Hopefully we can crack Luongo early... we should be alright if we do.

Unless that Rory Fitzpatrick gets going... that boy is so good he should be an all star!

Re: Canucks @ Sabres Gameday thread!!

Scratch that part about cracking Luongo... he's not playing tonight. We get the backup making only his 4th start I believe they said. Good for us I would think!

Somebody needs to tell them one goal and one period make more than a game. They looks totally opposite than they did in the first. Unbelievable.

Im pissed that pyatt now stands in front of the net for vancover why the hell couldn't he do that while he played here?

Re: Canucks @ Sabres Gameday thread!!

That 2nd was pathetic. Paestche blamed it on penalties. They got penalties cause they totally stopped skating. That period hurt to watch.

Re: Canucks @ Sabres Gameday thread!!

Pyatt couldn't find the front of the net with a map and now he lives there?

Re: Canucks @ Sabres Gameday thread!!

Friends, this team flat out stinks right now. There is no other way to say it. Ruff has his hands full with this bunch of guys. They do not want to play all 60 minutes. For those of you who think the Sabres don't need to make a trade, I don't know which hockey team you are watching because it sure as hell isn't the team I'm watching!

Re: Canucks @ Sabres Gameday thread!!

this team went on a tear last year because they rolled 3 equally good lines. and a fourth that was better then most teams 3rd lines Now on any given night we can only get two to show up.

It's because the players aren't as good. We don't have Connolly, Dumont or Grier. Novotny is average at best and Peters is a waste of a roster spot. You know how you get this team going...shake it up. Don't sit back and just assume that they are good enough when it looks like the league is starting to change back to the way it was before the lockout. There are a lot less abstruction calls and teams are getting away with murder again. This team is not built to win in that environment. I truly hate the NHL and how they don't keep everything the same from game to game. Bettman is a dumbass who is going to kill the game.

Re: Canucks @ Sabres Gameday thread!!

Hey, be a homer, but open your eyes. This team has played terrible for the past 2 months. The only reason they're at the top of the standings is because they played amazing the first month or so of the season. If you can't see that then you truly don't know what you're talking about.
