thats a veteran defenseman in Kronwall too. Gotta be sportscenter top 10…but its hockey

 

Great point on Kronwall.

 

It was a great goal. It's in the Sabres top ten for this year, no matter who publishes it.

Nolan calling out 82 & 80 big time in the post game presser

Don't have post game. Why is TN on 80 and 82?

[Brawndo]

No injuries this game, for once

[26CornerBlitz]

Didn't play physical enough to suit Nolan.

[ubkev]

 

That's downright filthy...Wash your hands young man...Wash your hands!

 

2 minutes and no goal. Jersey tucked!

 

 

What a play!

@BuffaloSabres

Nolan on Girgensons: "He plays the game right." He says he was the #Sabres' best player on the ice tonight.

It's also Jimmy Howard. No Slouch in net either.

He sure does.

I continue to think he's overrated, and those familiar with my pre-Olympic posts can note the consistency. I think he's adequate, especially with that team in front of him, but hardly great.

is he a slouch?

 

(I'm not certain the non-negative form of that phrase makes any sense at all...)

He may or may not be a slouch. He is not a hackett.

[dudacek]

I'm with Teddy.

Stewart was lazy on the back check on the first Detroit goal and picked the wrong check on the second. I see why Hitch soured on him.

And Foligno looks like he's following him. He's forgotten how to use that big body.

 

And the Latvian?

He gives me hope.

Foligno has yet to make consistent use of his size here. There's no forgetting going on with him. He just doesn't do it.

He did as a junior, and he did when first came up.

Regardless of who we draft. Z will be the guy I am most excited about for next year.

[qwksndmonster]

I may have underestimated Gus

Ryan Callahan, only manlier.

In Stewarts defence. He has been out with an injury since the trade deadline. I'm fairly confident he ain't in game shape.

[darksabre]

 

 

He did as a junior, and he did when first came up.

 

On occasion. He'd play one game really hard then the next he'd be invisible. But we let it slide because he was a kid.

 

I like Marcus for the hometown connection but I've not been all that impressed with him.

[dudacek]

Agreed.

[Andrew Amerk]

 

 

He sure does.

I always felt the same way about Osgood too.

Don't cha mean Os-isn't? ;)

The guy won Cups. Blah.

[Taro T]

The guy won Cups. Blah.

I 'might' have been able to w/ that lineup in front of me, and I'm almost positive Drk or my kid would have won multiples.

 

Didn't Kyle friggin' Boller win a Superbowl?

That's weird, because I had thought about mentioning Trent Dilfer winning an SB - but then I got scared of someone screaming THIS IS A HOCKEY THREAD WTF UGGGHH C'MON
