Hmm someone said Hodgson would score

Now 'bout those lottery numbers you were mentioning...

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

uh no

He had 7 of his 17 points that year as a Sabre in the final month before the deadline but okay lmao

GMs and scouts know what these players are. A few games is not changing their opinion.

Sam Gagner scored like 13 points in a games and was basically traded for nothing. Why didn't Pittsburgh offer up Crosby?

 

[mikemcburn]

So now that I'm awake enough to realize who was in on both the Sabres goals in his first two shifts of the game, I've a prediction too - one of two things will happen post-game -

If the line Hodgson is allowed to be on the ice in the 3rd period and happens to stumble with their cold feet, Nolan's post-game presser will include a comment that infers his "fatherly disappointment" is directly squarely at Hodgson.

If the line is either not allowed on the ice or doesn't stumble, when asked about Hodgson post-game, Nolan will yet again say something along the lines of "yeah, I thought he played really well, that was his best game so far" (cuz he's never said that before, just prior to scratching the kid entirely for a bad shift as if to infer Hodgson hasn't been playing well this last stretch (again!).

Because Gaustad was acquired by Nashville for his scoring prowess.

Huge Crowd in Sunrise!

 

[Husko]

if you're at the game you miss the Suzy NYquits commercials on the Buffalo feeds, cant have that happening

I think Suzy had people bathing her even before the cancer.

 

[DrZemgus]

Torrey Mitchell with the hot hand tucking a nice pass from Moulson and its 3-3.

nah she just manages extra bathes around trade deadline to up her value to the ad campaign

 

[26CornerBlitz]

Scotty Upshaw

Who dat?

If this is the last time we're gonna see Neuvirth and Mitchell as Sabres, they're both going out strong. I'd love to bring Neuvy back in July.

 

[DrZemgus]

Torrey Mitchell would be a great player to resign this year. Always one of the hardest working players on the ice and he has finish.

Agreed. Only worries with Neuvirth are the injuries, but I can overlook that given the other options we have.

 

[mikemcburn]

And that was the Hodgson I wish he'd always be.

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

Moulson just makes terrible plays way too much

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

Moulson just makes terrible plays way too much

I cant stand wingers who cant make plays along the boards

Not to mention he's mind boggling slow

I'm a Mitchell fan that thinks he should be brought back to anchor the fourth line next year, but you're joking when you say he has "finish," right?

 

[Daz28]

I agree with your assessment, but we should target size. We'll have enough skill/go guys next year. We could use some more size with touch guys.

 

[mikemcburn]

Moulson just makes terrible plays way too much

He's done a good job of slipping under Nolan's radar most of the season, gift-wrapped dog house free treatment despite his pathetic defensive game and lack-luster offensive interest. I can only guess he's gotten away with being routinely worse than Larsson, Hodgson, etc. because of inner politics (TM's signing)? Cuz really, Moulson just ain't a Teddy guy. No umph in his game.
