GDT: Buffalo @ Colorado, 9:00 PM EST

[Eleven]

Vogl may have an explanation for the goalie situation tonight:

 

John Vogl‏@BuffNewsVogl

OK, so CBA says Hackett must play at least 30 minutes in 28 career games to remain RFA. If he finishes this one, he'll be at 22.

You just HAD to say it. If the Irish blow this, I fear the wrath the poster formerly known as LPF will rain down upon you.

Am I crazy or did Hackett not start this game? What happened to Lindback?

No word why Lindback was pulled. Getting Hackett his 30 to get him to count towards the games the Sabres need to keep his rights is a good guess.

 

Looks like Larsson's streak of being even / + won't continue tonight.

[Neo]

Can you imagine his agent watching them put him in for 30, but not giving him full games, just to change his status? Am I making something of nothing?

 

PS ... I remember "we want 15".

[rumblefish]

can't catch a break  Sabres playing like HC, and ND not getting their butt kicked

[Doohicksie]

Hodgson is hustling tonight.

 

I wanna see a line with Hodgson, Grigo and Foligno.  I think there could be some good chemistry there.  Foligno is physical, Hodgson is getting more persistent on the puck and Grigorenko is learning how to use his size, plus they hall have some level of offensive touch.

I've got a lot riding on ND myself...

[WanderingEye]

Matt Ellis has had 2 point blank shots in the slot and fired wide both times. Players like him are why we suck

There's no getting rid of him either. Season after season he finds his way back. 31 GP this year and 0 points.

[Claude Balls]

Colorado three shots in the second period...two went in. Apparently there is NO offense without Ennis. Fugly!!!

[Doohicksie]

Well, he played like Anders Lindback, for starters... ;)

 

Neither 1st period goal were really on him I thought.  It really came down to Colo crashing the net.  Hackett on the other hand let in 2 of 3 shots he faced in the period.

[Hoss]

We have Zemgus.

That's like saying "I have a Charizard" when somebody says they want a holographic Charizard.

Ennis, and Zemgus, and Samson, and McEichel.  I really think we'll have several offensive threats next year that will really make the Sabres a multidimensional team.

I googled it and I still don't know wtf that is.

[rumblefish]

Locker room not sending the message I hoped for

[Hoss]

Gotta catch 'em all

[Taro T]

You think that's tough to figure out. Try getting it when you've never seen the show and the response back to "what do you want for Christmas" is "zar-zar."

[I am Defecting]

It helps if you imagine that they are playing at home.  You hear Rick's voice raise up, a name you barely recognize, a goal horn of some sort.  Fans cheering.  You'd imagine we were winning.

[Nitro60]

I was at the Phlly fog game with my brother Mike.  SRO top of the Orange center ice area.  Moved down to the reds at the end of the 3rd.  My Aunt and cousin were are ride home and they had a seat open.  I Sat on the aisle and we were in the corner where Robert scored.  Right in front of us.  It was awesome.  Best game for me, hands down.  My high school buddy Ray was one of the guys skating on the ice with a sheet.   Those were the days.  

[I am Defecting]

Wait a second, buster. 

 

Are we manipulating the roster to accommodate a certain Matt Hackett?

 

I smell controversy.

 

How are we going to fit a two bit hack like him onto a playoff team?

 

That right there will be the reason we don't win the Cup next year and end up floundering near the bottom.

 

Dang it Nolan!  I was a big fan or yours before this little shenanigan, but now you've gone too fart.

 

And I thought he was a good coach.  Stupid Anna!

I am kidding, teehee teehee.

Nice move by Meszaros.

check the goal totals. We have the same guy but younger. Z hasnt played in a month

[Randall Flagg]

Weber just crushed a guy in the corner because he tracked the puck along the boards and timed when it would get to the guy he hit, but the ref had it hit his skate and it stopped 10 feet away, so weber's check was a blatant interference but it wasn't called :P pretty funny looking

Haha Meszaros! Awesome!

[I am Defecting]

I am a little conflicted when it comes to Z's handling.

 

I've had hard teachers who have at the same time been supportive.  They don't give things for free and make you work, but do not demean you.  They stay in your head for ever, pushing you to do better.

 

I've also had hard teachers who, if you don't toe the line, try to destroy you, and I don't think that Ted Nolan is this type, but they aren't good.

[Eleven]

Meszaros again!

[Doohicksie]

Messy is a scoring MACHINE tonight.

[dudacek]

Now we gotta re-sign the Mess!

Never been a big Varlarmov fan.
