OverPowerYou Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I would have to imagine Washington. Always root for the team with less points to win and root for the team with more games played to lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Honestly, Koziol has surpassed Riter in the sense that he understands the game much better. With Riter it felt like you were sitting it's a friend at a bar talking Sabres, which was cool. They both interact with Paul Hamilon exceptionally. Brian Duff was a host on NHL Network before he joined the Sabres broadcast. I heard an interview with Schopp and The Bulldog sometime last year and apparently Duff grew up in Southern Ontario as a lifelong Sabres fan. He was riffing on some pretty obscure Sabres trivia and history. Once upon a time the Knoxes were able to attract Ted Darling away from intermission host on Hockey Night in Canada. I'd love Duff take a stab at PBP but he's the perfect intermission host. Duff needs to be national somewhere....he is just such a pro. If ESPN ever got hockey, they would be all over him. He's such a polished, classical feel, yet you don't feel 1 bit of phony out of him. I like him even more after listening to him on GR, deadline day. He's selfless too. Can look like a wiseguy, but instead dishes off the points. Probably the best talent in the entire franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 So I think it will probably come down to the Sabres and Winnipeg for that #8 slot. Don't lock Florida into anything. We are 4 points behind them. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazielSabre Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Interesting. As for the game tonight: - I thought they had much more jump and created many more scoring chances than they've done in the past few games. - Myers was a beast. - Very ugly goal that Miller gave up to Pidgeon, but he played well in the 3rd. - Once again, good zone time and a good number of chances for Hodgy-Ennis-Stafford, but no finish. - Sulzer has acquitted himself reasonably well in the 2 games he's played. - I would play Enroth tomorrow night in Boston. - Either way, I'll be interested to see if the fragile little children reappear in light of their having to play back-to-back and travel. It's a built-in excuse for those inclined to rely on it. - Toronto gave up a lead and lost in regulation tonight. In addition, Lupul is out for a month. The Leafs are done. I would also predict that the Capitals will run for the bus and that goaltending will be Tampa's undoing. So I think it will probably come down to the Sabres and Winnipeg for that #8 slot. - Vanek in particular had a lot of jump tonight. If he keeps that up he will start scoring regularly -- and the Sabres just might do it. - Winnipeg is at Vancouver tomorrow night, while TB plays Washington. If the Sabres beat Boston, Winnipeg loses in regulation to Vancouver and TB beats Washington in regulation, the Sabres will be in #8. Nice summary. Question about Enroth in Boston, if we don't put Miller in at Boston doesn't that send a message that we're protecting him from the big bad Bruins? Something they could capitalise on? I'm not sure, hence asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristian Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'll take the Tin man circa pre Ottawa Game 2 I'll take Mike Peca, pre-Darcy Tucker cheap shot any day :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Is there any reason that all pro athletes don't get flu shots? I know they aren't 100%, but it can't possibly hurt with all that travel. My bet is the team is calling the illness "the flu" but I doubt it is "influenza", the respiratory virus. That ###### kicks your ass for a good solid week. More likely it is the misnamed "stomach flu". Andrej, clean up your countertop and wash your hands after handling raw chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 There still is an optimist in there somewhere. Hope springs eternal. Who should win tomorrow between Washington and Tampa? We want TB, but it's more important that it not go into OT regardless of the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR HOLLIDAY Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'll take Mike Peca, pre-Darcy Tucker cheap shot any day :P I'll second that one, this team could really use Mike Peca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot source this quote, but one of the commentators who used to be a player several decades ago said the "flu" scratch was very often a "hangover" scratch.

That was back in the day when they drank beer after the game in the room. And according to Mike Keenan half the team in Chicago would go out to the hallway between periods to smoke. Before he put a stop to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember if it was in one of Punch Imlach's autobiographies or the "Rico said to Perreault" book but apparently Tim Horton would keep beer under the bench and drink during stoppages. I think it also said Gilbert was a pretty big chain smoker during commercial time outs, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, camplylobacter being far more prevelant than salmonella. e. coli and listeria combined. As far as the flu, I tell people that all the time that say the have the flu when they really just have a GI bug or a simple cold. If you've ever truly had influenza you feel like you want to die, and the only way to know for sure thats what you have is to get a flu lateral flow strip postive test at your doctors office.

Weave beat me to it, but I was going to say I'm not sure the flu shot covers the GI version ("stomach flu"), and apparently norovirus is really going around right now, too. http://yourlife.usat...-now/53211908/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, thats why you always hear how it's so important for infants and the elderly to get their shots every year. In fact, I worked on a project a few years ago with the goal of increasing the immunogenicity of the standard flu vaccine for these populations. And now I'm working on a food pathogen project, time to get in the lab and work with some listeria! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
