ajs510 122 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 What's up with Leino? 5pts only?Bad fit combined with mostly poor effort. He doesn't put any real effort into shooting the puck with the goal in mind of having it go in...his wristshots are beer-league soft and he has no slapper I'm aware of. Lousy on faceoffs, not very good defensively...his only real contribution to the team is the fact that he's pretty good in the corners and tough to take off the puck, which makes him a good guy to carry the mail in the offensive zone. Problem is that his shot is terrible and he's not a very good passer, so rather than getting stripped of the puck he just tosses it at the net for an easy save or turns it over on an errant pass more often than not. Very much not impressed with Leino at all. Even less impressed than I thought I'd be, and I was never really a fan of the signing to begin with. When I heard that he was looking for $4.5 million per from Philly I remember chuckling to myself and thinking that the Flyers would be asinine to give him that kind of money. Then...lo and behold...<facepalm> Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Friendly wager for the Sabres next 10 games? over/under 10 pts?10pts is a push. You name the stakes.(I might be there Tuesday for the Islanders game, so this will give me something to root for)I didnt even look at the schedule..but the wager is on..Its a friendly wager for a beer or beverage of your choice at our next meeting.Deal?

ajs510 122 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Ennis back any time soon? Hope so...need Pts in my keeper league lolMy guess is within the week you'll be seeing Ennis back, he's stating almost at 100% in practice but from what I understand he had a minor setback that is keeping him out of games.

If you lose, I bring a Whalers jersey, and you wear it. At least for the junior draft portion. Deal? Or, Im willing to do anything else thats just plain fun. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 That is true. I have a 0.5 lead now somehow, even though our goalie differential is 2.5. Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Going to Buffalo tonight right after work to see NYI vs Buffalo. Friends an Islander fan, so he talked me into it. At $60 for a 4th row ticket to an NHL game, he didnt have much convincing to do. I hate MLSE. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 NO HD feed means dumbness.Any game that features two MSG network teams will do this. They are feuding with the NHL about something, been like that for a couple years now. I haven't listened in a while, but Bettman's weekly radio show used to get a guy call in every single week asking for updates about this situation. It's completely retarded. Luckily, there are far better games than Buf/NYI on tonight for those of us not in their respective local zones (who would get HD). Link to post Share on other sites

I hate MLSE.Tickets: $60 USFood+Drink: $20 for 2lbs of wings at the Anchor Bar+popParking: $3, two blocks away$83 to go see an NHL game, and sit two rows behind the Sabres bench. We were yelling at Lindy Ruff to sit the F down cause he kept standing in the 3rd period. Im pretty sure I couldnt get into the ACC without having spent $150, and thats for standing room+parking+$7 cokes.I wish I wasnt so lazy about posting pics, pretty sick seats.

This is an NHL game.Im not trying to insult you, but for some of us, its "hockey fan who's favourite team happens to be ________", not the other way around.I enjoy watching two teams that I have no allegiance to. Granted I was cheering for my pool guys (lol), but I just enjoy being able to watch the best hockey in the world, without feeling gouged. I understand as a Leafs fan you think its an inferior product to watch 2 NHL teams, but I dont. Link to post Share on other sites
