dudacek Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) I am so glad we finally have a guy who can finish with the goalie pulled. Our inability to score empty netters has been frustrating me for years. Jack, Sam and Evander with ridiculous totals for ice time - all around 23 minutes. Has to be a season high for Sam. All the PP time has to be part of that, but I think DD actually did a pretty good job last night with how he used his players. Edited March 4, 2016 by dudacek Quote
bcsaberks Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 One of the most fun games of the year, and we hit ~10 pages. I wonder whether this is a corollary to what the radio guys say: Phone lines are quieter after a win. I turned it off early in 2nd, figures. Agreed, useful third liner. Jack's post game interview https://www.nhl.com/sabres/video/jack-eichel-postgame-3316/t-277437090/c-42137903 Also... is Larry, Larson? Moose, Foligno? And D-Low, Deslauriers? Yeah who is Larry? Ha. Thanks for posting the link. Quote
jsb Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 What kind of language spell checks "GO" to "GJ"???? :P I thought he meant Good Job!!!!!! Quote
Stoner Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 I thought he meant Good Job!!!!!! Me too. Those kooky Swedes. Quote
Doohicksie Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 Could be. My brother's initials are GJ and my dad used to call him that; maybe my brain couldn't get past that and see the letters as initials for something else. Quote
Stoner Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 What a call by Rick on the Foligno goal. "Marcus Foligno with his loudest goal of the year, off the pipe!" Give this guy a good team and a great game and he's still scary good. I just don't think he can manufacture excitement like he once did. Quote

Sabres Fan in NS Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 What a call by Rick on the Foligno goal. "Marcus Foligno with his loudest goal of the year, off the pipe!" Give this guy a good team and a great game and he's still scary good. I just don't think he can manufacture excitement like he once did. Lets face the facts ... this team is not as exciting (generally) as past Sabres teams. That's not on RJ to manufacture excitement, but I do get your point ... we have had dud teams in the past a RJ made them sound like champs. One of my all time calls was when Andre Savard scored in OT against Quebec. Quote
Ronzer Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 Lol, Jeremy White is officially mad about Eichel playing on the right side of PP. He's starting another "crusade," as he calls it. So I guess when Eichel eventually ends up in the "Ovi" spot in a few weeks, he can take all the credit. Just like he was the poster boy of the tank even though people on this board were literally years ahead of him lol He was taking credit at 6:02 this morning. Quote
Hoss Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 I also laugh at Jeremy White. I made a bet with a friend just prior to the 2013-14 season that the Sabres would end up with one of McEichel. 13-14 was the Reinhart year. The bet was that he would buy me a McEichel jersey if they did and I would buy him any other player on the roster if they didn't... There's so many people who were on board with the tank and calling for it well before it became mainstream in MSM. For the record, he hasn't owned up to his side of the bet yet but he's well aware.

Didn't you get a jersey for the TW contest as well? Two new ones and no cost to you? Not too shabby at all.... Quote
Hoss Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Didn't you get a jersey for the TW contest as well? Two new ones and no cost to you? Not too shabby at all....It appears so. I'm not holding a knife to either to come through, though. It's mostly in fun so if either has a reason they can't I'm not going to hold against either.Especially since I got two great seats to a great game from TW. The only signed Sabres memorabilia I've ever owned was a signed Pominville puck that the team sent me after my house burnt down. As somebody who has never had money and doesn't come from money I have to rely on Chinese websites or garage sales if I want jerseys or other items, so it's definitely exciting.

WildCard Posted March 4, 2016 Author Report Posted March 4, 2016 Is it me, or did Samson intentionally not deflect Eichel's point shot? Quote
That Aud Smell Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 Is it me, or did Samson intentionally not deflect Eichel's point shot? That kid's a feckin' jedi in front on the net, so I'd vote for very intentional. Quote
Jsixspd Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 Great showing. I wished this team could show up every night (well, except for giving up a goal 16 seconds after Foligno's terrific short-handed score!) Quote
K-9 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 Great showing. I wished this team could show up every night (well, except for giving up a goal 16 seconds after Foligno's terrific short-handed score!) This team would have a better chance of showing up every night if teams like Calgary could show up every night as well. GO SABRES!!! Quote

LOL - very true. But they looked like crap against Edmonton which was another sewer team It's been the Buffalo Battle of The Bottom Feeders this week. Quote
qwksndmonster Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 What a fun game. Reinhart played very well. I felt bad for him a couple times when he was drifting wide open in space and Kane was jamming the puck into the goalie's pads from beneath the goal line. Jack played awesome. That shot was a thing of beauty. That power play started with Jack trying to blast the high shots into the net and then finally settling in and effortlessly drifting backwards and wristing the puck by Samson and into the net. Larsson, Foligno, and Gionta all played great. It's awesome to see Larsson's offense return. He learned a lot this year and I think is finally rounding out his game. I still think Foligno's a 4th liner who has flashes. Quote
Doohicksie Posted March 5, 2016 Report Posted March 5, 2016 yeichel The best part of this game? RJ left off the "YEICHEL!" He simply called the goal. Quote
Stoner Posted March 5, 2016 Report Posted March 5, 2016 The best part of this game? RJ left off the "YEICHEL!" He simply called the goal. There was at least one other Eichel goal where he left it off. I predict that Yeichel is not dead. Quote
