LabattBlue Posted September 19, 2009 Report Posted September 19, 2009 Radio coverage on WGR55. According to the Buffalo News, Miller will play the entire game. Couple of other notes from the News... "Ruff said defenseman Steve Montador (neck stinger) will be held off the ice for a couple of days but forward Adam Mair (hip surgery) has the OK to skate on his own. Defenseman Matt Generous, ticketed for Portland, will miss a month with an ankle tendon injury."
... Posted September 19, 2009 Report Posted September 19, 2009 On the Direct TV guide, tonight's game is scheduled on FSD channel 663. Will we get that locally?

darksabre Posted September 19, 2009 Report Posted September 19, 2009 They hate Tallinder so much they aren't even going to bring him.

Calder Trophy Allstar Posted September 19, 2009 Report Posted September 19, 2009 just looking for someone to drop the golves tonight, and work the boards
wonderbread Posted September 19, 2009 Report Posted September 19, 2009 On the Direct TV guide, tonight's game is scheduled on FSD channel 663. Will we get that locally? Not unless you subscribe to the DTV gold package. Its Detroit Fsn.
... Posted September 20, 2009 Report Posted September 20, 2009 also, this game is being streamed online: http://www.myp2pforum.eu/nhl-icehockey/43540-ice-hockey-today-preseason-sept-19-2009-a.html Thanks for the link! God, Detroit is making the Sabres look like an AHL team.
wonderbread Posted September 20, 2009 Report Posted September 20, 2009 Miller just got hit by Eaves as he skated into him. Nice to see that gritty Gustaud standing there watching the whole thing doing nothing. side note: These Detroit announcers are the worst homers. Worse than RJ even.
repster Posted September 20, 2009 Report Posted September 20, 2009 TV on the deflection! Truth be told, the first two periods, we did not look good. Shots were 25-8 for Detroit at one point. I'm watching this on justin.tv
wonderbread Posted September 20, 2009 Report Posted September 20, 2009 Vanek with a sweet redirection from Butler to take the lead. Hopefully they keep it!
... Posted September 20, 2009 Report Posted September 20, 2009 Looks like Butler is trying to get himself on a PP unit.
repster Posted September 20, 2009 Report Posted September 20, 2009 Looks like Butler is trying to get himself on a PP unit. We certainly need someone to replace Spacek. He scored the lone goal for Montreal tonight.
darksabre Posted September 20, 2009 Report Posted September 20, 2009 I'm diggin Butler's point shots. It was something I noticed last year too. He makes good decisions on the point.
wonderbread Posted September 20, 2009 Report Posted September 20, 2009 Should be 3-1 if not for an early whistle!
... Posted September 20, 2009 Report Posted September 20, 2009 Holy sh*t. I can NOT believe they won this game. First one for Miller this season.
Stoner Posted September 20, 2009 Report Posted September 20, 2009 Rick sounds like he's calling Game 7 of the final in OT. :) Miller sure can turn it on in Detroit.
repster Posted September 20, 2009 Report Posted September 20, 2009 43-19 shots on goal. Ouch. If this was a regular season game, you would say that we stole two points. Not much intensity in this game by either side really, but Detroit carried the play in the first two periods. I wish I could say a Sabre really stood out but I can't (maybe Miller, but it wasn't like he was under seige, he just stopped a lot of shots). Oh well, two more preseason games on the net against the Leafs, and I think that's it. Even though we won, it certainly didn't look like midseason hockey.

Nice to see that gritty Gustaud standing there watching the whole thing doing nothing. side note: These Detroit announcers are the worst homers. Worse than RJ even. Well, except for the fact that Peaves was pulled down by the Sabres defenseman (can't remember who it was). Oh, and made essentially no contact at all.
... Posted September 20, 2009 Report Posted September 20, 2009 It was difficult to tell who was who thanks to the compressed web feed, but there were a few times I did notice Gerbe of all people. In the third, it almost looks like they had two men on him at times. It also seemed like Myers was making some solid D plays for the most part in the third. Can't say anything about the first period as I missed it, and they all looked like hell in the second. I also noticed a new PP strategy for the Sabres. Rivet at point in the center, two guys on the boards, Vanek in front and floater.

That was ugly.
nfreeman Posted September 20, 2009 Report Posted September 20, 2009 Did Detroit play their first-teamers? (ie Lidstrom, Rafalski, Kronwall, Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Franzen, etc.)?
SabresBillsFan Posted September 20, 2009 Report Posted September 20, 2009 It was difficult to tell who was who thanks to the compressed web feed, but there were a few times I did notice Gerbe of all people. In the third, it almost looks like they had two men on him at times. It also seemed like Myers was making some solid D plays for the most part in the third. I knew someone would mention Gerbe not getting the puck out of the zone at the blue line with about a minute left in the game. But I seen all of the first period and half of the third and Gerbe looked fine to me other than not getting out the puck late. Gerbe deserves the spot on this team, he hustle's and work's hard. That's exactly what they need him to do and the more he plays the more he should be able to adjust and get better. Myers I like the kid and he's going to be a solid defenseman for years to come but I really think the coaching staff needs to tell this kid he needs to throw his weight around alittle. He needs to be mean in front of the net. For a guy his size he just doesn't use his body enough. At least that's my opinion.

I can tell you who I thought stood out and that was Pominville. He definetly looks quicker this year and should rebound from last year.
