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).

I'll just stick with my items from last week. :)

Posted

Buy - Tpegs taking everyone out on his private yacht... AWESOME

Hold - Ennis, Roy, Stafford... lets see what this stupidly talented line can accomplish

Sell - BOYES, seriously the guy needs to show up tonight or send him out of here for whatever you can get. I don't buy the he needs time to gel thing with him, he seems somewhat lazy.

Posted

BUY- Road Games. Forget "HOME" status of the one Euro game. 5-0 on the road. 4 of them convincing ones.

 

SELL - Harry's Numbers. He needs someone to play PTI stat boy after every period. They are divorced from reality.

 

HOLD - Yo-Yo's recovery....take your time buddy!

Posted

BUY- Every skater for the Sabres getting a SOG except for Leopold and Gragnani.

 

BUY- Thomas Vanek's mean streak & hot streak.

 

BUY- Sabres getting a strong start to the season.

 

SELL- Hockey in Florida. The arena was empty.

 

BUY- A Pominville jersey? :unsure:

Posted

Buy -- McCormick. There was a substantial improvement in Leino's line tonight. It can't be a coincidence.

 

Buy -- Miller! Miller! Miller!

 

Hold -- Ennis. I'm now leaning towards him being the healthy scratch when Yo-yo comes back.

 

Sell -- the rest of the Sabres' division. Le stink.

I hadn't heard that. Good time to be a Sabre and a Sabres fan.

Posted

Buy- Pommer, Vanek, and Miller's paychecks for the first 2 weeks, performance in-line or above compensation levels

 

Buy- Ruff's line tinkering:

  • Leave the The Quebecois Captain, the Austrian All-Star, and the Lukerookie alone, best line in the NHL through 2 weeks. (1.7 PPG - 1.0 PPG - 1.5 PPG)
  • Better stuff from leino-boyes with McCormick Playing like a $2M forward.
  • Ennis appeared improved, maybe right at the cusp.
  • The Gerbe-Goose-Kaleta line was everything it was supposed to be and more.

 

Hold- The Power Play: still too much back checking required. Need better control on the points. Puck should only get cleared by the opponents from below the circles, after a SOG.

 

Sell- Any reason other than injury to change the lineup prior to the Philly game on November 2.

Posted

Buy -- No Panic Vanek :w00t:

 

Hold -- Powerplay... looking better, but still can't get and nor can I remember a Sabres game where they gave up 2 SHGs, had a 3rd try ring the post and a fourth quality try that Miller did stop (on Staal) :yawn:

 

Sell -- Ennis.. Not seeing the magic.. :(

Posted

Buy - VANEK-ADAM-Pommers line

 

Hold - Special Teams. The PK is doing alright, the PP, not so much. Need to switch something up here.

 

Hold - Ennis - Roy- Stafford...this line needs to be paged to show up...

Posted

BUY...Gerbe. Unless his effort goes down hill at some point, he is going to have a 10 year career in the NHL despite his size.

 

HOLD...Gragnani was much better last night than the previous game.

 

SELL...The Florida franchise. What a joke.

Posted

BUY- Vanek close range slapper. Dangerous.

BUY- Anyone fighting Gaustad leaving the ice for stitches.

HOLD- The Power Play. Needs to gel.

SELL- iO Center Ice Package. Florida broadcast was THE lamest I've ever heard. Amateurish even.

Posted

Additional Buy- #4 in the NHL in Goals For per game, #3 in Goals Against per game.

Pretty impressive.

 

BUY- Anyone fighting Gaustad leaving the ice for stitches.

For that matter:

 

Buy -- Gaustad.

 

Sell - NHL Center Ice. NHL GameCenter Live is way better.

Why? (Not arguing, just curious. With CI via DirecTV, I get every NHL game in HD, with home and away feeds, except for those involving 2 Canadian teams -- and even some of those are in HD via NHL network. What else would I want?)

Direct TV CI isn't as bad. I should have said NHL CI on Cablevision. They offer no HD games and the picture quality on most games is barely SD. With GameCenter Live, the picture is great and I can watch any game that has been played this year at any time, no recording necessary.

Same with T-W. Who in their right mind after viewing the free trial, would cough up money to watch that crap picture...except for the one HD broadcast they do per night.

Posted

Buy - Keeping the lines the same as the Florida game. Consistency brings chemistry and better play.

 

Hold - McC being the Hartnell for the Leino line. Seemed to have more of a spark last night but lets see if it continues.

 

Hold - Lindy holding up his end of the goalie rotation. So far so good...

 

Sell - Not being able to watch the game last night cause I'm in the middle of nowhere. Especially on a great effort like that one. :(

BUY - Pominville going to net for Leino. Finally! Finally! Finally! That is Leino's bread and butter play. Leino works the puck to the high percentage area, and somebody charges the backdoor.

There wasn't a better way to phrase that one? :bag:

Is it HD? i.e. could I hook up my laptop to my TV via HDMI and get a true HD picture to watch a game? I ask because I've been thinking about getting it but this is a key factor for me.

It also used to be Pommer's, when he was a 30-goal guy -- ie finding the soft spot near the doorstep, getting open for a pass and burying the one-time snap shot with accuracy (which is his strength, IMHO). If he and Leino can click like that regularly -- I'll be singing a different tune on Pommer.

Pominville uses the tradesman's entrance?

Very nice.

TBN's Vogl asked Leino after the game if he saw Pominville coming on that play. Leino's response "Do you think I meant to shoot it wide?"

 

Classic.

Buy - Vanek's vision... I always thought he was an Andreychuk type, but my God what vision he has on the ice. He setup two or three great scoring opportunities in the first period alone last night. Roy's injury last year was the best thing that ever happened to him.
