4-4-2 in the last 10 games

I can see them playing .600 hockey for the rest of the season if players buy into ted's system

I have no (frank)ing clue what to expect from them moving forward for the rest of the season

yeah those bonus points could be a big problem. my god miller is good in shootouts. he patiently waits out the shooters and calmly gives them nothing to shoot at. plus, it seems like every goalie we face in the shootout acts like a spaz with jimmy legs once the shootout starts.

Think that was yesterday they went bowling . They do have a bowl game coming up

Sweet . and they DID go bowling

.13 ppg is important to you on this team? C'mon fella.

They didn't sign him to the six year deal for this year. You're just looking silly.

You've hinted at some demotion for lack of buy in twice now, but nobody else has commented on it anywhere, and it's way more likely that it relates to the overall fluidity of Nolan's lines: forgive me if I tell you I don't buy you as having inside information.

That's fine. Again I still don't see what I have said that isn't true. Kassian is scoring more this year, Hodgson is scoring less. The Canucks are a contender, the Sabres are in the basement. The trade isn't a slam dunk like it seemed last season IMO

coho is a lot more talented than kassian. it comes down to need. do you need a talanted 2nd line center, or a 3rd line power forward? i think it helps both teams.

Per Garfs update:

WGR's Paul Hamilton tweeted that Jhonas Enroth would be the starter for the Sabres tonight. Confirmation will come when/if Enroth leads his team onto the ice for pregame warmups.

Enroth is 1-6-3 with a 2.60 GAA and ,908 save % this season.

He played well, making 24 saves on 26 shots that he faced, in his last start against Calgary on December 14th. Matt Stajan scored the OT GWG for Calgary in the first minute of OT.
**
Hamilton reports Linus Omark will skate on a line with Matt Ellis and Kevin Porter in his Sabres debut.

Brian Flynn will skate at center for the injured Cody Hodgson.

I don't m ind the idea of playing Omark with Porter and Flynn. He hasn't had a practice or even a game day skate so ease him into 4th line minutes.

The facts you recite are true (except - as far as I can tell - your report that Coho got taken behind the woodshed). A parrot can do that.

The conclusions you draw from them are mistaken. Donkeys and chimps do that.

Exactly. Hodgson is the better player and probably always be, but the notion that we raped them of this gem player is exaggerated

What conclusions? That Hodgosn hasn't been better this year?

Could end up being a scoring line

If you're not careful, you're going to back up so far that you'll wind up in Friday.

Porter with two assists and a spin-o-rama top shelf back-hander to win in OT.

And Scott KO's Marchand - with a clean hip check.

Kassian is not a "goal scoring power forward" sbroads... please stop. I'm not a huge fan of Hodgson, but we clearly stole that deal. Had other GM's known Hodgson was available, Vancouver wouldve gotten a much better package than Kassian and Gragnani.

EVERY player on our team is having a down year offensively. We are struggling badly to score in case that wasnt known.

Head shot with Scotts hip ?

You may have a point, B&G.

Please elaborate. I'm waiting for any facts besides Hodgsons faceoff % that would prove he hasn't been worse this season

He has 18 goals in a about a season and a 1/3 as a 22 year old. Definitely a career 4th liner

I like Hodgson. Why does him not playing well amount to me not liking him?
