And dressing a goon that does neither. I can't remember the last time Scott was sent after someone that had given a Sabre a cheap shot and there have been plenty of opportunities.

I guess I'm a glutton for punishment, I watch every game until the end, I may turn it when there's a few seconds left, but I just can not turn the game off or ever leave early at a game. After over 40 years of being a fan I really don't know any other way and I feel guilty for some reason if I don't watch the whole game. I did fall asleep for the 3rd period during a game this season.

Didn't they make him remove the "Miller Time" from his mask in the past ? Maybe it Leino's ?

No Ville Leino, why even bother to watch ? :yawn: Watching how inept Leino is, has been about the best thing of watching the Sabres for the past few games.

I don't think it counts if it's into your own net. In the last 7 games, Stafford and Ennis are the only 2 Sabres to score goals. :sick:

Maybe a night in the pressbox would do him some good, but I'm sure nobody in charge feels like fielding any calls from his Father.

lol, damn spell correct, I did mean neutured, but he could nurture them, because some of them seem to be missing their Moma's.

Oh, I thought that was Cody Hodgson. :devil:

And yet not a Sabre does anything about it. Run the goalie, slash the goalie, punch the littlest guy in the face numerous times in front of our bench and not a thing done. Nolan has taken the little balls this team had left and nurtured them. Just about every game someone takes liberties with the Sabres goalie or one of the smaller forwards and nothing is done. With players like Scott and Konopka in the lineup, this should not be happening. Softest team in hockey.

:blink: Roller skater ?

The Sabres may not have a lot of talent, but the 1st line looks like the real deal, they've been generating something every time they're on the ice.

The past couple of games, the majority of the players have been far from playing hard. There is some serious floating going on out there IMO. The whole concept of ice time being rewarded for hard play, is out the window.

In the last 5 games, Drew Stafford and Tyler Ennis are the only Sabres to score goals.

If I was to bet, I'd say Ennis or Stafford.

Stafford Leinod himself.

He's reached his month's quota of SOG's with 2, anything more and he'll be looking to renew his contract. For a while there in the 1st half of the period, it sounded like Ray was the President of the Ville Leino fan club.

I'm gonna put my reputation on the line and predict that Ville Leino scores gets a shot on goal. :bag:

Marrone being an ex offensive lineman obviously thinks he can do something with him, or they never would of picked him up. Also playing between Glenn and Wood certainly could help his game. At worst, he's an experienced lineman who can add depth on the line.

His ice time did get cut last night, he's averaged around 15 minutes, but he had less than 10 minutes yesterday. To be fair to Leino, he doesn't always pass into his teammates skates, he hits their chest a lot too.

They've never had any intention of Rivers playing inside, if he does win a starting job it would be as the SLB and that would probably be as a 2 down player.

I can't say I don't like Hodgson, I think he has a lot of talent, but some things he's doing right now are the same things that people are still roasting Stafford for. His "compete" has been soft and at times he looks like his head is not in the game, or that he's just uninterested. He has great vision for the ice and he's not using it, the shot from far out on the boards last night was a great example and that's not the only time he's done something like that. The thing that does make me mad about Hodgson, is I know he can be, such a better player and possibly the best forward on the Sabres. I wouldn't say most of the year, he was on the top line with Vanek or Moulson for a long time. Still a "great" player should bring up his linemates game, not sink down to their level. He needs to become a leader and not a floater follower.

I really hope that nobody thinks that Hodgson is the Sabres best player, he'd fit right in with the old core of underachievers.

They didn't tag him because they were hoping to resign him, if the would of tagged him, he would of pouted and there'd be no chance of resigning him and they would of been stuck with him holding out through training camp again, then complaining of his sore tootsies, all of which would of been a distraction to the team. Good riddance, the Saints will be sorry in another 2-3 years when he holds out because he wants a new contract.

I swear it looked like that ref had his arm up even before the "slash" by Ennis landed. Outshout 22 to 4 and Neuvirth goes into a zone and keeps the Sabres in it.
