Buffalo Wings Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 that should be a goal. I agree. I think Lawson just tried to kick the puck to his stick, but did a bad job of kicking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabregoats Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Gerbe gets his fourth point on the night with an incredible pass from behind the net, and between his legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamBam Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 It sure would be nice to see Gerbe in the organization next year. I don't care what level it is. Would love to see how he would do in some preseason games. What a game this kid had tonight. Talk about Clutch! We sure could use a spark like this.

carpandean Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Saw him blocking point shots with under 10 seconds left in a game when they were ahead 4-1, instead of just taking it easy. That tells me something about this kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROC Sabres Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 now that the game is over, you think buffalo might be on the phone trying to give some people a call to sign him. If you ask me, they better be calling from home while eating their milk and cookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Enabler Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 i didnt hear any chatter about the Sabres and Gerbe at all (in the same context)either games.....anyone else? <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they were sucking him off as much as they normally do Crosby or Ovechkin on VS. Which is a good thing if we dont F it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X. Benedict Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 You have to like Gerbe's nose for the puck. He made a nice play on every BC goal. Gotta get him signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmwolf21 Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Thanks, I agree he is really good. I don't understand why he would stay at ESPN when they hardly ever show hockey. Does he do any teams regional broadcasts or is ESPN his only gig? I guess the better question would be: why does ESPN keep a hockey play by play guy around for the half dozen games they show a year?I think he does a lot of baseball. He is really good though. He was clearly the best hockey PbP man ESPN had, and he would be a huge addition to either NBC or Vs' coverage if they could pry him away. ESPN also has him do a handful of college football games, and I think he also works baseball and the Little League World Series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't sign he goes back to BC to play his senior year and then i think he is unrestricted next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matter2003 Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 2 goals and 2 assists in a 4-1 win...Gerbe is gonna be a star...the kid plays big in big time games... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 My Gerbe hate has become mostly an act at this point, but my god has his run dating back to the start of the Hockey East tourney been amazing. Shorties, breakaways, absolute garbage goals... it doesn't matter, he keeps getting everything. But anyway, having just gotten back from Denver, it still seems like he'll stay. I was around mostly BC fans all weekend and not makes it sound like he'll leave. Some are the random know-nothing fans, but others know far more than most. We'll see what happens, but if I had to put money on it, I'd say he stays for a Hobey run next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really expect a guy to say much different right after winning the national championship though? The Hobey run thing was my comment, not anyone else's. If he does have the desire to stay, there will be many more reasons than just that. Quite honestly, I think he would be better served to have one more year under Jerry York, clearly the best coach in the college game. Character is one of the criteria for the Hobey, but that isn't what held Gerbe back. Porter was the favorite going in and the award was given to the right player. He had a more consistent season than Gerbe and was a clear leader on that team. Gerbe was a stat machine while he was on, but he was not the leader of that team.

That Aud Smell Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Do you really expect a guy to say much different right after winning the national championship though? Well, maybe -- he easily could've given a nod to the award being an honour to whomever receives it, but followed up by saying basically what he did say, that he's not about individual awards, he's about championships -- I dunno, there was something in his non-verbals that had me hearing "Man, Fugg the Hobey Baker" from him. If he does have the desire to stay, there will be many more reasons than just that. Is the high class tail that can be found only at a Jesuit university in the top 10? ;) Quite honestly, I think he would be better served to have one more year under Jerry York, clearly the best coach in the college game. I won't dispute that York's a terrific coach -- but I think Gerbe's done everything that he can do at the college level -- I'm anxious to see what he can do at the AHL (NHL?) level. Character is one of the criteria for the Hobey, but that isn't what held Gerbe back. Porter was the favorite going in and the award was given to the right player. He had a more consistent season than Gerbe and was a clear leader on that team. Gerbe was a stat machine while he was on, but he was not the leader of that team. Good points, all well taken -- I don't follow college hockey closely enough to say anything about any of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
