doesn't matter. i said he's "capable," not chris mason. relax.
as long as a guy puts wins on the board as a backup, i'm happy.
-
If you define capable as paying a backup 2.2 mil for a 3.17 GAA and a .892 save percentage, then you are correct, we have a capable backup. <_<
9-4-1 looks capable to me.

biron to get the start tonight and possibly thursday. nice to have a capable guy when the #1 needs time to get his act together.

pm or email me at bill"two""three" (that's "23") at lovely ol' gmail.
i paid $90 each. that's all i'm asking.

i mentioned in another thread that i was undecided about going to this game. i got a call at noon from my friend who scoffed up some fourth row tickets on the cheap ($45/ea.!!). got there right when savard scored, but was able to catch everything else up close...including those three lame SO attempts. with each shot, i kept wondering what the hell they were doing. seemed weak at the time, but if they had a plan like everyone is speculating, then i guess that's a different story.
seeing miller's save from about 50' was a moment i'll never forget. everyone in the arena was going bananas. i think i heard RJ from 7-8 stories above me. ;)
paille seemed to be the hardest working sabre on the ice. drury was a close second. it might not show up on the score sheet, but i thought they were both putting some great effort in. afinogenov on the other hand, seemed to whine every single time someone touched him. granted, i think he took a stick to the face at one point, but even before that, he kept looking at the refs each time there was contact with another player. it's hockey, you know...play though it instead of wasting time looking for sympathy. he sure is fast, though...sheesh. briere, too. man those guys can fly.
a fun afternoon, anyhow. a good opportunity to wear my new lafontaine jersey (vintage, white) outside of my apartment. the "let's go buffalo" got going at least twice that i can remember. the bruins fans booed that, but were otherwise pretty relaxed...it was family day, afterall. jesus, i love hockey.

I think it will be a game... I NEVER witnessed a Sabre game in person that was a SABRE blowout! :D
the only game i ever went to in buffalo was a 9-3 pasting of the whale at the aud the night before the bills hosted the broncos in snow-filled rich stadium. what an awesome weekend that was. every other game i've gone to has been on the road (ottawa a few times, montreal twice, boston a bunch of times).
i'm "this close" to making the switch to directv to see the rest of this season's games.

just for kicks, i listened in on the preds broadcast. top notch stuff. lots of good things to say about the road-team.
glad to see the 2 for 8 on the PP.
the call-ins after the show are hilarious with the accents. but the on-air guys answering are doing exactly what they should be...educating folks on gameplay.

"I hav them muted and listening to rick on a major internet delay but have it synched pretty well with the DVR"
that's some hard-core dedication.

my take is: i am willing to bet that if given regular playing time, he would have better statistical numbers than he does now, the "soft goals" would evaporate, and his record would still be well above 0.500, as it is now. he keeps enough pucks out of the net to put up more wins than losses. that's great for me when miller's on the bench.
