I think mcnabb makes myers a potential moveable asset to acquire much needed help up front
(goes to the corner)
- homiedclown

i hear ya on that.. but not with that albatrose contract until he shows something of sustained value

Thank you baby jesus.

McNabb and Foligno are the only guys on the farm I really want to see up here full time.

Whitmore and Varone lead in points but I don't think that either will be a top 3 line kind of guy.

I told you a long time ago that no matter how long a pissing contest goes, common ground is found and the contest can end with both parties moving forward

you stubborn mule

Connolly never played LW either. You missed my point. If that is the type of game that Vanek is going to play but keeps getting injured doing it than obviously he is not the right man for the job.
- MillerTime3011

vanek is what he is and is paid what he's paid...

once again, he's lead the team in goals the last four seasons...yes, he's been injured and has played through injuries, and yes he may be injured again...

his job is to score goals, and he's done well under the circumstances

my biggest problem with that falls on the coach

vanek has the best shot on the team and should be parked in the slot ripping them at the goalie, not down low taking a beating for 15 minutes a game
- homiedclown

Its sad that Vanek is as close to a big body grinder that we have. Vanek is good at tapping in the garbage goals but he hasn't been as good this year.

- homiedclown

None of these players on the team know what "the slot" is .

he is fine if on the 4th line.. that is the flaw with him
- SabresFaninIndiana

how many players are in a postion that's above where they should be?

That would have been a very nice and heart felt reply if not for the last 3 words. haha

I dont blame his position all on him persay.

Lindy has a hand in Ennis being so sporadic in his play just like many on this team. If Lindy could ever give any players other than the ones #1 scoring a true identity or stop bouncing life long wingers to center or keeping the same players together for more than 2 games than perhaps you would see more scoring chances from this group but apparently Lindy does not hold stock in chemistry.

His system, his constant line juggling the problems all smack you right in the face and they all lay at the feet of Lindy Ruff.

I agree to a point with Ennis but I blame Lindy for some of his shortcomings as well.
- TerryPegs

I've said it before countless times, Lindy's sytem sucks and some people say"what system"? no chemistry and when he needs to find it he can't. I love it watching Lindy the other day, he said he asked Roy about changing spots and roy said , no give us time or something like that. your the coach Lindy and your asking Roy of all people what to do?

Stafford should be in the press box.

put hodge with vanek and pommer
put ennis with staff and leino
put roy with boyes and gerbe
ellis tropp and kaleta..

makes more sense for the future.. becuase we need to move roy this summer
- SabresFaninIndiana

^^this^^

How about trade bait, i'm tired of these small players we have. Stick him on the 3rd line.
- SABRES 89

with this mess right now, I would shake the lines up

leino, roy, staff
gerbe, coho, pommer
foligno, enis, boyes
tropp, ellis, kaleta

None of these players on the team know what "the slot" is .
- cabin

I bet they could name the Bill's slot WR.

the shorter answer would be who isn't... Miller

it was the longest pissing contest on hockeybuzz

even ripped fuel would agree with that statement

CAM NEWTON is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stafford should be in the press box.
- MillerTime3011

The hell you say

then show them tapes of bossey or neeley or espo

the shorter answer would be who isn't... Miller
- SabresFaninIndiana

well put

still don't understand the kaleta hate...it's not his fault he's considered a 3rd-line winger on this team
- b0s0o1

Yea I am a bit confused with the Kaleta hate.

We need Kaleta here for sure and he has an assigned role on this team unlike many others.

Kaleta does not bother me one bit being on this roster.

Stafford should be in the press box.
- MillerTime3011

he is dragging coho down IMO, not Ennis

then show them tapes of bossey or neeley or espo
- homiedclown

bring darcy in as well

with this mess right now, I would shake the lines up

leino, roy, staff
gerbe, coho, pommer
foligno, enis, boyes
tropp, ellis, kaleta
- homiedclown

I personally hate stafford and puke every time Hodge sets him up perfectly and he wiffs on the shot or misses an open net.

leino and Pommer have great chemistry.

Leino - Hodge - Pommer
Foligno - Ennis - Boyes
Gerbe - Roy - Stafford
Tropp - Ellis - Kaleta

Foligno is the closest thing we have to a Brown/Clowe type player. Let him try it out. What do we have to lose?

well put
- b0s0o1

I thought ellis had an ok game

I personally hate stafford and puke every time Hodge sets him up perfectly and he wiffs on the shot or misses an open net.

Leino - Hodge - Pommer

I was torn between your combo and the one I picked for coho and roy

the shorter answer would be who isn't... Miller
- SabresFaninIndiana

I have no problem with

Miller
Myers
Regehr
Ehrhoff
Pommer
Kaleta
Tropp
Hodge
and Ennis if he is at Center.
