Stoner Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 Mentally weak teams are "fazed", not "phased" by adversity. (Sorry, but you've been playing with fire with all the grammar/spelling posts lately.) Dreadfully punctuated.
wonderbread Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 Dreadfully punctuated. fragmented sentence
shrader Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 Per dollar, Roy is giving you a lot more than Pommer or Vanek. It's just that with his contract being so cheap and his performance in the past (especially spring of 2008), when he's not giving you great value, it means that he's underachieving. People never seem to notice the goals that Vanek creates when he's not getting on the score sheet. Most of the powerplay goals that don't come off of his stick are usually a direct result of his screen in front of the net. I have a hard time with statements like the bolded one above. There are things that can't be quantified.

darksabre Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 Intangibles? get out of here with that word! the ghost of number 23 lurks here... :ph34r:
Corp000085 Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Posted November 11, 2009 Really? The Sabres are an American team? I've never understood the "USA USA USA" mentality at NHL games. It's beyond retarded. So is not knowing, apparently, that Canada has been our military ally and also celebrates Veterans Day. So yeah, on Veterans Day, let's kick a little Canadian ass!!! Ohhhahhhh. Ugly American defined. Just hi lighting a key point, since you're the PC police.

There are things that can't be quantified. We should start keeping track of subjective assists. I wouldn't be surprised if teams do it already. Big hit in the corner jars the puck loose, and you score five seconds later... there's an assist. shrader has the perfect example -- Vanek setting a screen.
nobody Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 I guess we're facing Khabibulin tonight. So the Sabres probably get shut out.
Corp000085 Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Posted November 11, 2009 So the Sabres probably get shut out. Nah, that only happens against goalies we've never heard of!
Stoner Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 Just hi lighting a key point, since you're the PC police. My response wasn't an objection to political uncorrectness. It was about how dumb it is on Veterans Day to want an "American" team -- with an Austrian, a German, a Slovakian, a Finn, two Swedes and a bunch of Canadians -- to beat a "Canadian" team with a similar UN makeup. It's dumb on so many levels, it's hard to use a word other than retarded.

Plus, as long as they sing the Star Spangled Banner last, its an American team no matter who plays, retards included!

There are things that can't be quantified. I'm pretty sure that Roy's diving backcheck, followed by him spining on his knees and firing the puck out the zone, all to break up an odd-man rush didn't show up on the score sheet either (except maybe the +/-.) It works both ways.

Plus, as long as they sing the Star Spangled Banner last, its an American team no matter who plays, retards included! More than one actually, Miller and Stafford EDIT: and connolly, kaleta and Kennedy.
mikegrier Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 Sabres get back on track tonight. Miller will come back solid, the Oils' injuries and the fact that they will be tired will help as well. 4-1. Vanek nets 2, Staff and Clarkie get 1 too. Staff might put up all 4 points for the sabres tonight, he's an animal against the oil.

Foligno's Nose Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 7:00pm Happy Veterans' Day! Thanks! Now, it would be nice if an American team can kick the crap out of a Canadian team. GO SABRES! I think the Bills could take the Eskimos...maybe.
Foligno's Nose Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 All he meant was that he wanted the Sabres to beat Edmonton tonight. Settle down, chopper. Lighten up .
wjag Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 Interesting that Lindy put Roy's line out there to start the game.. Shaking up his tendencies..
SwampD Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 More than one actually, Miller and Stafford EDIT: and connolly, kaleta and Kennedy. No love for goose?
ROC Sabres Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 No love for goose? I knew I forgot someone!
wjag Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 Stafford lifts a rebound.. Buffalo: :worthy: Oilers:
ROC Sabres Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 Stafford lifts a rebound.. Buffalo: :worthy: Oilers: +1 for corp EDIT: wow, I can't read. I mean Mikegrier
wjag Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 The Buhlin Wall has fallen... Vanek and Connolly get the assists..
SwampD Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 The Buhlin Wall has fallen... Vanek and Connolly get the assists.. A lot of this period has been played in the oilers zone. me likey.
