Buffalo Penalty on #36 Patrick Kaleta

[OpIv37]

2:00 for being on the ice. Time of the penalty, every third shift.

That's #36 Kaleta, 2:00 for being on the ice, at every third shift.

Dude is getting the Avery treatment hardcore.

And while we're on the subject of physical play, the Sabres have Kaleta, McCormick, Gaustad, Grier, Hecht, and sometimes Luke Adam. How is it possible that they lack physical play? The only thing that I can come up with is that they have no physical blue liners at the moment.

And this is a little off-topic, but Neidermayer SUCKS. Another half-assed FA acquisition.

Sorry to complain so much after a win, but the Sabres aren't in a position to be surrendering the extra point. And the fact that Montreal was down 3 fwds makes it more difficult to swallow.

I don't mind neids.. he does his job but just can't score. He at least has a bunch of helpers, doesnt he?

8 according to Yahoo. I just see him as a 4th liner- a guy that comes in and doesn't make many mistakes, but also has virtually 0 impact.

Re: Buffalo Penalty on #36 Patrick Kaleta

Those two penalties on Kaleta were reputation penalties.

If the first one was in open ice instead of the guy hitting the boards, no penalty
If the second one the guys doesn't fall before the hit, no penalty
and how does Ennis get a goal tender interference without touching the goalie?

It was Gerbe.

But I confuse the two of them too. They definitely have a Rosencrantz and Guildenstern thing going on (and if you don't get that reference, think of Lenny and Karl from The Simpsons).

Re: Buffalo Penalty on #36 Patrick Kaleta

I guess it was Weber who got the cross checking penalty for the guy hitting the boards, not Kaleta.

I dunno, Myers sure enjoyed throwing the one guy around when he didnt have a stick.

Did you just say that Hecht is physical, because I think something is wrong with my screen? If you mean physical in the sense that he gets knocked around, then ok but he is far from physical.

I was hoping for a little physical play from the blueline as well. Morrison and Montador are the only physical ones that plays a lot. Rivet and Weber don't play very often and Sekera, Leopold and Butler don't play physical at all. Myers is starting to, which is a good sign.

And Kaleta took a stupid penalty for taking a shot well after the horn went to end the first period. Gerbe's penalty for goaltender interference was ridiculous.

Re: Buffalo Penalty on #36 Patrick Kaleta

Let me clarify: Hecht is big enough to be physical, and he should use that size and strength more.

On the positive side, Cammalleri is out 2-4 weeks. It's odd to see the Sabres take out the other team's major player for a significant amount of time instead of it happening to the Sabres.

I agree with all of this.

Montador and Weber are stout on the backend but that is about it.

Hecht is a soft too.
Gausted is pretty much a waste.

Re: Buffalo Penalty on #36 Patrick Kaleta

Gaustad wins faceoffs. he's good at something.

[OpIv37]

Re: Buffalo Penalty on #36 Patrick Kaleta

I like Goose but I have to say he's been a huge disappointment this year.

[RockStar36]

Re: Buffalo Penalty on #36 Patrick Kaleta

I've been pretty disappointed with Gerbe on the offensive side, but I liked his toughness last night. Granted Gomez didn't isn't the one who ran Miller, but he went after someone at the very least and then indirectly drew the penalty that gave them the win.

Re: Buffalo Penalty on #36 Patrick Kaleta

What is Gaustad suppoed to do besides what he is doing? Sure I would like him to kick in a few more goals, but I believe he is doing what is expected of him.
