deluca67 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 I'm just surprised that there hasn't been any love for Weber. He played an amazing game and was in the middle of every physical altercation. He got the better of every one and I think was a big factor in tonights win. Could it be that he is falling into that solid every night category and fans expect this kind of play every night?
Assquatch Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Really? Word for word - except I added the "so suck it" (and what was in parenthesis)
ThePebble19 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Word for word - except I added the "so suck it" (and what was in parenthesis) Holy cow.
EZBills7 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 In some cases that maybe correct, I don't think in all. The Flyers know what they get in Boucher and I think his style of goaltending helps their transition game. Is he in control of every rebound, of course not, if he could do that he would be a wealthier man. I do think that on some of the bigger rebounds that happened to go right to a Flyers player that those where intentional. Fair enough. I think some were intentional too, but the contrast between him and Miller was striking tonight. For the most part Ryan did a good job of not giving up rebounds or putting them off to the side.

He played an amazing game and was in the middle of every physical altercation. He got the better of every one and I think was a big factor in tonights win. I would agree with your statements. It seems like having a "soft" d are days of yesteryear. Weber, Butler, MAG, Myers all brought it tonight. Leopold was far better this game and Montador was invisible, which is far better than having 8000 negative plays per game, like he has been having.
SwampD Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Some of us were loving up Weber earlier in the thread. Good. While it does feel like Myers became a man tonight, Weber's game really gets me all tingly in the naughty bits.
Punch Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Could it be that he is falling into that solid every night category and fans expect this kind of play every night? Absolutely the case--- not that he's Lidstrom or anything, but the expectation for nightly quality performance (particularly physically) is a given, as far as I'm concerned. He's a tough dude, and he makes smart plays with the puck.

He played an amazing game and was in the middle of every physical altercation. He got the better of every one and I think was a big factor in tonights win. I've probably been the biggest Weber supporter all year long going back to when everyone wanted him off the team after he had a bad giveaway that cost us a game against Boston. The guy is outstanding. This is the defenseman we've been waiting for.
Robviously Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Good. While it does feels like Myers became a man tonight, Weber's game really gets me all tingly in the naughty bits. He's a jerk out there and that's what we want. No hesitation to put a glove in someone's face after the whistle and tough enough to back it up.

Montador wasn't so invisible to start the game, if I remember correctly. I can't believe how poorly he's played thus far in this series. He really has sucked, bad. Hope he can turn it around going forward, but I don't think he has it in him.
Derrico Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 PLEASE in the name of all that's holy to hockey tell me WHY oh WHY does this team employ this defensive B.S. in the last half of the final period???? WHY????? I've began calling it the LINDY LIMBO!!!!! Call it whatever you want, it wins them hockey games.

He got the better of every one and I think was a big factor in tonights win. Weber is reminding me more and more of Brooks Orpik. He is going to be real difficult to play against next season. he's coming into his own, just like Myers.
Assquatch Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 I love Roby but he just said "[the Sabres] know - Philadelphia had a big game tonight, and [the Sabres] got their 2 points..."
rickshaw Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Miller was huge tonight. Nice! Love to see Myers getting tough out there. It wasn't a pretty third (that's all I saw) but we got the win and that is all that matters. Nice to see us not backing down against the Flyers. Best of 3. I like our chances!

Amazingly, I just said the SAME THING to my son ten minutes ago in our post game long distance call! Very insightful!
rickshaw Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Loved the play by Ennis in the 3rd but that HAS to be roofed. That was goal of the year material if he just got it up.

I have a friend who grew up next door to me as a kid, we played hockey together, and of course...he is a Flyer fan. On Facebook after the game, he posts "Hate to say it, but that's why people don't like the NHL. If you don't make any attempt to posses the puck for 16 minutes, you shouldn't win. Sabers might get lucky enough to win a few like that, but they sure as hell can't win the cup. Get em next time boys." My response was simple. If you have the puck for 16 straight minutes, and can't score, you don't deserve to win.
Punch Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Loved the play by Ennis in the 3rd but that HAS to be roofed. That was goal of the year material if he just got it up. If Niedermayer had difficulty getting it up, I'd understand, due to his age. But Ennis is a young dude, and shouldn't need coaxing.
LabattBlue Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Just got home from the game... 1st 15 minutes...GREAT 2nd period...SLEEPER 3rd period...5 minutes of PP time that was as bad as it gets(they deserved the booing and then some), followed by 15 minutes of chasing the Flyers around. This was not a case of "kitty bar the door". It was horrible play. Miller bailed them out. Still waiting for their best game. :rolleyes: PS The crowd excitement level was very good. GO SABRES!!!!!
LGR4GM Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 "I'm not going to pay too much attention to anybody who's talking about my game right now, I really don't care It's the furthest thing from my mind (except I'm going to talk about it with rage-eyes) I want to contribute and help the guys I have to do certain things, I have to talk on the ice, I have to help them with the puck in the zone I don't need to listen to all the B.S. that's out there from people who don't know how to play goalie I really don't give a EXPLETIVE so suck it" wait did he really say suck it cuz i missed that part but I LOVE YOU RYAN!
SDS Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Ennis must be Swedish because there's no Finnish in him!
Assquatch Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 wait did he really say suck it cuz i missed that part but I LOVE YOU RYAN! No I added that I thought it would be obvious but I'll edit it since people seem unsure.
dEnnis the Menace Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Glad to get the win. I would love to see us win a game with more offense instead of relying SOLELY on defense/goaltending, but beggers can't be choosers...baby steps :thumbsup:
wnyguy Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Loved the play by Ennis in the 3rd but that HAS to be roofed. That was goal of the year material if he just got it up. Looked like the puck was at the toe of his stick and he couldn't generate much elevation. 4 inches higher and that was in.
