Eleven Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 It'd sure be nice to have 18 guys with 30+ goals and 50+ assists but that's NEVER happened in the history of the game and it never will. Every team needs guys who are willing to grind and do the little things (like killing penalties, facing the other teams number one, etc). The Wings had the grind line (Maltby, Draper, McCarty) when they were winning Cups, the Devils were littered with guys like Marshall, Pandolfo, Stevenson, John Madden, etc. That's just a couple of examples That's what it takes to be successful and keep your stars fresh for PPs and late game heroics. Mike Grier is a VERY important player to our success. You're damned right he is. Best defensive forward the Sabs have had since Peca, and he plays a cleaner game, too, which means he gets to kill penalties instead of take them. His ability as a d-forward is underappreciated throughout the league (actually, that might help come May). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Exciting game that brought back memories of the 70's when the Sabres could almost score at will. Good to see that on a night when Miller was not at the top of his game, that the Sabres could go toe-to-toe with an offensice machine. My favorite part of a game like this is when WGR replays all of the goals the next morning. It's an RJ festival!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
