  1. I DVR every game. That penalty call on Gaustad where they scored the game winner was bull crap. He didn't even touch the Canuck player. He tried to make a move around Gaustand and fell by himself. The fans in that section weren't even visibly upset or looking for a penalty.

     

    Oh well, like PTR said, you can't win them although we could have easily won this game if the PP was better early on. Calgary will be tough on Saturday.

  2. I wish I knew why we are all in the minority when it comes to our interest in hockey. I love sitting here flipping between all of these hockey games, especially when games are in places like Calgary, Edmonton, Minny, Detroit, etc. and of course, Buffalo.

     

    I just don't get why this sport is below golf, wrestling, and women's softball on the fan interest level. As I say that though, I do think a big part of it is the NHL does a horrible job marketing. They need to somehow get a stick in a kids hand everywhere in the U.S., just the way every kid throws a football, shoots a basket, or plays stickball...

    Because the people that run Network TV in America are by far the biggest morons in life.

     

    If the NHL wanted to get excitement out over TV, they would show a game like Toronto at Buffalo or Vancouver at Colorado on NBC, and not St. Louis vs. Pittsburgh or Atlanta vs. Phoenix.

  3. I'm getting a good laugh out of this thread. Delayed reaction to PTS -- you sit in bed? Come on, lie back. Relax. Unless you are afraid that at your advanced age, you're going to konk out with the rest of us old farts.

    Yep, if I lie back it's game over for most of the game. I have a knack of waking up with about 10 minutes to go.

     

    St. Francis > St. Joe's :P

     

    Go Sabres!

  4. Did Smith not get tossed? He should have gotten an instigator. The third man in rule is bull #%^$#!. You're just supposed to let some punk jump your guy while he's not looking? Makes no sense.

     

    This PP looks bad. Get Kotalik off it for a game or two and let him recharge.

  5. Just got back from the game and have a few thoughts...

     

    1. Get this team out of Buffalo. This Sabres team like many in the past can't do well at home against crap teams. Buffalo should have easily won tonight and didn't.

     

    2. It is becoming more and more apparant that the well is drying up in Rochester. Poms was the last solid player. Novotny and Paille are just not ready.

     

    3. It is even more clear that this team is missing Briere. He always had that timely goal. We need him back tonight. I also saw JP tonight and he looked like a guy that's ready to come back soon.

     

    4. I'm backing away from my stance on not going after a scorer. Remember the playoff series against Montreal in the early 90s after the sweep of Boston. Patty and Alex went down and the team lost four straight 4-3 games to eventual cup champs Montreal. What happens if we run into injury problems during the playoffs. I think we need to get one more gun.

     

    5. I said it about 8 games ago. Kotalik is falling apart, I wonder how much of it is because of him getting the olympic snubbed.

  6. Tonight is a no TV game, not even on NHL Centre Ice. I just scored myself some tickets at work today which was a HUGE surprise on this beautiful spring -- I mean winter -- day in Buffalo.

     

    Coyotes got steamrolled in Ottawa two nights ago. They'll be bitter. Sabres need to win tonight and Saturday to go over 500 on the homestand. It's gonna be though especially with all the injuries.
