BuffalOhio Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 My post isn't about the fights, although I'm glad the guys didn't back down. My post is about the difference Ennis makes in this lineup. That little bastard makes everyone around him better. Having him at center is huge, too. He's creative, quick, and is a great passer. The power play where Pommer was robbed twice was mostly due to Ennis' creativeness. Losing him might have been the biggest injury the Sabres had this year.

LaFontaineToMogilny Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 My post isn't about the fights, although I'm glad the guys didn't back down.

The power play where Pommer was robbed twice was mostly due to Ennis' creativeness. Losing him might have been the biggest injury the Sabres had this year. He's been great at center, and last night he was instrumental. Not only in his patented rushes into the offensive zone, but he was great at carrying the puck out of our end as well (albeit a little lucky on a couple of occations). That was huge, because that is where the Sabres really took the Bruins of their game. They pretty much nullified the Bruins forecheck and as a result basically had their way with them.

rickshaw Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 If only Tyler Myers would get "mad" out there. He is so big and may not win the fights either, but get angry son. Get angry. Sabres showed up and that is what matters. Lucic won the fight but maybe one punch connected, the other were all visor shots. The Weber tilt was sad beause he didn't get a chance to defend himself. I don't like that. Lucic should be suspended for his stick to Kaleta's head though. Should, but won't. Anyone see the direct correlation to the Bruins' subpar play and Tim Thomas' White House snub, religious rants, etc.??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Lucic pounded Kaletas face. His nose was bleeding in the box after the fight. But it didn't look to me like he was trying to punch him. It looked like he was trying to land forearms, which is a b!tch move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FogBat Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 First one, draw. Second one, Lucic. Third one, I'm not even going to vote on that one. What Thornton did with Weber was total bush league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Did Thornton catch Weber at the end of a shift, or was Weber fresh, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderbread Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Thornton was out for blood. He should get 10 games for leaving the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumpy Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 how good a fighter is Joe Finley? Any chance we can get a large man up from Rochester for the next game with the Bruins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spndnchz Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 how good a fighter is Joe Finley? Any chance we can get a large man up from Rochester for the next game with the Bruins? He's hurt right now. And why would you want to break up the defense right now they are playing awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvelo Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Just start sticking needles in Myers this offseason. Has the dual benefit of giving him a bunch more strength/muscle, and roid rage so he actually uses it! I think you trade Myers and get something real good for him because the rest of the league holds him in high regard. The kid has no stones and you can't grow em...you have to be born with em. Holy cow. The fight's are coming faster than people can post them to youtube. I'll get Weber-Thornton vid when it comes available but the poll choice for it was added. My thoughts.... Thornton fight was really bordering on cheap. Thornton comes off the bench and makes a beeline for Weber. Doesn't give Weber a chance to square up before firing punches. All Thornton here as he overwhelmed Weber before he even knew what he was in to. Thornton in a landslide. Oooof. I tlooks worse each time I see it. Thorton TAGGED Weber at the end. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb256CSxJPA Thornton deserved to get tons of garbage thrown at him for that cowardly act. I wish the Sabres crowds were more reactive and emotional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Thornton deserved to get tons of garbage thrown at him for that cowardly act. I wish the Sabres crowds were more reactive and emotional. Like a Philly crowd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvelo Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Like a Philly crowd? I don't care about Philly or anyone else, Weber got jumped blind. Sabres crowds don't react in a lively enough way to what's happening, except for goals. Further, No Goal should have led to a riot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 He's hurt right now. And why would you want to break up the defense right now they are playing awesome. And outside of the addition of Vanek, why would you want any different roster on the ice against the Bruins other than the one that thumped them 6-0? And before someone brings up trades/rebuilding the team for the future, this really was more of a rhetorical question. Thornton deserved to get tons of garbage thrown at him for that cowardly act. I wish the Sabres crowds were more reactive and emotional. The vast majority of any crowd is not going to see what happened there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking the same thing. Weber should have been more ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
