Corp000085 Posted October 8, 2013 Report Posted October 8, 2013 NBC sports network. Driiiiiivve!! Let's go buffalo!
deluca67 Posted October 8, 2013 Report Posted October 8, 2013 This may be the Sabres best chance for a victory over the next couple of weeks. It would be no surprise if the Sabres ended the month of October with no victories over non-Florida based teams.
Stoner Posted October 8, 2013 Report Posted October 8, 2013 I was excited about gameday until I heard about NBCSN.
wjag Posted October 8, 2013 Report Posted October 8, 2013 I was excited about gameday until I heard about NBCSN. I might be one of the few on here that doesn't mind Doc. I don't get exercised by the studio staff either.
Stoner Posted October 8, 2013 Report Posted October 8, 2013 I might be one of the few on here that doesn't mind Doc. I don't get exercised by the studio staff either. It's the whole Doc-Eddie-Pierre dynamic. But… maybe they're not doing this game. Dave Shrader is OK.
K-9 Posted October 8, 2013 Report Posted October 8, 2013 "You don’t want groin stuff to pop up." If EVER there was a cry for help from Miller, this was it. Noureen must be flown in for the conjugal ASAP. Can't have this lingering for any length of time. GO SABRES!!!
bcsaberks Posted October 8, 2013 Report Posted October 8, 2013 It's the whole Doc-Eddie-Pierre dynamic. But… maybe they're not doing this game. Dave Shrader is OK. Exactly. Doc is tolerable. Pierre is nauseating. Mute button. Looking forward to Foligno's energy.
K-9 Posted October 8, 2013 Report Posted October 8, 2013 Please tell me Foligno immediately replaces Stafford on the top line. Please. GO SABRES!!!
CallawaySabres Posted October 8, 2013 Report Posted October 8, 2013 Please tell me Foligno immediately replaces Stafford on the top line. Please. GO SABRES!!! Until this so called NHL team actually learns how to pass (which I am pretty sure you need to do in this league), everything else is meaningless.....
bunomatic Posted October 8, 2013 Report Posted October 8, 2013 Gots to say it. Hats on backwards. Shoelaces double knotted. Yesterdays underwear :sick: . GO SABRES !
qwksndmonster Posted October 8, 2013 Report Posted October 8, 2013 Until this so called NHL team actually learns how to pass (which I am pretty sure you need to do in this league), everything else is meaningless..... I've seen some pretty dang good passing between Hodgson and Vanek. With Foligno opening up some space for them we could see a lot more goals.
darksabre Posted October 8, 2013 Report Posted October 8, 2013 I've seen some pretty dang good passing between Hodgson and Vanek. With Foligno opening up some space for them we could see a lot more goals. It will be good to have him back on the top line over the Big Cheesy.
nfreeman Posted October 8, 2013 Report Posted October 8, 2013 RR spoke, in his presser from yesterday that the OP linked to, about missing Foligno and Vanek and the "straight line" forechecking that each of them brings. I would not be surprised if Stafford starts getting healthy-scratched again once those 2 and Leino return.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 8, 2013 Author Report Posted October 8, 2013 @BNHarrington #Sabres just beginning morning skate. Miller and Hodgson both on the ice. @BNHarrington Early lines have Ott with Vanek and Hodgson and 82-63-21 reunited. Also 28-25-65 and 32-12-36. #Sabres @pham1717 Looks like Enroth in goal. Miller backs up
That Aud Smell Posted October 8, 2013 Report Posted October 8, 2013 So RR is taking his turn at trying to re-capture lightning in a bottle with Foligno-Ennis-Stafford. Good luck to him, them, and us. Oh, and Ott on the first line. Love the road captain, but yeesh.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 8, 2013 Author Report Posted October 8, 2013 McBain with Risto :unsure: @BuffaloSabres #Sabres D pairings this morning: Ehrhoff-Pysyk. Weber-Myers. McBain-Ristolainen.
qwksndmonster Posted October 8, 2013 Report Posted October 8, 2013 I like those pairings. Give Pysyk the big minutes with Ehrhoff to further his development. Give Myers and McBain both stay at home guys. And maybe Weber can teach Myers how to be a 16th as manly as his beard.
LTS Posted October 8, 2013 Report Posted October 8, 2013 The only saving grace is that I walk away from my TV during intermission so I will never hear that dolt Milbury speak. The guy belongs nowhere near a production studio. He's best left out on the back porch of some wayward retirement home left to his own musings. As far as announcing? It's national TV so I always expect the announcers to play to the populace and those story lines. It will be the same over the top drivel and superficial insight into anything that is really happening. Go Sabres. All hockey is good hockey.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 8, 2013 Author Report Posted October 8, 2013 Great to hear the news: @BuffaloSabres Marcus Foligno says he feels 100% and ready to go tonight. #Sabres #GameDay pic.twitter.com/UgOgsbHr2p

Love the road captain, but yeesh. I would've preferred Foligno with Hodgy and Vanek, and Ott with Ennis and Stafford, but at least we're now getting a bit of edge on each of the top 2 lines. Hodgson-Vanek-Stafford could've played the entire season together and not created a single sustained forecheck. Frankly, by the end of this game, I'm hoping to see the 2nd line morph into Porter-Ennis-Ott, with Stafford dropped to the 4th line. I like Griggy-Girgy-Flynn as the #3 line. McBain with Risto :unsure: @BuffaloSabres #Sabres D pairings this morning: Ehrhoff-Pysyk. Weber-Myers. McBain-Ristolainen. If McBain doesn't improve tonight I suspect we'll see Sulzer next game. Any word on Tallinder?

TrueBlueGED Posted October 8, 2013 Report Posted October 8, 2013 Unfortunately, RR likes Girgensons - Porter - Flynn. I doubt the other line lasts beyond the 1st. Porter is the new Hecht, minus the offensive ability (aka 34 year old Hecht rather than 28 year old Hecht). We've all accepted this by now, right?
