carpandean Posted November 17, 2009 Report Posted November 17, 2009 It has to be one of the stranger roster spots you'll see. I can't think of too many players who were the absolute last case emergency fill in for every position like Paetsch is right now. Only crazy injuries and a busy Portland travel schedule will get him in the lineup.
BillHoppe Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 Based on the morning skate, it appears Lydman will sit another game. Lindy wouldn't give a solid answer, however.
Mbossy Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 Based on the morning skate, it appears Lydman will sit another game. Lindy wouldn't give a solid answer, however. Who stayed late? Was Lalime taking the extra shots?
BillHoppe Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 Who stayed late? Was Lalime taking the extra shots? I believe Miller's playing tonight.
NHLopinion Posted November 19, 2009 Report Posted November 19, 2009 Hey Bill why didn't anyone ask Lindy Ruff why the hell he had Gooser and Kaleta out there after a commercial break with 3 minutes left and down by a goal? Is there some kind of unspoken agreement not to ask questions that challenge what Ruff does? Does he respond badly to reporters that don't stick to softball question like Hamilton does? Even if they hadn't put Buffalo down a man they burned more than a minute off the clock.
FogBat Posted November 20, 2009 Report Posted November 20, 2009 With regards to it being "only" in the Times-Herald - Bill wanted to emphasize that they cover the Sabres, Bills, and Bonnies basketball. They all travel and their in-depth coverage is quite extensive for a paper their size. Bill lives in Tonawanda too, so he's as close to the action as anyone else. He sends me his stuff from the press box... I'll have to find out whether he wants to field questions here or via email. I know he likes email, but I think something a little more interactive here would be beneficial for all if that is something he is open to doing. I wondered about the travel issue, because it initially didn't make any sense to me that he would travel all the way from Olean to Buffalo round trip to do this sort of thing everyday. That's a lot of wasted time, gas, and money and I don't think that a paper like OTH has that kind of budget to pay him that kind of money (and newspaper reporters, regardless of genre and location, aren't normally paid that well). Given that he lives in the 'burbs, it all adds up.
... Posted November 20, 2009 Report Posted November 20, 2009 Bill you need to ask about Rivet. Is he hurt? Is there something distracting him at home? Is he bored? Find out what's up with his play.
Stoner Posted November 20, 2009 Report Posted November 20, 2009 Bill you need to ask about Rivet. Is he hurt? Is there something distracting him at home? Is he bored? Find out what's up with his play. Yeah, Bill is going to ask Craig if everything's OK with the Mrs. :)
deluca67 Posted November 21, 2009 Report Posted November 21, 2009 Yeah, Bill is going to ask Craig if everything's OK with the Mrs. :) I better question would be "is Sekera part of this team's plans?" I think Lindy made a huge mistake taking him out of the lineup last night. If they want to get his game straighten out benching him while his play is improving sends a bad message to the player. Rivet deserved to be the one sitting. If the only reason he was in the lineup is the 'C' on the jersey they may want to remove it and sit him down until he either gets healthier or whatever is hurting his game gets straightened out.

Find out what's up with his play. I have to wonder if he doesn't want to be in Buffalo anymore. EDIT: Remember the Chris Pronger soap opera in Edmonton a few years ago? His story is that his wife didn't want to be there, and that he demanded a trade out of there. The rest is history. Hopefully this isn't the case.
korab rules Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 Hey Bill - any word on the why's and what fors of lalime going down and enroth coming up?
BillHoppe Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 Hey Bill - any word on the why's and what fors of lalime going down and enroth coming up? Lalime's going down?? I haven't heard that. If he did, I think it would be for conditioning. I'm not even sure if he's allowed, however.
korab rules Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 Lalime's going down?? I haven't heard that. If he did, I think it would be for conditioning. I'm not even sure if he's allowed, however. Yup. Happened today for the reason you state. You were scooped by a kid who was stalking enroth's FB page. Apparently he changes his network as soon as he gets the call. There's a link under today's game day thread but I'm on my phone. More trouble than it's worth to cut and paste.
That Aud Smell Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 Hey Bill - any word on the why's and what fors of lalime going down and enroth coming up? stinky linky?
BillHoppe Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 Well, check back late tonight and I should have something. It's no secret Lalime plays better when he's in a groove.

Stoner Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 http://www.cmsbmedia...o-portland.html If this is all we have by now, I'd be a little suspicious.
shrader Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 Well, check back late tonight and I should have something. It's no secret Lalime plays better when he's in a groove. So he's just like every other goalie on the face of the earth? See, this is the kind of insight that keeps us clicking this thread. ;)
carpandean Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 If this is all we have by now, I'd be a little suspicious. Well, that and Enroth's FB status. ;) Seriously, though, apparently Bucky said that Lalime was on the ice for the Sabres' practice this morning. May all be BS or maybe they are just waiting to send him down until Enroth is actually here (they'd have the roster spot with Goose on IR.)
That Aud Smell Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 plus there's this. http://www.hockeysverige.se/news_show_enroth-tillbaka-till-sabres-igen.html?id=9008303 :blink:

May all be BS or maybe they are just waiting to send him down until Enroth is actually here (they'd have the roster spot with Goose on IR.) Looking closer at the link, it's just someone's blog. I'm not sure the "reporting" should be taken any more seriously than if any of us had written it. And it's hearsay -- what someone heard, or thought they heard on a radio station.
That Aud Smell Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 Translation ... sort of. too good not to post here. Thursday 03 dec 1531: | NHL Enroth back to Sabres again Jhonas Enroth is back in Sideboard Sabres and NHL again. Tonight to Thursday did he a charge for Portland anti Manchester, held season first nonentity and put compelling 39 of 39 hump. Sedan arrived beskedet that Sabres- reserves Patriot Lalime send down to Portland for that poll matchträning and under these terms is the conviction that Enroth ska smother up his place in Sabres.

At the same time am acting Sabres housewife anti Montreal ikväll and match anti New York Precedence on Saturday. Patriot Lalime had only act three matches this season. The latest each 21 November in 3-5- losses anti Ottawa.
