LET'S GET A WIN TONIGHT BOYS!
Hopefully we can close out these last three games! We gotta get it started tonight though!

More than 2 points on the line tonight… This team needs a win in the worst way. And it would be great if it was a game that we win while scoring maybe 5 goals. I would take a 5-2 win right now in the worst way.
Rask has played pretty well against us this year. Hopefully we can figure him out early.

The market is soft for goaltenders so if someone really needed a goalie the Bruins could move him, but that contract he has is a deal killer.

Disagree
he took advantage of the few chances he had. Most players on the Sabres didn’t/don’t convert at a rate as proficient as Paille did.
D.O.
www.diebytheblade.com - An SB nation destination for Sabres fans everywhere
His ice time was down as well
He averaged over 13 and half minutes per game in 07-08 and just under 12 minutes per game last season. I haven’t followed him much in Boston so I can’t speak on his play this year but Cornelius seems to like him.
His ice time was exactly what I meant when I said he didn’t get a chance here.
D.O.
www.diebytheblade.com - An SB nation destination for Sabres fans everywhere
His role was replaced by Kaleta. I’d consider that a definate upgrade if he’s stop getting his neck hurt.
Not even the Toronto Maple Leafs could kill my optimism
Kaleta is a fourth line player while I consider Paille more of a third line checking winger that can contribute offensively.
D.O.
www.diebytheblade.com - An SB nation destination for Sabres fans everywhere
That said, we should trade Cmac and replace him with ennis or whatever idiot the trade partner sticks us with.
Not even the Toronto Maple Leafs could kill my optimism
That would mean that the Paille trade was completely worthless.

But he never really checked.
And his points this year are half that of MacArthur’s and very similar to Kaletas’s. So if Paille can contribute offensively, so can Kaleta.
He’s getting 14:09 ATOI this year, 17th on the team (looks like)

Paille has always been a decent player
he never got a chance from Lindy Ruff, Go back to some of my posts from the summer. I was a huge supporter of Paille. He could be helping this team right now but traded him for nothing.
D.O.
www.diebytheblade.com - An SB nation destination for Sabres fans everywhere
It's not like he was benched every other game.
He played 77 games and 73 games. That’s more than Hecht, Paetsch, Mair, Ellis, Kaleta, & Stafford.
Look at his ice time
he was parked on the bench and never got a chance in Buffalo.

Ok, you're the person in charge (be it GM, coach, whatever)
What would you do to motivate these guys?
Trades are good, also, something to mix it up (ottawa started winning when they held a practice in central park), bench players, line juggling.
I vote call up. They usually bring lots of energy to teams.
Not even the Toronto Maple Leafs could kill my optimism
A callup is a good idea, they play like their future depends on it...
and in a way it does.
I wonder what the reaction would be if they stripped the Captain and Assistants of their letters, gave them out at a later date to those actually leading the team out of this mess.

do you really think Gaustad cares about the Olympics? Tell yourself whatever you need to in order to justify your big guy giving a cheap shot and not responding when he was challenged.
D.O.
www.diebytheblade.com - An SB nation destination for Sabres fans everywhere
O ya that big vicious cheap shot by Chara lol…just kidding guys hows everything going over here at Die By the Blade? In all fairness the cross check was just something that happens during the game…and think about it from both sides. First I think the rule is match penalty and possible suspension. Second, say he did drop the gloves Chara’s splint is hard, so say he hit Gaustad in the eye with it, it could cause serious eye injury. I’m sure Chara wouldn’t want to risk possibly messing up Gaustad’s vision and career from scratching his retina with the splint….just something to think about
by Dangles-McDonnybrook on Feb 9, 2010 8:46 PM EST up reply actions
Point taken
If that is the case though than Chara shouldn’t be getting his stick involved after the play. He goaded Gaustad into dropping the gloves after he was challenged and then he skated away. If he CAN’T fight he should have skated away originally instead of engaging Gaustad.
D.O.

I'm more bitter about the power play
Gaustad was mugged from behind (and rightfully so) and no penalty was called. I only got into the Chara battle because it was brought up by someone else. If the penalties were called properly I could care less.
D.O.
www.diebytheblade.com - An SB nation destination for Sabres fans everywhere
Yeah, I'm sure that exactly what was going through Goose's mind.
I can’t wait to keep Chara out of the Olympics that I’m not playing in .
And I’m sure “oh, this guy’s hurt, there’s no way he’ll fight” was either. So what? Gaustad got to look tough and didn’t end up getting McCabe’d. Good for him.

Actually I'm 100% positive that never crossed his mind.
Paul Gaustad is not a player who does something just for show. Keep on digging a bigger hole.
First post on the GT – apologies. But I have to ask….
Are you REALLY saying that Chara didn’t do anything that about 50% of the NHL would have gotten 2 minutes for?
Gaustad defended himself. And properly got called for taking the retaliatory shot. But come on dude, Chara wasn’t playing cleanly there. His reputation and experience is the only thing that kept him out of the box there. Let’s be objective fans here.

If you’ve got tape or other items on your hand and you cut the other player in a fight, it’s an automatic Match Penalty, by the way.

If they’re not blacked out. And you love giving even more ridiculous amounts of money to the NHL.
Weird.
I’ve never understood that. I wouldn’t want to come out an explicitly say it’s ok but I would just never bring it up. The links drive extra traffic to the sites. Everyone watching online is going to be in a game thread.
The way they word it is. If we have knowledge of an illegal link we are responsible for it’s removal. We could easily say that it was posted by someone else and we had no knowledge of it or of it being illegal.

Not sure
I don’t know what that is…I’m guessing I probably don’t want to either. Am I right?

Nah, you have to see it.
So that you can say you’ve seen it. Otherwise people will try and make you see it.

the puck was free in the crease to millers right. butler shoved it under miller’s leg.
Not even the Toronto Maple Leafs could kill my optimism
No doubt the puck was loose

it was Vanek that slid it under Miller, shocking that we actually have an overhead camera

But it was physically broken for 4 months.
It wasn’t even standard definition. Hell it wasn’t definition.
No, according to the article, they had an analog feed that didn’t tap into the game feed.

they said they had a standard definition feed available in Toronto. That could have been said to save face. If I can’t see it I don’t believe it.

It seems as though after that second goal Miller has woken up more
and the rest of the team is doing more to help him
They better. But no we’ll probably get Wheeler/Savard/Bergeron like usual.
