Great stuff. Everyone knows JR has a temper; it's hilarious to watch him lose it over something so stupid. -

GAME DISCUSSION THREAD GDT: Buffalo at Pittsburgh 1-27-14 at 7:30 PM EST

My bet for the Dark Horse: Brian Engblom complimenting either Tyler Myers of Christian Ehrhoff in the intermission report. Keep in mind we have two guys on the inside on NBC: Brian Engblom played for the Sabres in '85 and usually will go out of his way to compliment some part of the Sabres' game. Liam McHugh (the new kid) went to UB and Syracuse and will usually go out of his way to not agree with Milbury if Milbury trashes Buffalo/Sabres. No you're right! But do we care if we take the first or second forward in the draft? Don't we want the choice? -

That's the key. We want the 1st or 2nd pick. Nothing less. That's what it is and that's where it is. Outside the VAB at the Cape. The pic I posted was somebody's digital art. Doubtful if it was even from a video game, although that looks like it'd be a fun video game, like a mega-version of Battle Tanks for 64. -

I hate the Pens, but we still need to lose to distance ourselves from Edmonton- who thankfully won big last night. We're 3 points back, but we have four games in hand. -

You don't get paid high enough to put forth that low of an effort. -

I fixed my phrasing to make my opinion more clear. I would take Heatley if we turned him around. He's a good rental, and I'd be happy to eat part of his remaining salary to make him more attractive to other teams because that would help towards our cap floor. -

That tells me that nothing has been planned to be announced or delayed. They could still pull a fast one and fly a backup goalie out to Pittsburgh in relatively short order, but now I definitely won't hold my breath. -

Although I understand the cap dump and MN's desire to get rid of him, I'd rather not get Heatley or I'd want to get him and flip him into picks, but it's too early to complain about things that haven't happened yet. -

Both Miller and Enroth are healthy. Keep a close eye on Twitter to see if Hackett (or anyone else) is recalled, as that'll be a huge flag that a goaltending move is pending. -

I believe in the power of science and engineering. Tampa vs Florida in Sun Life Stadium And no one would attend.

Four years down the line, you got a hell of a position down the middle with Hodgson, Toffoli, Girgensens. That lets Ennis go back to the wing and lets Grigorenko play wing. -
This slideshow parading as a sports article is a great example of a Buffalo outsider* trying to write like an insider. Goon/tough guy/pest semantics aside, there's no way a diligent journalist describes Rob Ray as the biggest anything without mentioning that he's the #6 all-time penalty minute holder, inspired the Rob Ray Rule, and punched a fan. And if you're going to conjure Barnaby, it's worthwhile to do so in the context of faking of injuries during fights and constant death threats. It's a good post, because it'll spark discussion, but I also realize that it'd be nice for someone to properly compile the completely zany antics and pugilistic achievements committed by these on-ice monsters/heroes. edit: * Upon further investigation, this guy only writes about the Sabres, and has only been doing so since late December. So he's new at it. Additionally, rantsports is the poor man's bleacherreport, so journalists need not apply. Maybe he'll get better with time. Or not. Whatever.

Tank Commander should stay for now. He contributes to the tank and eats up salary cap floor. In the future, maybe after next season, we can reevaluate him. Maybe he'll find it again during that time, and make it worth it to keep him, but probably not. Not with this roster.

Wow, Vanek got jobbed. That's a really bad call.

GAME DISCUSSION THREAD GDT: Buffalo at Columbus 1-25-14 at 7:00 PM EST
IKnowPhysics replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in Archive
This isn't always intuitive, but as one becomes a better skater, they get better at both ends of the ice. I don't believe he was lost in his own end as much as he was a step behind the play a lot of times, and this will greatly be helped by his effort to improve his skating. I also think the aggressiveness required for good two-way play is also boosted by the confidence that comes with his improved skating ability- he now knows he can stay with opponents, allowing himself to break away from conservative positioning at both ends. IE, I don't think it was effort or awareness, I think it was skating ability and a dash of confidence. -

Must lose. Edmonton's still only three points ahead and we now have three games in hand. Calgary's helped us out by winning their last two. The moneyline (+185, -204) is pretty tilted in our favor,so if there's anything to that, we should be just fine.
