X. Benedict Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Tyler Ennis is going to have a big game tonight........... :beer: Actually he should....Caps are going to ice a stay at home defense tonight. Outside speed and puck pressure should help them get a lot of zone time.
LGR4GM Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Tyler Ennis is going to have a big game tonight........... :beer: YAY! unless he gets replaced by nieds again which clearly worked out well for us last time...
dEnnis the Menace Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 BY THE PADDLE OF ETHRON, WE WILL TAKE THIS GAME!
LGR4GM Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 "When your goalies hurt and it dont look good, who ya gonna call? Jhonas Enroth! I aint afraid of no puck" (humm it to ghostbusters theme song)
PromoTheRobot Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 I'm calling it now....Sabres sweep the weekend!! PTR
ParkMeadow Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Can't count on the Isles - don't even look at the out of town scoreboard till much later. Hope the D remembers how they did it on Wed. Sabres need points this weekend - sweep would be awesome, but realistically MUST AT LEAST BEAT the 'CANES!!! (I know this has all been said already, but makes me feel better posting it myself!)
PromoTheRobot Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 If the Sabres and Rangers sweep this weekend and if the Canes lose to NYI it's all over for them and the Loafs too. PTR
ParkMeadow Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 If the Sabres and Rangers sweep this weekend and if the Canes lose to NYI it's all over for them and the Loafs too. PTR You and I are old enough, and have been fans long enough, not to get our hopes too high for the Sabres to do what we pray they will! So, I'm setting my sites on a split and will be ECSTATIC with a sweep. Just so long as they don't GET swept!
wjag Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 I still think of the two games this weekend, this is the better shot at winning. Washington has been giving up third period goals and leads only to come back and win in the OT/SO. They are banged up defensively. Both teams are rested (as much as you can be this time of year). If the Sabres win tonight a little pressure is lifted off tomorrow's game. I don't think Carolina will have trouble with Isles like the Sabres did. Carolina has won three so far against the Isles. I'll be doing headstands if I'm wrong. As to tomorrow's game, I really think Carolina has the cards stacked in their favor. It will take an herculean effort by the defense to keep the Staal line in check. All we can hope for is that the Isles put a serious forecheck on the Canes and send them into tomorrow's game banged-up and bruised. Buffalo can't afford another player lost to injury..

IMO. 3 pts Excellent. 4 pts I'll be a kid on Christmas
Fifty Mission Cap Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Bill McCreary's last career NHL game is tonight in DC.
wjag Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Bill McCreary's last career NHL game is tonight in DC. Am I alone in thinking, thank god and damn, why us?
X. Benedict Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Bill McCreary's last career NHL game is tonight in DC. He's good. I hope that doesn't mean Devorsky tomorrow. Can't stand Devorsky, esp. in a big game.
wjag Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 He's good. I hope that doesn't mean Devorsky tomorrow. Can't stand Devorsky, esp. in a big game. My perception of McCreary is he won't call a penalty unless there is an all out mugging. Am I off base on this?
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 My perception of McCreary is he won't call a penalty unless there is an all out mugging. Am I off base on this? That's why he's good.
wjag Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 That's why he's good. I disagree. I think it encourages other teams to take liberties with the Sabres smaller guys.
LGR4GM Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 I disagree. I think it encourages other teams to take liberties with the Sabres smaller guys. I think there is a prison sex joke there but I am to tired. The Sabres smaller guys will always have to contend with the fact they can be physically forced off a puck and as far as Liberties go, I think this team has shown that its willing to back up one another in a scrum. Lets hope the little guys get it done tomnight
X. Benedict Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 My perception of McCreary is he won't call a penalty unless there is an all out mugging. Am I off base on this? I think he is pretty ego-less and fair. He'll make the clear call, and consults his linesmen as well. You don't get much diving in his games. (Reimer diving on Tues. never gets called if McCreary is on the ice). He doesn't seem to feel he needs to even calls out, like Koharski used to. He's certainly much less likely to call things behind the play. IMO. When Devorski refs there is usually a lot more diving, and stick holding by players trying to draw calls. He probably calls more stick minors than anyone I've ever seen at any level.
LGR4GM Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 does everyone realize that in about 27 hours from now we could know if we were in or out for this years playoffs... Scary and exciting. Lets go Buffalo. I need jeanerett to bark out "DO YOU BELIEVE"
Lanny Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 I really wasn't including Miller in this so I can see the argument there but we only have Leopold out on D and they have Erskine, Green, Wideman and Poti out. And as an added bonus, Nylander is out at Center too. Peter Bondra & Olaf Kolzig also out for tonight.
LET"S GO BUFFALO Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Wow! Not sure I've ever read those words formed into a sentence in that order. ;) Hahaha purely for the sports on television i get to watch rangers islanders devils and sabres games plus i get 5 football games on every sunday...other then that Albany sucks
Freeezo Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Hey Jhonas, if Miller is top 3 world-where are you?
deluca67 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Peter Bondra & Olaf Kolzig also out for tonight. Any word on Bobby Carpenter?
Stoner Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Hey Jhonas, if Miller is top 3 world-where are you? 4th. Eva Enroth.
