Every Buffalo game that I have watched (which isnt many), Miller has been pretty on top of things. Heh, I guess hes allowed to have an off game every now and then. But not against the Pens!!!
most of the goals were odd man rushes. so you cant completely blame miller, but i agree, in most cases he wouldve stopped those shots
Oh well. Better luck next time I guess.
i hate crosby.
the cashier at wegmans agreed with me. :tup:
Everyone who isnt a penguins fan hates him.
The fact that I see his posters in Tim Hortons makes me die inside.
Also the fact that people compare him to Ovie makes me cringe.
Butler should have block the passing lane on the first goal, and I think it was Lydman that didn’t block the passing lane on a 2 on 1. This way miller can commit to one player instead of worrying about the cross ice pass.
I know its not fair to Crosby.
As for Crosby, there are no legitmate reasons for anyone to hate him. Jealousy I suspect.
I wasn’t a fan of him up until a couple years ago. His game has changed dramatically and he’s finally starting to mature. He probably has the best passing hands in the league, aside from Thornton. Now he’s on pace for 50+ goals.
The Sabre’s had 3 balls in the lottery, just as Pittsburgh did. If Crosby came to Buffalo, we’d have had a cup by now too. Hate him because of that, not because the NHL sucks his dick.
Also, realize Crosby plays on a line with Guerin and Fedetenko. I’m not taking anything away from Ovechkin, but Guerin/Fed is not the same as playing with Backstrom/Semin.
<333
I agree that he has been maturing as a player as of late. However his whiny actions in the past and inability to get physical have already marked him for many.
Meh, that to me doesn’t make or break a player.
Gretzky, Lemieux, Federov, Sakic, Hossa, Heatley, Yzerman, Forsberg, Bure, Naslund… I see a trend here.
With the exception of your Iginla/Ovie types, you’re never going to see a point leader get “physical”. Gritty, but not physical.
IMO, if you’re going to score…score. Fuck trying to lay people out. Leave that for the Mike Richard’s and Dion Phaneuf’s.
I agree He isn’t nearly as whiny as he was in the past but some still cling to that for whatever reason. There are times he will still try to sell a penalty (he may have stayed down a bit long on the Miller trip for example) but every team in the league has at least 2 or 3 players that do the same thing. Not entirely sure what you mean by not physical. He doesn’t lay people out but he doesn’t shy away from hits either.
He skates with Dupuis and Guerin not Fedotenko. Not that thats any better.
That third buffalo goal was real nice. Gotta appreciate a tic tac toe goal no matter who your a fan of.
I just want to say that the baby blue pitt jerseys are fucking terrible, Do the fans even like them?
yes. Why don’t you like them? bad memories?
Any jersey other than the Senator’s third, the Thrasher’s third and the Lightning’s third is better than Buffalo’s Home/Away jerseys.
No they just look like shit imo, I’m not a baby blue fan. I guess they could be worse thought, I mean look at the 3rd jersey for Atlanta and Phoenix:barf: I was just curious how pens fans as a whole felt about them.
What you don’t like the giant SENS or BOLTS down the front lol
Everytime I see “SENS” I can’t help but see it as “SNES”
WTF is a “SEN” anyway?!
since crosby was touted as the future of the show since his rookie year, in games he kind of created an “I’ll start trouble but let others finish it because I should be untouchable” kind of sentiment.
hockey’s a physical game. i guess his vocalization was what killed me. I never really disliked him, I just thought he was a whiney bitch. can’t really dislike one of the best in the game.
but I am ovie over crosby (i didn’t start the debate, just commenting) because ovie averages 8 hits a game in addition to his points status. what a well rounded dude.
btw, beck; when you gon come play some hockey? I’ll be back in buffalo frequently over summer
I agree.
I’m down whenever, don’t have much free time as of late though. I’ve been trying to get to the Pepsi center and skate as much as possible though.
