  1. And SuperTroopers is on IFC...making commercial breaks that much better.
  2. Housley switched the lines. He wants all the offense together when they need a goal. And boom. Moulson, ROR, Girgs are in shutdown mode.
  3. Eichel shoots, Eichel scores.
  4. Didn't they hire Bylsma? Yeah. So.
  5. Fact 1 when the puck is in the crease. The guy can't score if he's not there. Don't try to get the puck, drive the defender out of the crease and tie up the stick.
  6. Undrafted Alex Iafallo from Eden on the top line for LA. Gotta love that.
  7. No one is accountable. The owner isn't even the same. Who do you want to blame? Do guy want to blame Housley for Ron Rolston? Is Jack Eichel responsible for the lack of success of this team before he was drafted? If the goal of any team is to win a Cup then we are way beyond 10 years of ineptitude... That's a ton of baggage. If today's players have to carry it how do you expect them to skate?
  8. The high horse view that those who think that giving it time are idiots is as equally offensive. It's called a difference of opinion. We all have horses in this race and unless someone is clam baking their horse then no one's horse is high. Using a decade of history to support your point is a bit of a stretch. The team has undergone massive change and continues to undergo change. As such the failures of past teams are not applicable to the future of the current team. They are not the same team, despite some of the players being the same.
  9. They are dead last in the NHL with nearly 50% of the roster being changed out and a new coach and having played 4 games. Four whole games. Everyone has seen the players who were here last year perform and yet everyone wants to say how washed up every player is already. It's a byproduct of it yes. But the Bills are still largely comprised of the first GM. The Sabres were arguably improving until the team revolted on the coach and then the GM when he backed the coach and not the players. It's a setback and nothing more. They have to adjust to the systems and learn to play together. Yes, individually they have to improve as well.
  10. Buffalo is not on this list... so we have that going for us... despite all the despair.
  11. Okposo clearly not feeling well. He was a GTD in San Jose. If he's got some sickness going on that sucks. Being in SoCal and sick? Es no bueno.
  12. Oh.. I thought that was just your nickname on the forum :P I've not been on the ice in quite some time now. I'm kind of sad about it. I keep wondering when I call it quits.
  13. No way to know. If he signs Kane then it's part of his plan. If he trades ROR its part of his plan. I mean, at the moment KO and ROR are hard sells for a trade. We are who we are right now and he can only do so much.
  14. Not really the same thing and even if it were associated it is certainly NOT a common occurrence. You can call a guy chicken, scared, gutless... but if it's a clean hit, it's a clean hit. You shouldn't have to defend yourself from someone who wants to fight you. Now, if they target you and take some clean shots at you then so be it. No idea who or what you are referring to...
  15. Ran into Marty Biron this morning (we played against his son). He's not worried about the team. It's ugly.. but he's not worried. Good enough for me. Also.. damn he's tall and he's a riot to talk to...
  16. I don't need fighting in the game because most fights these days are staged or occur from a clean play. If fights were much more organic and just occurred because two guys are going at it and finally say.. enough.. let's throw down, then I am still good with it. But fighting just to fight is dumb and even more ignorant is the fight in response to a clean, hard check. That said... the NHL players can choose not to fight. Foligno did not have to fight. I know there's some belief of a "code" but if they don't care about their own well being who am I to get in the way?
  17. The Never Ever League is very much for those who have never played. Having coached out of that rink last year and played there as well I have seen plenty of the Never Ever League when its on the ice. I think it's great that they put it together. Here's another... not QUITE as Never Ever.. but I think it still gets a lot of first timers. http://www.paullouisarena.com/content/adult-hockey-league
  18. I was in the middle of posting one and then I went upstairs and ate breakfast.... you completed the job. We are playing the team that modeled their mascot after Auston Matthews tattoo. Jack should be motivated. I've become convinced that Buffalo is going to be visited by Vigo soon. There's a ton of pink slime flowing under the city. The Kings have a rookie on their top line who is from Buffalo. The Sabres have Jordan Nolan returning against the team that dropped him. We have story lines inside the big story line. I'll still be watching even after watching two youth hockey games today. I'm not rescinding my fan card and I refuse to give into the dark side.
  19. I think there are a few other rinks in Rochester that have something similar as well. Of course it's Rochester. I will have to look around to see which ones.
  20. Are you mentally weak? ;)
  21. I couldn't disagree more with your assessment of what he inherited. As for his plan... nothing has changed since he took over the team. It's as he said it was. If you aren't sure of it, go back and find him talking about it. There is an appearance of things being worse than they are.
  22. It's a team built for its fan base.
  23. You have to believe that if Falk was available he'd have been in the lineup. We know Bogo will be whenever he returns. At that point one of Tennyson, Antipin, or Beaulieu will be out. I am sure I would make it Beaulieu first. At some point I also consider bringing up someone from Rochester just to see what happens. Fedun?
