They will. This is simply a case of a bad team playing its best hockey of the season, and not much more.

Can only hope, better they go streaking now then in the final 10 games of the season like in 2013.


Side note, isles lead the league in wins and we're no longer in the bottom 3. Timmy can't be too pleased.

I know and its not just you i just happen to reply to that specific post. I sure as hell know hes our best defenseman but i do have an open mind with being a fan of a bottom dwelling team that offensively needs to get significantly better.

He is joining the rush more and more . He is also doing an excellent job quarterbacking the power play . I think the numbers will come . I am happy with his positioning and stick work in the defensive zone . Most of the critics in here were complaining about that.

Some people just don't like him, which is fine.

The only times I get aggravated are when people throw out talking points that have no factual basis. Just like people constantly did with Miller

im just pleased with his defense honestly. He has that wingspan to easily handle people in the corners and poke the puck away. Actually i have been enjoying our defense as a whole recently. There havent been many plays that made me throw up my arms in disbelief after watching an incredibly stupid mistake. I dont think hes ever going to be offensively as gifted as a guy like subban but subban will never be as defensively as gifted as myers. Give and take.

on another note: watching subban skate all over the opposing team is scary. Nail biting stuff. Especially the 3rd and OT tonight

He is having a lot more good games than bad ones . Just tired off all the haters around here putting him down when he even has a good game.

Literally no one is doing that. I said my share on him in october and nothing since yet you reference me in almost every thread even when im not posting. You even did it again in this thread. And you are almost exclusively mentioning him in every thread as well. Not to mention for the past month you have been antagonizing people and dont even read entire posts or comprehend what people are saying. You are making readable blogs obnoxious and add nothing to the discussion. I lurk more lately since im only on mobile atm but I literally have seen no one picking apart his gameI lately as you suggest. I work 3rd shift so I cant watch the games this year but lately myers looks like hes becoming a shut down 30 minutes a game guy which is fine by me. But we all have a right to say we wish he were more physical, a better leader, scoring more, etc without you jumping at our throats every time and providing zero credible response and pulling crap up like him and ennis are a couple and live together.

He should have more shutouts too.

Thank you guys, for beating the Habs both nights. I have a bet with a Habs fan at work based on total points at the end of the year and I'm gonna give him the gears on Monday. Nicely done though, despite the negative view a lot have of the talent on the Sabres, they're playing some decent hockey and have beat some good teams.

Literally they are . You just are not around to see it . You need to get over yourself as I was not even referring to you . Where did I say him and Ennis were a couple ? I said they were best friends and had lived together , guys are allowed to do that without being a couple.I have a friend that works for the Sabres too and have met both of them. That fact is we have people in here that tear Myers down constantly because they expect Myers to be something he is not . And without being around to see the stupid unsubstantiated comments you come in and defend them ., Just a few months ago you came in here like a bull in a china shop ripping everyones opinions and calling them stupid . Maybe you need to read more and post less.

It's a long season and we lack the talent to finish out of the basement. However, having the guys put together a steak here and there I see as a good thing, give them a taste for success.

Both of you cut the personal crap out.

I just don't get how EDM is still terrible.

This whole winning thing scares me a lot. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say we finish 27th

So, earlier in the year, some members were very negative on Coach Theodore...but recently, I haven't heard a peep from any. couldit be that Nolan was spot on in his assessment...that it takes time for a new group of players to gel and become a team, buyin and play a system taught to them by said Coach and his Assistants. Sure, some players have stepped their collective game up...yet that too can be attibuted to a Coach finding the right combination from a number of new players.
Interesting.

Actually, you do have a history of instigating these arguments and calling out other posters. We all do it. First it was the Bennett lovers, like me because he couldn't do a pull up, like that matters..and then we learn months later is is because he had significant shoulder issues requiring surgery. No one bashed back on that, now it is unrelenteless Myers talk. Most of the so called Myers-haters simply have a position of leaving an open mind about trading him and wishing a guy who is 6'7" / 230 also grow a pair and push his selfimposed boundaries and play more physical.
So, like most..we are sick of hearing how many minutes he plays like that singular stat is the be-all, end-all, defacto measuring stick for D-men.
Relax and stop instigating...you get 10 minutes for it, lol!

On another note, today's Bills game should be interesting ... The old DC and defensive scheme vs the new DC and scheme.
Has me wondering him many time Orton will get sacked and if our OC has plays like screens to beat the anticipated blitzes.

Agreed on all fronts!

Hearing Kelly will lead the Bills out of the tunnel wearing jersey #56!!!

How emotional

It's tough to predict where they will end up but Edmonton and Columbus are pretty bad atm. The Jax have alot of injuries.

Sabres next 5 games

Tampa Bay
@Tampa Bay
@Florida
Los Angeles
Calgary

I say they go 2-3.

or the tankarenko has been stalled.

Im looking forward to the game today for the Pettine/Shwartz match-up.. I just hope it isnt another 6 - 3 crap show like those couple trent edwards years.

Just looked at the Sabres schedule for the rest of the season, I got them for 61 points. That's gotta be somewhere in the 28-30. McEichel looks good.
