Goose is playing really well this year. Has remained healthy and is second in the NHL in faceoff %. The Preds problem this year is goaltending as Pekka Rinne has been out injured and the backups stink. Preds games are a lot of fun BTW.

 

My brother had tickets for the game 2 wks ago; looks like we will be going to a few games once we settle in.

 

I hear they have some weird chants.

Nice seeing the boys get bullied tonight.

 

Why have John Scott in the lineup, if you're gonna allow people to run your goalie and your best young player ?

 

Happy New Year everyone.

That call on Scott should get a ref fined. A game misconduct, seriously? That is as eggregious a call as I have EVER seen. I NEVER comment on penalties, but that was beyond the pale.

I hate to say it, and I'm sure it's an unpopular opinion, but I think I'm done with Foligno if he doesn't turn it around this season on a consistent basis. I LOVED what he brought to the team initially, but he's been MIA all of this season and pretty much all of last (shortened, granted) season. Guy like him shouldn't be coughing up the puck so easily and it seems like most of the physicality he's been bringing has been a bit bone-headed and momentum killing. I've seen him peel away from the play just to lay a hit on a random guy when the Sabres have been in control of the puck too many times this season. We know he can play better than that! All last season, I kept thinking Foligno and Myers were playing like they were stoned out of their minds. They just looked lost. Fortunately, Myers has stepped up his game considerably under Nolan. I'd love to see Foligno get with the program sometime soon.

 

And yes, I'm well aware the Sabres have 99 problems but Foligno is one. I guess I just expect more from him since he seems like the kind of player who would thrive under Ted Nolan.

He has had a really good year. His value (as we Sabres fans know) doesn't always show up on the stats sheet.

 

I think he would've played well for Nolan; sure miss the face-off wins..

Not me; he's a really young guy; I still think he would benefit from some AHL time.

 

I would like to see the Sabres get his brother, and have both of the Foligno's in a Sabres uniform.

 

You can't teach big, and the Sabres need big; he'll turn it around.

 

I definitely agree that he needs to be more consistent.

 

Let's Go Buffalo! :beer: Wow, that was way to many words, need another one. :beer:

"Really well." He's still unable to produce any sort of offense. Vastly overpaid for a face off specialist who can both the opponent once in a while.

 

 

Worth noting that Nolan is still winless on the road.

 

Adam and McNabb?

 

@BNHarrington

Nolan says two #Amerks coming tomorrow Won't say #Sabres

 

Really don't understand the point of not saying. Seems like one of those Greg Popovich "I want attention" moments.

He didn't sound 100% sure they could get here in time, maybe he just wasn't going to tell the BFLO media something and have it fall through, knowing full well they would trash him with 'Well, you said this.... you said that....' Hell, Hamilton and Schopp were already stooping low enough to mock him for apparently now knowing enough about the opposing teams.

 

If I were a coach knowing the BFLO media, I'd probably hesitate to say anything substantial.
