It's like we're neither rebuilding or contending.

I am happy that we're tougher though. That's about it.

was a better game to watch than what we expected .

they played hard, fun game to watch, I can live with the effort.

The Pittsburgh fans were awful.

That game ended in a cruel fashion. They deserved at least a point today. I thought it was one of their better efforts of the season, considering their competition today.

I thought Buffalo was stacked with D men? Not seeing it thus far...
Miller did look solid, but was left hanging on all 4 goals
- SotaPopinski

fowards are turning the puck over in the worst spots. hodgson turns puck over its 1-0. pp goal 2-0. pomminville turns puck over its 3-2. ennis taps crosby's stick falls on martins stick for a screen goal. 4-3. i dont blame the d.

There's a reason he was a "#7" on a GOOD team
Just like LEOPOLD was a bottom pair guy
But for us,
Leopold gets top pair icetime and Sulzer gets paired w out beat defenseman
These guys are playing in roles that are just above their talent level
And neither puts forth the extra effort to make up for it

Too many average players asked to do things they aren't capable of
And that's why we are so woefully unsuccessful

I actually like Sulzer but any time he's asked to play over 16-17 minutes you're asking for trouble..

I just havent seen anything from 25 that shows me he desrves to be out there honeslty.

Wasted year on an EL deal.

Any tugboat or earthquake sightings this afternoon?

take away the first 87 seconds and the last 125 seconds and the sabres only allowed 1 goal to the pens for 56 minutes


team was not prepared to start the game, with an off day yesterday
team was not focused at the end of the game

is it the players or the coach?
- homiedclown

It's more the players,
But I'm done defending anyone in the organization
Pominville should have the "C" taken away
A message needs to be sent

16-17 mins is not a lot for him...not IMO anyway

See above.

obnoxious in other words it seems....not suprirsing

he still looks like a great chl player but now he's in the NHL. grig's needs to hit the gym and hard core skating drills.

why?

Good effort but we should have won that game, I still say we are to small down the middle.

Miller again was the only reason we were close. LA Kings beat CBJ the other night, guess how many shots the Kings let up? 14. Let Miller get 18-25 shots per game on him and he will be a Vezina candidate again. This "system" of letting your goalie get pounded for 60 minutes will never get us anywhere
- sbroads24

We often disagree...
But that was a fantastic post
100% correct IMO as well

agreed

If they knew Leino was going to miss most of the year and planned on Hecht for the 3rd line, then there is no reason for the gringo to be with the big club

There is no defense for this organization. They need to go, Ruff can be a good coach somewhere else. Not here. You don't strip Captains of their letters or trade Tyler Myers to send messages. You fire your underachieving coach first.

we certianly are
- Homer

Let's see if others agree, I would bet not.

Nope just loud mouthed Pittsburgh fans.
- dadeadhead

They remind me of Hab's fans but with class.

Ole ??

Myers +Stafford and a top 10 pick for Seabrook? Talk about over payment.
- sbroads24

That's how pissed I am
And if youre going to overpay some someone...
Do it for a stud
Not a 22yr old center who's had ONE good season, wants to be overpaid, and may have an attitude problem

Solid !!!!
- Pairo11

Everyone is beyond frustrated. Way beyond. Listen to Millers postgame interview.
The constant negativity from some is not needed not mention often rendundant and crusty old.
I know some is supposed to humorous but I really cant believe some call themselves fans here.
Cant wait to see this team go on a run and watch how certain posters "takes" change.
It's like as the world turns here sometimes.
IMO Some here could even be considered to be trolling "their own" blog.
