Shane Doan – well, Doan won't even visit Buffalo, much less sign

Guess that's not happening.

you mean they dont call it the way its supposed to be called on the playing field

what a shock

the best you can hope for these days is that the call (or non-call) isnt the thing that decides the game

I agree. Our best hope is that bad officiating does not affect the outcome. I would like to say that the inconsistency in officiating in the NHL is enough to drive any fan of any team mad. And I hate the idea of make-up calls, and what justifies a penalty seems to change depending on if the game is close, or late, or in OT, or even in the playoffs. Fans want consistency, from year to year, week to week, period to period, and regular season to the playoffs.

IMO it is very unprofessional that the NHL has allowed the officiating issue to become somewhat of a running joke, to the point where it is now common knowledge that the officiating is inconsistent and seemingly biased. Every year it seems to change even when the rules do not.

The problem here is, Barf gets more comments than Eklund on most nights. This isn't because of his "reporting" it's because Buffalo fans are passionate. Anyone else want to agree to post NOTHING on the next Doan blog that comes up?

9 or 10

thats how many games the bills will win

I'm in.

if the money were equal and you had your pick, who brings more to the Sabres? Doan or Ryan?

I must be in the one percent, because I like to be updated on what is actually happening.

To everyone who keeps commenting about Garths incessant Doan talk, I offer these points.
1. What else is there to talk about. I assume that Garth wants people to read his blog. In order for that to happen he has to make a blog based on an a topic that will have people interested in reading his blog. Besides trade talk, which Garth also does regularly, there is little else to report on, besides signings(he wrote about Kaleta), trades ( wrote about Bobby Ryan, Stastny et al), and FA's of which there is only one that is still out there that would be a major upgrade to the tream(Doan).

2. No one is making you read or comment on these blogs, If you are tired of hearing about Doan, then simply don't click the link anymore.

Many of you sound pathetic and it seems to me that you think it is in some way humorous to criticize Garth for his reporting on Doan. Garth is doing his job and doing it well. Every blog I have read from Garth about Doan has offered new information on the topic(albeit often times not much) but still enough to justify him reporting on the topic. The fact is that Doan and his agent have both stated that Buffalo is in the running, which makes Garth's reporting on this topic both valid and necessary, even if it bothers some of you to have to read it.



I think I can speak for a faction of Buffalo fans, as well as myself, in saying that I appreciate Garths reporting. I think he does a great job of regularly and consistently reporting on the topics that are most salient to us as Buffalo Sabres fans. I do not mind the typos in his blogs as I realize that his focus is on content, and rapidly conveying that content to readers is what I care about, not the fact that in haste he make some typos.

I think Garth is doing a great job, and is one of the most dedicated bloggers on this site in regards to consistently and expeditiously relaying information to those of us who depend on it for Sabres news.

I thank Garth, both for myself, and many others.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!'

proof?

Could it be possible that the people who are posting on here do not share the same point of view as the majority of fans? Maybe because there are some of you on here who consistently bash Garth, there is an atmosphere where those that agree with you speak up and make their voices heard. Those who don;t agree with you are too reasonable to argue with people they feel are irrational.

The people that post on this site, do not in any way represent the majority of fans. Instead the majority of fans have left this site, because it is not worth their time arguing with people who have no facts to back up their contentions, and basically believe things because that's what is comfortable for them. You all know who you are.

The next time I hear from one of you bashing on anyone(Garth, players, mgmt) with actual facts and logic to justify their point of view, will be the first time.

p.s. sorry for the essays, there is just some part of me that feels if I am making an argument against a previous post, that I should actually back it up with an argument, facts or logic, something more than "because I think so, so it must be true"...

Fact:
15-16 years of the same!

Usually coaches/GM'S get a window of 4-5 years, but facts have no place here!

still too early to tell IMO

I think Doan is searching for every reason NOT to visit Buffalo, but the amount of money they offered might just be too much

Agreed.
