Doohicksie Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 Like I said, Lidstrom 2.0 How far back did you call it? I called it back in May I've already compared Risto to Nick Lidstrom. I was in Detroit when Lidstrom came up and watched his early career and I see a lot of the same things in Risto in terms of great positioning, breakout passes and generally making things look smooth and effortless. ...and a bit more definitively in July. I'll go on record as saying he's that guy. I lived in Detroit when Lidstrom came up. Risto is exactly that kind of player, imo. I'll go on record as acclaiming him as the next Nicklas Lidstrom. This either makes me prophetic or will be lost in the winds of time. Quote
dudacek Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 The story from Winnipeg is that Bogo didn't do well on his offside and Risto the bed when we tried him there. Pysyk will be the one moving over. Not sure if he or McCabe will play with Franson on pair three, or Bogo on pair 1B. Either way I'm feeling better about our D than any time since the Lydman/Tallinder days. Quote

LGR4GM Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 Like I said, Lidstrom 2.0 That's a bold comparison. Ask me again in 10 years. That said, who the hell pissed in Risto's cheerios? He seems to be far more aggressive towards forwards in our zone than he use too be. Quote
qwksndmonster Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 That said, who the hell pissed in Risto's cheerios? He seems to be far more aggressive towards forwards in our zone than he use too be. Halle lujiah! Quote

LGR4GM Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 super awesome, I have missed have a skilled defender who has an attitude problem with opposing forwards. Then Bogo will come back... our crease could be scary. Quote
shrader Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 That's a bold comparison. Ask me again in 10 years. Make that 30 years. Lidstrom played for about 50 years. Quote

WildCard Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 Bogo back at practice Any chance you know if he's full/contact or not? Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 Bogo back at practice The question, of course, is whether he makes it through this time. Here's hoping. Quote
Brawndo Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 Any chance you know if he's full/contact or not? @BuffaloSabres: Look who's back: Zach Bogosian back on the ice with the team. No red jersey, he's full contact. https://t.co/XVvLCDBdCh Quote
inkman Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 our crease could be scary. :devil: Quote
jsb Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 Hopefully that means he'll be in the games very soon. The defense has actually been much better as of late, his presence could really help out. Has there been any word on E.Kane??? Wasn't he originally going to be out 4-6 weeks, if true, he's been out close to 3 weeks now. If that 4 weeks threshold is true, he'll be ready soon also. Quote

The defense has actually been much better as of late, his presence could really help out. Has there been any word on E.Kane??? Wasn't he originally going to be out 4-6 weeks, if true, he's been out close to 3 weeks now. If that 4 weeks threshold is true, he'll be ready soon also. At this rate, I hope he doesn't come back until December, or when he's fully healed. Quote
Brawndo Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 @BuffNewsVogl: Zach Bogosian pleased with how he handled full practice with Sabres. Lists himself as day-to-day @BuffNewsVogl: "You can only get in game shape by playing games. Hopefully, I can mix in a game here pretty soon." - Bogosian @BuffNewsVogl: "We went on the ice at 11 or 12. I was here at 8 o’clock, I think. I was a little excited." - Bogosian Quote
LGR4GM Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 Thank the baby jesus. ...and Raptor Jesus We are an 8-8 team right now without one of our top 2 defenders... just let that sink in for a moment. Quote
WildCard Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 ...and Raptor Jesus We are an 8-8 team right now without one of our top 2 defenders... just let that sink in for a moment. And our top winger for the last, what, 7 games? Though we're 5-2 in that stretch Quote
LGR4GM Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 And our top winger for the last, what, 7 games? Though we're 5-2 in that stretch Wait until January when Jack and Sam have really settled in. Quote
nucci Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 I know it's early, but Risto is on pace for 51 points this season. Whenever Bogosian gets back, he better be on the 2nd pairing. Keep feeding Risto ice time! would there be much difference in ice time between 1st and 2nd pairing? Quote
Tondas Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 I'm trying to recall if the Sabres ever had one. Shony. Other than Shony. Mike Ramsey. Quote
