ubkev Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 He has the tools on offense... His shot makes Dion Phaneuf look like a sniper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Can't believe i was worried about the tank hah :D Seriously i think Hodgson needs a good center to play with, and this team needs one to win faceoffs. hopefully grigs can become that. On gionta, don't think he is over the hill yet, but he isn't a 2nd liner, he has his spot lower on a good team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerme1 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 My guess is Connor McDavid is contemplating quitting hockey right now. I would be terrified at the thought of the Sabres drafting me. When he got interviewed at the arena and took the microphone he sounded rather enamored with the Buffalo crowd and it was a mutual thing. I'm sure he wont quit hockey or pull a Lindros, Eli manning type of deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sicknfla Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 When will some of you realize Myers is not going to get "nasty". Skating, strength, his shot - those he can practice and get better at. NASTY is a different story. You either have it or you don't. Something that your born with. The guy is in his 6th year. It's not happening. He may show you a glimpse once in a blue moon but usually it will take a stick to the balls to get it out of him.

kishoph Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 He did get a game misconduct last night. This is a problem with Myers getting "nasty", he does not have the luxury of the officials allowing him to do whatever he wants such as Chara does. It seems any time Myers does get physical, he's shown the gate. I'm not saying it's why Myers has not shown more toughness, but if/when he does, as long as he's wearing the blue and gold, the stripes/league will put an end to it.

MattPie Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 So my impression watching the game was that the Sabres aren't exactly good, but they played a decent game. - I noticed more physical play from guys like Stafford and Hodgson than I was expecting which is a good thing. - For a long time, I didn't think Ennis really had a place on a good team because of his size, but I'm finally coming around to the idea that he plays with enough fire to make up for it. - Reinhart didn't look out of place often, but I didn't see anything particularly great. He does seem to be getting his legs under him compared to the earlier games, which hopefully means he'll get a lot better. If after 6 games he's playing as well as Flynn, we're already positive. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I didn't watch the game, nor the highlights. So, I don't really know how the Sabres looked. The score sheet tells me that the Ennis goal made it 2 -1 with about 5 minutes left in the 3rd. That tends to tell me that the Sabres did not stink up the place, but maybe I am wrong.

qwksndmonster Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Is Samson drunk? He's not ready for the NHL. Not even slightly ready to engage men in puck battles. I don't hate the idea of playing him between a couple of tough SOBs, but he's not joining in yet, so our 4th line is basically useless. Hodgson, Moulson, and Ennis will all look better when we're actually playing them with other real hockey players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty true, up until then the Sabres played well. Neuvirth was solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsixspd Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 9 goals in 7 games. Ugh!!!! BTW, Buffalo is officially DEAD LAST in the NHL. We have 2 points, same as Carolina, but they've only played 5 games to our 7 so it makes us last. Hooray for the Tank!!! Yippee! Yeah.

X. Benedict Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) One thing grabbed my attention last night. for most of the game face-off wins were matching shots on goal. I think the last 2 minutes ruined it but it remained close. Buffalo - Won 21 FO 37% 23 Shots 40% of game shots. Ducks- Won 36 FO 63% 34 Shots 60% of game shots. Hard to win with those numbers.

Jsixspd Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Hard to win when most of the team's players are incapable of playing at an NHL level. GMTM has brought us Tanksign, the likes of which even God has never seen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMTM has brought us Tanksign, the likes of which even God has never seen! Tim Murray is a genius. Give the league false hope by saying we are going to improve by signing free agents and throwing money around. But the true goal is to be the worst team guaranteeing at least Eichel if we can't win the lottery. I thought they were bad last year but this years squad is worse. I know people want Grigs in the lineup when Reinhart gets sent back but I say keep him in Rochester and be the man and Kaleta fills Reinharts spot. Continue the tank please. I would like to know if we lose the lottery that we still can land Eichel. Hard to win when most of the team's players are incapable of playing at an NHL level. GMTM has brought us Tanksign, the likes of which even God has never seen! I agree but in all honesty the Ennis line would be better if playing against teams second lines. They are the acting number 1 line. Sad thing is Nolan is known for hard working teams but even this team doesn't do that.

Norcal Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Tim Murray is an evil genius. He has constructed the perfect smoke bomb right in front of everyone's eyes while clearly stating the plan to tank and allow the talent to develop elsewhere. Same thought at the same exact time, weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsixspd Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 The especially brilliant aspect to GMTM's tank - all the players are going all out, trying to win, but incapable of so doing. So there's a bit of entertainment to keep the fans engaged -but the end result is a team even worse than last year's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
