Lalalaloser Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 [quote name='CC97' date='Friday, February 23rd, 2007 - 13:20:32' post='704727'the terribly homeriffic Sabres PBP team The Sabres have one of the best play by play guys in the league in Rick Jeanneret. He has an incredible passion for the game and does get very excited for his team, but what play by play guy doesnt. He is very fair calling games. I have heard much worse homers than Jeanneret, that barely even make a noise when the other team scores, Jeanneret does his best to get excited for that.

leedsunited Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 There was nothing underhanded or maliciousRe-examine the players that each team put out there for the next face off... watch what all the Sabres players do once the puck is dropped.It is clear what Ruff had planned.And the Sens are big boys. Muscle up or whine about it. Some of 'em did the former (Emery, gotta love that) and some did the latter (waah waah, coach). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmackman Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 That fight just had to ruin the game where Buffalo wore the throwbacks.Ruin!?! This was my favorite hockey game of the season! If this happened more frequently, more people would buy tickets and watch on TV. I love hockey for the sport that it is, and I still will watch any game at anytime. However, situations like this add "flavor" to the game that just can't be ignored. The NHL needs to get itself more coverage on ESPN, and it needs to attract more casual fans. This is one way to do that. I know so many people who said they don't like hockey anymore because they just don't fight enough. I think this is a perfect example of why fighting should be brought back to the level of the mid-90's. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.

SG30 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 This was easily the greatest game yet as a Sabres fan this season. Too bad the Buffchester Saberks have another injury with Dru possibly concussed...The hit was unnecessary, dirty, and cheap, but it wasn't deserving of a penalty. The Sens fans are talking like the hit littlest thing in the word. The Sabres fans are saying that its huge. Its in between. Murray kept saying it was 100% legal and there was nothing wrong with it and that Neil wasn't targeting Drury like it looks like. Lindy Ruff's emotions got the better of him when putting out our tough guys, and he admitted it. NEITHER TEAM WAS AN GROUP OF ANGELS LAST NIGHT.

TFoA Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Lesson to remember...Don't challenge goalies who are fans of Mike Tyson.Ray Emery isn't your normal goalie, by any stretch. In an interview, he gleefully admitted to practicing boxing for this very reason, in addition to sneaking into the locker room early and changing the CDs to Rap, the one genre of music the team agrees they don't like, as well as turning up the volume all the way.Everyone loves Razor Ray. I now have a new favorite hockey player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is a perfect example of why fighting should be brought back to the level of the mid-90's.Yeah, but come on. Do you really want every game to have a bench-clearing brawl? I guess it was 'entertaining' but get serious. I don't mind a scrap here and there. Some fights are warranted, I get it. But maybe I'm one of those 'sissies' that would much rather see a beautiful one-timer, a great give-and-go etc. etc... FINESSE hockey, than a throwback to the over-gooned idiot hockey of fifteen years ago. No wonder the UFC is so popular. No rules, no sport, no honor...just a lot of blood and fans clapping like seals. If people are turning away from the NHL because it's not violent enough, they're not fans in the first place. I say good riddance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred T. Jane Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 you cant call emer gay "rayzor" thats rob rays monicker, and i know for damn sure who would win that fight.That's why they call him "Razor," proper punctuation, capitalization, and spelling and all... [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

-Helix- Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 That fight just had to ruin the game where Buffalo wore the throwbacks.Ruin!?! This was my favorite hockey game of the season! If this happened more frequently, more people would buy tickets and watch on TV.That's not exactly a good thing. Although good for the league - true hockey fans like myself would just be constantly annoyed by the idiotic casual fans who know nothing about the sport and just watch for the fights. And although the league would grab more casual Wrestlemania run-over fans, the league would probably be taken even LESS seriously by the media. When the NHL's interest and popularity was growing in the late 80's/early 90's they were complimented on by the media because of the decreased amount of fighting that made hockey actually look like a true sport instead of just some gimmick filled fights-on-ice like it was in the 70's and early 80's.I hate when I go to games and the people around me only stand up and cheer when there's a fight. The home team scores a goal and they could care less, they just want to watch people beat the crap out of eachother. All I can think of is "Why the hell would you go to a hockey game then? Watch boxing or UFC or something. Hockey is a real sport."I have nothing against fighting and it's a great way of exemplifying the emotion and passion of hockey - it's just the people that think "fighting is part of the game" that annoy me. Fighting occurs AFTER the whistle, when the HOCKEY ends, and is therefore no part of the game of hockey. Some of the best hockey the league has ever seen has been played these last couple of years. Those who are disinterested with the "New NHL" were obviously never true fans of the actual SPORT of hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 It is part of the game. Even though it happens after the whistle, it is an aspect of the game of hockey, and one that must be considered by players during the game.But maybe I'm one of those 'sissies' that would much rather see a beautiful one-timer, a great give-and-go etc. etc... FINESSE hockey, than a throwback to the over-gooned idiot hockey of fifteen years ago.You can have both, you know. It's just that every now and then you need a bench-clearer to shake things up. And we can't have too much emphasis on "finesse," or else hockey gets soccerfied. Basketball has been soccerfied. Who saw THAT coming? "Oh no, my head, you hurt it, so bad." ugh. Thanks, Ginobili.

jkrdevil Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 Well Buffalo-Ottawa are playing another nice friendly game tonight. 11:21 to go in the second and already 2 fight probably more to come with Ottawa up 4-1. It's on CBC in Canada, MSG in Buffalo, Center Ice every where else, and Sopcast on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG30 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Sens win 6-5.Buffalo outplayed them in the 3rd, its just that Miller had a bad bounce off the boards that gave Spezza an empty net. I'm amazed that Ottawa allowed us to catch up like we did. We have 7 guys hurt. We aren't supposed to loose games 6-5. On paper, we lost 6-0.

I'm amazed that Ottawa allowed us to catch up like we did. We have 7 guys hurt. We aren't supposed to loose games 6-5. On paper, we lost 6-0.That's because Ottawa was stupid and kept starting fights with Buffalo (at least judging from the clips on ESPN). I thought the theory was that if you're winning big you aren't supposed to start fights because it might energize the other team.
