Well, I stand corrected from what I thought the boys would do. They showed up. Nice goal by Myers. Nice, gritty goal by Mac, I owe the team and the board members an apology for thinking they would not do well this season.

I stand firmly in the wrong about this team. I think these guys can get it done. They have shown character beyond what I thought they had. I like this team, took awhile I know, to win me over, but, let's start off the second half of the season not as a skeptic, but as a fan who actually believes.

(That means no more posts on Kovalchuck, Squanto )

Stop being such a naive douchebag. You know full well that you have no credibility when it comes to criticism of Vanek, even on the odd occasion that you're correct. You've unreasonably blamed him time after time where anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of the game knows you're full of shit.

(That means no more posts on Kovalchuck, Squanto )

can someone go get rob now?

Did I say he was the only one responsible for the goal? No. I did not. He probably had nothing to do with that specific one...

BUT....

If the Lightning had cycled the puck more, Vanek was caught. People half his age skate faster back to a defensive zone, I don't understand why he doesn't.

and if what Vanek does is so "perfect" why is the coaching staff always screaming at him when he gets back to the bench...

ANYWAYS, talking about this game...

is he the only one? no?

THEN WHY THE FUCK DID YOU SINGLE HIM OUT? AGAIN!

oh, thats right. to cause a stir.

He was the only Sabre that did not backcheck...i'm not trying to make a huge deal about it....but it is true.

Like I said, on to talking about the 2nd period.

The problem is you're a fucking broken record. You have 5 phrases.

Vanek is lazy
Vanek is a floater
Vanek doesnt back check
Vanek doesn't work hard
Vanek isn't a super star and makes too much

I mean shit dude, childrens toys are more advanced than that these days. You've made your opinion, now either come up with something new, or stop wasting my pixels with the same shit.

Sorry to be such a dick, but fuck man, we know, you dont like Vanek...stop forcing it down all our throats.

Keep em coming man, gives me something to do.

I think so.

When I was in high school at Niagara Wheatfield,half of the Bandits worked across the street at Smokin' Joe's pumping gas.

I guess the anger from the last 2 seasons has just finally breathed its last breathe out of me. I really think these guys can get it done.

Rewound the DVR.

Vanek dishes to Grier, albiet a sketchy pass. Grier chases down and loses the puck. At that time, Vanek was SKATING THROUGH THE CREASE.

Kennedy and Grier were both skating towards the defensive zone when the turnover occurs, and neither one of them managed to come back hard enough to bust up the two on one.

Still want to pin it on Vanek?

YOU"RE FUCKING WRONG.

I sense a smidge of sarcasm.

Squanto, as I said, I did not blame the goal on Vanek. I never did. I mentioned about him not coming back to our zone.

On to talking about the 2nd period...
