GAME DISCUSSION THREAD GDT: Vancouver at Buffalo 10-17-13 at 7:00 PM

[skaught]

Have fun at the game; I still have to wait until they play the Kings on their west coast trip.

 

Hey, another San Diegan! Last time the Sabres were on the west coast I took the train up to the Ducks game, was surprised how many other Sabres fans were doing the same.

I never took the train for personal reasons but, where does it drop you off at, and what time is the last run back to SD?

 

Amerks All Access Ep. #1

 

 

Very informative; great job.

 

Let's Go Amerks!

[LGR4GM]

Latest line update... basically the same

26 Thomas Vanek – 19 Cody Hodgson – 9 Steve Ott

63 Tyler Ennis – 82 Marcus Foligno – 21 Drew Stafford

12 Kevin Porter – 22 Johan Larsson – 65 Brian Flynn

32 John Scott – 25 Mikhail Grigorenko – 8 Cody McCormick

10 Christian Ehrhoff – 3 Mark Pysyk

20 Henrik Tallinder – 57 Tyler Myers

6 Mike Weber – 55 Rasmus Ristolainen

30 Ryan Miller

1 Jhonas Enroth

Scratched: 4 Jamie McBain, 28 Zemgus Girgensons

Suspended: 36 Patrick Kaleta

 

I do like Larsson centering that line over Porter though. Porter is a 4th line or AHL guy so no need to take away Larsson's growth as a center. Let him play and learn.

Hodgson with a Gordie Howe hat trick of his own.

 

After he kicks the living crap out of Zack Kassian.

The train drops off at the Anaheim Angels parking lot between the stadium and the arena. You have to walk a little bit to get to the Honda Center, but there were so many people walking it wasn't really that bad. I think the last train leaves around 11pm, had no problem getting back home.

GO SABRES

Grigorenko on the 4th line is still stupid.

[lalalalalaFontaine]

I'm sending in an audition tape for the anthems.... Yikes!!!

 

Holy crap... I'm thinking the Nucks want to win this game after that first shift!! And we start to see more and more fans dressed as blue seats.

[LGR4GM]

ummmmm Buffalo the game started just thought you should know.

 

Also totally could here Robitaille in the background "are they ready for this game or not? what the hell?"

[...]

Ooof, I say ooof.

[LGR4GM]

11-1 in shots through 3minutes... wtf?

[Nitro60]

3 minutes into the game and Vancouver has 11 shots on goal.

 

Rob Ray's personal conversation covering RJs call on WGR is interesting. Wonder how long it will go

 

Is it me or is there an open mic on the radio broadcast? Trying to listen to RJ and hear heavy breathing over him. Very creepy.

[lalalalalaFontaine]

This is looking like the Soviets against the Washington Generals

[LGR4GM]

and that shift right there is why you dont put Grigorenko on the 4th line.

[CallawaySabres]

LOOK before you pass!!!!!

[That Aud Smell]

Holy Moley.

[...]

Looks like they have a better handle on things at the moment.

[Brawndo]

Damn

[lalalalalaFontaine]

What the hell are those Corsi stats or whatever they're called gonna look like after this period?? Good Lord

[wjag]

gee out shot and down by 1... feels familiar

[LGR4GM]

See what McCormick did there? Great job. More evidence Grigorenko should be no where near that line.

[wjag]

outmatched so far

[LGR4GM]

Risto is not having a good night. He seems a bit off this period. Stafford actually is playing... well. Flynn looks good but that line suffers from not having Girgensons.
