CallawaySabres Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 This team is SO making the playoffs Quote
WildCard Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 This team is SO making the playoffs Sabres vs Islanders in the ECF with the Isles losing to the Blues in the Final. Picks 30-32 here we come Quote
biodork Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 Woot! Sounds like the Ennis line is on fire, but lots of credit on that play to Myers. Â Apparently Stewart is a southpaw, lol Quote
inkman Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 Tasker with an emmy worthy performance in the west Herr commercial Quote
Kelly the Dog Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 Reasons we may be substantially better and not finish last. Â 1] This is already the good Myers. He may not be great but this Myers makes the team a completely different team, and I think from the time Nolan came on until he got hurt, he was pretty much the good Myers. he looks very good this preseason. Â 2] Not having 4-5 guys per game who dont really belong in the league like last year is a monster difference. Â 3] Average or even legitimate bottom 2 defensemen are 10x better than crappy defensemen. Â 4] Guys like Gionta who score 10 goals are 2-3 times the player that average Sabres over the last couple decades that score 10 goals. Â 5] The Chris Stewart that tries is a damn good player. Â 6] Grigs looks like he may actually help. Â 7] Having only the 4th line made up of 4th line players instead of 4 lines with 4th line players sprinkled throughout is a huge difference. Â 8] Hodgson on the wing the whole year should help the wings. Quote
z-man Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 I will say Reinhardt looks pretty good on defense and seems to play well positionally, but around the net he tends to soft c0ck it. It's almost like he's thinking too much. Quote
CallawaySabres Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 I still think goaltending will be the weakest link on the team. I hope someone really steps it up by 2015 season. Quote
Claude Balls Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 Three things......what's with Brian Duff and the UFC fighter look? Who the hell dresses Brad May and I think May stayed in the tanning booth a little too long. Other than that, the Sabres look pretty good. I don't see McDavid or Eichel being a Sabre next year. Quote
z-man Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 Brad May's tie isn't bad, but that shirt... Quote
Huckleberry Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Personally I think the washington team will suck without backstrom and two rookie centers having to do it all. Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 I loved that flinch by the caps player at the end of that fight. Stewart ripped him apart and has looked very good all around this game.... The sabres look like a team poised to strike at any moment this game, wish it was regular season. Â Zadarov looks meh so far and that stumble of his almost lead to a goal. Quote
Huckleberry Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) I thought Zadorov looked much better, but its to late to make the team i think. Â And this capitals team really does suck today. Edited October 2, 2014 by Heimdall Quote
pastajoe Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Not having their two best forwards tips the ice a bit. Quote
Kelly the Dog Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Not having their two best forwards tips the ice a bit. Very true. Still it's pretty surprising to see passes going to sticks, and guys helping each other out, and shooters shooting and getting rebounds, and, you know, stuff you learn in pee wee that we haven't seen much of. Quote
CallawaySabres Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Serious question, even when this team is good, I wonder if the crowd will ever get to the level it used to be. It's been a few years and I remember the last playoff series I went to was even brutal. Quote
dudacek Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 OK, who's planning the parade route? Quote
darksabre Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Gorges Myers is going to be a good defensive pair. Quote
Huckleberry Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 This team is back at an NHL level. Don't expect much more out of the year. Quote
darksabre Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 I have to say, our AHL team looked good against the Washington regulars. I'm not sure this is too far from the norm. The Caps might actually be really bad. Quote
dudacek Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 When Strachan and Foligno combine for offence, you do have to start questioning the opposition. Quote
Huckleberry Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 When Strachan and Foligno combine for offence, you do have to start questioning the opposition. Â That was very nice pass though. Quote
Kelly the Dog Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 When Strachan and Foligno combine for offence, you do have to start questioning the opposition. Yea. Caps look awful. They aren't doing anything well. Quote
