Trending Topics: The Sabres and what passes for honour

Found November 25, 2011 on Puck Daddy:
PLAYERS: Milan Lucic,  Ryan Miller,  Paul Gaustad,  Brad Marchand,  Tyler Seguin,  Zdeno Chara,  Robyn Regehr,  Drew Stafford,  Tim Thomas,  Andrew Ference,  Paul Bissonnette,  Sidney Crosby

Trending Topics is a new column that looks at the week in hockey according to Twitter. If you're only going to comment to say how stupid Twitter is, why not just go have a good cry for the slow, sad death of your dear internet instead? Fighting is and always should be an integral part of hockey. It keeps star players safe. It sells tickets. It should never be forced out of the game no matter what. But something that happens a lot -- albeit less so these days -- is the selling of the idea that fighting bears with it some sort of honor. It takes a certain amount of guts, one supposes, to willingly allow a 200-pound man who does this kind of thing professionally to punch you in the face for 30 seconds or so, but what happened Wednesday night in Buffalo wasn't about honor. On Milan Lucic's first shift against the Sabres since the end of the game in which he flattened Ryan Miller, Paul Gaustad dropped the gloves with him and got beaten up pretty good. "This," every...

Lucic, Gaustad have revenge fight

Via NESN.com  |  November 23, 2011
It didn't take long for the Buffalo Sabres to do more than they did on Nov. 12. Paul Gaustad dropped the mitts with Milan Lucic off the faceoff on Lucic's first shift on Wednesday night in Buffalo. There was, of course, a lot of talk coming into the game about whether the Sabres would seek revenge for Lucic's hit on goaltender Ryan Miller in the teams' last meeting...

Red Wings, Bruins blooper real from intros

This was the Sabres response to Milan Lucic? HA!

Via The Nosebleeds OLD  |  November 23, 2011
Great job by Paul Gaustad and the Sabres to to avenge Ryan Miller for the concussion Looch gave him a couple weeks ago. Nothing says "I got you buddy!" like squaring up with the enemy and getting absolutely worked. Seriously though, pretty sure Gaustad didn't land a single punch. I'm sure he'll land some jabs in the post-game interview though, that's...

Should Goalies Be Fair Game If They Leave The Net?

Via Buzz On Broad  |  November 25, 2011
It has been an ongoing discussion again in the NHL ever since Milan Lucic crushed Ryan Miller. It should be simple: If the goalie leaves the net, he should be fair game.     It is a bit shocking to see the reaction around the league. I would have thought general managers would be a bit more "old school" but that is not the case. According to Chris Johnston of The Canadian...

BUFFALO -- It took only 1:23 after the opening faceoff for the Sabres' much-anticipated fight with Bruin Milan Lucic to occur. The task fell to 6-foot-5 Sabres center Paul Gaustad, who lined up next to Lucic on the second shift of the game. The pair dropped the gloves at the ...

Sabres, Bruins Exchange Pleasantries. Buffalo Leads 2-0 After One

Via Queen City Sports  |  November 23, 2011
Buffalo, NY – The fans, and the media for that matter, are getting their money’s worth so far tonight. It started just 1:23 in when Paul Gaustad and the hated Milan Lucic dropped the gloves.  Although Lucic clearly got the better of the Sabre center, but it set the tone early that Buffalo wasn’t going to back down from the Bruins. The fisticuffs continued halfway through the...

Paul Gaustad Levels Brad Marchand in Corner, Which Leads to Big Scrum, Zdeno Chara Fight (Video)

Via NESN.com  |  November 23, 2011
It didn't take long for Buffalo's Paul Gaustad to step up and challenge Milan Lucic on Wednesday night. But the 6-foot-5 forward wasn't done getting under the Bruins' skin. Gaustad decked Brad Marchand in the corner in the first period, which led to a big scuffle between the B's and Sabres. The Bruins immediately took exception to Gaustad's hit, which is certainly...

There May (or may not) Be Blood: Pregame Thoughts From The Center

Via Queen City Sports  |  November 23, 2011
Buffalo, NY – It was Saturday, November 12 when the hit heard round the NHL took place.  Bruins forward Milan Lucic barreled into Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller as he was charging to play the puck in the slot.  The response, or lack there of, is the real reason the hit has stood out more than it should have. The Sabres made no effort to go after Lucic after he took out their number...

With the dark cloud of what happened 11 days ago hanging over the First Niagara Center in Buffalo, NY, both the Boston Bruins and Buffalo Sabers took to the ice on Wednesday night looking to make a statement in this Northeast Division match-up. Both teams made their statement, but in the end it was the Bruins who came out on top with a 4-3, shootout victory. For the Sabres, they...

Ty Anderson: Enroth gets Benoitstruck in shootout as Boston wins 10th straight

Via HockeyBuzz  |  November 24, 2011
For the Buffalo Sabres, the best revenge (if you want to call it that) for the now infamous hit on Ryan Miller wouldn't be a fight with Boston's Milan Lucic, the main culprit in the incident that went unanswered by the Sabres, but rather a proverbial punch to the mean mugs of the B's on the scoreboard. And for a little over 20 minutes, it appeared that Buffalo was going...
