did not play in the Super Bowl.
Drew Bledsoe.

well 8 is more accurate...but I didn't want to upset anyone
sports are learned very early on. ball skills being the main thing. you can learn to be a great LB or DE or OL. But some things have to be learned at a very young age.
Show me a pro tennis player who didn't start playing when they were practically toddlers
That's got nothing to do with being able to improve or change the way you learned to do something. You can always change, the way you threw a football at 10 years old is not going to be the same way you throw a football at 23 years old. You said you can't learn how to be an accurate passer after the age of 10 and I say that is ridiculous to think that is true.
-
you cant learn to be an accurate passer after the age of 10. by then its ingrained. yes he can learn to be less inaccurate--and if the playcalling is extremely limited then he can be a decent back-up in this league because of his size/running ability.
This is nonsense, it's like saying that you can never hit a baseball better, never shoot a basketball better, never improve your golf swing, etc, It's about the mechanics of how you do these things, which can all be improved. There is muscle memory which could be difficult to change after a person has done something the same for a long time, but it's not something that can't be changed or reconditioned.

Love me a good wrap around. Tyler Ennis is making it happen for Team Canada.
Tyler Ennis !

Mayweather shredded him.
Wow, I must of had a different feed.

Whoops! :) I was thinking if he signs O'Connor (although rumor has it Buffalo is out on that now).
Supposedly O'Conner met with a few teams yesterday and it was said Buffalo was out for O'Conner. Also on WGR they talked about O'Conner and Rodigues not getting along with each other. Could the Rodigues signing taken the Sabres out of the running for O'Conner ?

Draft year. Makes sense.
Not unlike how Ric Seiling chose #16 because he was selected 16th overall (and, yes, the player picked 17th that year became an all-time (ALL time) great).
I looked up the 77 draft and it shows Seiling was drafted 14th overall and Bossy 15th. I was 5 years old so I don't really know which it was. Not trying to be a #**#, just curious if there was something different in the draft positions.

I'm going to guess Eichel takes #15 as it's a number he has worn in the past and because of the draft year.
-
There's nothing fair about any draft, you want fair then make every draft eligible kid a free agent. That's fair.
From a fans point, that's fair if you have a owner with deep pockets that doesn't mind spending, but not very fair to the fans of teams that don't want to or don't have the resources to get into bidding wars for top talent.
I'm not crazy about the lottery system as it is/was now, but I prefer it to just automatically rewarding the bottom team with the 1st pick. Hopefully the brain-trust of the NHL :blink: will find a better option.
-
They're just gonna announce the winner, the same way as last year with the envelopes. However they will make the ball drawing available for public viewing afterwards on NHL.com.
After the CGI programmers get done with it.

Gree--hee-hee-eeasy.
I thought Ennis's goal was better than Tarasenko's and Nyquist's.
I also thought OV's was the best of all of them.
Ovechkin made his goal look almost effortless compared to some of the others, which could be why it was only the 6th top goal, but it shouldn't be looked at as less of a top goal because Oviechkin pulled off that move so smoothly. I also thought it could/should of been #1.

There. Now you can play spoiler to your hearts content against the Penguins.
They would have given up and lost this game 6-2 in January. Where was this desire all season?
They're a slow starting team, but after 65-70 games they caught fire.
-
Holy fack that was some pretty passing by the Jackets
They use the top of the slot a lot, sometimes too much. It seems to work for them though.
-
From the way the crowd reacted after that goal, it sounds like there's a lot of Sabres fans there. ;)

Do you happen to know who was on the ice? I remember the play, but not exactly who was there. It wasn't Girgensons or Ristolainen, because they are out. I'm pretty sure that it wasn't Moulson or Ennis. It may have been Bogosian, but I'm not sure. My point: will any of those players be in a Sabres' uniform next year? In two or three years, when we could be a real contender?
Also, when was the last time that you actually saw something build in April that carried over to October?
I can appreciate them playing as a team, but with the exception of Moulson, will anyone who has scored in the last two games part of the long-term plans?
I'm almost certain it was Kaleta, Deslauriers, Ellis, Strachan and ? I'm guessing Meszaros. As far as which of those players will be part of the long term plans, I would think that Deslauriers would be the only possibility. Then again we could see Kaleta, Meszaros and Strachan all here in 2 years.

Gonna say that again for the next five years while this team continues to be basement dwellers?
There's no way I believe that one player is the difference between being basement dwellers and Stanley Cup Champions. I'd love for the Sabres to have a McEichel (I'm not for tanking) but if if they don't land one of the top two, there's is still a lot of young talent in the system plus at least a top 3 this year, to make this a good team in the near future.
Maybe it's some strange belief, karma or whatever, but I have a feeling they have a better chance at winning the lottery (McDavid) by not finishing 30th. I'm not saying I want them to finish 29th, but I'm not gonna pout and damn the team if they do.

there is a thread on SW about who is the best RB in BILLS history. a few people actually said TT was better than OJ.Confirms why I don't post there anymore.better for the blood pressure.
Not defending the idea that Thomas was better, but I'd guess the majority that voted that way probably never saw OJ play, heck some probably never seen Thomas play.

OK, duh, Lorentz was Rick's color man in the early 80s — at least the 82-83 season. I should have known that because I recall Rick getting sick one night and Lorentz took over the play by play for the rest of the night and at least one more game after that. And he was good.
This is confirmed by my 82-83 media guide. Lorentz was with Rick on radio all year. Don Dussias was the host.
Thirty games (27 on the road) were on Channel 2 with Ted and color man Pat Hannigan and Ed Kilgore as host. The Wikipedia page is wrong, go figure. Thirty additional home games were on cable TV. Ted, Gerry Meehan and Ralph Hubbell.
I just had this conversation a week or two ago with my brother and he was pretty sure the first games broadcast locally were on Ch 7 with Ted Darling and Rick Azar, I was 8 years old so I really can't remember. The earliest I can remember when ch 29 started showing games locally.

Looks like Schopp and BD were totally wrong by thinking the Sabre fans wouldn't cheer Arizona goals. Idiots.
The "idiots" are the Sabres fans that find it necessary to cheer an opposing teams goals. We all get it that it's beneficial for the Sabres to finish last, but why not just be quiet instead of disrespecting every player out there in the Blue & Gold.

Obviously Gil Brandt hasn't gotten word from all the Bills message board GM's and coaches that insist Gilmore sucks.
