GDT: SEASON OPENER, Buffalo Sabres at Detroit Red Wings, 10/2/2013, 8:00pm

[Iron Crotch]

I like our kids... I just don't like too many of our veterans. ;)

[G-Daddy]

Stupid Stafford

[bunomatic]

Oh Shite ! A detroit PP

[North Buffalo]

Dumb hit from behind by Stafford, gone from quitting on play to making a bonehead one. I say waive him, bring up Larson.

[darksabre]

I hate Drew Stafford. I can't watch because I'm at work but I just know he's sucking all over the ice.

[hockeyhound]

Stafford contributing as usual.

[Campy]

"Weber's a nasty piece of business"

 

I believe that's broadcaster-speak for "Please don't turn the channel."

[Peppy22]

I hate those calls. That was a good hit but he turns in the last second... Stuff like that shouldnt be a penalty.

[BuffaloBorn]

Well, THIS sucks

[Wyldnwoody44]

Haha I don't care if there are growing pains with the young guns, it's the players that should know better that get me

 

And Stafford adds a penalty to his lackluster play

 

PS, Stafford will be my whipping boy until he is gone or makes a 180 in his game

[CallawaySabres]

This suck seems so familiar.....I wonder if I am watching by 3rd period

[Doohicksie]

I don't know if Stafford can get much worse overall.... He threw a small check in the 1st minute and basically bounced backwards off his man... So far we look like I thought we would.

 

Sure he can... he can take a penalty!

And you could see the wing look and see Staff coming then turn to the boards.

[K-9]

Alright, good PK there. Just need to settle down a little.

 

GO SABRES!!!

[Guest]

Is the ice tilted?

[LGR4GM]

here is the good news, Mikhail Grigorenko looks good.

[Iron Crotch]

Girgs has looked good in what limited ice time he has seen. And, I agree with others that Grigo seems to be skating better.

 

...but, Myers, Stafford and company still appear to suck. :P

[darksabre]

here is the good news, Mikhail Grigorenko looks good.

 

He probably saw how bad Stafford is and was like "well ###### I can be better than that..."

[BuffaloBorn]

i'm really glad Grigs is playing well. He said in a interview he's trying to get 50pts

 

he's had a few good chance

I like the fact he said that out loud. Making himself accountable

[wjag]

Shots 8-6, not bad, problem is two of theirs counted.

[Wyldnwoody44]

I know the shots are pretty close but that time of possession number cannot look so hott.

 

We gotta test Howard a little bit, maybe a new plan in the 2nd

[Member Berries]

Announcer's not gonna let the whole 'Texas-Myers' knee slapper go is he.... :yawn:

[LGR4GM]

Okay Period 1:

The good - Risto minus the 1 play has looked okay. Grigorenko is actually looking good. Girgensons is looking good. Hodgson is much better defensively.

 

The bad - Myers has been okay and he needs to be stellar. PP it looks boring and crappy

 

The ugly - Stafford is a 3rd line player and can not play with Vanek and Hodgson. I don't know how any coach with half a brain and a set of balls hasnt demoted that turd.

 

He probably saw how bad Stafford is and was like "well ###### I can be better than that..."

LMAO omg I actually busted out laughing... I said it in my mind in that Grig russian voice LMAO!

[wjag]

Vanek, Stafford, Hodgson are -6
