The Good -

- Scoring first again.
- Getting three... again.
- Varone looked solid in his first game. There was a lot of smart play there, I'd like to see him not yanked for Lame-o late in the game.
- Myers rush and some continued physical play.

The Bad -

- Enroth on the GWG.
- Losing a guy like Semin due to a bad change.

The Ugly -

- Temps around the north east. Polar Vortex... **** off.

G:
-Stafford with all kinds of jump again tonight. Build that trade value....
-Myers still beasting
-Liked Varone's game
-I miss Suckurah, he's better than Ehrhoff :(
-CoHo with another nice goal
-Thought Foligno looked better

B:
-Enroth, if you want a #1 job, you have to be more consistent
-Tallinder needs to win that puck on Semin's second goal
-Waive Konopka when McCormick is back, waste of a roster spot

U:
-Ehrhoff/Suckzer combo
-Brind'Amour

Bon:

-Varone's play.

-Myers' continued play. I sure hope GM Murray really can put together a non-5 year rebuild because I would hate to see the Sabres waste his fine play during a half decade of fallow years.

-The Ice appeared to be suitably frozen.

Mal:

-Nolan's continued use of Ville Leino. What, are you channelling Andy Kaufman as NHL coach? Do you think Ville Leino is some kind of punch-line to a joke nobody quite understands? We get it, he sucks, don't pretend that isn't the case by giving him PP time.

-Goaltending on both sides was less than stellar.

-For a game that had 8 goals, it wasn't very entertaining.

G.
Stafford looked great, pucks sticking to his stick
Ennis still looking crazy with the puck
Myers for most of the game,
Hodgson winning battles and skating good
Girgs played solid

B. Ott didn't impress me tonight, the puck "jumped" his stick a lot
Did Foligno get a hit tonight?
Meyers on the third goal, can't have both D men behind the net

U. ooo Enroth, please do something with that 5 hole, fought the puck tonight.

Hodgson has played his best hockey as a Sabre since returning from injury. Even without the goal, he was creating much of the night. I'm glad Girgensons is on that line.

B - Leaky D.

U - Alka-Sulzer is not an NHL defenseman. Jhonas.

Boy they really do some good stuff down there in Dallas. Loved when they played the Guille from Street Fighter theme song during a fight. Then in the same game they played the training anthem from Mike Tyson punch-out during another fight. :handclap:

Good:

-- Verone. Veronay. De money. Demoney. Call him what you want. He created chances, or they just seemed to follow him around. Impressive debut.
-- Stafford, just quietly doing the little things that make him our best two-way forward (then again, look at the competition).
-- Leino. Why TF not? Couple good shots, a nice set up, a nice check, a near miss -- Houston, we got a pulse. At least for a night.
-- Hodgson, Ennis. Both created opportunities on the offensive side of the ledger.
-- Weber playing with a little verve. But as always with this guy, we need to see follow through.
-- Myers.

Bad:

-- Girgenson seemed off.
-- Sulzer/Ehrhoff struggled, or Ehrhoff struggled lugging his fellow countryman around. What's the German word for "dead weight?"
-- Enroth with a couple brain farts. The Sekera goal was sad. His play mirrors his confidence which mirrors a roller coaster.

Ugly:

-- The ticky-tac penalty calling, the calls that never were but that should have been, etc. What's new?
-- Sekera's GWG, 2 assists, and +4, a leader in minutes, etc. I hope Compher was worth it.

G: Foligno, Ellis and Stafford winning nearly every battle they got in.
Myers was the best defenseman on the ice.
Varone getting a point and in pretty good position throughout.
MES line creating a lot of chances.
Coho's passing is just phenomenal. And his slapper is no slouch either.

B: Girgs looked like a 19 year old with the puck.
Varone looked like it was his first game when he had the puck.
Enroth has to get at least one of those.

U: Sulzer.

G:
-Enroth in the 1st period
-On the MES line: Ennis and Stafford in the first period or two
-Sekera
-Konopka- 1st point as a Sabre. Nice pass - assist despite being on the bench when the goal was scored. 11-17 faceoffs 65%
-Ellis- best player on the 4th line, sadly
-Islanders losing
-Varone: first NHL point! A few scoring chances
- RJ: proud of you that you can change up a name pronunciation after years of calling it different.
- Ott banging Skinner

B:
- Ott back check on goal against
- Sulzer bad pass on goal against
- Moulson losing man on goal against

Varone looked much like he does down in Rochester. Decent with the puck, works hard, hustles, etc. He looked like he held back a little with the puck, but once he gets confidence that could change. I hope he gets more than a few games up here. He's been great in Rochester for the past 3 years, so hopefully he can get a few dozen up in Buffalo and prove himself.

He'll be back down in Rochester by February 8th.

Dallas does it right. I remember a time when every team did stuff like that.

Like when a team would get a penalty they'd play that DUN DUN-DUN-DUN DUN DUN-DUN-DUN-DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN song

Or when a team would score against Carolina they'd play Say it ain't so by weezer

When Ottawa would score, they'd have a guy saying SCORES SCORES SCORES over and over

Or when a call goal review took too long they'd play the jeopardy song
