I remember some Oiler fans coming on the Sabres boards telling us u didn't need or want Miller bc Dubnyk put up comparable stats...
Oops
I'll bet y'all wish he'd waive his ntc to go play for u guys now, don't ya?

Sorry for "trolling"
I'm sure most of u that read this are good fans
But u have a few that used to come on our boards & be so obnoxious... And to them, I'd just like to say...

Told u so

Odd timing for you to bring that up, considering that Dubnyk has been playing very well the past few games... The Oilers problems run much MUCH deeper than Dubnyk, and Miller would not turn our ship around...

Not that it mattered anyway. The Oilers are on Millers Sh1t list, and Miller is a piece of sh1t himself. Even if he could turn things around for the Oilers (and he wouldn't by the way) I wouldn't want that (frank)ing Zorch on my team.

For what it's worth... Your team sucks as well, and we have had a few of your fans who used to come on our boards and be obnoxious as well... So don't play that bullsh1t. Worry about your own sh1tty team.

Before this season started...I'd agree with them. Dubnyk crapped the bed this year. But if he had progressed like he was supposed to and had been, I really believe the team would have been fine. Miller is playing great, no doubt. But he hasn't played like this since before the Lucic incident. Nobody saw Dubnyk sinking and Miller playing stellar before this season...if anything...the opposite would have been expected by most.


Edit: And as for wishing he'd wave his no trade...I still don't think he's worth the assets Regier/his successor will be asking. So no I don't wish he'd wave his no trade.

It would def cost ya,
But if he'd agree to sign an extension there it'd be worth it...
Miller gets u guys into the playoffs
Fix your defense, and then you'd have a shot at the cup

For the record, Miller has been very good all along... Just had a pretty crappy team around him...
Even this year, every commentator out there is saying how good Miller is playing...
But if u look at his stats, he has an average save% and his gaa is over 3.00
Stats don't tell the whole story though
He gets hung out to dry nightly
Anyone who saw how the Kings outshot us 30-7 after 2 periods the other night can understand my point
That happens to Miller about every other game

I'll bet if u could figure out some kind of "Yakupov for Shea Weber" deal (or something like it), Miller could get interested in you guys really quick

You're an angry elf
Hahaha
You're crazy to not want Miller,
I wish he'd re-sign with us!

Good luck though
Maybe trade Yakupov to the Leafs for Bernier and a decent defenseman?

And that was wrong of you to think because Mason has been lights out for the Flyers since getting there last season.

Miller has been damaged goods since Lucic roundhoused his ass a couple years back. No thanks.

Endless losing messes with their heads. Unfortunately, that's how we will be someday.

So tell me where I was wrong?

That Dubnyk has been playing well the past few games? Nope, I'm right there...

That the Oilers problems run much MUCH deeper than Dubnyk? Nope, I'm right there again...

That the Oilers are on Miller's sh1t list? Nope... I'm right yet again.

That Miller wouldn't turn the Oilers around? Nope, once again I'm right... If you disagree, you simply do not watch the Oilers play.

That Miller has a questionable attitude? Nope... Right again.

That your team sucks as well? *Looks at the standings* Nope... I'm right there as well.

That we have had a few of your fans come on our boards and be obnoxious? Right again... I'm batting a thousand.

So if messing with our heads means we're being realistic... I guess we're guilty of that. Please, continue to be in denial when it comes to how terrible the Sabres are.

The last time Buffalo made the playoffs was 2011, the Oilers have been losing since 06-07.

That was so stupid...

I said it from the very beginning. We had a guy last season who was all about mentality, and now we have a guy who is all about physicality... Why can't we have a happy medium? I swear to God, if I see Eakins or Ference talk about their jogging or bike riding throughout the city one more time, while we're in the state we're currently in, I'm flying to Edmonton and starting a protest. The fans have been robbed of decent hockey fr far too long, because of morons within the organization.

Arcobello sent down?

What am I missing. Was tied for 3rd on the team in scoring with 12 points, 2nd best face off %, 1 of the best plus minus stats at -3 on the team, & all well playing less minutes than the super 6.

You'd think with the amount of time you guys are trailing you'd be putting Shale Knackupov out there more often.
