sicknfla Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 Hodgson & Leino are back? I would hate to be TN and have to decide how to get them back in the lineup. So many tough decisions.
LaLaLaFontaine Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 I hope Hodgson will show up for he game. 2:1 Buffalo wins.
Hoss Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 Sabres lead 2-0 after the second period, but then Miller comes out of the tunnel wearing Caps equipment after a mid-intermission trade. Sabres lose 4-2.
IKnowPhysics Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 Hat trick for Grigorenko tonight. In Sherbrooke.
PromoTheRobot Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 Was this supposed to be an NBC game? Sunday 3pm suggests that to me.
26CornerBlitz Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Posted January 12, 2014 Was this supposed to be an NBC game? Sunday 3pm suggests that to me. Why would NBC televise a hockey game on the Sunday of NFL divisional playoffs weekend? Wouldn't make any sense.
inkman Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 Was this supposed to be an NBC game? Sunday 3pm suggests that to me. Whoever decided to schedule Sunday afternoon games, up against NFL playoff football, needs to rethink their strategy.
26CornerBlitz Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Posted January 12, 2014 @BuffaloSabres NOLAN: Hodgson and Leino looked "like they had some jump in their legs and [are] eager to play." Scott will be a healthy scratch today.

cdexchange Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 I don't know about this one, this SF-CAR game is pretty damn good so far...
inkman Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 Hodgson must be thrilled with his new line mates
26CornerBlitz Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Posted January 12, 2014 @BuffaloSabres Moulson wearing an "A" today instead of Weber.
kishoph Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 @BuffaloSabres NOLAN: Hodgson and Leino looked "like they had some jump in their legs and [are] eager to play." Scott will be a healthy scratch today. I like John Scott and I think he's been getting a raw deal from the NHL, but with Konopka on the roster, do the Sabres really have a need for him any longer ? Try to get something for him before the trade deadline, anything would be better than just letting him be a healthy scratch for the remainder of the season, or worse, putting him back in the line-up.
26CornerBlitz Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Posted January 12, 2014 @washcaps #Caps lineup today from Verizon Center: 21-19-20, 16-84-8, 25-90-42, 24-83-43; 27-74, 81-52, 4-58. Grubauer vs. Miller. #CapsSabres
darksabre Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 I haven't watched a game in so long. What's the over/under on how long it takes for Leino to get hurt again?
darksabre Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 Why do people insist on yodeling our national anthem?
cdexchange Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 I haven't watched a game in so long. What's the over/under on how long it takes for Leino to get hurt again? I'll say 4 periods.
darksabre Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 Girgensons without a stick playing soccer generates two scoring chances. Love that guy.
Wyldnwoody44 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Posted January 12, 2014 This kid is way worse than our kid!! I thought she was pretty decent
