SABRES (30-13-7) AT CANUCKS (31-18-2)
GAME TIME: 7:00 PST
TV: Sportsnet Pacific
LAST 10: Sabres (5-2-3), Canucks (7-2-1)
SEASON SERIES: 0-0
LAST MEETING: October 17, 2008: Sabres 5 Canucks 2
THE UNFAMILIAR ENEMY: Die By The Blade
UPDATE (12:00): Dan Murphy tweeted that the Canucks are confirming that Willie Mitchell suffered a concussion, but also say that he is close to being free of its symptoms. Good news!
**************************************
For the record, the "Death To The Buffaslug" image was not done by me. Back in September of 2006 a site called Ingmar Bergman Shoots And Scores found it on a hockey forum. There are more images there. Too bad Ingmar packed it in. That was one of the first hockey "blogs" that I frequently visited. Photoshop-comedic brilliance. Moving on...
From my count, this is only the 4th time since January 2006 that these teams have played each other. The Canucks lost 2 of those games, with Ales Kotalik being a thorn in our side in one way or another in the losses. Roberto Luongo was not in goal for any of those games. It was Alex Auld in 2006, Dany Sabourin in 2007, Curtis Sanford in 2008. So mostly throw away those useless facts because Luongo will play against Buffalo and Kotalik is rotting away somewhere in New York. The January 2006 matchup was the last time Buffalo played at GM Place, where the Canucks won 4-1.
What factoid that you can't toss is that Ryan Miller is an awesome goaltender, and was in goal for both of those Sabres wins. With Luongo's stone job against the Hawks Saturday night, both he and Miller are tied for 3rd in the NHL in wins. Luongo has started in one more game than Miller. Over those games Miller has faced 80 more shots, saved 90 more than Lou and has 3 more shutouts. His .934 save percentage is tops in the NHL. Not bad for a lanky goalie who the Sabres stole in the 5th round in the 1999 draft.
Lindy Ruff has been coaching the Sabres since July 1997. No other coach in the NHL has a tenure that long. The trust between GM Darcy Regier and Ruff and his players is a thing of beauty for it to last this long. Ruff has had only 1 losing season and that was amidst team bankruptcy and turmoil in ownership. The Sabres continually lost star players to free agency, yet Ruff got / gets his thinned-out lineups to compete regardless. They are a model for "building from within."
This season Buffalo is tops in their division by 7 points and 3rd in the Eastern Conference. They are finally getting mileage out of oft-injured Tim Connolly, who leads the team with 13 goals and 47 points in 50 games. He hasn't played this many games since the 2005-06 season, (mostly due to concussions) where he was finally starting to show his offensive upside. He is currently on a 15 game point streak, with 7 goals and 15 assists in that span. Wack Fact: Connolly (along with Taylor Pyatt) was traded to the Sabres in 2001 in exchange for Michael Peca. Beyond Connolly, there are here are the Sabres' scoring leaders.
Who is rolling for Buffalo in their last 5 games, in which they have lost 4?
-Tim Connolly has 2 goals and 7 assists
-Jason Pominville has 3 goals and 5 assists
-Thomas Vanek has 2 goals and 4 assists
-Jochen (what the) Hecht has 2 goals and 3 assists
-Derek Roy has a disappointing 2 assists.
Vancouver is the final stop for the Sabres on their 7 game road trip where they are currently 2-2-2.
Right now I'm not as concerned about the loss of Willie Mitchell and Sami Salo the way the replacements have been playing. Thank god for depth on D.

These 2 teams match up really well. I'm not sure what kind of feeling-out process we'll see here, but it should be an aggressive up-tempo game, as both teams play about the same style of hockey.
Here are some YouTube clips to get you into the groove:
-Canucks-Sabres Highlights, January 2007. That went to a shootout. Check out the Sabourin save on Briere. Sweet!
-Canucks-Sabres, October 2008. Not pretty.

“Backes (upper body) sat out Saturday’s game against the Ducks, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. This was the second straight game Backes has missed because of the injury. Blues coach Davis Payne said Backes is suffering from “a little bit of wear and tear,” and did not specify a particular body part as being the source of the pain."

Bernier-Backes-Samuelsson
Would be a heckuva nasty line that would beat up and wear down opponents on the forecheck and could score some too (or at the very least, take lots of shots).
Matt Cullen (whoever mentioned that…yoata? Zanberg?) would be a good idea too.
3rd line centre needs to be upgraded into a bigger type that can bash around a bit. And pairing someone like that with Bernier could give the opposing D a real workout into the end boards.
Combined with SOB….unstoppable swear potential.

Don’t get too excited. He has been out of the lineup now for 3 games. I doubt Gillis will trade for a guy who his hurt. If there is a chance of getting Backes, and I am not sure there is, it would be after he has been back for a game or two. This doesn’t seem to be a case of holding a guy out of the lineup because a trade is imminent.

Cool tweet from Richard Loat from Canucks Hockey Blog this A.M.:
The #Canucks have played their expansion cousins 108 times since coming into the league and in that time are 44-43-20.
This should be a great game and that’s besides the notable goalies involved. I saw the Sabres lose to San Jose on Saturday and man can they move the puck. Very good at transitioning and i saw very little dumping and chasing. The depleted defense will get another solid test.

the road trip will be interesting
the first 6 games are all against eastern teams, and our record against the east so far this year is 8-1-0 (something like that). if we can keep up with that dominance over the road trip, that will definitely save us.

Just as a caveat, this is based on an expected trajectory. It’s possible that they could miss the playoffs with such a record, and it’s possible they could make the playoffs with a worse record.

Is there an NHL protocol on concussion
that requires a player to wait a certain number of days AFTER being symptoms free before he can play? If Mitchell is still not symptoms free today, then we may not see him again before the Olympic break.

My little cousin has a sweet gig… he’s a certified volunteer for St John’s Ambulance, and is on the list of medics assigned to GM Place events. Basically that means the majority of games he hangs around in the players tunnel watching the game from ice level and needs to be ready in case there are any medical issues in the arena. No issues at all happened in the Chicago game and he got to watch it all. And he got to go to the Motley Crue concert last week too. And all this looks good for his CV (he wants to apply to med school). Clever kid.

Death of Buffaslug...
Ill take it… I hate that logo. We need to go back to original…
On to the game. Havent seen you guys play yet this year. These late starts on the east coast are killin me haha. Should be an interesting game. Never had anything bad to say about the Canucks… with us never really playing and you guys in the West. I see Bernier is playing pretty decent for you guys, numbers wise, I want to even say that I heard he was spending some time on the top line with the twins.
And those of you who havent seen Tyler Myers… he is pretty good. Still cant believe he fell to 13th in the draft. Since we’ve been on the west coast swing we have been listening to the west coast feed. It will be nice to hear your announcers point of view about our team. I hope Miller goes tonight because I want to see how we match up with you guys, but at the same time we come back home and play NJ wednesday… which is a game I would much rather have him for.
Anyways heres to a good game… 4-3 Sabres win ;-)

Bernier is a guy that divides opinion over here at NM with the majority being frustrated at his lack of finishing since he joined (look for references of “Hands of Stone” and “Death to Scoring Chances”). Personally I quite like him, and he’s still young so there’s room for him to improve. However, he really does need to stick away a few more of the chances presented to him considering he’s one of the better paid forwards after the Sedins ($2m per year).
Looking forward to seeing Buffalo tonight, haven’t seen much of them this year but I hear they have been ticking along nicely out East.

Haha ok yeah I saw that Death of Scoring Chances up in the thread… was wondering who that was. Ill never forget his first game with us. 2 goals, and assist and he threw down at the end of the game… Never really lived up to much the rest of the season with us, but you can tell he has the talent to score some goals.

You know what's worse?
There is a Vancouver in the States.
Good ol’ Vancouver, Washington. Double the fail. Got this gem of a quote during our last playoff series.

Whatever happened to Foody Goody?
Please allow me to adjust my pants, so that I may dance the good time dance, and lead the onlookers and innocent bystanders into a trance.

boy those nucks
Are looking good. I’m a Stars fan, and I envy your forwards, defense, and most of all our goalie. There is a long ways to go, but if you guys play your best your are awfully hard to beat.
thanks, Jamian. I thought the Stars would be a lot better this year. Can’t Morrow stay healthy?
What do you think of coach Crawford?

True. Robidas has generally stepped up but they need more.

Who is Fabian Brunnstrom and who is glad that we didn’t get him?

you know
Sean it’s a combination of things. I originally loved the idea of Crawford being our coach. Although I think he will work out guys aren’t buying into the system. I also think this team lacks speed, athleticism which Crawford needs for his system. We are going to need a slight overhaul. Turco is on his way out, but Auld isn’t the answer either. They are actually a better team than 11th in the West, but until they start to play better this is what I’m stuck with as a Stars fan.
You think it might be a Tippet hangover? Going from D first to a more open offense a little too much to get used to for the players? You’ve definitely got some skills on O down there.

I think so
He was never a hit in Dallas and people were calling for his head. The bottomline is that Tippett is a good coach look what he’s doing with Phoenix. I think this is a trial year for the Stars, but Auld is not a starting goalie. We need to address our goalie issues this offseason. I’m willing to bet a pretty penny we are seeing the last days of Turco.
What about Modano?
Please allow me to adjust my pants, so that I may dance the good time dance, and lead the onlookers and innocent bystanders into a trance.
I think Modano
will retire at the end of the year. I hate the see him go out like he’s going to, but it happens. I don’t think we will trade him, but if we wanted to be traded to a championship contender i would honor his wishes. He’s such a good guy he deserves to have at least one more run at it.
