GAME DISCUSSION THREAD GDT: Florida at Buffalo 1-9-14 at 7:00 PM EST

[Nitro60]

Give the shoot out to them. Our guys did not come close.

[Brawndo]

Figured it had to be Boyes

[BuffaloBorn]

1 point wooooooooo

[Eleven]

I'd like our chances in the SO much better with Miller in net, but Enroth (ETHRON!) has to learn sometime.

 

Wasn't there a guy in Dallas who was crazy good in the SO before? Forgot how good Boyes' record is.

 

I'll bet it wasn't Steve Ott.

[Hoss]

Why do they have to review this? Clearly a goal. Went off Enroth's back.

[Trettioåtta]

Seems like a poetic way for them to win

[BuffaloBorn]

I figured either Brad Boyes or Brian Campbell would get the GWG considering they're both X-Sabres

[Tom Backyard]

Live by the post, die by the post.

[bunomatic]

The Sabres feed on firstrow is really bad, so I've been watching the Panthers feed and OH MY they are homers. While Omark was laying there hurt they were taunting him. They were saying "how do you like them apples, Linus?" And then with this shootout goal (that should be a goal but was ruled not) they were saying "that's 100% a goal. I have no idea what this ref is saying."

 

Yeah they were. I was watching that feed too.

[biodork]

I'll bet it wasn't Steve Ott.

 

Lol no. Jussi Jokinen.

 

How was that not a goal?

 

Edit: oof, that was a lot longer ago than I thought, but yes Jussi was 8 for 8 in the SO in 2006:

Enroth did not look like an Olympic goaltender tonight. He hasn't since the 2010-11 season IMO.

What game were you watching?

[deluca67]

We've seen it the other way, too, most recently in a shootout.

 

 

 

If it were the other way 'round, DeLuca would be calling for five games.

Are you comparing a clean hit to Scott's head hunting? How embarrassing for you. ;)

[JJFIVEOH]

This game's going to a shootout. Neither of these teams can score two goals. Enroth will get another 1 goal loss.

 

When is Enroth going to ask for a trade?

[Stoner]

Oh, well, Brad Boyes, Brad Boyes, whatcha gonna do?

Stopping 34 of 35 shots is a really good night for any goaltender. It's not Enroth's fault he has 11 fourth line forwards and a John Scott playing in front of him.

 

Oh, well, Brad Boyes, Brad Boyes, whatcha gonna do?

He'd be a Hall of Fame player if the NHL had shootouts in the playoffs.

This is mind boggling.

[Nitro60]

Enroth had a strong game. Defense had several lapses in their own end and he made the big saves. I am not sure what game you were viewing.

[Assquatch]

 

 

...11 fourth line forwards and a John Scott playing in front of him...

 

What do you like about this team?

[JJFIVEOH]

7 goals of support in Enroth's last 8 starts. That is pathetic.

[Wyldnwoody44]

Enroth was beat a lot tonight, 5 posts.... Sure he made saves, but I would call his performance par for the course

[deluca67]

What do you like about this team?

As the roster stands right now, not much. We should all hope that Tim Murray feels the same way. They are the worst team in hockey for a reason. No need to try and find silver linings.

[26CornerBlitz]

Moulson is the only real "finisher" on the current roster. It's a real surprise when this team scores more than one goal. Bad...scary bad!

[biodork]

Not that he's had a great year, but hopefully CoHo will be back soon.

As much as I doubt Moulson will re-sign with the Sabres, it would be a huge message to the league and other players if the Sabres could. The same can be said for Ott and Miller.
