PASabreFan Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Never looked at it like that! The sun was still shunning for those goals :( There might be others. Alfredsson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_sauve28 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 You must have beer goggles on. Weber does what he does, I don't love him as a player, but he sticks to what he knows. Franson hasn't looked to sharp and honestly, I think that has to do with offseason conditioning. Not going until the last week of August without a contract can hamper you mentally. Colaiacovo has been terrible for as long as I can remember. Franson is just a strange looking player. Awkward skater and looks funny. good on power play but kind of a liability on defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverPowerYou Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 I haven't been able to sign into game centre either. I have Rogers and centre ice pack so it's suppose to be free. I was on the phone with Rogers tech people for an hour and a half on Friday and at the end they discovered there was a problem with the app on their end and said it should be fixed in 24 to 48 hours. Still isn't fixed for me.... If I get a gamecenter package will I be able to watch both home and away games? I am in Rochester btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colaiacovo has been terrible for as long as I can remember. And I think that's a huge cop-out because...what does he know? Even the things he's supposed to "know" he's actually bad at. At the minimum he should be able to win his fair share of puck battles, but even that he regularly fails to do because he's neither physically powerful enough nor skilled enough. It's like he has to play a physical lock down game because of his lack of skill, but he doesn't have the body to pull that off either.

That's completely fine, I don't really get into arguments about bottom pair defensemen they are really hodgepodge to be honest. So you're right, it was a bit of a cop out. He shouldn't be above a 7th defensemen on a quality d-core. Colaiacovo is terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in Rochester btw I'm guessing Rochester is in the Sabres "area", so you won't get any Sabres games live on gamecenter since they're available in your area on TV. It only really works if you live out of town, and even then I don't get any national games (NBC, NHL Network, etc.) or games against my local team (Flyers).

inkman Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere but we've recalled McCabe. I'm guessing Weber sits. I'll bet he doesn't. Everyone hates him, except every coach he has played for. At least Lindy knew how to use him. Put him with a skater. Weber - Sekera was a good pairing. The only guy on this team that fits the bill is pysyk and I'm not sure I want to saddle him with Weber. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of choices.

Lindy also knew that Weber couldn't play every game and be effective. He frequently sat. I got no beef with Weber. I have defended him and supported him in the past as he is all about the team. I always have spot for him but it's likely always as a seventh. He sits and stews and comes back with a nasty streak settles down, becomes in effective and the cycle repeats.

Huckleberry Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 The Columbus Blue Jackets role into town on a Monday afternoon to take on our Buffalo Sabres. The Blue Jackets are coming off consecutive losses to the NYR, and, like the Sabres, they are win-less so far this season. With Lehner out long term, we better get used to Chad Johnson in net, and pray that Bogosian comes back sometime soon. As a rant, day games can ###### off. There are 3 NHL day games tomorrow, who the hell is able to watch those? I'll be listening to the game somewhere on campus hopefully I love game days , they start at 19.00 - 21.00 pm for me :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pi2000 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere but we've recalled McCabe. I'm guessing Weber sits. I hope so, Weber is brutal, he's not an NHL defenseman. His skating is below average and his decision making is poor. Does he work hard and sacrifice his body to block shots? sure he does, but there's hundereds of those types of player in the AHL who just don't have the required skill set to be a regular NHL defenseman. That pairing with Franson was tough to watch, they really miss Bogosian and his speed. Another guy who looks bad is Gorges. Slow and he loses just about every single puck battle in the corners. He was directly responsible for the Stamkos goal last game. The modern NHL puts a high premium on defensemen who can skate. Look at guys like Kieth, Seabrook, Doughty, Suter, Subban, etc...

It only really works if you live out of town, and even then I don't get any national games (NBC, NHL Network, etc.) or games against my local team (Flyers). It is. Use a VPN service. All I will say about that. The Columbus Day Afternoon Game is a Ted Black Creation. Wanted to make it a Kids Day Game on a yearly basis. They ran a kid's game ticket special. Buy 1 300 level seat, get up to 4 kid's tickets for $15. I almost did it.. but we have hockey practice tonight so it was a no go. I'm wondering if all these afternoon games contributed to his demise. I can't F'n stand them an neither can the majority of fans. You're challenging me? LOL. Lindy also knew that Weber couldn't play every game and be effective. He frequently sat.

He sits and stews and comes back with a nasty streak settles down, becomes in effective and the cycle repeats. You have no evidence as to the preference of the majority of the fans. This makes no sense. Kids are in school and parents are working, it's not a national holiday. What a dumb idea, glad that knucklehead is gone. You know.. you call the guy a knucklehead and perhaps that would be fine if you fact checked yourself. The reality is that kids have off from school. Many parents take off because the kids have off and they don't want to pay for a full daycare session. In addition there are a lot of other businesses that are closed today and since you are only focusing yourself on the US market you are neglecting the fact that the Sabres draw heavily from Canada and that it is Canadian Thanksgiving today so they are setting themselves up for that market as well. But yes.. clearly a knucklehead. Game on. At least I can watch the first period and a half before having to go coach.

PASabreFan Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Add the Alfredsson goal as another time the Sabres got bounced from the playoffs in overtime in the afternoon. Confirmed. That leaves — Game 4 against the Habs in 93 at the Aud; Juneau; Hull. Of those, I am questionable on only Juneau, but I'm pretty sure that was a night game.

I think with my area it's not a holiday, but the teacher's use it as a teacher's conference day, so that's why the kids get it off. They just happen to schedule the teacher's conference on Columbus Day every year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
