sabres up 4-1 over colorado after 1st period
agilen replied to rolly's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Was it just me, or was that just about the worst home-job you've ever seen in a hockey game? Until that last penalty on the avs, the sabres had only had 1 55 second power play in the entire game...and the avs had i think 6 or 7 power plays. There was a questionable penalty shot called that the avs tied the game on, and a goal called off on the sabres, saying Drury threw it into the net with his hand....but it hit the goalie before it went into the net, so i think it should have been a goal (not sure on the rule there). Also, the thing that got me really pissed was the sabres were killing a penalty with about 7 minutes left in the game, and Derek Roy skated down into the Avs corner to try and hold the puck, and he was mugged, pushed, and held by _3_ avs players while the puck sat in the corner and waited for the 4th av player to pick it up. If that is not interference, then I don't know what is.... But anyway, we pulled it out in the end, because they couldn't not call that last penalty on the avs, and our power play is sweet, so great win by Buffalo. -
We made one up while watching a Notre Dame game, because we were so sick of the Charlie Weis love-fest that accompanies every single one of their games. Its got a lot less rules than yours, but will get you equally as wasted: Every time they say "Charlie Weis", you take a drink Every time they show Weis on TV, you must begin to chug until the camera cuts to something else Every time they mention Tom Brady, you must finish your drink. Its pretty tough to make it though one half of this.

Okay, I can eat my words from yesterday a little bit...I thought Vanek put a lot more effort into it tonight, even though he didn't end up on the scoresheet. I do like that line with Roy and Max, though I'd like to see what Vanek can do with Kotalik and Connelly.
-
Haha, "boxing day". The canucks do that one too, although in recent years they have opened the malls and its become one of their biggest shopping days of the year. In the US we don't have that holiday, although this year since Christmas is on a sunday, we will have "boxing day" off.
-
Yes, he is the biggest guy on that line. Max and Roy are both better skaters than Vanek is, so he should be the one working in the corners, getting it to them in open ice, then getting himself open for a feed. Thats what power forwards do, and that is what Vanek needs to do to be successful on that line.
-
He has been getting chances, but a lot of times, if he would take one or two more steps he'd have a much better chance. Also, he isn't playing as physically as he should be...on a line with Roy and Max, he should be the one in the corner banging away for the puck. He got sat on his ass by Poapst late in the game (Poapst got a questionable penalty on the play, but Vanek really looked weak on the play). He has the size and the skill, he just needs to hustle more.

Roy was playing with Max and Vanek tonight. Roy and Max both had great games and looked really good together. Vanek didn't look so hot....I almost feel that if we get JP and Briere back soon, Vanek should spend a week or two in Rochester, and we can keep Pominville up. He just isn't working hard enough and needs a wakeup call. Everyone else is stepping up their game too, for the most part. Connelly had a bad game tonight, but has been playing well. Grier has been a great penalty killer, and although Hecht has been somewhat dissapointing, he played well tonight. Gaustad has been great all year, and I'm starting to like Mair a lot, as he works hard and is a surprisingly good playmaker from behind the net.

I'll be there! I haven't been to the Ralph since it was Rich Stadium, so I'm looking forward to it.

Xmas-lights: Too much time on his hands...
agilen replied to Dan Gross's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Wow, that was cool! I'm sure that wasn't in real time, but does anyone remember when they'd light up that building in Niagara Falls during the festival of lights to the beverly hills cop theme song? I used to love that as a kid. -
You need to play Madden '06, then you'll get it

Believe it or not, I think i actually saw one of these (or something very similar) at McFadden's on sunday. This woman was wearing it, and i remember thinking, where on earth did she find that? Did anybody else see that? I had had more than a few drinks, but I think that was the 'jersey' i saw.

http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showtopic=34873 I wouldn't really call them "trolls"...they seemed to be pretty informed fans, and didn't talk any trash.

Do you think Crowell will replace Posey next year when TKO comes back?

There is a trick that works occassionally....what you do is select Punt Block as your play. Your guys will line up to block the punt, and the computer will audible to a max protect formation. Then, you audible to a regular punt return, which i believe is right trigger, but you'll have to check. This way, the other team won't run any gunners down towards you, but you will have blockers downfield. But beware, your blockers have a tendency to not block anyone until you actually catch the ball, so even if they have a wall in front of you, often they will let the defenders walk right past them and hit you.

Terrence McGee is listed as questionable on the injury report today: http://www.buffalobills.com/team/injury.jsp I didn't even know he was hurt, does anybody have any more info on this?
-
The opening of family guy last night was classic. Thats one thing I don't think they did before this year, but so far we've had the law & order opening, and the naked gun opening.
-
Matt Schoebel is on there....is he any good? I'd guess that he would like to play with his brother, and Everett is unproven...why not cut the rest of the TE's and get some new blood in here?

Don't forget Viper came back to fly this souped up SR-71 into the tornadoes. Yes, this movie is incredibly cheesy...but I think its better than The Day After Tomorrow.....that movie was just freaking boring....and come on, being attacked by wolves in manhattan? At least Category 7 has hot actresses.

I think that because of players like Michael Vick, the NFL's rules for "protecting" the quarterback need to go. He is one of the best athletes in the game, and its just not fair at all that when he takes off running, the defense has to be worried about letting up if he slides....because if you let up on a player like that, he is going to burn you. Unfortunately, there are QBs in the league who do need the protection afforded by those rules, but hey, its football, its a physical game. Its not worth giving Michael Vick an extra advantage that he doesn't really need so that you can protect an old or unathletic quarterback who can't take a hit.

So I'm sitting here watching Spike TV
agilen replied to /dev/null's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Nah, the Joe Schmoe Show (and Joe Shmoe 2) rocked. -
Ah, one of Buffalo's finest. Has anybody seen Buffalo '66? Its weird in a creepy sort of way.

I went Sirius because of football and hockey, however in 2 years, hockey will be exclusively on XM :-( But, I'm okay with missing a few hockey games, but I want to at least listen to every football game. Breuer Unleashed is also a great show, and the Radio Chick has a show at 10am on Sirius too...i don't think XM has as good of radio personalities.

Speaking of potatoes...has anybody here
agilen replied to taterhill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I love poutine. You can get it at places like burger king in Canada. Just don't eat it if you plan on being hungry again later :-D -
Thanks a lot for organizing the tailgate. As much as the game sucked, we had a great time partying with you guys before (and after for those who stuck around). I thought the raiders fans weren't too bad....where we were sitting, they were all pretty into the game, stood up the whole time (which I like), and they knew their football. We made friends with them and by the second quarter we were buying each other drinks, so there weren't any problems with obnoxious people. I'll try to post some pictures next week when I get back home. --Greg
