K-9

Time is not right to be looking towards free agency. We must tear it all down, grow our own, and just accept the fact that it's gonna be a while for the kids to come together. When we reach the point where we're competitive on a nightly basis, make the playoffs, and be a team nobod likes playing against, then it will be time to add an FA as a missing piece to put us over the top. Again. GO SABRES!!!

Excellent post. For all the talk about coaches and schemes, it starts with talented players to execute them. We just don't have enough to compensate for nights when guys don't bring their best games. I think we're a "tweener" team. Part NHL, part AHL. GO SABRES!!!

I don't want to see Miller go, either. I think he's a good goalie that's shown he can get us deep when the other pieces are around him. Needless to say, we are way short of other pieces at the moment. That said, I feel he has to go. He has made an enemy out of the fans and clearly sounds like he doesn't want to be a part of a rebuilding effort. He's mentally checked out of town. It's time for his body to follow. Thanks for the great times, Ryan. Good luck where ever you end up. GO SABRES!!!

Thanks. Now I know Fucale ain't no fugazi. GO SABRES!!!

Somebody needs to tell me how to pronounce this name. Until then, I keep thinking it's something Donnie Brasco would say. GO SABRES!!!

Did you see the footage of Lindy towel-snapping Kassian in the shower? It's the same one that shows Lindy giving Adam a hanging wedgie. If you look closely, that's Adam hanging from the shower head while he's towel-snapping Kassian. GO SABRES!!!

Haha. As long as there is the "essence" of horse, it will never decompose. How else can one create context out of nothing? As long as Lindy Ruff breathes, the horse stays alive. I saw Ruff kick the schit out of Kassian and Adam that very same day. Beat them both to a bloody pulp. And it wasn't part of any "teaching" moment in coaching. Just a good ass kicking. Lindy even let Adam keep his visor on and he was nice enough to let Kassian remove his fake chiclet first. GO SABRES!!!

You forgot there is not a spot for Ott in OTT That's all I gott. GO SABRES!!!

I don't know. Miller can often be above average debate. And, depending on how nuanced the discussion, Miller debate can border on sublime at times. GO SABRES!!!

I'd like to believe that, too. But I don't. We seem to have gotten much slower, especially on the back end. And our passing is inconsistent at best. I just don't see a ton of top line talent from top to bottom. GO SABRES!!!

You know Kassian would be psyched. GO SABRES!!!

C'mon, DeLuca. Anybody can have a bad century. I hear what you're saying, though. And I agree. And that's why I literally can't give a phuck any more. GO SABRES!!!

Well deserved goal by Flynn and timely after killing off a 20 minute Devils powerplay. GO SABRES!!!

^This. A thousand times this. Acting like you've been there before is always classy. I'm hoping that we'll cycle back to those days and it'll be cool to hand the ball to the ref just because nobody else is doing it and people will think you invented the move. GO SABRES!!!

Now that is some seriously funny stuff right there. GO SABRES!!!

We need a cheapie to really deflate the Devils after their pressure the last few minutes. GO SABRES!!!

And there was much woe in the land of Jersey as the mighty paddle of Ethron rose up to smite its once proud people. GO SABRES!!!

Vanek! Just a matter of time. GO SABRES!!!

When did we turn into such a slow and plodding team on defense? GO SABRES!!!

Damn! Another PP opportunity. Need to make it 4 on 4 ASAP. GO SABRES!!!

Disagree. Pommer owed us that for his lazy play on the shorty that put us DOWN a goal. Redemption occurs when he scores to put us AHEAD again. GO SABRES!!!

Hodgson with a pretty pass. GO SABRES!!!

Ott and Ennis pass up golden opportunities trying to be pretty and then we give up a shorty. Never helps to combine stupidity with lack of skill. GO SABRES!!!

Shades of the FLA game. It never helps to spend so much time on the PK, but still. We are just not a very good possession team. If not for Miller, this game wouldn't be close. GO SABRES!!!

Plain unlucky there. GO SABRES!!!
