Odd. I thought he was pretty solid the entire game.
Listening to the presser. Did anyone catch the "He was frustrated by the way the season was going. He didnt like the way the club was competing" by Nolan regarding Ott.
Completely weird to look behind the bench and see Ted standing back there. Surreal.
I enjoy the posters who want to reluctantly trade Franson for a top center. "Well I guess we can trade Mike Weber for a 30 goal scoring winger... if it has to be done."Go on the Leafs board, if you really want to enjoy. Don't comment, that's asking for trouble.
I know what you mean, it's great isn't it?
Yeah...why?
You surprised?

@ExtraSkater With Ehrhoff on ice at 5v5, shots were 10-9 Sabres. Without him they were 19-7 Leafs
That coach was the number one thing that got DR fired. Once the ownership found out that the had a mutiny on TP hands he had to pull the trigger.That it was publicly said? Yes.
I've cant remember the last time I've seen a bunch of players throw a coach under the bus so publicly. It also speaks to Otts work effort which we already knew about. Add to the good only 33 shots against.
Ditto. And there's this: http://twitter.com/ExtraSkater/status/401544305627508736
...Was this the first home game against the Leafs that you've ever experienced?
B
Our arena packed with laughs fan. wtf?
Been to one in person. Never been as many as tonight. It was 70/30 in the lower bowl.
Edit: The 2011 Roy OT Game in April. Free box seats. Best. Game. Ever.
Think there's a lot of rose-tinted glasses here due to the new coach and the result. They were still outshot and outpossessed (by the corsi metric anyway)...quite badly after the first period against a poor possession team in their own right who was extremely thin down the middle.
Good -
- Beating the Leafs. They can lose a lot of games, but man, that feels good.
- Half-priced martinis. Holy. Crap.
- Cabs.
- Updates here and from Sabres.com during dinner.
- Meeting someone who went to college in B'lo while standing at the bar. WNYers are ****ing everywhere. I joke that we are the modern diaspora... but it's true.
Bad -
- Let's not get our hopes up. Most teams get a bounce when there is a coaching change, let's see where they are in a few nights when the newness wears off. Or they play a team not missing their first, second, AND third line centers.
Ugly -
- I got nothing. Queuing up the game right now and wondering where all the beer went from the fridge. Oh, yeah, THAT guy drank it the other night while watching Rolston's **** show.
That is very typical. Its the way many season ticket holders pay for their tickets.
Say season tickets -2 tickets--were $4000
you sell tickets to 8 of Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, vancouver, Detroit, Boston, Rangers, and Pittsburgh games for $500 per game.
The remaining 33 games cost you $0.

Yep I think most people realize this. Some of the fans that expect us to be a playoff team next year will be surprised by it and probably blame Regier for the next 5 years. This team is still going to lose a lot more than they win. But they'll try on a much more consistent basis.Think there's a lot of rose-tinted glasses here due to the new coach and the result.

I don't expect an awful team like the Sabres to outshoot or outpossess anyone. They don't have the players for it right now. Win or lose, I just want them to compete hard and make it tough on the other team. A bad team can still be watchable. That was the case tonight, and they beat a hated rival in Nolan's return. Hence the happiness.
