wjag Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Upon quick glance, I read that as "ENROTH with the winner". A chronological list of goals scored in the NHL by goalies: Billy Smith, November 28, 1979 Ron Hextall, December 8, 1987 Ron Hextall, April 11, 1989 (shorthanded) Chris Osgood, March 6, 1996 Martin Brodeur, April 17, 1997 Damian Rhodes, January 2, 1999 Martin Brodeur, February 15, 2000 (game-winning) José Théodore, January 2, 2001 Evgeni Nabokov, March 10, 2002 (power play) Mika Noronen, February 14, 2004 Chris Mason, April 15, 2006" Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goaltender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korab rules Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 You guys obviously aren't aware of Lindy's secret weapon. They brought back Ales to teach his backhand, forehand, backhand top shelf shootout move to Enroth. Enroth will now be the closer in all shootouts.

ROC Sabres Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Another two big points on the line. Let's continue this quick start to the season because playing catch up all year last year was not fun (ok maybe a little). Too early for "must win"?

NowDoYouBelieve Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Winning this game will put us on pace for 130 points on the season. Losing will have us on pace for 98. Lose the next game, it's down to 82. I'm not gonna say must win, but the numbers speak for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lose the next game, it's down to 82. I'm not gonna say must win, but the numbers speak for themselves. Very good call. In fact according to this site The Sabres currently have a 72.5% chance of making the playoffs. A win and it moves us up 4.1% and an outright loss takes us down 4.3%. That's a heafty 8.4% difference. Not must win, but big two points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cereal Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Haha alright enough already with the must-win's. It would be great to win this one and I think we will. As someone already stated, stay out of the penalty box. I think we'll get 2 PPG's, Vanek stays hot. Looking ahead, @ the lowly Panthers, although they've been hot, and @TB, who's been struggling. I'd feel great headed to Florida if the Sabres put in a solid defensive performance tonight. Get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 My dislike for les habitants is more related to the first phrase of my rant. The anecdote just sealed the deal for them. I am totally willing to make stereotypes and paint entire groups of people with very broad brushes. Especially if they wear a different sweater than I do. awh, c'mon man - you can't love hockey and despise montreal. (well, you can ... but it ain't right.) i've been to the city twice for a tour and once for a hockey game -- one of my favorite places on the planet (and that's with the recognition that there's plenty of anti-anglo animus to be encountered). Gragnani is IN. hmm. maybe a hockey heaven move? it's the guy's hometown, after all. unless MAG is lights out tonight, i say we see weber in the game after this one.

Samson's Flow Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 So glad there's a new GDT... that leftover Penguins thread was getting strange Stuck in Des Moines, IA for this one so i'm probably going to have to miss it. Will be scouring the interwebs for a stream of les habitants. Regarding MAG, here's to hoping that he has a strong game in front of his hometown and shows us all why lindy has such faith in him. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weber didn't get on the ice in his hometown.... if the sole purpose is to win the cup as has been stated put your best players on the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Gragnani has been pretty good until the last game. He adds a lot of value on the PP. I think he's on thin ice, but I agree with the decision not to yank him after 1 shaky game, especially when that game was a good road win. Tonight, I'd like to see: 1. Leino's line generate some chances and cash one in. 2. Miller look sharp, both on the good scoring chances and on the wristers from the blue line. 3. Regehr or Kaleta lay a big hit on Gomez (no, I haven't forgotten). 4. Continued production from Luker's line and Roy's line. 5. Price get shelled.

That Aud Smell Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 if the sole purpose is to win the cup as has been stated put your best players on the ice. QFT. i was just funnin' mostly on the hockey heaven angle. but lindy did say in his interview today that the fact that they're in montreal factored into his decision. "we're just hoping he can show us in a game and a city that I think he's going to like playing in that he can bounce back and play well." and i realize that english is not his primary language, but MAG's words on whether he should be in the lineup look weird on paper (or, screen): "I don't think I have any leeway. I'm not saying that it shouldn't be like that, but that's how I feel," Gragnani said. "Being the only rookie on defense, and look at the guys that we have on this team, it's a hell of a D corps, so if I'm not performing like I should be, it's only right that I shouldn't be in the lineup. He obviously puts the six D that he thinks he has the best chance to win, so if I'm not up and ready to perform like I did last year and I did in the first three games of the season, I shouldn't be playing." weber will get his chance(s). i just love MAG's upside.
