Tinman just fought Marchand!!!! Very impressed. No punches but he stood up and slammed him to the ice!

 

If he had broken Marchand's nose I'd forgive him for stealing the Sabres' money and the damage he did to my eyes watching him play the last few years.

Just watched the Mario Lemieux statue dedication in the Burgh. Any chance Pegs commissions one to honor Bert? I wouldn't mind seeing that.

 

GO SABRES!!!

Am I losing my mind or do I remember seeing something up on pedestals in the lobby of the arena?

Wow... Tyler Bozak had a wide open net and should have tied it with 4 minutes to go, but the shot was blocked at the last second by... Tim Connolly.

 

Forever a Sabre.

Lightning G Mathieu Garon out for 3-4 weeks--- looks like their playoff chances are in the hands of Dwayne Roloson:

I wonder if it's too late for Tampa to put in a claim on Turco?

Yup, too late. Turco is on Boston as of this afternoon

 

Any team besides Boston that would have picked him up could not play him anyway. I don't believe Turco can play in the playoffs for Boston either, just the regular season.

And no hits and no shots on goal. Returning to the mean?

Who are we talking about here, Kassian or Hodgson?

You are correct, I remember hearing them say he is ineligible for the playoffs, he's gone once Rask is back

OK guys, there's a movement to can Cherry & MacLean on HNIC. It might work...Cherry's 78 years old...

Lots of hate for Briere in Philly these days...only 6 pts in 20 games. Here he tries to pump Bryzgalov's tires but he misfires.

Briere's going through a divorce, complete with reports of cheating and pornstars and the Philly fans are on him like white on rice: http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/08/briere-says-he-was-only-trying-to-pump-bryzgalovs-tires/

 

Also, Kassian with 6:52 of ice time last night vs. Winnipeg.

To be honest most reports I read sounds like Pronger is the only thing keeping that dressing room together. Good article though, thnx.

 

As for Kass, wow I've seen Enforcers get more ice time.

And yet he has still provided more to the score sheet/offence in Vancover then Hodgson has in Buffalo

Yeah, I saw that. Demoted back to the fourth line and pretty much benched for the entire third period. And as expected, some Canuck fans are ready to cut the guy and pronounce the trade a failure. Ridiculous.

Didn't see the game, but was he responsible for a goal or something? I saw he was a -1 with such little ice time, and seeing as he was benched in the 3rd, I can definitely see something like that. As I said in the original trade thread, I read that Vigneault has no longer of a leash for young players than Ruff does, so it wouldn't surprise me if an awful giveaway or something led to a benching.

I didn't see the game either. But the low ice time caught my eye so I perused a couple Canuck forums. Some say he was responsible for Wellwood's goal and that's why he was benched. Others are saying he has been invisible the last two games. Still others are citing his 0 hit totals. I think it's funny that many are also saying that the Canucks' coach has as little patience with young players that make mistakes at critical times in their D zone. Sound familiar?

 

Fan expectation is absolutely irrational most of the time.

Why not? People here are already grumbling about Hodgson "not showing anything" or being invisible.

Amen, brother.

I know Cody H hasn't gotten a point yet but I wouldn't panic. Yes it would help in the losses but they are 4 and 2 and the kid was all over North America. He has essentially been on the road for 10 of his last 11 games and had to fly to Buf from the Weat Coast for his physical. This, after the Canucks went East and worked their way back west. Be patient. He'll be much more of a player for us than Kassian.

 

Kassian has points but he's a minus player and his pts were in a loss. He has no hits in his last two games. He was pushed back to the 4 th line and was benched in a non conf game in the 3rd last night.

 

Give Hodgson support if you are going to the games. He'll be fine. I know we need him now so I understand the frustration.

How so? His pts we're in a loss where he was still a minus player! The Sabres are 4-2 with CH while Van is.500

 

Kassian is effective if he's banging. Zero hits in 2 games is not right. CH was a plus player in the 2 SO wins in Cali he just didn't register a point.
