rickshaw Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 So the Sabres are now 7-2-2 with Hodgson in the lineup while the Canucks are now 3-5-1 with Kassian. If not for the collapse against Col they'd be 8-2-1. Both players have 2 pts. CH has pts in a win while ZK has his in a loss. Just sayin :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I know that was not their best roster, but did the Bolts ever mail that one in tonight. And with the playoffs still a slim chance, against a team they were chasing. Must be a field day for their team storm cloud. Tyler Ennis is everyones pick for the best forward in the past month. But the second best is clearly Drew Stafford. Loving me some Foligno. Hard to the net, stick on the ice. Simple hockey works. He's already passed Kassian in goals. And only one behind Gerbe, Leino, and Boyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 After watching the replay of the big Tropp hit did Danny really say "ohhhh, does he come into his face!"? I hope so. After a long weekend watching good ball movement and deep penetration during March Madness, that seems like a fitting end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunomatic Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Foligno right now looks like the player everyone hoped Kassian would be. Hodgson finally gets on the scoresheet in a good way and good for him. Hopefully it'll give him a little confidence to have that pressure off. Tampa looked terrible and their goaltending looked downright gawdawful. Nice to see a game where we didn't have to go to a shootout. Great win.

deluca67 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 How's Hodgson tonight ? He must have taken a nap. Congrats to the kid, it took great plays by Pominville and Vanek, but he finally go off of the snide. Foligno right now looks like the player everyone hoped Kassian would be.

Where is all the love for Drew Stafford? 2 goals and 9 points over his last four games? Ennis, Foligno and Stafford are as hot as Adam, Pominville and Vanek were earlier in the year.

Ennis, Foligno and Stafford are as hot as Adam, Pominville and Vanek were earlier in the year. Stafford's play in the last week was largely responsible for knocking me out of my other fantasy team playoffs. SOG, +/-, A and Gs over last two week have been impressive.

Jsixspd Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Great game, but the Washington win against Detroit sucks. Dammit, if only Lidstrom hadn't been injured - that's a huge loss to the Red Wings and really explains the Caps win. Sabres got 4 out of 6 points while Tyler Myers was suspended. That's not too shabby, and could have been a lot worse. Gonna be rooting for Philly on Thursday night for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and yes to Foligno, but please people, temper your expectations. He doesn't suck if he fails to maintain a goal a game pace for the rest of his career. but somehow it will be Ruff's fault when he falls back to earth. He must have taken a nap. Congrats to the kid, it took great plays by Pominville and Vanek, but he finally go off of the snide. No, it took wngers capable of finishing the beautiful dishes he has been handing out since he got here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were speculating on the FAN590 yesterday that Boucher is on the hot seat, and if fired, his likely landing spot would be with Montreal.

Sabre Dance Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Foligno right now looks like the player everyone hoped Kassian would be. Hodgson finally gets on the scoresheet in a good way and good for him. Hopefully it'll give him a little confidence to have that pressure off. Tampa looked terrible and their goaltending looked downright gawdawful. Nice to see a game where we didn't have to go to a shootout. Great win. Actually, I was thinking the Foligno is the kind of player we hoped HE would be. I always pictured Kassian as more of a Kaleta-type player, but with more size, more intimidating than annoying and could score a few more goals. So far in Vancouver, Kassian has proved he can hit, and he has scored a bit but Foligno looks like the real deal. He made some excellent defensive plays in the last few games, is always strong on the puck and is big enough that no one has really tried to mess with him (so far). Unless he has a sudden regression, I think Marcus has seen the last of the AHL. Now, if we could only find 6 or 7 more like him... (With the extra draft picks Buffalo has, anyone think we could pry Nick Foligno out of Ottawa around draft time? OK, just a pipe dream, but boy would that be great!).

(With the extra draft picks Buffalo has, anyone think we could pry Nick Foligno out of Ottawa around draft time? OK, just a pipe dream, but boy would that be great!). Well, the bad news is that young players do tend to regress; there's an ebb and flow to a hockey player's development. Myers has been all over the place in the last three years. Ennis has ranged from superstar to "bad version of Afinogenov." Adam started the year averaging about 2 points/game and now he's back in Rochester. In 2007-2008, Dan Paille scored 19 goals for us. So who knows how it all turns out? The good news is that Marcus Foligno has played awesome every game since his second call up and you have to love that. As for the summer/draft, the Sabres have a ton of options. The team has needs and some players that should be moved. But I wouldn't be surprised if they just used all their draft picks to replenish the farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's putting up numbers now but based on past history he'll give you absolutely nothing for loooooong stretches and it'll drive you crazy so you take it with a grain of salt. But you knew that.
