food for though for all teams
food for though for all teams
I don’t check other team pages often but some good points were brought up on the Sabres group page recently everyone needs to read about NHL rules and changes. If they are not in the last five comments visible please look back in the last 10 or so, we, as fans, need to chime in on the future of our game. some good thoughts mentioned here starting with Jimmy. I think that a new point structure is needed (he mentioned the 3 pioint regulation win, 2 point overtime win, and 1 point shootout win, and 0 for a loss), and not only because the Sabres suck in the shootout. The shootout is not hockey! I’m not sure that point structure is the answer but I kind of like it. I REALLY LIKE A ONE MINUTE PENALTY IN OVERTIME! It makes the lopsided 4 on 3 less an impossible battle. Although I like the old system of 5 on 5 for 10 minutes (not 5 minutes) like back in the day for a point a piece, it seems anticlimactic but so does soccer (sorry stac). To bring up Stac’s comments about games: I know they are going to switch the schedule to be more team friendly for everyone;i.e, play everyone once a year and alternate home/away and time zone friendly, and not giving a team 5 days off only to follow with 2 back to backs in a row. I also played sports where my schedule was early in the day, but in College I also got stuck fighting for time around the basketball team and every spring sport in the gym. So a few times I had to follow a 10-midnight practice with a 5-7 am practice (a.k.a. no sleep) and it made me stronger. That is why the west is better, not because of the players, but because of adversity. If you don’t know what time it is it must be game time, that’s my thought about the west. If its not 7 or 7:30 (thanks Newfoundland) its not game time in the east. Any thoughts post to your group page (keep it going) or respond to my comment on the Sabres page. We have the power to help in our words here.

Classic Lives Up To Hype
Who could have scripted a better finish. Only if Donaghy was an NHL ref, would he have bet this finish? Not necessary! The game was perfect, NBC coverage was terrific, espically Costas in the first intermission. Despite the changing weather, the teams played through the challanges with the upmost class. Who should complain, you are on national TV and the envey of other NHL players. Anyway with all that said, this is special. The NHL should be proud, they hit a home run! My only critism is the refs should have had their name on their jersey. That would have been old school all the way. Keep this new New Years tradition alive. It is special. The NFL has Thanksgiving, NBA has Christmas and now the NHL has New Years.
