I just realized that I am only going to receive the Lightning broadcast of this game.
"If we needed any more motivation to win a Cup sooner than later, we've got one now," Black said. "I really want to listen to the game that RJ calls when he finally gets to shout out, 'Buffalo wins the Stanley Cup.'"
"Do it or Die Trying."
Time to see what force is more powerful...
The automatic win of the Lossthread, or the automatic loss of me attending a game in person

Lossthread generated Roy heroics. Anything is possible after a feat like that.

26-63-21
seems like a good combo so far.

Really liked Gerbe on the 63 & 21 line
But can’t argue with Vanek being on it.
if I had my choice
swap Gerbe for Stafford

OOOOHHHH YEAH
I was thinking about the two of the mighty mights getting Stafford going, but could you imagine those two setting up Vanek?
It’s what happens when you play the Guy Boucher Western Florida Trappers.

The Lightning broadcast just said that St. Louis has a normal chair on the bench so he can sit without his legs dangling. Apparently he does this to keep his legs fresh. Andreychuk just showed the chair.

Great idea.
I know when I’m at a bar with awkward stools that leave my legs hanging it’s awful.

Good looking first 10
Just need to start connecting on those crossing passes, and finishing.
Oh, and obligatory Roy hate. Seemed to work last night.

Finally wrestled the iPad away from Sophia
Being out muscled by a 16 month old.
So if you’re Regier, are you a buyer or a seller at the deadline? Looks to me like this team can make a run.
like to say buy, and make a run
but this roster has serious cap issues. Adding top talent would be incredibly difficult from a $ perspective

I'd still move Roy and someone for a big banging center.

Saw that the asking price was Myers
And when Regier wouldn’t budge, talks ended.
Too much to ask
Would love to see it, but can’t imagine that deal happening.
No reason they can't sell Stafford and/or Roy and still make a run.
by lgbfromoregon on Feb 11, 2012 7:27 PM EST up reply actions
yeah
they can still be good players, but they have not proven themselves to be untouchable by any means. Get us some cap room, a nice prospect, a nice pick, maybe a veteran, and this team can still make a run.

this type of scenario
would actually help bolster my faith in Darcy and the front office (and I’m already fairly optimistic).

I really question stafford's tradeability
because of his contract. But Roy offers nice value. Sucks though because we’re thin at center as it is. We’d definitely need a pivot in return.
by lgbfromoregon on Feb 11, 2012 7:38 PM EST up reply actions
Is Roy’s value really that good given the of year he is having?

but I had miss read picks as pucks. Honestly that’s all I’d expect to be offered in return for Roy (maybe a bakers dozen if we’re lucky).

Looking at their depth chart
Van could use a RW. Cody Hodgson is currently listed as their 4th center. I wonder if they’re willing to part with him?

For just Roy, yes.

If there's
Roy hate there has to be Gerbe love. That kid skates HARD all the time.
Andreychuk just said that there is a lot of conversation between the coaches and playes on the Lightning Bench
but the Sabres side has been pretty quiet.
Seems odd.

or maybe
no one recognizes the coaches’ voices?
“Who ARE these guys?”
I love this DTv commercials telling fans to lock in their savings for the next two years.
That lets you know that their MSG contract is up within the next year or so.

Can Kassian give the Sabres a spark the way Lin gave the Knicks one?

I wanna get on the Kassian bandwagon, but can't
Kaleta does so much more and Kassian just hasn’t reached that level yet
Razor? Huh?
What’s Razor doing, trying to talk up Stafford’s trade value? Stafford did anything but drive to the net.
Miller look to be on again tonight.
And the way they’re passing, looks like they’ll need him
