So I'm playing the Bucs D who have given up 50+ points but a cheap late td and someone they are now at 11 points. That's how this year has gone so far.....

Our forward lines look like potentially: Moulson - Ennis - Gionta Hodgson - Girgensons - Stafford Foligno - Reinhart - Stewart Deslaurier - McCormic - Kaleta I see very few goal scorers and a weak left side. Even on D we have Georges - Myers Meszaros - Risto Weber/Benoit - Pysyk Considering we had the Hoff last year the D doesn't look much better either. As you said, our goaltending is a considerable downgrade from where we were last year. Could be a long season.....

I don't know our forwards will even be that much better.

Very nice how I pick up Douglas in case Roddy is out and then don't put him in last minute. Already a td...... I started cheering for the Bucs back around their superbowl years because I needed a second team to cheer for based on the way the Bills played so they became my 1B team I could cheer for out in the NFC. Well between the Sabres, Bills and Bucs (sure throw in Jays too) my sports cheering existence has been a nightmare. Seriously, I was born in 85 and started watching the Sabres close in 90 and the Bills in (get this) 99 and Bucs in 02. I've had literally three nice Sabres seasons to cheer for and that's about it :wallbash: :doh: :doh: That may be why I'm all in for the Sabres tank this year.

@ubkev - I forgot how funny tosh.0 is. I had that episode and another on the pvr and sat down and watched it with the wife. We were both in tears by the end.

One more year of the tank left boys and girls.... For those unsure if this year will be any more entertaining than last - atleast this year we can also follow NY Isles and Blues and hope for losses.

I love Pysyk. One of those guys that always seems to make the right pass and is great at breaking the puck out of our own end. He also makes good decisions in the offensive end in regards to passing and pinching. I don't think he'll ever score many goals or throw big hits but he is a quietly good player. You never hear about him which is great for D-men. Based on our great depth with young D I think he will eventually slot in as an excellent number 4 or 5 guy as someone has mentioned above.

@dudacek - Based on all of the reports I've read and what I've heard on the radio from guys like Paul Hamilton I think your analysis is spot on.

Ya I assume I may get 1 or two but I still likely won't get many.

Well I've got my 4 waiver wire claims in for this week. After two straight tire fires it's time to blow this thing up!

@PA - Oh there are times when players just aren't playing hard enough or playing lazy. See Exhibit A - Ovechkin, Alexander

Get your Kleenex's ready. Even with the week the Bills have had, things this good just don't happen to Buffalo sports.

Do I cut Romo loose before he sabotages my entire season?

I think the writing is on the wall that they are sending Zadorov back this year (baring an amazing camp) based on their offseason signings. I just pray he treats it as an opportunity to work on some of his deficiencies and doesn't pout. I think he will be a monster for us in the future but it won't be this season.

A future Sabre that can't finish? Sounds like he'll fit right in :flirt: That's not the news I want to hear about Zads (especially when that's what it seemed like to me during the prospect camp)

It's obviously just three glorified scrimmages but I must say I'm very surprised by the scores.

That's good to hear. Can't lose him for any extended period of time.

I thought I saw Marcel leaving the game in the fourth quarter with his leg wrapped yet I haven't heard any news on him. He's a huge (figuratively and literally) part of our D. What's going on there?

Nice to see I put up a fight for you ink :wallbash: :wallbash:

I like maclin.

I didn't listen but they lost 6 1. Not sure they played decent. Didn't someone say they were outshot by 15 as well? I'm not going to over react to a glorified scrimmage but some must have not played decent.

HHAHAHAHA well put ink. As much as I hate listening to some of it, I also have to check in for the injury report so I can beat you in the SS League.

If I tell them one then I know it'll be closer to 130. Plus it'll give us some time to watch the pregame and have a few brewski's. I picked up some Rickards White yesterday. I think I may give that a go.

I would think Murray would sell at the deadline for sure if that were to happen. He mentioned it in interviews about last year and then followed through so I don't have any reason to think he wouldn't.

Was thinking of Stub Hubing some tickets for the game Sunday but some other obligations came up for Sunday morning. I told them I would help as long as he has a bunch of cold beers, couple of large pizzas and the Bills game on starting at noon.
