Can't give away two and a half periods to complete disinterest like they did last night. That was a very beatable opponent and they didn't even show up.

Codys goal was pretty awesome though.

You're probably right with the kid goaltender they should have been beatable, but Carolina is a much better team than us in my opinion.

We've had small pockets of success for sure, some things to build around.

To me that's a kid. 29 career NHL games also makes someone a kid to me.

well, the Sabre fan wondered if Kaleta's suspension would be extended because Marc Staal got hit directly by a puck on the eyeball, who knows if he'll see again. Hank the Ranger fan accused him of having a mental problem with a comment like that, and your only warning went to the Ranger fan.

I am not going to complain to anyone about it, just wondering WTF

We have different opinions on what makes someone a kid then.

I remember being one of the only people who said they wanted the Sabres to take a run at signing Semin in the off season. Almost everyone said he was a huge defensive liability. He happens to be a point per game player and a +17 this season. With 23 points that means in even strength situations that he has only been on the ice for 6 goals against in 22 games. I wish we had several defensive liabilities like him on our team.

29 games is still a rookie, no?

Doesn't make him a kid.

It makes him a career AHL player/mentor to the 20-22 year old kids coming up.

He has 5 pp points, so one goal against.

By kid I meant inexperienced. No point in arguing over semantics.

Losses to teams that fill their buildings halfway and only do that with help from transplanted Buffalonians really annoy me.

What do you make of the many fans from Canada/Rochester that come to the First Niagara Center on a regular basis?

Depending on the opponent..........

bumholes.

peters looked pretty good, was tracking the puck well and moving well.

for the part of the game i saw he really didn't look bad.. but he saw pretty much every shot all the way to him... i thought his movement was a little choppy but it was effective and he moved with the puck. we really should have had more goals. i can't believe we let a goalie that is in his second NHL game see every shot without distractions.

I live for the day that this team plays 60 minutes of hockey!!

He has 5 pp points, so one goal against.
- dadeadhead

but is that because of him or is it because of his linemates and probably typically drawing the other teams top defenders and not their top goal scorers.. teams don't really give too much of a crap about line matching against buffalo

He wasn't in his 2nd game. It was his 29th.

CH is almost a PPG guy with zero PP points. That is something to build on. I fear that HPV line won't be intact much longer though, with contracts expiring and all.

oh i thought i heard his 2nd.. i guess i am wrong but either way there shoudl have been more traffic

He like many young netminders came out in his 1st three career starts only allowing 4 ga. He then got figured out.
