LabattBlue Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Hodgson wearing #19 please have an immediate impact coho Here's hoping he turns out a heck of a lot better than the last guy to wear #19....who has also a center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dEnnis the Menace Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I'll actually get to watch this game! Kind of happy about it...we'll see if that lasts. I'm excited to see Hodgson play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 7 points up now. This road trip could break their playoffs hope. Let's go Buffalo! That would be...7 points BACK now. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 WGR reported that it will be Hodgson between Ennis and Stafford I hate the idea of putting Ennis back on the wing, not because he can't play there, but on a team in need of Centers, Lindy removes a player that was working out at the position, which leaves us with 1 less Center than before we picked up a Center in a trade (Hodgson). I guess that Lindy wasn't going to take his son away from Vanek and Pommers. If they're going by the interview yesterday with Schopp and Parker, then the lines aren't definite. Lindy was uncertain how he was going to put the lines together and the Ennis, Hodgson, Stafford line was a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderbread Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Finally! Some games that start after I get done working for a change! You guys gonna watch in your footie pajamas? How's your cat doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldo Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Gas is killing us all... When you print 20% more money the Saudis need 20% more of it per barrel. That adds 60 cents to a $3 gallon of gas, then add 65- 80 cents a gallon in State and federal taxes, 9 cents more for the 10% ethanol content/at $9 per gallon production cost..... and you have an increase in the sale of Volts!. :rolleyes: ..(sorry had to do it).. because i really do not care what Lindy the Gruff does to screw up his lines tonight .

CallawaySabres Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 This Ennis thing on the wing better be a thought and not reality. I can't think of a dumber move after the way Ennis has been playing in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obstructedorangeseats Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Ennis is a weak faceoff man and is week defensively. These are two essential skills for a center to possess. At this point, he's playing the best hockey of his career and generating offensive production. That's a rare commodity on this team outside of Pominville and Vanek in 2011/2012.

dEnnis the Menace Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Ennis is a weak faceoff man and is week defensively. These are two essential skills for a center to possess. He's winning close to 50% of his draws, and he is isn't nearly as bad (or lazy...however you want to put it) back checking as Derek Roy. He's been playing at a much higher level in the middle than he was before. I really hope he isn't moved back to the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obstructedorangeseats Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I really hope he isn't moved back to the wing. At this point, we'd need Obi-Wan Kenobi for the lines to make even some semblance of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been playing at a much higher level in the middle than he was before. I really hope he isn't moved back to the wing. And he hits people. Ennis doesn't lay off the checks when they're there nearly as often as the old core players do (or Kassian, for that matter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 It's quite possible that Lindy's musings about Hodger centering Ennis and Stafford are a smokescreen for tonight's opponents. LR likes to do that kinda thing. I wouldn't be surprised to see Hodger centering Pommer and Vanek at the opening faceoff. 2 teams in desperation mode tonight. The Sabres have a PO'd Miller in net. His LA wife will probably be in attendance. Maybe she'll throw a Gisele tantrum at TP and DR that shows up on TMZ tomorrow? "You f----ing idiots shouldn't have traded my husband's friend!" That would be pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frissonic Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Hate west coast games. New guy to watch and we have a 10pm start. 5:15am is gonna come awful early tomorrow. see, i'm of the opposite mindset. i put my girls to bed at 7:30, and the game is on at 8. this couldn't work out any better for me. uninterrupted viewing of an entire game. it's like christmas in february AND march!

K-9 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 ... His LA wife will probably be in attendance. ... Good. Maybe that means Miller found a little time to "get some" like he did over the All-Star break. And we all know how that turned him around. Granted, he's upset about not being able to gaze into Gaustad's eyes over the breakfast buffet but a night with his wife should help him with that. GO SABRES!!!

BuffalOhio Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Make jokes about Hybrids all you want, but my Prius is getting 45 mpg and in the summer (when gas hits $5.00 a gallon) I'll be getting 55 mpg. Chevy Cruze Eco. 35 around town, 38 in summer. 42 highway, 45-47 in the summer. I hate gas prices, too, but at least I'm getting more out of it! i dislike this edit: and why wont my picture change!? My profile page is showing my new one, but i still am seeing kassians first goal puck Clear your cache and refresh your browser. I see Hasek now.

GO SABRES!!! NOPE! I think is more about no d in front of him. Gaustad was good positionally, blocked shots and was a key part of the shutdown line and PK . So Millers concern is more about less d more pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
