Tarrytown Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Since there isn't much to complain about these days I thought that I'd check out the latest from the TSN Rankings... #13 Buffalo - With only one regulation loss in the last 13 games, the Sabres have many believers -- that I've heard from personally, by the way -- and I'm slowly coming around, especially now that Daniel Briere is back in action. http://www.tsn.ca/fantasy_news/feature/?fid=548 I guess some peer pressure has been helpful...they are up from #17. And for those of you who could careless about the rankings...it's just plain fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwner Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 He must know that he is a joke. His two standards that he has said is "recent play" and "goaltending performance." Are we sure this isn't DeLuca writing for TSN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I love how Phoenix is at #4. Does Gretzky have his balls in a vice while he compiles these rankings? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JujuFish Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I guess you don't read TSN just like you don't read the posts ;) Kinda makes me curious. If you were to rank the teams, where would you place Buffalo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JujuFish Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 If Gretzky wasnt from Canada, tsn would have the Coyotes ranked #15 If Gretzky was with the Sabres, we'd be #1 even with being outscored 21-5 by Ottawa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest_Monkeygirl Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 From ESPN Sabres page, Rankings Archive: 2003-04 Week 15 18-23-5-1 24 Last season, it took the Sabres 60 games to win 18. This year, it took only 45. Wait, aren't those the kinds of stats thrown around about expansion teams? This year they've won 19 in 30 games....I haven't had this much hope and belief in them for a while. The support has always been there and hopefully will always be as long as they are here, but the feeling of supporting a young, hard-working team that believes in itself is quite priceless. It is like a reflection of me. Young, hardworking college student, et al. Anyways, who is the Forum Administrator because I've tried to formally register and I haven't received a confirmation email yet and it's been almost a day.....am I not welcome? My 'monkeygirl' name may seem silly but I know too much hockey for my age....although I'm sure I know little compared to others on this board......This is kind of my formal hello to everyone....I read your posts all the time....so Helllllo Playoff fancies are creeping into my head.......but there is too much hockey yet to be played.......and too many games against Ottawa to be tortured by.....maybe....maybe not......sleep....just sleep now....and tomorrow is a new day.....with new possibilities....and more injury updates to read about.....sleep. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saber61 Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 haha i think the sabres will use there new found confidence to destroy ottawa next time... they'll see emery in net and go after him relentlessly... i know they want payback...

deluca67 Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I guess you don't read TSN just like you don't read the posts ;) If their PP stays on a role? And the goaltending stays strong? They are a Top 10 team. Right now the are playing well. I don't have a lot of faith in the defense over the long term. If they go out and improve their blue line by getting a top line defensemen or two maybe not top line but solid guys? They could finish high.

Taro T Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 They are a Top 10 team. Top 10 in the East or top 10 in the League? Either way, it's a huge jump in the DPR's (DeLuca power rankings). ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I'm quite impressed with the D. I think the cohesion among them is getting stronger as the season goes on. Lydman has recovered nicely from his slow start, Teppo has been solid, Campbell and Kalinin are developing nicely, even Tallindar is comming along in my opinion. I think Fitzpatrick will be ready to step up next year. I hope we pick up a top line d-man at the deadilne for the sole purpose of a playoff run, someone who's contract expires after the season that we can get cheap. I think Mckee/Kalinin, Campbell/Lydman, Tallindar/Fitz will be very solid next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwner Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I think Fitzpatrick will be ready to step up next year. When he turns 31? Rory is embarassingly bad, he is only playing until Kalinin gets whatever he is missing back. Rory has no upside whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabresince70 Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 And didn't Teppo get more than a one year deal? You don't think we re going to eat that salary, do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
