Sabres

didn't McKee end up with a staph infection or something? It kept him out of gm 6 or 7....blocked a shit ton of shots. I was glad he was out for that reason alone.

 

just missed game seven. He got $16 over 4 years from the Blues. I think he's injured.

 

All I'm saying is I got sick and tired of all the Saber fan excuses on Letsgocanes and the caneshockey (while it still worked) websites. Injuries are a part of the game, and depth is required to win the cup. All you'd read over there is post after muthfuckin post of "Canes got lucky" blah blah blah. Seriously, there were 2-3 new threads EVERY DAY about woulda/coulda/shoulda from Saber's fans. The shit got really old.

Yes, losing your top four defenseman is hard for any team to overcome. I am just tired of hearing about it. You bring what you can and do the best with what you've got, and if that's not enough, then you re-group and try again next year.

I heard no Buffalo coach or player make excuses when they lost. They took the "L" with class and are playing lights out this year. I congratulate them on that and love the style of hockey they play.

Solarte - I liked our overall "D" depth last year. A Ward, Wesley, Hedican, Kaberle, Wallin, Commodore, Hutchinson, Babchuk and Tverdosky. Six of those guys could be a top 4 pairing on most any team in the NHL. We put a lot of focus on our defense, and we were prepared for a slew of injuries if they would have struck (though six would have been a hard pill to swallow).

 

MY POINT EGGGZACHARY

 

:grossergrinser:

 

this kinda sucks. A friend called last night. he has two tickets for the Leafs game Sat nite. 14th row, center ice players' bench side. won them at work. I gotta work that night. these are $140 seats. I told him some dumb-ass toronto fans will be down looking and if he got up to arena early enough he'd be able to get around $400 for the pair, easy. those freaks get raped so hard on tix for their home games, they'd pay that and smile. HSBC is always half Leafs fans for those games.

oh, well. I'll settle for the fucking Bolts in a couple weeks, 300 bowl.

 

Sabres ever gonna lose?

 

that game last night was sick. down by three with 8:50 left and they score two in a 55-second span late to tie, then almost win in regulation. no way any team can keep that shit up.

it's fun to watch. less than 30K seats remain for the entire year. glad I got mine. not so glad it's against the bolts.
