11/2 GDT : Red Wings 2 at Sabres 3 (SO)

[kipwinger 8,524]

His contract is better than the 4.25 that both Quincey and Big E are on.

I don't agree. He's worse defensively and is producing no more offense. Last year he produced similar offense to Dekeyser and was way worse defensively. How's that good value for money?

[TheXym 2,606]

So... size DOESN'T matter?!!! Girls... I tell ya.

No really, I'm right there with you on Myers. If he could be had for a song, I'd take 'em... but that's not the case. He'll cost you in cap-space and he'll cost you players/picks. Not worth it.

Weiss and a third rounder. That'd be a no-brainer for Kenny.

[rick zombo 3,739]

Don't anybody blame the fourth line. Smith turned the puck over in the D-zone. He's been good tonight but that was on him.

I actually blame all six players on the ice for that goal.

You can't possibly believe that. If he was leading his team, I'd agree. He's not, so I call bulls***.

What kip said. So much more eloquent.

Howard prevented a bad pass goal there.

[Euro_Twins 4,476]

Nice play by lashoff there.....

[Ekmanc 586]

Why is the fourth line playing at all with 4minutes left???

[TheXym 2,606]

Kindl tackled no call.

Put Quincey, Big E, or Dek on the cluster F that is Buffalo and they will look worse.

Anyone else just not thrilled with Jurco? We all bought the hype but he's always been the weak link of the kid line and I don't remember ever being wowed. Obviously he's still young but based on what he's shown so far in his NHL career he's looking more like a Brunnstrom or Leino to me. Only not scoring as much but working harder.

He's 21. Give him time. Look how long it took Abdelkader to develop his game. Jurco is good on the boards, hits, and plays well in the crease. For that alone I'd give him a couple years. Hell, at 21 Tomas Tatar couldn't even get a cup of coffee in the NHL. He's still developing.

But agreed that it's be nice for him to get it going like last year.

If that had been Kindl who turned the puck over you would have been leading the mob with pitch forks and torches, not "blaming all six players".

Well said, he's at least working hard and not coasting.

No kidding. They play way too much at even strength.

[e_prime 1,936]

So nice of us to gift the Sabres a point and letting it get to OT.

Lets just ensure it's ONLY ONE FRIGGING POINT.

These are the games that have hurt the wings the past couple years. Letting lesser teams get them into OT where they can steal points. Should have been an easy two in regulation.

[Euro_Twins 4,476]

Buffalo must be pissed. Trying to tank the season and we give them a point.

[zztop40 80]

Oh bull**** overtime!

[TheXym 2,606]

Not happy about going to OT, but at least the boys have at least a point. Time to get number two before the shootout.

Not really Kip. Smith was definitely the number one culprit on that one, but they were all standing around like zombies. I thought it was Halloween all over again. Andersson had a chance to male a play at the Sabres blue line earlier in the shift and he was pretty nonchalant, turned the puck over and that started it all.

It’s all good though, I’m not pissed or anything. I wasn’t trying to be confrontational either. I was being honest when I said I blamed all of them, including Howard.

I'm not so much concerned with giving Buffalo one point but more with us not getting two. These are the lost points that might bite us back at the end of the season if we don't win those supposed easy games.

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Hang tough Jimmy.

[VM1138 1,921]

I wasn't saying Jurco is bad, just that I'm not seeing his potential any more. As of right now he's just another fourth line grinder type.

I have to disagree Smith had back side of net. Danny might be more at fault. But a minus is a minus

[e_prime 1,936]

PP in OT

Where's BoS to make that into something filthy?

[Franzine 739]

I hope they didn't dry-scrape Zetterberg's beard.

[VM1138 1,921]

No kidding. They play way too much at even strength.

Amen. They play something like 5 minutes too much every night, and at the worst possible times.
