There is a Sabres thread, but the creator is inactive and I want to assume control of the Title.
Very excited for the season. I could see them finishing from anywhere between 3rd and 12th in the Conference (out on a limb).
Could be a transition with rookies Foligno and Grigorenko, with a bunch of young players coming up in the next year or 2.

I think its possible for the optimism you gave to come to fruition, and also I think its possible for Boston to let down a bit riding Tuuka Rask. That is the 3rd place scenario.
Hodgson should have a good year. They have him centering Vanek and Pominville, who are both pretty consistent. Very nice pick.
Im not a huge Miller fan though. He is very bi-polar with his play. Very good, stealing games, or awful and costing games.
Like Hodgson yesterday, played a strong game. Liked Ott as well. Vanek, of course was great in a 5 point game.
I still dont understand, with all the toughness added, why Stafford is the "punishment" when curly cue is running around and hitting the smallest players from behind.

The 2nd one apparently the ref was a little out of position and blew the whistle too early?
I thought it was a poorly officiated game for the most part. A couple real sketchy interference calls, the Ott dive looked bad, and they should have let Schenn and Foligno fight
I see Myers is back to being a very tall vagina again. Gerbe comes back from a back injury, gets plastered from behind, and Myers taps the guy's ankle with his stick. thatll show him.
It would be fine if he was playing good D, but he is playing like AIDS on blades.
Game tonight. Ill be there.

It is a huge deal to me. The Sabres have been pansies for like 12 years (after being maybe the toughest team for the previous 15 or so). It is great watching them win altercations again.
Next Sunday, Scott will take Lucic out.

Myers and Leopold might be the 2 worst defensemen in the league.
The refs were also brutal in this game, and ruined it. Had zero influence on the outcome, but it robbed the game of any flow or continuity.
I would assume Miller "gets a rest" tomorrow, but with Lindy you never know.
Basically its on Myers. If he cant turn it around, its an organization-changer.
I just dont see how it can work when nobody is in any danger of losing their job.
its a shame, he's a nice guy and a good coach but its time to get some new blood in there. hockey has changed and he hasnt really adjusted
But when the labor makes between $500K and $10M, the middle management (coaches) become the shmucks.
but i read this today

Ott pulling the whole pretending he was shoved into the goalie bit, while Vanek was shoveling underneath Budaj's pads like 3 giant thrusts. He was practically in the net when the puck finally went past him.
only guy worth a damn on the team. I like Hodgson too. Foligno, Ennis, Ott, and Scott.
