Oof. :sick:
-
Ennis questionable tonight with flu-like symptoms: http://sabres.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=759422 D'amigo out and Schaller back in.
-
Agreed; I'd much rather have friendly conversations over bourbon about how Cow Lilly must go. ;)
-
It's not at all uncommon to hear newly signed players talk about a great hockey town and great fans as reason why they're excited to play somewhere. If it were all about $, we'd have signed Brad Richards. And there are plenty of injured players witnessing the nonsense who factor into our long-term plans (Gorges, Bogosian, Kane, Girgensons, Johnson?). We'll have to agree to disagree, because you're not going to change my opinion on this topic.
-
I have no empathy. Cheer the loss silently if you must attend home games, or don't go. I'm sure the players do know what's going on, but it still has to feel like the fans have turned against them and it doesn't help. Appearances matter when it comes to UFAs who have to choose Buffalo vs. draft picks who have no say. But if we want to continue being a franchise that signs Ville Leino instead of Brad Richards, then by all means, go for it.

I tried to make it clear in my post that I wasn't attacking the tank mentality or fanship (although I've gone on record elsewhere that I disagree with it); I'm talking specifically about vocally rooting for the away team at FNC. That's what I find abhorrent. You think the players don't notice these things? You think this helps GMTM's cause if he wants to re-sign Neuvirth in July, after Neuvirth already stated he disliked the idea of tanking? You think Kane and Bogosian won't notice? Or any other UFA Murray wants to pursue this summer? It's assinine and I'm embarrassed that people are doing it.
-
Right; because they're clearly the only team located in an area where hockey would not normally be played. At least in AZ they don't have absurd humidity messing with the ice like they do in Florida.
-
The BN had an article stating just that the other day; I for one find it embarrassing and shameful that our own fans would vocally cheer against the home team at a game. Doing it here and silently hoping for it there is one thing, but doing it out loud at the FNC? A new low.
-
Yeah, I've seen that, too... they even have an ad on the boards at Gila River! Very odd.
-
Good call on Lindback for the Dallas game. As long as Hackett gets enough games to retain his rights, I don't mind; I want them to keep him in the system long enough to get a good look after his performance tonight.
-
Good effort by the boys tonight (especially Hackett).
-
That was actually a decent shot by Hodgson.
-
Sabres are buzzing! 3-0 Nashville
-
Tough to say, but the skeptic in me says unlikely... I'd guess it's some combination of small sample size and the fact that they have almost no pressure on them right now (apart from the competition within the goalies). I'd be thrilled if they end up being good for the long haul, though.
-
Lost / broken stick and went back to the bench when Nashville was on a breakaway.
-
38/40 shots is pretty darn good.
-
score by Nashville, 2-0 Yeah, bad decision by him.
-
Amen to these. LOL
-
lol
-
I thought he said youngest D-man? Not sure now.
-
He did get his hand out, but it almost looked like as soon as he did he realized he shouldn't and took it back (didn't look like it really held up the other guy at all). Oh well.
-
Not really any chance for Hackett on that one.
-
That was kind of a weak call on Larsson. Well that didn't take long.
-
Yeah, I'm glad it's not his eye, but I'm guessing he won't be back tonight. Surprised the broadcast guys haven't said anything since intermission about it. Hope he has a good dentist at home!
-
OUCH -- saw the hit, but didn't hear the broadcast team say anything about lost teeth! No wonder he went down so hard on the ice (and stayed there).
