HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SUCK MY ##### MR. GARRISON! AHA

Very nice Cartman :clapping:

[Thedefeated]

Maybe he was too busy thinking about having some fragile little children of his own.

[thesportsbuff]

Do or die time for the Sabres PP

[Fire Lindy Ruff NOW]

Maybe he was too busy thinking about having some fragile little children of his own.

or maybe hes the fragile little child all along.

[Hawerchuk]

Not good enough again.

[thesportsbuff]

I love how Leopold scores on the two nicest wrist shots a Sabre has taken all season and Lindy doesn't want him on the point on the Powerplay.

[deluca67]

Stafford with the puck in the slot. That needs to be buried.

 

Miller was bad when the team needed him most.

I would be more concerned about another Lindy Ruff team unprepared to play a game.

This is a recording...

I defended him aggressively all off-season while arguing with some Canucks fans over who is better, Luongo or Miller. I'll finally concede that he's got to be the most over rated hockey player in the league right now.

[bunomatic]

Bah friggin humbug! The Sabres are on my rotten list. Give me the world juniors tournament, I wanna see some real hockey with passion.

Absolutely.

 

To keep this going though and to piss you off, when a blatant trip leads to the 2 on 1 game winning goal, there is no way you can say officiating didn't effect the outcome of this game.

[North Buffalo]

Anyone worth drafting in the U-17 class? So now that it is established the Sabres will be getting a top 10 pick, anyone out there next year that could be a top 5 the Sabres could go after with a little work. Play Stafford and Connolly more! Hey boys get the winter golf carts out, this team is done...

[North Buffalo]

Get out your fluorescent orange balls!

This is true, but the four-forward powerplay hasn't worked for Lindy since '06 when Kotalik and Pommer took turns firing cannons from the point. It's the direct cause of at least a couple of the short handed goals allowed this year. If you're going to use it, at least put someone who will produce there. Everytime I see Pominville at the point I want to puke. His slapshot has disappeared and his wrist shot has been weak this year aside from a goal or two -- I just don't get how you put him on the point when you have an offensive defenseman like Leopold, who not only was having a great game, but is in the middle of a pretty good season (pretty sure he's at least tripled pommer's production).

Frustrating way to lose this game.

pominville was on the point in 06? i dont remember that.

[PASabreFan]

Has a defense-man ever led the Sabres in goals scored?

 

No, but Zhitnik came within a point of leading them in scoring in 97-98.

[thesportsbuff]

pominville was on the point in 06? i dont remember that.

 

He was. He and Kotalik were the main reason our powerplay was Top 5 in the league that year.

 

Edit: maybe not the MAIN reason, we did have Drury/Danny/Max/Dumont tipping in rebounds, too. But they were a big piece.

[Hawerchuk]

alot of friggin missed shots all night. Amazing how the Sabres missed the net plenty of times. :wallbash:

PROVE IT

I can and I will. Miller needs to make the routine save. I'm sure players on both teams have bruises from uncalled hacks and slashes.

 

The word "trademark" is often used in sports. Is the "trademark" for Lindy Ruff teams being unprepared?

blah, blah, blah,... it was a trip.

I couldn't agree more. It's time.

[thesportsbuff]

PROVE IT

 

 

 

this video is full of pommer shots from the point

I am in Columbus now and listened to the game all the way here on the radio. I have trouble getting GR55 in South Western, New York, yet can hear it in Columbus, Ohio??? Strange!
