Thus, a dump-in that slides into the crease and the goalie covers, but would have crossed the goal line = SOG. 96 DOINKS off the post = no SOG.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11028715007794603297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-76160707783024625652008-02-13T11:05:00.000-05:002008-02-13T11:05:00.000-05:00I would actually argue that Campbell is better tha...I would actually argue that Campbell is better than Spacek, so I'm glad you didn't put him on your list. :)Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09694504731204384103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-61498891143420565142008-02-13T09:26:00.000-05:002008-02-13T09:26:00.000-05:00Picking top Sabres is so tough, because it changes...Picking top Sabres is so tough, because it changes sometimes game to game, I mean we all have our favorites but even our favorites have off nights and make bone-headed plays. Except Tallinder of course.<BR/><BR/>I'm such a nerd, because I always have questions about things like hitting the crossbar so I downloaded the NHL Rulebook onto my laptop...ok, I'm a huge loser. But it settles a lot of arguments like when my sister's boyfriend was arguing with me about what the rules for icing. (I was TOTALLY right).<BR/><BR/>I don't think its unreasonable to think that we could move up, but sadly, we could also move back down, I mean the standings are just THAT close. There's no telling how this thing will play out when all is said and done.<BR/><BR/>But: PLAYOFF SPOT BABY!

Not wanting them to count in the goalie's statistics kind of makes sense though. It's the best explanation I've gotten so far at least!<BR/><BR/>Matt, I wouldn't fight putting Spacek on the list although I do think he and Campbell are more comparable than Campbell and some of the guys I did put on the list. Plus I was trying hard not to come down too hard on Campbell since I think I'm really losing perspective on the issue at this point ;-)<BR/><BR/>Sam, the standings are ridiculous right now. I hadn't really looked at them that closely when I posted but we could end up in first, we could end up in last. It's crazy!<BR/><BR/>And you're right - The cut back to the studio where Rob was laughing so hard he was almost crying was excellent, almost better than the Roby piece itself. Good stuff all the way around.Heather B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06796852014625052317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-63764699000445594082008-02-13T08:44:00.000-05:002008-02-13T08:44:00.000-05:00- Is it completely naive of me to think we could m...<I>- Is it completely naive of me to think we could move up at least two or three more sports in the standings? Too optimistic?</I><BR/><BR/>Nope. As of right now, 10 pts are all that separate the Sabres fromthe Conf . leading Sens. 10 pts. That's 5 wins. And only 5 pts separate the Sabres from the 4th spot. It could happen!! :):) Especially if they keep playing like they have been lately. <BR/><BR/>And I agree. The piece on Roby was fantastic and HILARIOUS! I laughed like a loon. I think the best was Rayzor's reaction. He couldn't seem to stop laughing. Awsome. <BR/><BR/>What a fun hockey night for Buffalo.S.A.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17506479286542011522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-41303550201608712822008-02-13T07:30:00.000-05:002008-02-13T07:30:00.000-05:00I'm sort of surprised Spacek didn't make your list...I'm sort of surprised Spacek didn't make your list of players better than Campbell. He isn't as flashy, but I think his play is much more consistent and he's put up a decent amount of points this season too. (9G 14A vs. Campbell's 4G 37A)Plus, he actually plays defense. A lot of it!Bowl of Porkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000803188691037580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-30861354213021969392008-02-13T03:02:00.000-05:002008-02-13T03:02:00.000-05:00Roby circa 1975 was awesome.

I'm hoping they put it on the Sabres site, I'll do another weatherman post.<BR/><BR/>I think the whole "shot on goal" thing comes down to a shot being on the goaltender, not the net itself. It's splitting hairs, I know, but think of the phrase as "shot on goaltender" and I guess it makes more sense. Maybe they don't want saves the goaltender didn't really make to count in SV% and GAA and stuff like that. I'll check the rulebook they have in the Sabres Store later on...<BR/><BR/>Also, I want 6th. Two spots. That's all. Who doesn't want to start against the 9th seed?Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12385719160320563714noreply@blogger.com
