GDT: #03 – Sabres at Canes – Thu Jan 24 – 7:00PM ET – TV: MSG-B – Radio: WGR-AM

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Canes GDT has Corvo sitting tonight with Sanguinetti in the lineup

Which is basically spotting you guys a goal Sanguinetti has been atrocious. I wish you the worst of luck tonight, but stay healthy so you can beat the rest of the teams in the Northeast for me. Whiny Canadian fans are almost as cute as whiny Sabres fans

As much as I hate to admit it, KSyl didn't grate me as much as he has in the past, but that could be just because Hamilton was soooo terrible in the opener.

Getting real sick of you Sylvester..

Go Sabres!

That one goal against Tampa he let Lecavailler just walk out front with it, then didn't even pick up the second man in who scored on the rebound.

Was Hamilton really that bad? I loved him when he did the Phoenix game a few years ago...though he was the best of the "replacement" guys when RJ didn't take those Western Road Trips. He has an agenda as an analyst for sure, but I though he did a fantastic job at PxP...and then never called anything after that.

For the record... the Canes GDT for today's game is the funniest thing i've ever seen on hf...

He's honestly not that bad. Have you heard some of the regular, full-time PbP guys other teams need to deal with? I'd say he'd be a middle-of-the-road announcer compared to the entire 30 that are out there.

We've just been utterly spoiled by having the GOAT calling games for the past 40 years.

Just checked it out myself. Outstanding.

I didn't even notice him in the Toronto game, so that's a good thing. Rayzor I noticed quite a few times, he's still getting comfortable with trying to have something to say when Sylvester needs a break. TBH, I would have preferred Duffer in that role and keep Ray between the benches.

Good to see my username is still relevant a year later...

I could be wrong, but I think he's going to remain between the benches for home games, like how Pierre is the color analyst from between the benches for NBC broadcasts.

Best part. The woman doing, "HERCULES! HERCULES!"

 

[RiotAct]

Sabres - 6

Luckercanes 4

Hodgson x2, Ott, Vanek, Regehr and Foligno for the good guys

Rayzor would be a lot better if he could understand the difference between the words "saw" and "seen". As in "Miller seen the puck coming from the point". Drives me insane and now I can't stop focusing on it...

I'm getting from this post that you don't believe in Nacho Burn, through research i can say it is a real phenomenon. The cheese is known to be very hot and doubles in temperature after half of the said nachos have been consumed. It's not funny and it affects thousands of people every year.

Note; Hockey jerseys are known to act as a catalyst for the burning sensation as does dropping from a height.

I can't think of many things more terrifying than Na(cho)palm.

 

[Deevo]

Is Enroth confirmed?

It's a Canadian thing, don't even get me started.

Sly wasn't bad until the Scott fight. Then the homerism overcame him and Ray.

 

[SackTastic]

Is Enroth confirmed?

Yes.

 

[Deevo]

Yes.

Merci.

 

[Paxon]

Glad this is the one they went with Enroth for. Let Miller delight the home crowd, get Enroth his first action with less pressure in a... half-home crowd. Thought Ruff was wise to give Miller both games of the first back-to-back and made the right call here as well. Here's to hoping he manages the 'tenders well all season.

Seriously, anybody reading this needs to go over there and check it out. Comedy gold.

At Game 7 of the 2006 ECF in Raleigh (I was lucky enough to be there), the fan giveaway was a Hurricanes nice beer glass, but instead of a plastic one like in most cities, it was actual glass. Fueled by the heart-wrenching loss and a tailgate party that had been going since 1 in the afternoon, a not-super-tiny number of drunken buffalo fans proceeded to smash the glasses on the ground outside the arena after the game. Several were arrested. It's not like more than a couple dozen bozos were doing it, but that's enough to create a stereotype. That series had seen a lot of AM-radio-fueled cousin-marrying and armpit-of-the-USA jokes too, so tensions were already pretty high.

The myth has grown over the years to include things like abducting women and eating babies, but suffice it to say the Canes fans don't much care for the buffalo transplants who take over their arena twice a year.

They were handing them out after Game 1. I declined to take one although they pretty cool.

happy with this as well, next week will be interesting

@Wsh Sun
Tor Tue
@Bos Thu
@Mon Sat
Fla Sun

I hope Miller gets Wsh, Bos & Tor since none are b2b. Enroth @ Mon and Miller v Fla.

Yeah, I suddenly have too much time on my hands... Regular reader though.

Aside, that Canes board GDT started off great, but it looks like it's heading down the nascar & bbq track.
