I so did not think that was going to be possible. Especially with Brodeur in the other end.

The players seem to not be playing in the shadows of say Pommer Van and Miller.

THey are playing the way that got them to the NHL. which it should be . Shocked Ruff didn't make back-up goalies play wing .

Well, I'm sure if he had tried that a lot of people around here would have complained Enroth isn't big enough.

Stafford and Foligno need to watch some film on how JVR plays this game. Plays strong and powers his way to the net.

How do so many NESN games end up on NHL network? I hate the B'a and the announcers are the worst!

I don't have a problem with Foligno's game. He already powers to the net. It's taken a few years for JVR to do it with consistency. I'm sure Foligno will get there.

Let's not forget either, that JVR was a 2nd overall pick. Foligno was 4th round pick.

They need to figure out how to create some space for him. If they can do that, he'll start getting on the score sheet. I almost think that he would be better at center like Ennis because it gives them more space to work with, but I don't think he's even remotely big enough to be able to play that position in the NHL.
- HonkFortheGoose

Yeah I was thinking of people who could play with him I really can't think of a line. You have to pair him with size (i.e. not Ennis at center) and speed. He is so much faster than Hecht and Scott its just a waste of energy for him to be out with fourth liners.

Maybe if they put him with Porter and Foligno... I don't know. But then you are messing with other lines that are doing well.

Have we heard any rumors from trade deadline day? Kevin Sylvester was saying today that Darcy was inquiring about someone who had a NTC and wouldn't waive it to come to Buffalo...

I have 2. Hoff and CoHo. Thought about picking Miller, but went with Rask and Bishop.

Ennis has grown on me . kid is quick as stink. Just needs the creativity to get the puck to an open creative winger.

So far from what I've seen having Gerbe and Ennis on the same line doesn't work. Its nice because they have similar speed, but the size disadvantage is pretty bad.

Max midgets per line: 1

Me neither .. every one worth anything is either hurt or only 3 games.

Seemed like there were very few to choose from that had 4 games this week. I think I ended up with a bunch that only have 3. Figured I was better off taking guys with less games that will produce than guys that won't produce with the extra game.

Well Rangers lost and so did Carolina. This is good for the Sabres playoff chances....

Not saying thats what I want lol....

Semin still out?

So I didn't miss much on here did I?

So much hostility in here today. I guess that's what happens when your team frustrates the crap out of everyone

I've decided to take the passive approach with my "favorite" poster on here. Just a few and I'm all good!
