waldo Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 I'm guessing he plays center in the same summer league that Gerbe plays in. For the record, yes ,his natural position is rw but he has played center on occassion...and and been relatively effective as a center...

wjag Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 Quite pleased to have snagged him for my fantasy team -- 2G, 2A, 2PP pts last night. I have him too in another league... Quite a nice surprise...
X. Benedict Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 Thornton, Richards, Getzlaf, Staal, etc... All skilled centers. All willing to throw a body check. Just my preference, I don't understand players who aren't willing to throw an occasional body check. I'm not saying they don't have a place on the team, but when your roster is filled with such players(which the Sabres is), they will struggle come playoff time against teams that forecheck hard and battle along the boards for loose pucks. Adam is credited with 4 hits in 10 games. Your okay with it. I'm not. I don't want him off the team. I don't want to turn him into a 4th line grinder. I'll move on. This isn't an argument I'm trying to win or best you at.....Getzlaf is a good one. There isn't a more physical first line center that I can think of. He might be one of the only first line centers that dumps and hits on his chases these days. The centers I like aren't necessarily ones that hit - I appreciate wings can hit. <aside> I guess it is how I size up hits altogether. Statistically, it is about the most imprecise measure in the game. All hits aren't equal. I've always been suspicious about a play when a player goes into a corner first (which takes some balls) - digs out the puck - and then absorbs a hit to move the puck to the front of the net successfully. I would call that a physical play. And then the player who hit him gets credited with a hit. Even though he got beat in the corner. Oh well...that's hockey.

Matty Ice Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 Kaleta suspended 4 games for head butting.

Samson's Flow Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 Kaleta suspended 4 games for head butting. Nothing in that video screams "4 game suspension"... Maybe the new Shannyhands is not as great as we thought. :unsure:
darksabre Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 I've been waiting for Shannyland to turn into the Heart of Darkness. At the Panthers game on Saturday I think Roy got boarded pretty good and nothing ever came of it except the in game penalty. Pominville got dropped in another game recently. Yet Kaleta "headbutts" a guy and gets suspended. I have a feeling it's open season on Sabres players and unless a hit results in an injury that causes a player to miss games, we won't see anything out of Shanny. We're going to get shafted and might as well learn to expect it.

darksabre Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 Why though? I agree with all that you have presented...but WHY US?! The Buffalo Effect. You know the one.
dEnnis the Menace Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 The Buffalo Effect. You know the one. oh that wickity wack conspiracy theory? might actually hold true in this case :unsure: In all seriousness though, I did notice a few of our players were boarded, or roughed up pretty good and nothing came of it. Taking notice of the headbutt, but nothing else in that game is an insult. I'm not saying those penalties being called, or those guys being suspended are going to change the outcomes of the games, just that the punishment should be handed out to everyone.
apuszczalowski Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 BRING UP KASSIAN WE NEED HIM TO KILL KILL KILL Shanahan would probably suspend him just for stepping on the ice......... we go from one guy who handed out suspensions only when he felt like it, to a guy who will throw them out for breathing too hard on another player

It's not Shanahan's fault that Campbell essentially ignored this from Kaleta in the past.

It's not Shanahan's fault that Campbell essentially ignored this from Kaleta in the past. That's all well and good. I don't disagree that Kaleta has a history or should be suspended. But how many hits are our guys going to take before someone else gets suspended? How long do we wait to be on the other side of the coin?

To be honest, I haven't seen most of the one's people are talking about here. The one's that do stick out in my mind though are a couple of boardings that Pominville was on the receiving end of. Without having seen them in a while, I can't be too sure, but they seemed like they were just short of what would draw a suspension.
Taro T Posted November 4, 2011 Report Posted November 4, 2011 On top of it, people are romanticizing Briere. Sure, he'd go into the corners once in a while, but his trademark play was coming from the "back door" to score. And he liked to spear a guy in the nuts once in a while. Anyone holding Briere up as an example of a physical center is delusional. Actually, for me, his trademark play was being beyond horrible in his own end all game long and then just willing a goal when the team needed it in the last 5 minutes of the game. (Regardless of whether he'd scored 2 earlier in the game or set up 2 against the Sabres earlier in the game.) There is no other player in the game today that I want on the ice in the last 5 minutes more than Briere if my team needs a goal.

The player I want on the ice in the last five minutes when my team needs a goal is Ryan Miller, in the opposing teams net. :lol: Now I will just sit back and listen for the sound of all the heads exploding across Western New York.
