Fair enough. But I don't want a team of all Gerbe's either. U get rid of Scott, there'd better be someone tough coming in.
- Powerslave

Because getting tougher has made the team better?


Serious question.

This place is lively...

Why is John Scott a problem all the sudden too?

We all wanted this team to get tougher, and now we're going to get rid of all our tough guys?

Doesn't make sense.

Shall we go back to being a purse-swinging team?
- Powerslave

Scott hasn't done much. He's 1-2 in fights this season and can't play worth a poop

Not really

Earlier someone said that John Scott could skate.

I was floored
- keptupl8

Hes not paid to skate and he does what hes paid to do well.

And your avatar will only add to it.

I dont belive they just walked in one day and decided to fire Ruff.In the companies Ive been alot of times thier interviewing replacements in advance of thier firing.Lindy should have been gone after last season.You have to think the power to be have been thinking about this for awhile.I brought up earlier this week my opinion was Lindy would be gone this year and most fans where like no way.

Glad I haven't worked for any companies like that.

Which fight did he lose exactly ?

thats not the problem with this team. in your opinion please tell me what you think are a few of buffalo's biggest problems this season.

I don't disagree with that. But don't say he can skate. Might as well tout his offensive prowess

If they cut the defensive mistakes down and stop giving the puck away, then yes.

Getting wussified isn't going to help them either, is it?

I'm not saying Scott is the be-all, end-all answer, but he's not hurting you on your 4th line.

The tough guys have been the only consistent guy on the ice this year. It's the d and some if the skilled guys who haven't done their part. I couldn't stomach seeing this team get pushed around anymore and I am glad it's not happening.

1. Defense
2. The forwards playing good defense

Which fight did he lose exactly ?
- buffalo 1

Parros and Orr. Orr may not have destroyed him but I'd give him the edge.

Point is, Scott's presence hasn't made a difference at all

Hes not paid to skate and he does what hes paid to do well.
- buffalo 1

He does?


Wasn't he like 22-0 in fights up until this year?

He's lost 2 this year already.

Pretty sure it was Gunner
- LamontSanford

Must have been

Glad I haven't worked for any companies like that.

Like it or not you call it prepared.I would think a professional sports team thats been as bad as ours would of at least been looking at replaceing the coach.

He does?

Again which ones ?

again, Parros and Orr

right.

our 1st line should be playing + hockey, instead they give a goal up and get one back. we dont have a 2nd scoring line. our 4th best dman is sulzer. our pp is not getting it done.

i think these are the main problems.

#Sabres also interested in #Oilers Gagner. Price would be VERY high right now, hearing Brennan and McNabb are part of the talks.

Here we go again.

- Powerslave

I expect 4th line guys to put up 10-20 points, play an energy type role, hit everything that moves, be some what responsible in their own end, and drop the gloves when needed.

Scott fits one of those things. One dimensional players are a thing of the past and have no business being in the league.

again, Parros and Orr
- ZamboniMassacre

If Drew Stafford, Nathan Gerbe and Jochen Hecht could learn how to score, NO ONE B!TCHES ABOUT JOHN SCOTT!

Again which ones ?
- buffalo 1

Parros and Orr.

He does?

Thortons probably the toughest guys hes fought and he pretty much rag dolled him till he lost an edge.Guess you missed Ray talking about him one night and saying no one would fight him.Hes so bad no one will fight him and all right ?
