GAME DISCUSSION THREAD GDT: Buffalo at New York Islanders 10-15-13 at 7:00 PM

[Campy]

Wow, I like angry Stafford.

Was thinking the same thing - evidently he needs to be knocked on his arse twice in rapid succession early on to have a strong game.

[Doohicksie]

I hope so

[lalalalalaFontaine]

Stafford making an appearance as a top-6 forward, as others have noted.

 

 

Not hard to do on this team!!

[...]

In last minute or two of the third, I think Stafford finished a shift in the offensive zone and was headed toward the bench and elbowed an Islander violently as he skated up behind Drew.

 

Money.

 

I can see this SO as a confidence builder.

[wjag]

Well now... SABRES WIN SABRES WIN SABRES WIN

[Brawndo]

Its A Win!!

[...]

Yay! They won a game!

[bunomatic]

Am I dreaming ?

[Pville29]

1st win and i bet the 2nd win will be as hard to get as the first.

[Eleven]

Whoa. THEY WON!!!!!

[lalalalalaFontaine]

Woot...Woot... 1-80-1...!!!

[ROC Sabres]

yay.... 1-5-1

[Claude_Verret]

Showed some heart tonight. Good job boys.

[LGR4GM]

BOOOOYAH!!!!!!

[WildCard]

Sweet jesus that felt good to watch, and against tavaras no less, that little ######

[Weave]

He comes the run to the 13th draft pick.

[Lorenzo Von Matterhorn]

Miller's audition in Garth Snow's backyard

[Doohicksie]

Yayyyyyyyu!

[LGR4GM]

Well I am not going to proclaim the season is saved and all that jazz but there was a team effort out there tonight and one again it was lead but amazing GT. Ryan Miller is elite, deal with it. Risto looked better and only had a couple of rookie gafs, loved his passes. Stafford played... well? Seems odd but it happened.

 

Hope Zemgus is okay and I am glad we won! Take every victory as it were our last.

[Campy]

Showed some heart tonight. Good job boys.

 

Yep. They have a fair amount of talent on this team - and a lot of it is (very) young. I'm not saying they'll win the Cup this summer, but I think they're not nearly as bad as some here would have you think...

[josie]

Yay! Victory beer time. Doesn't taste like tears! :beer:

[26CornerBlitz]

Duffer says Zemgus will be okay.

[dudacek]

Game thoughts:

Stafford plays a few more like that and we will be able to trade him. Looked like a leader out there.

Hope Girgs is alright. Larsson looked OK picking up his ice time.

Ott was a wolverine tonight, but he still turns the puck over too much to be on the first line.

And Porter also looked bad defensively at times, particularly the second goal.

Tallinder also had some shaky moments late.

Luckily Myers was there to cover up.

Ryan Miller is better than any player on Edmonton.

And the charge to eighth begins!

[biodork]

Finally!!

[Trettioåtta]

So far Miller leads the NHL in shots against. He currently has 32 more shots than second place Pavelec (185 to 153)
