Ive watched this team even when they were bad. I was disappointed when they got rid of Alexei Zhitnik and Miroslav Satan. Satan was my favorite player to watch but now Buffalo got Drury and hes just as good. Sabres also got a great goalie duo and good scoring players. Only part that looks week is their defense as they dont have many good D players.
Sabers all the way.
Just to panzzer betting on Canada. Didnt the US team beat Canada last winter olympics or is that the one before Im thinking of?
Nilsen, I'd give the Sabres a 80% chance of beating the Canadians tomorrow night. Took them in overtiie last night away. In our own arena and knowing their weaknesses I think we will have it. If you watch the game you'll be sure to hear the crowd chanting U.S.A. whenever Miller makes a save.
Hoarach,
Woot!!!!! Im not alone in the O'Club. Satan was one of my favorites also. Now Ive moved on to Afiniganov, absolute amazing stick handling. As for defense, we 're not that badoff. Believe we are in top 5 for killing power plays. Also, Jay Mckee and Griere do their share of good D. Not the best in the NHL, but enough for the time being. Their was a locla tv rumor that Biron was going to be traded for Mark Reechi. Imagine putting him on a line with Afiniganov. Only major thing I see the Sabres missing is a player(s) that can get shot on net with the break away one timers and off the rebounds. Seems that the team is plagued with wide and fanned on shots.
