Anyone else noticing the (frank)ing ridiculous stick holding by Montreal??
- LetsGoBuffalo75

Turrible.

I'd also play the crap out of Grigorenko the rest of the way.
- Gunner Staal

Can't possibly hurt them any worse anyway. He's probably got the freshest legs anyway.

Just watch Miller ask for a trade after this game. How many times would you, a star goalie, put up with such poopy defense and the constant miller miller chant?

Guess out boys can't handle their Montreal strip clubs, eh?

Sulzer has looked better then have of our D
- SABRES 89

That's not saying much though
We have too many "4-7" defensemen,
And at this point, only Ehrhoff worthy of being a top3-4 guy

Sekera & Weber have been ok,
But I fear the more we depend on them,
The more they'll be exposed

We need to bring in TWO top4 defensemen ASAP
This is just brutal

Why do that??...He's done nothing to earn it...
- Fruitcakenipple

Who cares. Game is a lost cause. Let the kid play. Get something out of the game.

No reason to keep Miller in net. The game is lost, give Ewok some ice.
Myers needs to be benched the rest of this game & next game.
Grigo should get first line minutes the rest of the game. May as well use the 'practice' time remaining.
What is the level of suck needed for Ruff to get fired?

I truly believe there is enough talent on this team, they just need a coach to use them all correctly & put a boot in their manginas.

Travis Moen has a Cup too, doesn't mean he won it by himself.

your missing the point, someone posted that the Habs have an average lineup I believe? and I responded to your post. Can't call guys like Cole and Gionta average.

he should be fresh since it never looks like he skates very hard.

That won't happen

Myers is bad but so are 8 other players on this team. You can't trade Myers or the whole team. Ruff's system is not working and he is not getting to these players. I think he has had enough time to get this team on the right track. We have talent. Look at St Louis and LA last year. This season is getting away from us

wtf does this have to do with anything?

No, but these things are all relative. Put it this way: Name all the Eastern Conference teams with worse forwards on paper.
- Mr_Clean

Florida

Toronto

Isles

Jets

Very Kovalev like.

True Story...............................

We haven't been good and or talented since Drury, Briere and Campbell.

THEY CHANGED COACHES AND TURNED IT AROUND WITH CRAPPY ROSTERS MAN!

SABRES WOULD WIN THE CUP IF THEY CHANGED COACHES MAN!!!!

If Miller was not pulled at 4-0......he plays this one out...Enroth plays tomorrow

he should be fresh since it never looks like he skates very hard.
- Pierceme69

and there it is.


I was waiting for someone to say this.


It's the Vanek thing all over again......

So, if you're Miller during the intermission, do you:

a) lay into the defense, a stream of curse words emanating from you like lava from Mt. St. Helens

b) give everyone in the room a look disgust and then sit silently for the break

c) tell Lindy to play Jonas in the 3rd

I'm saying C.

Hodge looks pretty good today..

Fire the coach and win a cup, get it now.

Let us know when on paper settles games.

- SABRES 89

They play top minutes, do they not? They are average, at best, in that regard.

Every team in the league has "above average" players. The Islanders, for example, has John Tavares who actually is a star. The team is still essentially garbage.

- SABRES 89

I can. They're average. They're no better than stafford or Ennis at this point in their careers. The Montreal forwards are an absolute trash heap and we are making them look like the 70's habs.

- DrRecchi

They looked terrible until they made a coaching change. That's what it has to do with. They managed to turn it around and make the playoffs, with the Kings winning.

Don't worry, Lindy will get this mess figured out. Just like he always does and always will.

That won't happen
- SABRES 89

You're probably right,
But we really need to make some changes

Maybe we can make a trade for one this season
And then sign a guy like Smid in the offseason, or possibly trade for another guy?

And if our defense continues to be so mediocre in general,
Let's at least give Brennan a shot and get McNabb up here...
I don't see how they could be any worse?!
