I don't blame Pegula for causing our problems, I blame him for not doing anything about them.
- Tsyolin

I blame him for not having the foresight. I think he really thought this would be all fun and games. It would be easy . He would throw money at the problems and that was it, cup city. It's now much more complicated than that. He had no plan for dealing with being dead last.

I was playing on my iPad during the entire game... Barely looked up to watch the game unless I heard "goal".... This is the most uninterested I've ever been in a season since..???.. Whenever.

I know that I'm not giving up my seasons. I guess that in and of itself proves that I'm not a bad fan. I just feel like right now, I have other things I can accomplish. I ran some errands and had it on the radio in the car though.

If there was ever a year to do it though, this was it. This draft is the best in a long time.

If thats true thats great news. also didnt Ted Black and Pegula have Pitt when they got the 1st pick in the draft getting Crosby?

Im right there with you

this creates a bit of a problem though. As we need a true #1 center (at least for a few years).. where does that put cody? back on the 3rd line? theres no way I let him center the 2nd line. I believe ennis is doing well in coming along there. then he just seems to be the odd man out. I guess if we had 3 lines we could roll the on ice time more evenly. This place is a mess.

Well if they are going to tank.
They had better tank right.
Not ala Bills tank jobs.

How is Regher doing this year??

Is he still physical??

Pegula never had anything to do with Pitt. Only Black did. And I think Ken Sawyer. I'd have to go back and check, but it's a possibility that they were there at the time.

The solution is to leave Cody right where he is and deal with the growing pains. He'll get it figured out.

A mere shell of his former self.

not really physical at all. he looks so slow. Like someone who needs to be put out to pasture. He's more vocal than anything else this year. I have to wonder if he has a injury somewhere or he just aged like 5 years in the off season. He was never fast but he hardly skates a full shift. kind of push and glide.

I absolutely 100 percent hate hate hate hate hodgson on the first line. He kills us in our own end.
- badgirrl

I have a criticism about hodgson that people haven't really brought up. He seems to have zero ability to beat guys one on one. I think he is going to be a good player for us but his puck handling and defensive zone play need some work. Overall he has hardly been the problem on this team though.

we can hope he figures it out but is he progressing at all? his d zone coverage looks as god awful as it always has..

I've watched him do this a few times this year... He's no Ennis but he is capable.

The entire teams d zone coverage looks terrible. To pick him out of the bunch and say he's been bad really isn't fair.

I never said he's been the sole problem but he has added to it. I'm not so worried about his offense as I am focused on his defense. He doesn't have to be a superstar in the d zone but he has to stop being a liability in it. He has given the other teams scoring chances up the butt. (don't get me wrong other players have as well but if he's going to seeing the ice time that #1 line does he has to be better now)

He's on the PK... I'm pretty sure he is progressing.

I didn't realize this is the place where we all come to be fair. Am i not allowed to mention a player without being criticized? Don't we all bring up points about the players.. If this isn't the place please point me in the direction.

- jochfr

I think he actually does it pretty frequently. He's been good at keeping us in the offensive zone. But, that's just my opinion.

I love watching ennis play. He just looks hungrier out there, IMO.

Regher= second coming of Craig Rivet....

- Buffalo--Sabres

Yeah, he has been a little late to the party so to speak, but the fact that he did the unthinkable this week and fired lindy shows me that he's learning on the job and making steps in the right direction at least. I don't blame them for not canning Darcy at this point because its mid-season and I don't think they would have any clue what to do regarding running this ship. I think once this year comes to a merciful end for the sabres, regier is toast. Terry is coming around. I don't thinking buying a team and just canning everyone is in his nature.

Wow. Someone has their crabby pants on this morning. I simply stated that everyone's D zone coverage has been bad.

Sorry you want to take one person and beat them because of it. I was giving my opinion. I didn't realize that only you were allowed to give yours.

yes I really beat cody bad. If i did i think he'd be better in our own end. I didn't sacrifice him. I did also point out earlier how I would only keep like 3 d men.. Was I out of line there too? You did the same thing you criticize me for.. ah well. haha.
