OFFICIAL 2009-2010 NHL Playoffs Thread

100% agreed.

Additionally, looking back at that hit by Campbell, that hit was a perfect example of a player stepping up and going beyond their usual role to push the team. Something that has been completely nonexistent so far this year. I haven’t even seen a glimmer of it.

Somehow it double posted…

That’s how Boston wins, that is the only way I think they can win, is out muscle teams. They’ve got plenty of grit throughout their 4 lines, not a whole lot of speed and they don’t really have any outstanding goal scorers.

so much hate on grier… ok so tell me why lindy has even said that he is one if not one of the hardest working players on the team every game and a huge leader in the locker room? just becasue he cant skate fast and score goals every game. doesnt mean you should be hating on the only sabre to work his ass of every game… well not including miller that is

Who Ellis? Gaustad? they are usually the ones I see skating and playing consistent every game. Grier actually was skating hard, shooting pucks, and throwing hits last night. Most nights however, he’s dogging it and just going through the motions. If you’re going by what Lindy says then eveyrone on the team deserves a gold star, and an A for effort. Please, I don’t think any coach (Brian Burke excluded) is going to call out a player. Grier has the potential to be a top power forward I think, he just isn’t playing his best game. Same can be said for Vanek prior to his injury in the regular season. If the puck wasn’t on his stick he was barely moving and was basically there to dump it in. When he came back, he was skating full blast, throwing some checks, and shooting and stickhandling a lot better.

Lindy has called several players out ALL year long.I dont know where you’ve been

I wouldn’t say “He had a bad night” or “He wasn’t 100%” calling them out.

I think buffalo would have a alot better chance against any other team then boston.The other east teams don’t play nearly as gritty as them.

This season hes said "(x player) needs to step up his game.“Or we need more out of him.”
Hes also benched players several times this year.I cant think of a better way to call someone out then to bench them.

Sabres call up Cody McCormic. This might have a big impact on the series. You KNOW he was brought up with the sole intention of enforcing / fighting.

ballsy move reiger…ballsy

Crosby is one helluva player. That is all.

Elliot is not

Agreed. I have found no reason in which I can jump on the “Hating Crosby” bandwagon.

The kid is a hell of a player.

I like it. He’ll be playing for a lot, this is the kid’s break.

I just hate the fact that he embellishes some hits and the refs know he’s a phenomenal player and then most of the time will assume a penalty needs to be assessed based on Crosby’s reaction. If he cut that shit out of his game, he would be the 2nd best player in the NHL. Nobody can touch what Ovechkin brings to the table.

2-2 and the momentum has completely shifted to Boston with 13:10 left. Not looking good.

I dont get versus on my TV so im listening to it right now. Sounds just like the last 2 games.:frowning: sabres jump out front fast and then bleed the lead away.

and the sabres fucking suck!!!

The game wasn’t on VS if you’re in the Buffalo home market. They blacked it out and made you watch it on shitty MSG non-HD.

I knew the minute they took that retarded too many men penalty that Boston would score. Just like the year we took a stupid delay of game penalty in playoff OT.

:tup: Miller coming way out of the net… you don’t play like that shorthanded and in 2nd overtime
