Be a better hockey player.....dude is an AHLer....

I’ve watch a lot of games live. I feel you have a better grasp of a players worth when you can watch everything they do during a game. I was very critical of both Nylander and McCabe when I was using my old moniker, iTinSn.... Nylander was criticized for his size and resulting timid nature....I criticized McCabe for his seemingly pouting attitude, head hanging coasting to the bench for the change...I didn’t think he was ready for the big time but he stuck. He isn’t the player that many posters hoped he’d be but he’s doing ok. My point is that although Nylander isn’t the player we wanted, he’s the player we have. He’s a lot better than a few years ago. He may be a decent NHL player at some point. He still has a timid nature at times but sometimes he’s an aggressive little bastard. Maybe that whole O’Reilly thing, the punking him and making him clean the bus, really did mess with him? Maybe he just needs a few more pounds on his frame? He scored a beauty yesterday but had a terrible shift just a few minutes into the game where he lost the puck in the Crunch’s zone, battled and got it back only to get thrown onto his ass, ultimately losing the puck. I’m not writing him off completely. I’ve just altered my expectations for him. He’s still the last guy off the ice after warm ups. He looks like he’s been working his ass off and that can only be a good thing.

This afternoon was the worst display of officiating that I’ve ever seen. There were 17 penalties called in this game. Davis called so much BS in the first that by the time the third was in full swing the Crunch were interfering all over ice with little worry that they’d be called. Who the ***** calls unsportsmanlike on the bench? Put your feelings aside dude. Call the game right. That’s your GD job. I’m usually pretty quite and reserved at games but I lost my ***** when the Crunch were routinely mugging and punching on the Amerk that was down on the ice. Covering the puck at blue line. Wedgewood’s glove was slashed right off his hand and they never blew the whistle! Remember when the goalie got a delay of game for knocking the net off? Oullette did it while looking right at Davis... Let’s not forget the Crunch that layed on top of Wedgewood after the play.... Mayer and Davis have both been at the BCA this year and it was a similar ***** show when they were here. Worst 2 officials in the league. They can’t even skate that well. Bums.

Davis is a little bitch too. Calls an unsportsmanlike on our bench for a second 5. on 3 in a row but let’s the Crunch player lay on top on our goalie for ten seconds after the play....

Conacher is such a little bitch. Mayer and Davis(especially Davis) are calling it like they are on the Crunch roster.

...and they wondered why I would try LSD....

I’m feeling your vibe but I prefer this version...Also schoolhouse rock....

I haven’t been up North since my mother passed... planning on a weeekend in summer to visit remaining family....and stock up on Glazier’s....

How do know Glazier’s? I remember the foot longs with Michigan sauce....

Geddy Lee...that’s it!

Well I’ve made up my mind....these boys are insanely talented. I get the Led Zeppelin connection but there’s so much more. I hear twinges of Ann Wilson, Perry Ferrell and Shannon Hoon in that voice...someone else too..can’t place it...These kids come anywhere close and I’m there...

I’ll bring enough of these for everyone....

How about a cookout instead? Beers and intros...

He’ll make the roster next year. The North is tight this close to the end and keeping him in Rochester is best for the team, which leads to success, which begets experience, which....you’re a smart guy. You see where I’m going...

Let him play some NA playoff hockey for the love of God already. The Amerks can’t help the Sabres if the Sabres won’t let them.

I caught the intermission report and the first half of the 2nd period on the radio while driving home from apprentice class. Sounds like Olofsson had a short handed break away in the first. He has a knack for getting that breakout pass. He reminds me Ovie in a few ways. The breakout. The one timer. I think he’ll be a Sabre next year.

Janik made mention of how he can’t believe Patches is still playing when he was inducted into the Amerks HOF....I’m sure Uncle Terry wilL find something for him...

They look like they found them in a dumpster.

***** yes!

No one wants to get too close to Voracek because he’s ugly and smells like piss.

Son of a mother ***** bitch!

I want revenge.

Looks like he hit Dahlin right in the head...

JFC Larry.....

The Matthews/Eichel debate will end someday.....Jack will be chasing Cups with the Sabres and Auston will be chasing contracts.....just sayin.....
