I think im not able to effectivelyy express my sarcasm since I'm presently st a wedding and my wife is trying to get me off the phone.
-
OMG. LMAO. Sizzle you can't be serious. Up here on the west coast we would generally agree with anything you could come up with about Torontonians but I'm not sure I could ever be so ignorant as to teach my children that the people of another nation are awful people. I guess we disagree on this one.
Im not really serious, don't worry.
-
My thoughts exactly. What I want to know is what is so toxic about Toronto as a team that things like this continue to happen? No one wants to play there.
You think it might have something to do with the misplaced sense of entitlement, and misguided elitism?
-
"Armpit of America"? Seriously, I was explaining to my kids on the way here that Canadians are awful people, and their driving is only a symptom of that condition.
-
Nobody is mentioning Deslauriers.
Actually, I did when I moved this tangent over to the 14-15 roster thread as per the civil discussion on threads and thread management.

Friends...I haven't even listened to any audio or watched any video from today, but, have we not had perhaps the best week in Sabre-land that we have had in, what, a decade or more? What an exciting and exceptionally interesting past five or so days. Pat Lafontaine whatever, this was as good as or better than anticipated. I will savor it at least until November.
-
Ha! I would like to second this choice.

I am also very concerned that there is not enough muscle on this team. I don't think you have 1 guy that could win a fight against a heavyweight, and only a few at middleweight. Georges and Stewart maybe can hold their own, but neither are fighters. Weber is game and gets his butt kicked. Girgensons has shied away from every single opportunity to make a stand for his teammates, which scares me a little.
I don't want another season of 20 page threads about headshots, and have to see people complain when a Boston or Philly sends your #2 pick into the stands because they know not 1 person can do a thing about it. The overall character is better than the Darcy days, but still missing the muscle.
Picking this up from one of the draft-day threads, I agree with this concern. I wonder if Murray is trying to find a player who has SOME skill and yet can be the Sabres' muscle if needed. Looking at the roster projections above, I'm not seeing an effective deterrent against the dirty hockey that seems to have taken hold in the top teams in the East. Perhaps my lack of familiarity with the new guys?
To add: ...or maybe Deslauriers is that kind of player who didn't quite let it come out last season. Or maybe Zadarov has some of that in him?
-
I don't know what line you're referring to. I'm in D.C. and not able to watch the pressers until I get back. However I am reading a lot and the facts seem to indicate that there are varied and valid reasons to want to come play in and for Buffalo as there are for any team in the league.
-
Does Murray ever bring up Hodgson in a positive context? He'll mention Myers, Ennis and Foligno as a group a lot when referencing what might be a young core, but hardly ever do I hear Hodgson's name.
I think Murray has a higher opinion of Myers than some folks here believe, and wouldn't be shocked if Hodgson was billed as "not a good fit for the future".
-
Murray has threatened the tank. Tank folk may have to rely on Islanders for a low first rounder...
-
Can we finally bury the "no one wants to come to Buffalo" falicy now? So tired of reading that.
-
Mmmmmmmm, I'm inclined to think they over-paid, and that Foligno is prospering from the Sabres need to insure they're over the floor. Like I've said many times, here's hoping Foligno proves me wrong.
-
Murray isn't rushing his prospects. He's going to do this rebuild right.
-
Not every player is going to be a knuckle-dragging beast who eats pucks, breaks bones, and spits goals.
If Moulson were NOT the type of player Murray respects and appreciates, WOULD MURRAY HAVE GIVEN HIM 5x5? Why does this question need to be asked, it's so obvious.
Matty Mo has skill, is capable and obviously willing to to teach, makes the organization look good (in several ways), he does go into the dirty areas (I can't believe anyone who watched his game would question that), and most importantly, WANTS to be here.
-
This would be a stunner. I just can't get my head around the idea that Stastny would be willing to go to team that is pretty much 3-4 years behind in the process then the team he just played for. Unless he wants he to be the man. All the other options I've read and heard for Stastny is him pretty much slotting into the #2 center spot on a contender. Any hope for Stastny has to be tied up in his desire to be the #1 guy. Which here in Buffalo he would be by a long shot.
He's still pretty young. Now's the time to sign THE contract, and Buffalo is probably willing (or at least able) to offer THE contract. At the end of it, he'll be on a contending team, ideally a centerpiece, and they would need to re-sign him to THE contract V.2 to keep the momentum going. It could work out.
I can not believe for a moment you wasted time typing the name Butler.

He's a different player from Grigorenko entirely. Girgensons major advantage over Grigorenko is his skating. That's why he's in the lineup.
His skating is an advantage, but his maturity level, mental make-up and wisdom, put him far above Grigorenko. Indeed, that puts Girgensons well above most of his teammates.
That said, I still believe that the BS Grigorenko went through was much more helpful to him than it appeared. The boy got a heavy dose of reality, and at the end of the season was still trying to do something with himself.
My outlook for Grigorenko is still pretty high, and seeing his FB entry only helps with that. If he doesn't get a spot out of camp, we're going to see him get called up at some point next season. I bet he'll look a lot different than he did the last time we saw him in a Sabres sweater.

Quick UFA question that I'm not starting a new thread for: would you rather the Sabres sign Vrbata, Moulson or Ott?
Moulson, by far, has the most exciting eyebrows I have seen on a hockey player. I would pick him first of the three. The little I know of his personality, and we all know his skill(s), makes me think he would have the most to give as a teaching teammate.

I've always wanted to try this. Shredded spaghetti squash with good sauce over it and grated cheese. Great idea. Looked great. Fell flat on the palate. I think the sauce just obliterated that nutty goodness. Best to stick with the old salt-pepper-butter accoutrement.
My wife tried this with us sometime over the winter. The results were the same.
-
I've only had one cup of coffee.
-
So I want to add Stastny to that list. He uses a wood stick. Get 'em.
-
Who is this Freeman guy?
I think he's a physicist.
-
My neighbor, God love him, even he sees precisely what Murray is doing, and loves it. He's pushing 70, though, so, he's a bit olde skoole.
-
Geez, I hate being first in these polls. I never really know what I'm doing, I just go for the shiny silverware.
I expect Buffalo to be in on pretty much any worthwhile UFA, but, whether any are landed, who knows. I suspect Moulson might be more apt to return than Ott. Orpik will be offered crazy money only a fool would turn down.
