Hitting The Links: Buffalo Sauce Edition

PrintThe Bruins head to Buffalo to take on the Sabres tonight. It should be fun, this is probably the most interesting of all the divisional rivalries this year. Let's face it: Montreal is boring this year, the Leafs are always good for a chuckle but meh, and Ottawa is never tres exciting. But games against Buffalo come with lots of Ryan Miller drama and nonsense! Therefore, they are my preferred divisional games of choice this year.
After the jump, win a date with Tyler Seguin. Yes, I'm serious. No, this isn't a joke.

I would assume it had to do with deleting the ‘Why Timmy’ fanpost. Though why the others are no longer shown on the top page is beyond me.

nah, it’s site-wide. all the SBN sites having troubles. Btw, the fanpost URLs are still live, just no links in the sidebar for some reason
Yea, I realized as much regarding the URL’s. No biggie.

Wouldn’t it be an oligarchy?
After all, we readers and commenters didn’t vote on the above-reference ‘we’.

just because you’re not asked doesn’t mean your opinion isn’t considered.
and don’t give me that shit
just like I do, you spew your opinion all over these pages, there’s not a ton of guesswork involved here. And it appears that the guess was correct. Unless you’re mad the fanpost was taken down without you saying it should be taken down…

You completely lost me with the talk of guesses etc. I honestly haven’t the faintest idea what you are referring to.
The oligarchy bit above was a joke, as was the outvoted comment but I was sincerely confused by the ‘we voted’ bit. I’m not mad the fanpost was taken down… I am indifferent. It is of no impact to me.

Agreed. And I could understand if a vote were undertaken by the editors and contributors listed at the bottom of every article. I just wasn’t aware of such an occurrence, thus the question.

Aww man. I’ve been banned from Tim Thomas’ facebook page. He’s censoring me! A Free Citizen unable to exercise his right to free speech!
It’s amazing how often the concepts of freedom of expression is misunderstood.

Your free speech doesn’t coincide with his free speech, apparently. It is another “Why Timmy?” moment.
Did you react to this facebook post? http://blogs.thescore.com/nhl/2012/02/08/what-the-heck-is-tim-thomas-doing-to-himself/
Yup. in pretty innocuous fashion too. Ah well. Wish he’d shut up so we can just go back to talking bout how good he is at this whole hockey thing
Me too....
Let’s just get back to hockey and f—- all political talk….I am sure the media is just keeping the story going and going and going….
Oh god, are we back to Why Timmy.
Here’s a nice story on Patrice’s concussion recovery; http://thegoodpoint.com/2012/02/patrice-bergeron-concussion/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=patrice-bergeron-concussion
from DOY;
Lucic uses Gaustad as a punching bag. BTW, the best comment I’ve read about this fight on YouTube: “That’ll teach Lucic. You run our goalie, and at a later date, you’ll get to punch one of our guys in the face for about a minute. #Justice” Amazing.

Love it!!! :)
Only thing funnier is Gaustad and Patches insulting each other over who did more… :)

Ryan Miller, Buffalo Sabres – Plenty of teams will be making offers for the star goaltender but they probably won’t even have their calls returned, since nobody who takes a run at Ryan Miller ever gets a response

You know what one of the funniest things about the Miller-Lucic Incident was for me?
The fact that Ryan Miller knew EXACTLY what the weight difference was between himself and Milan. Seriously, how many players would have this information and could recall it at a moment’s notice? This is both funny and creepy that Ryan would know this, but to be that exact, wow!
he got it wrong, though

Actually;
According to Yahoo, Milan Lucic weighs 228lbs, and Ryan Miller weighs 175lbs…
Of course, that is not taking equipment into account…
Well when lucic went on the radio he corrected him, it was off by like 10 pounds

Not just yahoo. I checked NHL.com and hockey-reference… both had 175 and 220 as listed weights.

JL: Hello?
BS: Hello Jordan, this is Brendan Shanahan, you got a second?
JL: Yes Mr. Shanahan.
BS: Jordan, I am going to have to suspend you for the next 5 games for your dangerous and reckless clip of Lindy Ruff.
JL: What? Coach? But, that was practice (we are talking about practice?)? He is on my team? What? I don’t get it?
BS. Sorry Jordan, we are cracking down on Clipping and we judged your actions to be both dangerous and reckless, goodbye Jordan…
Jordan Leopold Confused look on his face? Starts to wonder if he has been pranked by a teammate? Still has the phone in his hands…

Anyone else feel that Krejci and Kelly switching lines is more about getting something out of the 3rd line than anything else? Krejci may have cooled off a bit but nothing like the 3rd line.
Yes, me. Let’s give Pouliot and Caron a chance with a playmaking center. Not to take anything away from Kelly, but first and foremost he’s a defensive guy. Why not mix it up while Horton recovers? God knows, Julien doesn’t mess with his lines very often.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to try and get Lucic, a 30-goal scorer, going better rather than focus on two 10-goal scorers? If offensive opportunities are desired for those two, wouldn’t it make more sense to pair them with Lucic and Krejci?

At one point, Claude did move Pouliot up to that line. He did OK. But let’s face it, Lucic, Krejci, Horton, together and separately are all streaky. We’ve been in something of a funk, why not roll the dice. It very well could pay off down the road. There really is nothing to lose. Another thought in the back of Julien’s head may be that Lucic could feel shame for up to 5 minutes at a time tonite, so trying to keep him and Krejci together may not be entirely in his control.
Good point with Lucic likely being in the box at some point tonight. I just don’t see this as an instance of trying to spark the 3rd line but instead as a means of waking Krejci up (I believe he is the only regular with a – rating)

Horton..
Me thinks (and I hate to say it) he may be done for the regular season. I certainly hope Chia goes out and gets a “valid” winger to replace him and not just some “depth” player.
All depends on what the asking cost of that ‘valid’ winger is…

Agreed. The same statement could have been made of Bergeron after he received his second concussion (by running into Seidenberg’s shoulder) and he returned later that season.
