spndnchz Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 BLUES (25-21-9) at SABRES (27-23-6) 7:30 start
Derrico Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 Big game tonight. The Caps are up next and a loss here could be the beginning/middle of a multi-game slide. By the way, right now, Sabres have a 48.2% chance of making the playoffs. A win and they're at 53.6% and a loss in regulation brings the odds down to 39.6%. Just for fun, an ot/so loss brings the total down to 45.7%. Let's just get the win!
Stoner Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 Sabres 2-6-2 in last 10 home games against Blues. I know -- different teams. But sometimes a certain franchise just feels comfortable going into a certain building. Maybe it gets passed from one group of players to the next by the old timers in an organization.
CallawaySabres Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 Chalk the Toronto game up as good defensive scheme by Toronto and a little blip for the Sabes. You think Montreal fans are happy about losing 4-1 to the Oil last night? Gonna be a good crowd tonight as this one feels like a win.....
R_Dudley Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 Lindy nodded, pa rum pum pum pum The goose and lamb(timmy) kept time, pa rum pum pum pum I played my game for Him, pa rum pum pum pum I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, The playoff march continues tonight. Lets go Buf'a'lo.
BeachedNLA Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 The Conklin curse! Is officially dead, starting tonight. Go Sabres!!

The 'right' teams are losing and if these guys can play smart, the playoffs are definitely within reach. I was REALLY hoping Enroth would be back for this game in particular. Go Sabres!!! Or as my 82 year old mother says, 'how 'bout those Buffaloes!?'

BuffaloFansR_Crazy Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 Montador is back tonight and paired with Leopold. Hope he has a good game and increases his trade value (not that I would necessarily want to see him go).
wonderbread Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 lol Duds is the first poster to officially go off the deep end. I was thinking the same thing. He has officially lost it.
darksabre Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 I will be there in my Steve Shields goathead. Sabres will win tonight!
wonderbread Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 I will be there in my Steve Shields goathead. Sabres will win tonight! Excellent obscure jersey. Nice choice.
Eleven Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 I was thinking the same thing. He has officially lost it. But has he blown his cool? Has he flipped his lid?
wonderbread Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 But has he blown his cool? Has he flipped his lid? Not yet, and from knowing him personally i doubt this will happen. Mr Dudly is pretty grounded.
R_Dudley Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 lol Duds is the first poster to officially go off the deep end. I was thinking the same thing. He has officially lost it. No, No, No, not the first, I'm just joining some of my friends already there. Will not be the last either. I'm the middle child, my brother's from another mother.
darksabre Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 Excellent obscure jersey. Nice choice. And I'm not even going to be wearing the coolest one. My friend Dana will be wearing a jersey she's had for years. Legend goes that her father got it from a friend who was closing a bar. It's been difficult tracking down who's it is and what year it's from. Jersey crests back then were all over the place year to year. Best I can tell, it's from the 76-77 season, and being number 29, would make it Don Edwards' rookie jersey. Now, if true, that's sort of a big deal. The hard part has been matching the crest. The only times I've seen one like it are on a Rick Dudley 77-78 Topps trading card and a 78-79 OPC Bob Sauve Card. Since I know what the crests look like from both of those seasons, and from 75-76, the only conclusion I can come to is that it's from the mystery 76-77 year that I have yet to see evidence of. It's definitely authentic, but there are some questions that need answering. I sent an email to the Sabres to see if they had any historians on staff that could help me photo match it.
Tyrannustyrannus Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 I'll be listening on the WGR550 app for my phone as I drive in from Brooklyn. Hope the Sabres light up Conklin tonight. I still look at the Sabres trading Biron away and picking up Conklin as the end of that Cup run in 2007. Biron at the trade deadline?

I have a book "The History of the Buffalo Sabres." Chock full of photos. Edwards is wearing this crest in the chapter for the 76-77 season. Another goalie, Al Smith, is wearing the crest with the squiggly tail. There's a large color photo of Don Luce wearing it at home against the Caps. It appears the Caps' goalie is Smith. If it's Gary Smith, he played for the Caps only in the 77-78 season.
spndnchz Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Posted February 18, 2011 Montador is back tonight and paired with Leopold. Hope he has a good game and increases his trade value (not that I would necessarily want to see him go). Butler sitting. Byron or Kaleta?
Stoner Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 d4rk, it could also be a rookie Andreychuk. But no name on the back -- how is it authentic?
ThePebble19 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 Butler sitting. Byron or Kaleta? As much as I like Kaleta, I really hope it is Byron...they seem to have been playing better when he is in there.
shrader Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 I'll be listening on the WGR550 app for my phone as I drive in from Brooklyn. Hope the Sabres light up Conklin tonight. I still look at the Sabres trading Biron away and picking up Conklin as the end of that Cup run in 2007. That has to be one of the biggest head scratcher statements I've seen around here in a while. Conklin really killed us during that postseason. :blink:
thesportsbuff Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 That has to be one of the biggest head scratcher statements I've seen around here in a while. Conklin really killed us during that postseason. :blink: I think the guys all liked Marty and wanted to win a cup with Marty. There was really no reason to trade him away at the deadline if we weren't going to get someone notable back. We made cap room for ZUBRUS and the pick we got was either TJ BRENNAN or DREW SCHIESTEL... but you know what they say, hindsight is 20/20. :beer:
