kishoph Posted March 11, 2014 Report Posted March 11, 2014 Although I wasn't impressed with anything he did the other night, I would of liked to see Adam given more than 1 game to get back up to the big club, I don't think it's that important to have Scott, Konopka and Leino in the lineup. I see Ville Leino is going to go at center, I heard he's a good center. :rolleyes: Quote
dEnnis the Menace Posted March 11, 2014 Report Posted March 11, 2014 any news on the three injured? I'll miss the first period probably before getting home. Gotta hit up the gym...training for my second Tough Mudder B-) Quote

For a scorer, that's not going to cut it. Quote
LGR4GM Posted March 11, 2014 Report Posted March 11, 2014 Was going to go to the game in Nashville at the end of the month. Nashville is my favorite western conference team for an unknown reason, I just like them. Hope it is a good entertaining affair. Quote
bunomatic Posted March 11, 2014 Report Posted March 11, 2014 I want to see the Sabres kick some Nashville Pusssy ! As always, GO SABRES ! Quote
Brawndo Posted March 11, 2014 Report Posted March 11, 2014 The Tank takes an unfortunate hit tonight, 4-2 Sabres. Quote
LGR4GM Posted March 11, 2014 Report Posted March 11, 2014 Apparently we are in a full scale rebuild... who knew? http://www.ontheforecheck.com/2014/3/11/5495412/buffalo-sabres-nashville-predators-2014-march-11-preview?utm_source=ontheforecheck&utm_medium=nextclicks&utm_campaign=articlebottom It contains this rather accurate quote. Seriously, look at that stats box above - the Sabres are a simmering pile of garbage these days. Quote
26CornerBlitz Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Posted March 11, 2014 @BuffaloSabres Optional game day morning skate underway. 8 forwards, 3 defensemen & one goalie (Neuvirth) participating. #Sabres Quote
Doohicksie Posted March 11, 2014 Report Posted March 11, 2014 Nashville is my favorite western conference team for an unknown reason, I just like them. You got the hots for Trotz! Apparently we are in a full scale rebuild... who knew? http://www.onthefore...n=articlebottom It contains this rather accurate quote: "Seriously, look at that stats box above - the Sabres are a simmering pile of garbage these days." Well at least they might not be "spinning their wheels in an Edmonton-like morass." (i.e., the Sabres aren't the standard in futility. Yet.) Quote
kishoph Posted March 11, 2014 Report Posted March 11, 2014 I think what you see with Luke is what you got. He's played in 10 games with the Sabres with year and has one point. For a scorer, that's not going to cut it. I suppose you're right, I just always thought that he had a lot more to give, maybe he's comfortable being near the top in the AHL. Quote
Iron Crotch Posted March 11, 2014 Report Posted March 11, 2014 Gooooooooose! Down here in Nashville there are a couple of douchebags who blow duck calls at certain times throughout the games... I finally realized what they were doing... Whenever Goose is on the ice these guys quack away with their duck calls. Goose... duck... whatevah.... Quote

26CornerBlitz Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) @BuffaloSabres Nolan very impressed by Conacher's "competitive spirit." He says, "When you've got that, that's a good sign." #Sabres Enroth to play tonight, Nolan says. #Sabres Nolan says "nothing serious" on Myers and he'll be back tonight. #Sabres #Sabres Interim Coach Ted Nolan says Sulzer is close, likely back next game after tonight. @BillHoppeNHL Sounds like Chris Stewart is out for the season. #Sabres 03/11 – Sabres vs Predators Game Notes PDF (Ian Ott – Sabres PR) 03/11 – Press Clips: 3/11/14 vs Nashville Predators (Ian Ott – Sabres PR) Edited March 11, 2014 by 26CornerBlitz Quote
Hoss Posted March 11, 2014 Report Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) Will be in attendance. First game of the season for me. And first game of my girlfriends life. Hopefully it's a competitive one so she can enjoy it. Edited March 11, 2014 by Tankalicious Quote

For a scorer, that's not going to cut it. I think the kid needs to go to another team if he wants to have a shot at an NHL career, he has been burned on this one. Quote

26CornerBlitz Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Posted March 11, 2014 03/11 – Sabres newcomer Chris Stewart likely done for season (Bill Hoppe – Olean Times Herald) Gooooooooose! The Goose that laid the Golden Girgs. :D Quote
Robviously Posted March 11, 2014 Report Posted March 11, 2014 That southern education system paying off. It's always weird to me when people from Buffalo criticize the south. The two regions are on opposite trajectories, and not in a good way for our little city. The Predators haven't been playing great and played last night. Tonight should be a Sabres win. Quote

Sabres Fan in NS Posted March 11, 2014 Report Posted March 11, 2014 The Sabres may actually beat these guys. In Pekka we trust!! Don't let us down Pekka!! Quote
