GAME DISCUSSION THREAD

Not even close. Besides our #1 wasn't any better today.

 

Nope, he sure wasn't.

[nobody]

Need a shorty from Kaleta.

[North Buffalo]

Can the puck hit a glove and then go into the net? What are the rules. Looks like it hit his glove, but could've then hit the Thrashers leg.... Just curious what the rule is?

[bills_fan_in_raleigh]

At one time we had the hardest working team in hockey, at one time we had a fast looking team, now each game we make the others teams looks faster and harder working

[bills_fan_in_raleigh]

Even the Carruba collision went to a thrasher

Rule 67.6 Disallowed Goal - A goal cannot be scored by an attacking player who bats or directs the puck with his hand into the net. A goal cannot be scored by an attacking player who bats or directs the puck and it is deflected into the net off any player, goalkeeper or official. When the puck enters the net on a clear deflection off a glove, the goal shall be allowed.

Well 0 - 1 in those 4 easy games good start to this road trip

[nobody]

Did I mention needing a shorty?

[Chief Enabler]

classic max right there :lol:

[PromoTheRobot]

Mair barely touches him and Kubina goes down like a sack of schitt and we get a penalty.

still was a trip sorry

[PromoTheRobot]

Well we can kiss one or two points goodbye. At least the Sens are losing.

Sabres have three wins in regulation in the last 20 games.

 

Three!

And yet Darcy thought this team was good enough to be a Cup Contender by just adding Torres

[nobody]

I feel bad for Lalime. I think this is the second time Miller gets pulled where Lalime gets the loss.

[ROC Sabres]

Watched the replay a few time and it went off of his glove. If I could tell that from a DVR recording, Toronto needs some new equipment.

Thanks... Oh well.... Sabres just can't seem to score enough when needed.... I thought the team played better with Goose out and what's his name up from Portland. I don't think either skates great, but Mancari has better hands around the net.... Sit Goose or Torres and and bring up Mancari.

Sabres rely on Miller too much. Gaustad needs to watch tapes of Holmstrom to learn how to use his size. I'd like to see Tyler Ennis or Nathan Gerbe get a shot up here to generate some offense, but they give up ALOT of size.

[CallawaySabres]

1) Will Miller and the team in front of him EVER play well again on the same night?

2) Torres is a complete and total waste of a 2nd round pick

3) Gaustad is totally useless other than faceoffs

[LabattBlue]

Game thoughts...

 

- Horrible start to the game. Bad defense & horrible communication between Miller and Tallinder.

 

- While Lalime did not square up to the shooter on the GWG, Slater beat Myers to the net. Thumbs down to both players.

 

- Mair's effectiveness in the offensive zone all night was negated by a ###### ridiculous penalty at a time that couldn't have been worse.

 

- Nice job by Lindy of getting Gaustad in the dot with 3 seconds to go. He does one thing well and when the game is on the line, where is he?<_<

 

- Vanek is a lost soul 5 on 5. The one good chance he had, he fired it wide.

 

- I thought Hecht was the best forward for the Sabres.

 

- Roy continues to provide evidence for my case that he needs to be shown the door in the offseason.

Is that you Harry? :)

 

It can go off the glove, it just can't be batted or gloved or directed into the net.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that he did not say anything like that. His stance was (1) we're in good shape for the next few years because or "top six" are locked up; and (2) deadlines are times to tweak your roster. Not that I'm saying that's any better, but ...

See rule quoted above.

 

There was some entertainment value in this one. Timeout called late. Harry says Buffalo called it, if not Atlanta. Then, during the timeout, he said he didn't know how much time was left, since the clock was still running. Rick had to tell him that was the timeout clock.

 

Torres has no hockey sense.

[Eleven]

I am nearly ###### speechless. I certainly am disgusted.

[CallawaySabres]

Could be a battle for 1st place when Montreal comes to town next week...good job boys!
