    I'm utterly disappointed but at least we got a point. Every point counts in the long run after all.
  2. thewookie1
    Did anyone take it?

    LBI, that really sucks. At least the Sabres won so you guys could still enjoy that. Get better.

    GFJ Sabres! Not only was it fun to watch but Eichel put on a show. There was a play in the third where he found a loose puck and fought off Stamkos to get a shot on. This kid is special! Risto +1 Goal Eichel +1 Goal Franson +1 Goal Foligno +1Goal = WIN!

    Gorges-Risto McCabe-Franson Pysyk-Bogo for the first few games then I'd swap Franson and Bogo. Additionally if McCabe continues his trend I'd start having Gorges and him start sharing time with Risto. For instance using McCabe in the offensive zone more often.

    I refuse to trade my #1 this year, mainly because of the Draft being in Buffalo

    How long did it take us last year to get to 6 wins? 4 Regulation wins?

    Miss the guy, after he retires. I hope he visits Buffalo from time to time. In my opinion Ennis's woes are due to him finding his identity on this team. The last two years he was looked on to pretty much carry the offense and had little assistance in doing so. So he'd possess the puck out of necessity since unless Girgs or Moulson were open he had few options he could count on. Suddenly he can pass it to almost anyone, thus he feels required to pass more. He just needs to find that niche between over possessing the puck and trying to force the play too much. Gionta had 17min on the ice, looked far better because of it, he's older so he can't play the bigger minutes anymore but give him 15 or so a game and I think he'll wake up like how he did last year.

    Weber wasn't bad today, likely a combination of it being the Vet's Day game and playing 13:33 but I'll take it. Eichel 2As Risto 2Gs Rough game, but they pushed through and got the win. That's something we need to see going forward :)
  10. thewookie1
    Ennis fits he's just starting off slow, give it a couple months. Larsson is a conundrum since he's ineffective as a 3rd / 4th liner and not quite skilled enough for the top 2 lines. Gionta needs to have 3rd/4th line minutes, he seems to need time before he starts playing any better
  11. thewookie1
    Yeichel, Jack Eichel!
  12. thewookie1
    Why is Larsson and Gionta out there over Girgs and likely a better forward Delauriers. Someone needs to tell Bylsma to try Moulson with Eichel.

    I agree with pretty much everything you just said, however I'd get jolly when an opposing team's injury helps us just like I'm sad when ours hurt us. Just because its part of the game doesn't mean there is a gag order on any emotion.
  14. thewookie1
    This is what makes a player a champion, the willingness to do nearly anything to win it all. They play through injuries for that very reason. Wishing harm to your opponent is different than enjoying the following problems it causes the team. Carolina doesn't win the Cup if we still had our starters in at D. And you don't hear them complaining or regretting not beating Buffalo at full strength.And don't tell me that Boychuck's hit on Vanek in the 2010? Playoffs was anything but purposeful injuring. I hate the targeting of players, unless they have legit reason to be, but if it was not intentional I'm not going to cry about the other team being worse. You seem to make purposeful injury creation equivalent to merely taking advantage of another's bad luck.
  15. thewookie1
    I would... but only in the playoffs and with the injuries being rather small and with no long term consequences.
  16. thewookie1
    I want McDavid to suceed but not Edmonton, so I hope the injury doesn't hurt him in the long term but I'm happy it will hurt the Oilers. And I'll be honest, if it takes every non-Sabre super star being injured for us to get a Cup then so be it.... I just want a Cup and couldn't care less how we achieve it. After we have 1 I'd join the camp of beating the best to prove your the best as being the ideal scenario. However at this point I just want a Cup. Same thing goes with the Bills.
  17. thewookie1
    Luke better not be the bad guy, that'd be quite the disappointment.
  18. thewookie1
    Shave the goalie pads and actually call hooking. I certainly wouldn't make nets bigger however.
  19. thewookie1
    Thank you very much, both awesome and sad simultaneously.
  20. thewookie1
    1. We have 8 pts, when did we reach that mark last year? 2. 2 Regulation wins? 3. A guy with 13 pts? 4. Outshoot our opponent 9 times? I'm just curious for comparison's sake.
  21. thewookie1
    I guess seeing as we finally have a couple F'n Cs the name can change
  22. thewookie1
    Supposedly the LAK are looking for another defenseman, I wonder if Weber would strike their fancy. After all he fits their persona and style. I doubt we'd get all that much for him but I can't find a way for him to effectively fit on the roster once Bogo returns and at least Cola can move faster than a glacier. Think we could wring their 3rd rounder for Weber, a 5th and a 7th? Maybe a 4th only?
  23. thewookie1
    Nikita Nikitin- I believe he's one of the worst in the league at everything else however.
  24. thewookie1
    Now Briere should have to move to Buffalo :) Eichel had probably his worst game of the year thus far, although even so he had a couple chances at least. Girgs finally and in fitting fashion. Without Weber the D actually doesn't look hideous all game, they just need to work on their consistency. Johnson lets in the weak goal yet makes a couple highlight reel saves later, with a W, who cares :)
  25. thewookie1
    I agree as well, those two could bring life to a golf game. Their banter was great, and their analysis was usually spot on. I guess we were a tad spoiled in announcers back then.
