    Biron will start tonight and Peters will be back in the lineup. Yikes. Sabres still fall behind early and win in the 3rd. Lets say 5-4.

     

    When I first read that, I thought it said "Biron will start tonight and Peters will be his backup". :oops: That would be freaking awesome. :beer:

     

    At this point I wish Peters would just go away. Who are Florida's heavyweights and can we pay one of them to break Peters' face?

    man-love is not weird!

     

    :unsure:

     

    Someone please explain to me why whenever there is a situation in which every single hockey fan knows tempers will get flared, such as taking hacks at the goalie or a dirty hit, the cameras take a good 15-20 seconds to figure it out. Is it a production thing or what?

    I'm sorry..I didnt know you were smarter than half the GMs in the NHL.

     

    I consider myself smarter than all GM's perhaps outside of our own.

     

    As for your last comment hidden WAY down at the bottom of your post, which was definatly uncalled for..... :censored:

     

     

    First off, I wasn't trying to hide anything.

     

     

    Secondly, leaving <_< after your post pretty much insinuates exactly what I said.

    Based on the goaltending I've seen throughout the Leage and Biron's history, I'm certain he would be the best goalie on at least a dozen teams.

    Make the world a better place, punch that turtling, diving, cheap ass bastard Tucker in the face...or make him bleed somehow please. Wy does it seem like there are more Leafs fans at the game than Sabres fans. This game, these fans, and this team are pissing me off.

    I was questioning Ruff (not that I'm the only one guilty of that) for putting out the checking line with 2 minutes to go, but they came up big. Gaustad got away with one, but I feel no sympathy for Chara cause he gets a free pass for clocking people in the face because of his height.

     

    I loved how it went down. Gaustad was skating into the zone trying to go to the net, gets some interference from some lug d-man, looks up and notices its Chara and proceeds to blast him in the face. :lol:

    They'll make it to at least 18, I had a dream about it.

     

    You sure about that. I saw about 5 pucks that in any other game would have been in the back of the net. Stupid pases, unlucky bounces, smug 240lbs centers trailing 80 feet behind the play scoring goals. It isn't adding up so far.

    Ink, I would guess that you do care SOMEWHAT, since you took the time to pick & respond to several different posts in the thread.

     

    Touche.

     

    I'll admit that my initial reaction to the numbers on the front was "what? why the hell did they do that?" But I don't think it looks good or bad - I am indifferent on that aspect.

     

    I do kida like them there.

     

    I think PA is dead on here - most fans who are still opposed to the slug logo see this as another example of the front office (really, in all fairness, Larry Quinn) spinnng the truth and BSing the fans.

     

    I suppose everyone feels like they were misled. My brain is so fried, I barely remembered them wearing the B&G at the end of 2003.

     

    And as far as if someone (like Preds) ordered a personalized jersey and it came back different than expected, I would (and have) done the same - I'd be pissed and would either return the jersey or demand they fix it. But that is a customer satisfaction thing - not a pro- or anti-Sabres/slug thing. Besides, I think that if a retail company is going to offer personalized jerseys, they have to verify with the league what personalization entails, so they can decide whether to offer pro-style personalization or replica personalization, and can then explain to their customers what each type includes, how much the charge is and verifies what information/lettering/numbers goes where.

     

    Has anyone verified that the vintage sweaters for sale, will indeed have the #'s on the front.

     

    Whatever. The more I look at the pics of the vintage jerseys with the numbers on the front, the more I like them (the numbers.) I just wish the Sabres would start being more upfront with the fans on this jersey fiasco. Its been a clusterfugg of immense proportions and colossal missteps right from the beginning, and it should have been a relatively easy decision and process.

     

    I really feel like LQ is trying to do the right thing, but like a young teen trying to unhook his first bra, he struggles, fumbles through it, and eventually has to ask for help because the little dude just can't set those fleshy pillows free. Set them free Larry!

    It's a credibility issue, ink. The fans just feel like they've been lied to and jerked around on this uniform issue from the moment the Sabres skated onto the ice for the home finale in 2003 wearing the old look. People went nuts -- the new owner was telling them they would be wearing the old colors and old crest. Not only did they have to wait over three years to see a change, but the colors were tweaked and the old crest was subjugated to "throwback" status. This summer, we were told the Sabres would wear their vintage uni 15 times, but it was a lie. The numbers on the front make it an alternate jersey. How many people who ordered the old time sweaters knew what they were getting? How many will return them? The other lie was LQ saying the B with the sabre threw it would not be used in the new uniform. It's just been a fiasco, and only the winning product on the ice has kept it from being a disaster.

     

    My opinion has departed from the masses.

    putting the numbers on the front totally pisses me off....

     

    Uh, really. :huh:

     

    I feel your anger...sounds like some sort of NHL marketing BS is being pulled on us.

     

    I feel like I'm on a different planet.

     

    I'll let you know when my jersey comes in. I ordered a blue vintage LaFontaine last week, and if has the friggen number on the front I'm gonna be royally pissed.

     

     

    I'm starting to depart from the masses on this take. I need someone to explain to me how two little digits will ruin people lives.
