    There's a fine line between laying down and doing the strategically right thing for the franchise in both the short and long term. Finishing to ensure a shot at one of the top two players is nothing to be ashamed of if it helps your team. Amassing meaningless points in meaningless games with a team half full of players that don't figure in your long term plans does when it's not in your best interest is just strategically stupid. I have yet to see a compelling argument to the contrary. GO SABRES!!!

    Looks like BU hasn't played in a week. Really flat compared to other times I've watched this year. GO SABRES!!!

    Isn't there some sort of topical cream for that?

    As long as Linback maintains his compete level, it's all good. GO SABRES!!!

    No, Bode!

    Yep. Then trade Zadorov and Grigs to CO for ROR. GO SABRES!!!

    God, that was one FUGLY period of hockey, assuming you can call that hockey. GO SABRES!!!

    No time to take chances with your best player. Sit Ennis the rest of the year just to be on the safe side. GO SABRES!!!

    The couple times I've seen him he's been impressive. Great wheels. And a decent prospect. But the reason he's not talked about more, is because of who occupies the top of the draft class. As good as he is, he is simply not in the same class. His lack of physical stature has little to do with it. GO SABRES!!!

    AZ has this because they are committed to it. Has nothing to do with Darcy being a downer or not. Murray is being derelict in his duties by allowing this to go on. It is just not in the best interest of the club to not ensure one of the top two picks to land the linchpin of your franchise for the next 15 years. AZ, from ownership on down, recognizes this simple fact and they are in it to win it. Ironically, in an effort not to "shame" the organization by willfully setting up to lose, the Sabres are shaming themselves anyway in letting another team beat them to the prize. GO SABRES!!!

    Oh well. Something to build on for sure. Young team, well coached and now, tournament tough. They had their opportunities and when they watch the tape of this game, there'll be a lot of woulda, coulda moments. Congrats on a fine season for UB.

    And when you match that talent with our unsurpassed compete, you have the juggernaut that leads to 20 wins! Nolan is the King of Compete! GO SABRES!!!

    No, in the games vs AZ and TO, Hackett would be the backup goalie to our ECHL callup. GO SABRES!!!

    Arizona may get McDeichel, but they will never have our compete level. So there's that. GO SABRES!!!

    I honestly don't know what other goalies they have, but starting an ECHL goalie makes no sense to me. Unless they are doing it to ensure last place. GO SABRES!!!

    Can starting an ECHL goalie be done without backlash? Aside from pulling your goalie at the start of the game, nothing is going too far at this point. What, we're gonna get scolded by Bettman? Nobody is gonna remember any of it anyway. GO SABRES!!!

    This is inspired! But I'd still play Ellis over Tynan just to be safe. GO SABRES!!!
  18. K-9
    This is a valid point. I wouldn't be above putting barbiturates in their bench water. GO SABRES!!!
  19. K-9
    I say Hackett can back up our ECHL goalie instead. GO SABRES!!!
  20. K-9
    Agree 100%. Let the coaches coach and the players play. And let Murray decide what chips are played. GO SABRES!!!

    I've made my position known: as complete a roster makeover as possible. None of the injured players even sniffs coming back. Star players like Ennis and Risto are shelved to prevent injury. Every prospect in the A that we haven't seen is called up to get a look. And we bring in an ECHL goalie as well. Gotta be in it to win it. GO SABRES!!!

    That's not how I see it going down. At no time would Murray say to throw the rest of the season. But he would tell them that all the AHL eligible players are going back down and a replacement group from Rochester is coming up. He would tell Ennis, Risto, Bogo, etc. that they are being shelved for the rest of the year; no sense in risking injury. He would also insist Hackett gets his starts, while an ECHL prospect gets brought up to see if he has what it takes. As to telling them about drafting their replacements, that's a given. Half this current squad isn't in our future plans as it is. Too bad if they can't deal with that reality. Radical? Yes. But Arizona is playing to win this prize and we need to match that commitment. All the flowery rhetoric about character and winning being the primary objective is out the window at this point. GO SABRES!!! And the 'Yotes can realistically be expected to do this with an ECHL goalie prospect? I doubt it. GO SABRES!!! LOL!
  23. K-9
    I don't think the stats guys took into account the goal tending prowess of an ECHL goalie in their analysis. The 'Yotes are playing to win. GO SABRES!!!
  24. K-9
    Agreed. And when Murray trades pending free agents, he's accused of facilitating the tank to boot! If Murray DOES have some immutable code of honor about this whole thing, he needs to get over it, and fast. The ONE thing everyone is gonna remember is how we blew the opportunity. Conversely, nobody is gonna remember what the 'Yotes did when one of McDeichel is skating circles around the competition. Only how great they are gonna be with one of them to build around. GO SABRES!!!
  25. K-9
    I agree 100%. We are getting gamed by the 'Yotes and I can't believe Murray is OK with that. Sit the whole team down, let them know what the deal is, and go about the business of finishing last. And if Nolan doesn't like, who cares? I mean, except for the holier than thou purists who actually believe their own crap? GO SABRES!!!
