Retired Coast Guard and retired hockey referee. Play this game 2-3x weekly, and watch every Sabres game available on DirecTV. My wife and I have THREE pugs. I'm also a professional uncle no kids (PUNK). Nephew Ryan Kuhn plays on Buffalo Jr. Sabres and has D1 committment to Niagara in '15.
Is it legal to trade Owen Power for a broken 1982 Zamboni? He gets outworked and over powered constantly. He cost the game standing next to Hayes for the GWG. How many times must we watch his defensive ineptitude???
While I wish he provided more offense, Mal is a valuable member of the team. Penalty kill, eating up 4th line minutes, and SMASHING everything he sees wears out an opponent. His game is just fine with me.
Power is a giant cream puff. Has he ever actually hit anyone? I can't count how many times I've seen him not smoke someone when he had the chance. He will never get any room on the ice if he doesn't use his very large frame as it was intended. He's a big weakling who hits nobody and stands next to opponents when they score. Not a mean bone in his giant body. He consistently gets outworked in corners and has more giveaways that Publishers Clearing House. He's gotta go.
While I'm sure we'll all miss his personality, we'll do well without the passes to nobody, the overextended shifts, and the awful d-zone play of Skinner. Lindy would have benched him in the first game. He drove me nuts.
