Yeah, Goos...<I>I didn't realize changes had been made. </I><BR/><BR/>Yeah, Goose was supposed to play a significant role in the video (at least that's how the News put it). Then when Goose was hurt, Vanek was supposed to play the Goose role. Then when Vanek got hurt, the ensemble cast stepped in. <BR/><BR/>And I agree, seeing a girl playing hockey would be appropriate. This is 2009, and the fight to get girls hockey added to the roster of high school sports in WNY is in the news a lot. <BR/><BR/><I>I am not too hopeful about the results in a game against San Jose. </I> <BR/><BR/>I would love if the Sabres came out and played a solid, consistent 60 minutes of hockey that ended up in a win. WNY can use the pick-me-up. I'm not asking for a spirit-lifting blowout like they did during the October Surprise storm. I just want a good, clean game that ends in a win. I'm not asking for much, right?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01565188346733253404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-27273923975149467002009-02-13T15:46:00.000-05:002009-02-13T15:46:00.000-05:00I am not too hopeful about the results in a game a...I am not too hopeful about the results in a game against San Jose. They are damn good. Though I have no record watching them, since I cannot even recall their last visit here. I hope I am not a bad luck charm. And to hell with you Jeremy Roenick for being on IR. The reason I am going to this game was to see an all time favorite one last time.<BR/><BR/>In any event, it will be nice to be at the game tonight. WNY needs to exhale.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770585105343162265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-40871639738016837052009-02-13T12:49:00.000-05:002009-02-13T12:49:00.000-05:00I was a little disappointed that Rivet didn't abso...I was a little disappointed that Rivet didn't absolutely destroy some of those Senators for running Miller.

Might've changed things.<BR/><BR/>I'm assuming all the shots of the kid at the game are genuine but I feel like the staginess of the opening almost makes the whole thing feel staged. <BR/><BR/><I>The point is, the intro counts.

Hockey has the largest female fan base of any pro sport so how about a little representation?<BR/><BR/>Again, just for the record, I don't think the video is TERRIBLE. But really it just made me go back and watch the "Better Days" video again.Heather B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06796852014625052317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-66907619235316700112009-02-13T09:55:00.000-05:002009-02-13T09:55:00.000-05:00I guess proof-reading also counts.I guess proof-reading also counts.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08960293312223360206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-20847446114190270592009-02-13T09:54:00.000-05:002009-02-13T09:54:00.000-05:00Hate the new opener.

FAIL.<BR/><BR/>On the subject of openers, I went to the Sabres/Blackhawks game in Chicago. They showed THE WORLDS LONGEST into. It went on and on and on. I'm pretty sure it had and intermission and then restarted. It was obnoxious. I'm not just saying this because I was there supporting the Sabres. I actually had kind of a soft spot for the Blackhawks but that pompous, overproduced, way to long intro basically made me hate the entire team.<BR/><BR/>The point is, the into counts. Bring back the old one.

(Miller did knock Foligno in the back of the head and nearly took of his helmet at one point when he was standing in front of him WTG Millsie!) seriously when is someone going to stand up for Miller? I was so pleased when Butler took Foligno out. I have feeling Miller is going to be aggressive tonight. That is his game when he gets angry. He was flustered and lost his focus. I have a feeling today he is all business and focused. <BR/><BR/>I don't have too many issues with the video... I get the idea they are trying to portray... BUT they need to polish it a bit. It's worthwhile.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01354165090373357485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-48225397928489430562009-02-13T08:43:00.000-05:002009-02-13T08:43:00.000-05:00If someone touches your goalie, punch him in the h...<I>If someone touches your goalie, punch him in the head immediately. </I><BR/><BR/>So much word to this entire sentence. No one will stick up for Miller all of the time. He's on his own back there. But judging from his comments after Wednesday's game, it sounds like he might be taking things into his own hands defense-wise. <BR/><BR/><I>While it's a good idea, it comes across as very, very stagey. </I><BR/><BR/>True. But I think that the idea and tone of the video had to change once Goose (and later Vanek) got hurt, as they were supposed to be the main stars of the video. I would love to see the original storyboard and pitch for the video, just to see what changes had to be made to account for the different players that were recruited.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01565188346733253404noreply@blogger.com
