Ogie Oglethorpe Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Big 2 pts. on the road; Granted they gave up another 3rd period lead. I thought they played with much more grit and desperation in the 3rd. That scramble in front of the net to keep the puck out towards the end had me thinking it was the playoffs. You can tell they are fighting for the W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FogBat Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Want even better news? We are now just one point behind Nashville. They took a beating from the Penguins tonight, 4-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FogBat Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Unfortunately, the Devils beat the Rangers in a shoot out. This is one of those rare events where I wanted the Rangers to win. From the way they've been playing lately, they're not going to the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmwolf21 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Was Mair hurt or sick or something? I honestly don't remember hearing his name once, and looking at the box score, he only got 4:24 of ice time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodfella25 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Anyone else really impressed with Gaustad's game 2nite? He finished almost all of his hits, was aggressive and hard-working behind the net. He really stood out tonight. That's precisely the kind of example this team needs right now. Also Paetsch, 2 more PP assists 2nite...looks like he wants to hold the job of PP quarterback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Yeah, and I heard the GOOOSE chants for him in the stands; way to go, Sabres fans! I'll tell you what- I hate Kalinin more than most of you, but he made SEVERAL key plays tonight, including the 1-on-1 in the third against Slater. It wasn't a total stop and Slater was flying, but he kept him to the outside nicely and made what could have been a near breakaway that would have resulted in a hooking penalty into a routine stop from a bad angle for Miller. He was also tough along the boards, especially late in the game. Damn, I hate to say good things about him, but he played a helluva game. And Paetsch: Here's the way I see it- when he first came up, he seemed lost at times as to whether to pinch in or drop back. I kind of get the sense that putting him on the forward line helped him understand what's going on in the offensive flow at the NHL level. The last game or two, that hesitation of pinch vs. drop back is gone, and he is making the right decisions. Good move putting up on the forward line, Lindy. At the end of the season, that will be forgotten, but I think it was a significant step in Paetsch's career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristian Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Also Paetsch, 2 more PP assists 2nite...looks like he wants to hold the job of PP quarterback The PP really seems to have re-ignited since he's been there. Very nice to see, how long has it been since we've had a blueliner who was any use on the PP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 You know who's a bum? Slava Kozlov. I hate every fiber of his being. Buffalo Sabres traded Vyacheslav Kozlov and a 2nd round selection (later traded to Nashville - Nashville selected Konstantin Glazachev) in 2003 to the Atlanta Thrashers for a 2nd (later traded to Florida - Florida selected Kamil Kreps) and 3rd (later traded to Phoenix - Phoenix selected Tyler Redenbach) round selections in 2003. So who did we get in return? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who did we get in return? :unsure: you'd have to find out what we got for the draft-pick trades to the Panthers and 'Yotes. I assume more draft picks.

So who did we get in return? :unsure: OK, this is the rundown of 2002 draft trades I've got: June 22,2002 - Vyacheslav Kozlov, 41st pick overall in 2002 to Atlanta for 31st and 82nd picks overall in the 2002 draft. - 88th overall pick in 2002 and a 2nd round pick in 2003 to Nashville for the 36th pick overall in the 2002 draft - 31st (Jeff Deslauriers - minor G prospect) and 36th picks (Jarrett Stoll -- ok, wouldn't mind having that one back) overall in the 2002 draft to Edmonton for Jochen Hecht. - 30th pick overall in 2002 draft and rights to Mike Pandolfo to Columbus for the 20th pick overall in 2002 (Dan Paille) With pick 82: Buffalo John Adams D Boston College (NCAA). He now plays for the Johnstown Chiefs ECHL team in the Tampa Bay organization. Not a high-level prospect. Atlanta and Columbus did some dealing and the Thrashers got Jim Slater. The BJs got Joakim Lindstrom. No news about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 So essentially it was Kozlov for Hecht? If that's the case, then I'd call it a wash. Jochen is much more of a complete player while putting up less offensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jochen is much more of a complete player while putting up less offensively. Kozlov and I guess Slater for Hecht, and we also gave up essentially a shot at Jarrett Stoll for Hecht. Draft picks are crapshoots but like I said, I sure wouldn't mind having the player Stoll has turned out to be in Hecht's stead. Given when the trade was made, Hecht was a great pickup and he really excelled with JP and Danny. I think that line was responsible for DB's maturation into the fine player we are about to re-sign ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 i was listening to the sirius broadcast of the atlanta radio guys (are they the same as their television lame-o's?) on my drive home from work, and they were alright. quick, descriptive, and they knew their sh!t. maybe they were on their game because it was the start of the game...i don't know. picked up rick and jim halfway through the first once i got home from nhl.com for the usual top quality call. this morning...i got into work and checked the nhl.com highlights...with the atlanta television feed... HOW ARE THESE GUYS STILL WITH JOBS? atrocious. they ought to be fined by the league for being so horribly bad at what they do. if they are the same guys as the radio team i heard earlier in the night, what happened to the enthusiasm? absolutely mystifying.

The worst thing about it is that they're like the polar opposite of RJ. No build, no flow, no excitement, no personality; they didn't even know when a freaking goal was scored by their home team. They were absolutely clueless, especially with regard to the officiating. We absolutely should count our blessings as long as RJ is on board. We shall not hear the likes of him again.
