PASabreFan Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Mentally weak teams are "fazed", not "phased" by adversity. (Sorry, but you've been playing with fire with all the grammar/spelling posts lately.) Dreadfully punctuated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Per dollar, Roy is giving you a lot more than Pommer or Vanek. It's just that with his contract being so cheap and his performance in the past (especially spring of 2008), when he's not giving you great value, it means that he's underachieving. People never seem to notice the goals that Vanek creates when he's not getting on the score sheet. Most of the powerplay goals that don't come off of his stick are usually a direct result of his screen in front of the net. I have a hard time with statements like the bolded one above. There are things that can't be quantified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corp000085 Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Really? The Sabres are an American team? I've never understood the "USA USA USA" mentality at NHL games. It's beyond retarded. So is not knowing, apparently, that Canada has been our military ally and also celebrates Veterans Day. So yeah, on Veterans Day, let's kick a little Canadian ass!!! Ohhhahhhh. Ugly American defined. Just hi lighting a key point, since you're the PC police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are things that can't be quantified. We should start keeping track of subjective assists. I wouldn't be surprised if teams do it already. Big hit in the corner jars the puck loose, and you score five seconds later... there's an assist. shrader has the perfect example -- Vanek setting a screen.

PASabreFan Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Just hi lighting a key point, since you're the PC police. My response wasn't an objection to political uncorrectness. It was about how dumb it is on Veterans Day to want an "American" team -- with an Austrian, a German, a Slovakian, a Finn, two Swedes and a bunch of Canadians -- to beat a "Canadian" team with a similar UN makeup. It's dumb on so many levels, it's hard to use a word other than retarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are things that can't be quantified. I'm pretty sure that Roy's diving backcheck, followed by him spining on his knees and firing the puck out the zone, all to break up an odd-man rush didn't show up on the score sheet either (except maybe the +/-.) It works both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikegrier Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Sabres get back on track tonight. Miller will come back solid, the Oils' injuries and the fact that they will be tired will help as well. 4-1. Vanek nets 2, Staff and Clarkie get 1 too. Staff might put up all 4 points for the sabres tonight, he's an animal against the oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foligno's Nose Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 7:00pm Happy Veterans' Day! Thanks! Now, it would be nice if an American team can kick the crap out of a Canadian team.
