That's always the hardest part of moving up to the NHL. They are some of the worst in the league. I remember one year driving to Ohio listening to a Wings game on the radio and we literally had no idea what was happening in the game. They were talking about food or something. So, it was as if Schopp was doing the play by play? 2 Quote
Flashsabre Posted September 30, 2021 Report Posted September 30, 2021 Just a treat listening to the colour commentator ripping on the Sabres organization all period. I guess he doesn’t realize the Red Wings are a tire fire too. 1 Quote
pi2000 Posted September 30, 2021 Report Posted September 30, 2021 Peterka continues to look dangerous. 2 Quote
Eddiegoofball Posted September 30, 2021 Report Posted September 30, 2021 Was gonna make a comment about how the music is so much louder than the play by play guys but after kinda hearing them for the last 10 minutes, maybe the music can be a little louder still. These guys are awful. 2 2 Quote

I much prefer our 2021 draft to theirs. Quote
dudacek Posted September 30, 2021 Report Posted September 30, 2021 If they are going to call that tIcky-tack cross check every time this year, that will drive me crazy. UPL looks good to me early. 1 Quote
That Aud Smell Posted September 30, 2021 Report Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Why’s the colour guy sound like a cross of Thurston Howell and the guy who did colour for the Bruins in the 80s and 90s? Edit: Johnny Pierson (sp?) Edited October 1, 2021 by That Aud Smell Quote

Andrew Amerk Posted September 30, 2021 Report Posted September 30, 2021 UPL on pace for 84 saves. Quote
LGR4GM Posted September 30, 2021 Report Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Thompson looks bad as always. Quinn is not NHL ready. He isn't reading plays fast enough even though I think he has the skill. Peterka is noticeable and when Poltapov gets here those 2 will be a disruptive force. Edited October 1, 2021 by LGR4GM Quote

Try listening to a Bruins broadcast, I don't say this lightly it is almost un-listenable to if you aren't a fan of the Bruins. Pittsburgh has a pretty hard broadcast to listen to also. Even the Sabres are really homer-ish to an outsider. On more than one occasion in the past few years I have had friends over from out of town with a Sabres game on TV and they quickly commented on how much of a homer Rick is. You are playing to your audience. Most fans don't want to hear the truth all the time, they WANT to hear how good their team is or that their team is 'better'. Edited October 1, 2021 by mjd1001 Quote

Taro T Posted October 1, 2021 Report Posted October 1, 2021 Nice job by UPL to keep the leg on the ice going across the crease following the Wing across. Except for him not tearing anything, looked like Ullmark on the play. Which is encouraging. 2 1 Quote
thewookie1 Posted October 1, 2021 Report Posted October 1, 2021 Butcher has been a huge disappointment to me thus far; looks nothing like he did with NJ. Seems incompetent in his own zone. 1 Quote
