GBU CoHo and a bunch of bums

[vcv]

Good:
- CoHo with some ELITE shifts. He almost single handily tied the game. I think he would have with more time. Those last few shifts were the best I've ever seen from him.

Bad:
- Everyone else

Ugly:
- Skinner, everything about him.

[chadthestampede]

At least Hodgson wanted to win.

[Stop Winnin]

Cody you're a beast.

They couldn't troll hard enough it seems, they misdirected their trolling powers toward the fans and themselves instead of toward the Canes.

[ClearedButNotOut]

Best thing about CoHo's goal was he immediately looked up at the scoreboard to check how much time was left...

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Good:

Hodgson! God was that second goal of his sick.
Nice to see Brennan finally find the net.
Grigs has looked better and better ever since Rolston took the helm.

Bad:

Pretty much everyone else.

Ugly:

Jeff "Seymour" Skinner
Hodgson wasn't named one of the three stars, yet Peters, he of 3 goals against, was named the second star. Damn homer reporters.

[CrazyPsycho]

That 4th goal Miller let in broke their backs unfortunately. Hope this isn't the "Miller is tired" phase of the year.

Loved Cody tonight, that's about it. Grigs looking useful finally.

[5 Minute Major]

I don't know about everyone else being bad. The were other standouts. Flynn certainly comes to mind

B: the first two periods.

U: tyler Ennis in his defensive zone. Marcus Foligno.

[Bucky Gleason]

Ennis looked pretty good for a while.

Ott had maybe one good shift.

Regehr looked old

[sjci]

Good:
Hodgson
All the teams below us look like they're gonna win tonight or at least get points

Bad:
Everyone else

It is. When he's played too much he starts to overcommit and flop more. You're seeing that now.

Nah, relative to Hodgson, everyone else WAS bad

----

I can't get over how good Cody's last few shifts were. He WANTED the puck and TOOK it at any cost.

[pyroxen]

Good
-Cody, especially that 2nd goad
-Porter and Flynn not so bad

Bad
-Not being able to stay in the offensive zone, not even on the PP
-Marcus needs to step up - along with some others

Ugly
-Canes answering all the Sabres goals
-Staal bros

[Stockey]

I hate Skinner. I don't know what it is. I hate him.

[hizzoner]

Tonight's game showed me what Hodgson could do in junior and what I despaired of ever seeing in the bigs. If he does this more regularly I might have to admit he is a first line centre!

[ZZamboni]

G-
Miller
CoHo
Porter
Ott

B-
Defense is Da-bad

U-
Hurricanes GDT ... They seem to have a hard time with reality of past vs. reality of present.

I think it is. When the other half says " he looks slow and tired" I think it should be obvious to everyone.

[Afino]

U:

Rod Brind'amour
Jeff Skinner
my ex wife

[slowgothemo]

Good God Man: Hodge

Good:

Grigs - Noticeable. Made a number of positive plays.
Brennan - The shot we have heard so much about
Myers - Lone rush. Should do this EVERYTIME he gets the puck.
Passing - FINALLY...from mid Second on

Bad:

Coaching - Enroth should have started
Miller
24
Staff - Whiffing to the bank
Hecht - Absolutely hates Grigs

Ugly:

Refs
Vanek slashed
Length of Kaletas suspension

[Bucky Gleason]

Ott9errrrrrrr


Why is he on the first pp and Cody not?

[Moskau]

You could tell it was going to be a terrible night for Miller by watching him in the first period. There were 2 or 3 shots that were no close to going in that Ryan couldn't keep track of. It was like watching someone throw tennis balls towards an 85 year old (one of my favorite hobbies obviously).

I'll be honest though I haven't completely subscribed to the lovefest Miller has been getting much of the season. Yes the defense in front of him has been comical at times, yes many of the forwards spend half the game cherry picking and running around in the neutral zone, and yes GAA is one of the worst stats in Hockey. But the guy has shown a complete inability to lock down games in his entire career.

[Better Call Saul]

Hodgson is going to be unbelievably good if he can just become even a semi-decent defensive player. He's incredible offensively.

[Awwufelloff]

What a goal....Worth the loss.

I think we might have our future number one center boys!

[Stop Winnin]

Hey man, in my eyes tonight was a win baby, one step closer to Mackinnon, Cody scores a great goal, multiple teams below us win their games. Can't ask for much more!!!

He's a second year player putting up almost a PPG. He's going to be bad defensively until he gets more experience.

Put it this way, if he was semi decent defensively right now and still producing like he is he would be one of the top 5 players in the league right now... in his second year.

Baby steps.

[RattleYourSabre]

Good:
-Cody
-Grigorenko
-Flynn

Bad:
-Miller let in a few easy ones
-Foligno for screening Miller and missed opportunities
-Vanek not getting the puck in a wide open net.

Ugly:
-the fact that Enroth hasn't played speaks a lot for how the team feels about his ability, seeing how Miller has to be exhausted.

[DynamicxSabresFan]

G: Cody wanted to win

U: The rest of the team played like they were neutered yesterday. Slow, lazy, uninterested.
