deluca67 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Posted February 10, 2010 Does anyone remember some guy named Paul Gaustad? He was a pretty solid Sabres prospect coming from the AHL ranks. He was mean, tough and played with a edge. He was projected to be the Sabres next real bada$$. What ever happened to him? Is he in the NHL? Does he play professional hockey? If anyone has a "Where Are They Now" on him please post it.
carpandean Posted February 10, 2010 Report Posted February 10, 2010 Odd choice of topic after tonight's game.
deluca67 Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Posted February 10, 2010 Odd choice of topic after tonight's game. Not really. The Paul Gaustad that first came up with the Sabres doesn't exist. A flash here and there maybe. A consistence physical presence, not even close. In another thread someone questioned if the Sabres should trade Kassian. Will not Kassian go through the same neutering procedure as Gaustad? Will Pat Kaleta?

It would have made more sense after a game where he wasn't a physical presence.

Will Pat Kaleta? Paul Gaustad play his a$$ off every night. He works hard and gives 100% each night. Tonight, he brought on some good hits and offered to fight Chara. He is one of the most reliable people we have...check his face-off numbers! He is not a huge goal-scorer. He is not making 7 million. Why don't you make a post about the epic fail of Roy and Vanek.....Roy is a JOKE...a glorified joke. He gives more effort making commercials than he does playing. He should have made a commercial that explained he would give $1000 per giveaway instead of per goal...kids with diabetes would be getting MUCH more help! Vanek hasn't done much to rectify his huge paycheck. At least he is not making presumptious commercials though...
TheChimp Posted February 10, 2010 Report Posted February 10, 2010 I wish Goose woulda just punched Chara in the face before going to the penalty box. He probably wouldn't have even been given a stiffer penalty had he done it. Chara's a ######.
sabills Posted February 10, 2010 Report Posted February 10, 2010 on a seperate note, i don't really get the title to this page. the gander is the male goose.
darksabre Posted February 10, 2010 Report Posted February 10, 2010 and goose and gander are the same thing. It's a poor attempt at a play off of the "goose for gander" idiom, no doubt done out of a lack of knowing what the actual phrase is. You know, like "all intensive purposes". lmgtfy http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/What%27s+sauce+for+the+goose I guess the question becomes, why are we talking about what tastes good on Paul Gaustad?

JJFIVEOH Posted February 10, 2010 Report Posted February 10, 2010 Did anybody watch the Boston feed? Their announcers were saying that Chara has a splint on his pinky and that if a player gets into a fight with any kind of device on their hands they are automatically thrown out of the game and could face a fine. Sorry for getting off topic.:D

Sorry for getting off topic.:D All the more reason for Goose to have just hauled off and wholloped him right in the nose. I mean hey, if yer gonna crosscheck people in the back, you better expect a punch in the mouth for it, is all I'm saying.
Chief Enabler Posted February 10, 2010 Report Posted February 10, 2010 All the more reason for Goose to have just hauled off and wholloped him right in the nose. I mean hey, if yer gonna crosscheck people in the back, you better expect a punch in the mouth for it, is all I'm saying. I believe goose was trying to make that point, egging him on. I would be sure that the Sabres knew about the pinky or "upper body injury". Perhaps thats why Lucic/Mair & Rivet/Thorton went and there was 65 hits combined or something. But I agree, if Chara is going to play that way and turtle, thats not too cool. BTW, Edwards and Brickley were salivating about the Goose all night long about his play, etc.
LabattBlue Posted February 10, 2010 Report Posted February 10, 2010 What ever happened to him? I have a feeling I am going to be posting this a lot over the coming months... The Lindy edict... Don't fight, you will cost the team a PP, and don't hit, you will take yourself out of position.
LabattBlue Posted February 10, 2010 Report Posted February 10, 2010 Paul Gaustad play his a$$ off every night. He works hard and gives 100% each night. :lol:
LabattBlue Posted February 10, 2010 Report Posted February 10, 2010 Will not Kassian go through the same neutering procedure as Gaustad? Maybe Kassian is just crazy enough to kick Ruff's ass if he tries this on him. :D

I agree that he's been too quiet in the last couple of weeks, but he had a very strong start to the season and I really liked his game last night. DeLuca has clearly crossed over to the dark side.

bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted February 10, 2010 Report Posted February 10, 2010 I have a feeling I am going to be posting this a lot over the coming months... The Lindy edict... Don't fight, you will cost the team a PP, and don't hit, you will take yourself out of position. Lets see we are number one in league on penalty kill so we should not worry about taking a penalty for being physical. The problem right now is we do not play physical at all. Also how come other teams can keep PP control in our zone however when we are on power play more time is spent chasing the puck that got out and trying to get it back in and under control.??? This team as its currently playing is becoming difficult to watch it doesnt look like hockey at all.

I am so tired of hearing how hard someone plays. If they suck they suck. I'm also so tired of hearing how we outplayed the other team. If we lost we lost. I'm also tired of hearing how are top six have to be our top six in order to win. Tim Connolly, C 57 14 38 52 Jason Pominville, RW 57 15 26 41 Derek Roy, C 55 12 27 39 Thomas Vanek, LW 52 17 20 37 Tyler Myers, D 57 7 24 31 Drew Stafford, RW 53 14 14 28 Jochen Hecht, C 57 12 15 27 They are. That's the problem.

Lethbridge Broncos Posted February 10, 2010 Report Posted February 10, 2010 He played well tonight and has played hard every game I have seen. He hits and drives the net. No one, IMO, plays harder on the team. YOu are wrong. But they need to get another lumbering centerman. Ethan Moreau is your man. THey need more size for this run. Does anyone remember some guy named Paul Gaustad? He was a pretty solid Sabres prospect coming from the AHL ranks. He was mean, tough and played with a edge.

So, you've only seen a handful of games? When I see posts like this I literally laugh so hard it hurts. I know this as 100% true, if Paul Gaustad was European he would be getting far more heat for his play than he is getting now. His presence is felt on game nights as often as Kotalik's was.

Don't fight, you will cost the team a PP, and don't hit, you will take yourself out of position. Lindy's edict makes a lot of sense considering the money the Sabres wasted on scrapping the bottom of the free agent barrel for every scrapper that would sign a contract. I remember reading the posts before the season on how tough this team was going to be. Yet, here they are as soft as ever. If it is a result of coaching? Where are the billboard guys?

True. he certainly would! last night was the first game in a while i noticed he was playing. the sabres dont have a physically dominating player. BUt their real need is scoring... if this losing streak hasnt highlighted that enough
