Something I noticed from last nights game. The Sabres, even while winning, were hungry for more. Even when Atlanta had a little spark, they came right back and put them down. They played the full game, something they haven't done a lot, and it got them an 8-2 win. I hope they can keep that mentality of "never stop moving" into next game.



They had their legs, the 3 day break was just what they needed.

I'm going to buy a new Sabres jersey.

Name: Gerbe
Number: The Best

I hope it fits.

The Gerbe, like Jesus, sacrifices his own stats in the interest of those who surround him.

That is Gerbaciousness.


Yeah but he doesn't have many assists meaning he doesn't increase the other player's stats.

His self sacrifice doesn't come through assists. It comes through his dedication to maintaining the Gerbacity of the Buffalo Sabres.

Even the Mancari cannot deny the newfound Gerbacity of the Sabres:

Quote:
Mancari was quick to credit Gerbe, his ex-Portland teammate, for huge help on and off the ice.

"I have this feeling when I play with him,' Mancari said. 'I've played with him for a long time [in Portland] and we're really comfortable with each other, good friends away from the ice. It's made a big difference for me, keeps me company when I'm not at the rink, makes sure I have rides. That goes a long way."

Peters did the same thing with Butler and others. He even bought Butler a Christmas gift. But nobody cared for Peters.

Ha. Andrew Peters. In one season, Gerbe has more NHL goals than Peters' career total with the Buffalo Sabres.

GERBACITY.

But you said stats don't define the player?

Hmm...

Not so long ago Grier was the holy one. I'm sure his point totals weren't spectacular.

Was Grier the team's reason for success last year? Or the other years we had him?

gerbe was downright useless through 30 games this season. hes played better, and hes begun producing.

he still has a weak shot, bad shot selection, but hes able to get into good scoring positions to allow him to get points. i think gerbes surge is on his line mates as much as him. the whole product is better.

do i see gerbe as a long term solution? no. i think he will be traded this off season, but thats just me. hes proven to be somewhat of an asset. but a game changer? a culture changer? i dont think so.

he doesnt appear to be the whiny bitch/douchebag he used to be, so thats good. we shall see.


this is about how i feel, though i wouldnt mind keeping him around

i mean, granted, hes certainly proven me somewhat wrong. hes looked alot better. im still not sold on him being anything more then a stopgap, but hes coming along.

however, i feel the abundance of smaller forwards on our roster makes him, the worst one (not that hes bad) the most expendable should the sabres try to improve the roster this off season.

If only the Sabres could have harnessed the Gerbacity to close out the Predators.

The ways of the G scream blue and gold, but can only be wielded by a true Sabre master.

Train, they must, to wield the powers of Gerbacity.
