X. Benedict Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Posted October 9, 2011 BUY - #72 with his reach and hands posting up in the slot. What's that kids name? Luke Adamreychuk? SELL - Whoever let Kopitar get behind the D. How's that happen? West coast games must end too late to know who Kopitar is. He is a member of the Marcels Anonymous- it's a twelve stepper for nameless superstars. HOlD- Didn't see you Ville.
waldo Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 HOLD- On Lieno centering that line. BUY- Erhoff pair on the ice with "Adam" line. It enhances their lethality and ability to enter the zone cleanly. HOLD-Sabres ability to handle an above average forecheck and defense the middle(Philly and Boston will tell us a lot) HOLD- Sabres PP when denied the zone and there is pressure on the puck in the o zone . BUY-Regehr's physical play and the speed of his outlet pass decision making when under pressure.
papazoid Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 BUY THESE LINE COMBO's: Vanek Adam Pominville (Adam is your #1 center for $6 mil less than trading for Spezza). Ennis Leino Stafford (clicked in preseason) Hecht Roy Boyes (all three are trade bait) Gerbe Goose Kaleta (this group really clicked in preseason) McCormick (keeper, next man up) Ellis (should be captain in Rochester)
gregkash Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 BUY: Our First line. SELL: Brad Boyes HOLD: Nathan Gerbe
5th line wingnutt Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 BUY - #72 with his reach and hands posting up in the slot. What's that kids name? Luke Adamreychuk? :thumbsup: :clapping: LOL
nfreeman Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 Buy -- Pommer. Gotta give it to him -- very strong start as the C. Buy -- Vanek. Great chemistry with Adam and Pommer so far. Great maturity. Good work on the PK. Buy -- Ennis and Gerbe. The smurfs have picked up where they left off last year. Ennis is a force and Gerbe is relentless. How about that play in the opener when one of the Ducks (I think it was Ryan or Perry) took a shot at Miller even though he knew that it wouldn't count because of a delayed penalty and Gerbe gave him an immediate slash and a shove? Outstanding. Buy -- Gragnani staying in the lineup. Very poised and a strong addition to the PP. And as long as he plays this well, the Sabres are going to want to play him enough times to keep his rights. Buy -- Regehr. An experienced, physical defenseman who plays all the tough minutes. He's the best DR trade acquisition in quite some time. Buy -- Miller. Very strong play although not tested yet in crunch time. Sell -- Boyes. Sloppy with the puck and generally ineffective. Sell -- forward line combinations other than Adam-Pommer-Vanek. I think we're in for more tinkering. I'd like to see Leino with Ennis and Stafford, and Roy with Gerbe and Boyes (or Roy-Gerbe-Hecht when Hecht returns). Hold -- Myers. He's been good but not great IMHO. With great power comes great responsibility. Hold -- Roy. He looks fast, so I think the leg has recovered, but he hasn't found the groove yet.
LastPommerFan Posted October 10, 2011 Report Posted October 10, 2011 Buying- A Pominville Jersey with the "C". Seriously, My jersey is a slug (Sadly, no slug appreciation day in southwest Ohio) and my 3-year-old graciously made a construction paper Captain's C. It's sweet, but it is an abomination. As the self appointed captain of The Captain's fan club, I should have proper threads.
Samson's Flow Posted October 10, 2011 Report Posted October 10, 2011 Buy -- Pommer. Gotta give it to him -- very strong start as the C. Buy -- Vanek. Great chemistry with Adam and Pommer so far.

With great power comes great responsibility. Hold -- Roy. He looks fast, so I think the leg has recovered, but he hasn't found the groove yet. Sounds pretty spot on. Buy -- Vanek without Roy. For years I thought Roy's puckhandling and shoot first tendency overshadowed Vanek. Now with better complimentary players in Pommers and Adam, Vanek seems to be shining. Hold -- Third line D of MAG and Sekera, great start to the season but do they have the consistency to play out of the inevitable slump? Sell -- RW pairs for the Leino and Roy lines. They just don't seem to be clicking. Maybe give it some time?
spndnchz Posted October 10, 2011 Report Posted October 10, 2011 Buy- Shooting the puck at the net. Sounded so simple last year but no one wanted to do it. The last two games, one guy shoots, the others go to the net, all but one goal has been scored below the faceoff dot.
Calvin Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 BUY - the team unity, they look like they're really playing for each other HOLD - expecting more from Leino SELL - still having some issues clearing the puck out of the zone convincingly
X. Benedict Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Posted October 11, 2011 BUY- The Locker room architect - creating a space that reflects the culture you want to establish is genius.
Sabres Fan in NS Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 BUY- The Locker room architect - creating a space that reflects the culture you want to establish is genius. :thumbsup: :clapping:
nfreeman Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Sell -- waiting a whole GD week for another Sabres game, especially after how good they looked the first weekend. Sell -- that "Miller is overpaid" thread. I hate myself for reading it. Buy -- the Sabres coming out sky-high on Friday night.
korab rules Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Buy- Shooting the puck at the net. Sounded so simple last year but no one wanted to do it. The last two games, one guy shoots, the others go to the net, all but one goal has been scored below the faceoff dot. Are you saying those guys in the 300s who yell "shoot!" constantly during every power play are right?
LabattBlue Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 BUY...The play of Adam continues to be a surprise. Not tentative like last year & his skating seems to be better. HOLD...The best defense in hockey(or one of the best)? I'll continue to take a wait and see approach on this one. SELL SELL SELL SELL...Boyes. Just not impressed. Floats a lot. Except for a few tap-in wide open net goals last year, he hasn't done squat. Another deadline acquisition that just hasn't worked out(Moore & Torres).

Another deadline acquisition that just hasn't worked out(Moore & Torres). :bag: You had to throw that boyes comment in there - give him time to gel with his linemates back at RW. He was awful at C. I agree with you for now but holding out hope he can find his scoring touch with leino/ennis Sell - getting a taste of hockey and then having to wait till Friday for the next game

I agree with you for now but holding out hope he can find his scoring touch with leino/ennis Sell - getting a taste of hockey and then having to wait till Friday for the next game My point is that he wasn't even that impressive at wing in the regular season after being acquired.
Samson's Flow Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 My point is that he wasn't even that impressive at wing in the regular season after being acquired. I agree with you, but can't I hold out hope for a resurgence this year after becoming more comfortable in the system?
LabattBlue Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 I agree with you, but can't I hold out hope for a resurgence? Sure you can. I on the other hand, am just lining up some early season candidates for 11-12 whipping boy! :D
korab rules Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 BUY - People in the 300's that yell "shoot!" WGR did a really funny rip on that guy - based on the "real men of genius" beer commercials. Funniest thing I have ever heard GR do - heard it once, but never again.

nfreeman Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Buy -- Ehrhoff heeding the dudes yelling "shoot" and blasting away from the point on the power play.

korab rules Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Buy -- Ehrhoff heeding the dudes yelling "shoot" and blasting away from the point on the power play. I will buy this as well.
