So did Guhle get injured last night?
- IndianaSabresFan

I imagine we'll hear the obligatory day to day with an upper body injury. Phaneuf caught him pretty good.

I thought Donovan played a decent game last night.

Yesterday was the closest thing they had to a full NHL roster all preseason. A lot of players had a good game because they were surrounded by decent players.

It seems the Leaf fans on Garth's blog are very bitter.

It gives me a tiny bit of hope for the defense, though they did play Toronto, so it's not like they were overly challenged.

There's no doubt in my mind they are going to struggle a bit this year. I just don't think they'll be the dumpster fire that people seem to think they will be either.

Oh brother.
I'll keep bashing Murray and swiss cheese Lehner.
I'm not some brain dead follower that rides Murray's jock everywhere.
Get a room with him for God's sake.
Lehner was bailed out on a few sure goals for Toronto.
But keep on keeping on Helen Keller.

Get a room with him? Because he fired your soulmate Ted , he can do nothing right?Your hero Pat Lafontaine hired him because he was the best qualified candidate. News flash you are not smarter than everyone else here , The Pegulas and TM the GM . He is doing his job well . Do I agree with every move? No . But he he is moving forward and the product on the ice does appear to be greatly improved. Just because you are co called expert on pouring concrete , it does make you an expert on everything else. Let me know when your induction is to the concrete hall of fame and I will organize a bus trip here for everyone to attend.

Till then find civility and quit acting like Lord God of The Thunder in here. Some of us in here have also excelled at our chosen fields, but it does not make anyone an expert at everything , like you seem to think you are. Like I said before. You are far too impressed with yourself.

They should be bitter that it took 20 games for ownership to realize that they needed to blow it up last year. They were actually much worse than us for at least half of last year and givien 20 more games would have been worse than us.

You are far too impressed with yourself.

Confidence with reasons to be.
I'll keep playing the part of me.
You keep playing the part of you.
Thank you.

I appreciate that they did that for us..

Talking more about the end of fall.

I feel like there really isn't a spring or fall in buffalo though. It's summer up until mid November and then out of nowhere it's like 15 degrees, 25 mph winds, and snows a couple inches every other day.

This is pretty accurate.

That, combined with the fact that Garth is trolling the snot out of them, turned out to be some pretty ugly chat. Honestly, that guy ruins it for everyone.

Look buddy, you have a point that everyone should not be blindly following Murray off a bridge if he leads us there, but the people on here do analyze the moves he makes and the general consensus is that we like them. Just as we should not assume "Oh, Murray made a move. It must be incredible", you can't say "Murray made a move. It must be poop". Your continual bashing of posters on here simply because we are excited about the team's future is ridiculous. It is okay to disagree with people, but give it a break with the "You're a brain dead human because you don't agree" mentality.
We're all Sabres fans on here just be excited our team isn't trying to lose every damn game anymore.

anyone have a link to the Phaneuf hit?

Thanks. Still can't tell whether it was principally head contact

Some people would rather see Strome or Marner in a Sabres jersey and got him without trying to be bad than having Eichel in a Sabres jersey and acquiring him by trading every valuable short term asset and icing a team littered with scrubs because someone finally figured out mediocrity means nothing.

Here's another link that shows it from a slightly different angle.

It's a borderline hit, IMO. I love that Deslauriers took exception to it and went after Phaneuf though. I'll take that penalty all day long.

From this angle you can see that it was a bit high, but Guhle knew he was coming. His head wasn't down and he was looking right at him.
