PromoTheRobot Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Take a few hours and forget about our other sad sack pro franchise. In case you have not been following the NHL, the Sabres are 2-0-1. They have outshot their opponents by nearly 2-1 but have only scored 4 goals, but Ryan Miller has only allowed 3 goals in 3 games. Also their #1 pick, D Tyler Myers is already being hailed as one of the NHL's breakout players. It's on Versus at 7pm. Enjoy. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 the sabres organization looks like the New England Patriots after immersing myself in the misery of the Bills the past 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTS Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Myers is easily Calder Trophy material (rookie of the year) and I suspect he will be in the running for a good share of Norris Trophies in the coming years. I hate that I get this excited about a young player but it's hard not to when you see him play. I like the direction Lindy has taken the team. They are better defensively, Miller is a rock and the offense is still good ... it's due to erupt for some goals sooner rather than later. Let's hope this will be a season like 2005-06 where they came out of nowhere. They definitely have the pieces to make a lot of noise, it's just a matter of showing up on a nightly basis.

PTS Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 the sabres organization looks like the New England Patriots after immersing myself in the misery of the Bills the past 3 days. The sad part is they were becoming the NHL's Patriots a few years ago. But instead of keeping their studs, they bet on the young guns and that plan backfired the last two seasons. Maybe we'll see the payoff now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just told them to hurry up and get VS back. I'm afraid, this fight will be very long. If we're lucky, VS will be back for the playoffs, but I'm not counting on it.

shrader Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 It's more of a rhetorical question than anything, but could the Sabres have any better timing in doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed83HOF Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I loved how they mentioned the Sabres are passing better than the Bills and Trent... The sad part is is that its true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I did get my Center Ice 50% off since they didn't have Versus but that isn't helping me tonight. WTF. Didn't chase them for any money. Damn Comcast owns Versus so their screwing DTV around I guess. Kinda ridiculous having to watch the Sharks opener on the internet because it was on Versus. Was looking forward to the Sabre game tonight and couldn't see that one. Should really call them and whine I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 If the Sabres score another goal, they could have beaten the Browns! With the score at 6, it would have went into OT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By far the best DVR in the business. The only knock on it is they don't have NFL Sunday Ticket but they do have NFL RedZone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
