Matty Ice Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I think they have the potential to be very, very good this season. It is a combination of shrewd off season moves (free agent and contracting), an extended road trip to begin the season (for team chemistry), a balance of attacking and defending D, a solid goalie pair, one good line and two more decent lines, an owner committed to doing everything to change the culture (fans, players, building, sports writers and league), and a memory of what could have been... Good post. I also believe that this has the potential to be a special season. I will be more optimistic if we play this well against teams who are more aggresive with the forecheck. Although I would like to see a little more size, I still think we have 4 solid lines, 2 great D pairings, and 1 very good D pairing. Miller came out of the gates in Vezina form, lets hope he sustains it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Amerk Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 as far as Levy and Cohn I consider them to be no more knowledgeable about hockey than your average fan. ESPN barely even recognizes hockey as a sport, so I dont listen to anything they have to say. Their analysts are the types to say names like "Derek Wah" and "Marc-Andre Greg-Nanny."

ROCBuffalo Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Not to mention that 6 of the 8 experts have the Sabres winning the North East. 4 of 8 have Miller winning the Vezina, and Barnaby picked Ruff to win coach of the year. Not too shabby. haha barnaby, i saw that too, pretty sweet of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksndmonster Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Linda Cohn started more games at goalie on guys teams than most of us. :) I forget the name of the high school north of Horse Heads. Also Oswego women's team. Horseheads. Just one word :D I think the Sabres can win it all this year, but I'd be happy with an ECSF competing team.

inkman Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Horseheads. Just one word :D Been driving through horseheads my whole life (with parents as a kid too), on the way to the rednecky relatives. It still gives me a chuckle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Been driving through horseheads my whole life (with parents as a kid too), on the way to the rednecky relatives. It still gives me a chuckle. Still a memorable place for me as my 1-yr old, new car, broke a timing belt there. At that time, I was blissfully unaware of what a timing belt even was. I ended up renting a "Rent a wreck" which was truly a wreck to drive to Buffalo. Took them 3 days to get the part to fix it. Always hated those signals on 17 through there...
