deluca67 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 :blink: See, it looked to me like THIS roster is starting to gel a little. I am really concerned, now, that when the regulars start coming back, the team could fall apart yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sloth Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 This is about right. It's two points. Miller looked good tonight (driving that trade value up) and Kassian took another step towards being a permanent fixture in the lineup. I thought Kassian deserved an assist on the Adam goal. Why do people think Miller should be considered for trading? Miller and Vanek are the backbone of the Buffalo Sabres. Enroth cannot play 60 games yet. If I were to consider a trade, it'd involve Myers. The Sabres D is backloaded and Buffalo could get a very good forward in return for Myers. I wouldn't mind it if Myers and Stafford were traded to the Ducks for Bobby Ryan. Ryan is young and proven. It'd be an equal trade and it'd create some cap space.

... Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 :blink: Well, yes, I realize I'm pretty much putting the cart before the horse, but I'm trying to stay positive here. :pirate: This was a good game for the Sabres in light of recent games and I don't buy the injury excuse.

vasabresfan Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 More so than LEINO, if there was ever a misleading stat it's 2 points for LEINO, I think he has like 7 assist, but I also believe that not one of them are the primary. I thought that was one of the better games that I've seen Leino play though. His puck control in the corners and on the cycle was much more like we all saw when he was in Philly. And he was a plus 2. Hopefully it is a sign of good things to come. On the other hand, Stafford continues to confound me. He has so much talent, but it's like he only has one gear. There were several loose pucks tonight that he just didn't go for, and i just don't understand that attitude from a professional hockey player. It he had half of Gerbe or Ennis's desire, he'd be near the top of the league. It is so disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverPowerYou Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Caution Sarcasm included*** What? How did this team win? Miller sucks, this team is soft, we're all injured, we have no superstars, FIRE LINDY Ralph is cheap! Oh wait, wrong excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmwolf21 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Lindy's postgame interview with Hamilton - awesome. Fired up. Pissed about the league and how the goalie stuff has been handled. Called it a joke. Walked away mid-rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksndmonster Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 I was unable to watch the game, but I'll watch it tomorrow. Glad to see our boys get a win. Even gladder that our young guns played big again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarasotaSabre Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 I'm afraid that's what SHANAHAN is going to take into account and let TOOTOO off or at least go easy on him. I think he could of avoided him. Any particular reason you insist on capitalizing every name in your posts? We can read just fine ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabresFan526 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Finally! A good game by the Sabres and they defended their goalie. If Jordin Tootoo is not suspended, then I really don't know what to make of this league. The only problem I had with the Sabres defense of Miller tonight was that nobody sucker punched, cross checked or slashed in the face or just absolutely made it such that Jordin Tootoo could never play hockey again much less live. But, hey, that's okay. The only other problem I had was that in that fracas, Gaustad got hurt and didn't get a chance to run over Lindback, which is a problem as he's the best Sabres faceoff guy. Also, really good game by Ehrhoff both on the score sheet, but also in defending Miller. I was very happy with Ehrhoff overall tonight. I thought the Sabres played pretty well, especially in the first, but they did not get anywhere near enough pucks on the net. They cycled a lot, which is good, but I'd like to see more pucks on net. Ennis has got to score on the open net. Apparently, it's easier for him to score with the goalie in than out. Additionally, Stafford absolutely has to score on the empty net as well. He can't put a lazy shot into the zone because an empty net goal puts the game out of reach. Overall, I was very pleased with the performance tonight of the Kassian-Adam-Leino line in particular and overall the team played well. I loved the response to Tootoo, and if he's not suspended, then this league is a complete joke, and I agree with Lindy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't about the Sabres response. Again, IMO these are two separate issues - the Sabres response and play versus the league's inability to consistently enforce its own rules and properly discipline offenders. It's about calling out Shanny for his stupidity and ###### and the league for allowing it to escalate to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevecana Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Best game I've seen in awhile. A little bit of everything. I still think we lack enough firepower to be elite, but its still early in the year. Leino was solid tonight and so was Vanek. Ryan Miller is elite, period.

Sounds like a bogus reason to hate on Ruff. Thank you, yet again, for continuing to prove my point in multiple different threads about how you consistently hate on members of the Buffalo Sabres simply because you don't like them with outrageously bogus reasons. Please still prove me wrong on how you are not a hypocrite and do not hate on people for bogus reasons. Oh wait, I'm still waiting and yet again, every time you post on this message board, you continuously prove me right. Thanks. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller was run and Tootoo got 5 minutes and a game misconduct for a play that would have gotten 2 minutes if anything at all prior to Nov. 12th.

SwampD Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Kassian's play was very enjoyable. I agree. I just want to point out that not every game has to be put in an historical context, or put in terms of how it will relate to us winning a Cup. Every once in a while you just have sit back and say,"What a good game?! That was fun!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pissed that they ended up with only a 1-min PP and got a guy hurt in the ensuing scrum (Gaustad). Plus pissed he was validated that the league thinks it is open season on goalies.

thesportsbuff Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Can someone tell me why Goose even got his two minute double minor? He never even really got to Tootoo. I'm guessing his "warning" or whatever to Lindbeck got him the extra time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
