next year, I have no doubt Darcy will make a 100% effort in turning this team around. Just wait until the draft before you judge
- toddkac

No offense but I'm sick of Darcy and his bullpoop. One good deadline does not automatically redeem him and all the crap we've had to put up with since the last lockout. I want results before I let him off the hook. I have plenty of doubts... especially in the "100% effort" part.

haha, that awkward moment when you realize you just said some stupid poop and its wayyyyy too late to correct it without sounding even more dumb

More than one good, see last years draft. We are on our way.

That was gold!!!

Marcus Foligno.

What are we attributing his "ghostly" play to this season?

Must say I am quite disappointed with his play this season.

I expected a bit more. Most nights you wouldn't even know that he is dressed.

Like I said, potential will only take them so far. They need to live up to it first.

Rookie? Everyone is holding him to 10 games last year. He is not a point per game player and he is a rookie.

what is his "bullpoop"

I agree he overvalues his players and slow to pull the trigger but....show me a trade he has lost?

if he could figure out what he wanted to be a scrapper with sone skill or a lucic type he will be a hell of a player but that is the thing with guys who are very physical and have talent they dont know how to balance the to and often get to soft like bertuzzi or just goon it up it took stewart a few years to find a balance same with lucic but when they do they are fun to watch i realise a lot of you guys dont like lucic but there arent many plauers like him and any fan would love him on there team

It's not the trades that he makes that get to me... it's the trades he could of made but chickened out last second that get to me (i.e. Stafford for Okposo) and of course the overpayment of players... dumb contracts... and letting certain players walk. I'd feel much more comfortable if he wasn't the one in charge of this "rebuild". I know I'm not the only one who feels this way.

You gotta start somewhere. I'm liking their goaltending in Roch. Corey Tropp is a sure thing. Girgensens is on his way. Don't forget McNabb.

i could be wrong but i thought okposo had gotten worse every years and wasnt looking like he was going to be the player they had thought or was this trade before they starting to think that

Hopefully he learns from his mistakes. Letting certain players walk is really not on him but the old ownership. Stafford for Okposo is just like a wash. I see no benefit in that trade. It's like getting Stafford for Stafford.

right cause homer said so about the trades...

Imagine people judge your job about the things people "think" you didn´t do.

Stafford for Okposo is something to worry about? Okposo is cancer in the NYI locker room and you want him here???

I have 100% faith in Darcy, I am glad I am on this side of the fence instead of your side.

- blizzzard

Bingo!!!!

After 5 games with Okposo the same guys complaining about not making the trade wil be complaining about making the trade.


Can´t please everyone.

Stafford is capable of exploding at any time. Maybe he has a bounce back season next year and then trade him.

- toddkac

Wrong......I didn't expect him to produce at all like he did last year, in fact I expected him to come back to earth......but what I didn't expect was him to be completely invisible on most nights. Hell even if I noticed him on the boards most nights I'd be happy but that has happened much either.

He may very well do so yes, he has a history of exploding and getting really hot and then horrifically underachieving afterwards.

Stafford is the cancer in our locker room, and sometimes moving players really helps them to get going.

Look, I'm just saying that Darcy doesn't have the best history and he doesn't have 100% of my faith yet, I like the trades he made but until we see a cup with our name on it, all of it will be for naught.

That's when you trade him for a good return.

I'll agree that he has gone too nuts with some contracts. Hopefully he realizes it and that changes. He relies too much on potential (Myers).

I hope he does too, only time will tell. This offseason very may just determine the fate of this team.

that is what happens with rookies.....

If UMass-Lowell D Chad Ruhwedel's contract with BUF gets signed/registered quickly enough the college UFA could be in Sabre lineup today.
