  1. I know most of our bigger forwards (and d-men for that matter) are out hurt... but is it too much to ask to get more size up front in order to be able to handle a nasty game like yesterday?

     

    That said, I'm certain Murray knows this. We'll know soon enough, but I get the feeling he might favor Draisaitl with our first pick due to his size.

    Knowing nothing about the German Gretzky, I can't imagine he would have been anything other than a victim during yesterday's game.

  2. My opinion of Ted is pretty non-descript. He seems to inspire guys but hell if I can tell if his teams really max out their talent. They were discussing this on WGR today and Schopp was beside himself because no one would agree with him that Nolan is doing a poor job this year.

     

    When Bulldog challenged him asking how is he supposed to win with AHL players against NHL players, Schopp could not comprehend how the guys on this roster weren't NHL players even though he stopped Bulldog at Hodgson to point out he doesn't think Cody is a NHL player. I'm not sure Mike has any idea what he is talking about.

  3. it was interesting to hear the report that the Bills were interested in trading for Chris Johnson. I wonder if they had planned to package Spiller in that deal or what their intentions were. We'll never know now.

    Ah so you're Mike Schopp. ;)

  4. Weave, conspiracy's got nothing to do with it. The NHL disciplinary system is a huge ###### joke. No consistency, no clue, no credibility. If I were a player, I'd consider pursuing legal action. I'm sure the NHLPA somehow prevents this but they don't protect anyone but the stars in the big markets (maybe that's your conspiracy). If you Chad Ruhwedal playing for Buffalo you are better off jumping into a pit of rattlesnakes with mice stapled to your body. It's more safe.

     

    I'm more blood thirsty than most on this board but I don't want guys ending up in wheelchairs or forgetting who their loves ones are by the time they are 50. The NHL doesn't care about the safety of ALL it's players. Until that happens, and I don't really ever expect it to, the NHL will exist as a joke.

     

    I love hockey. I was raised on it. Watching what the league does to its players without recourse it sickening. It makes me hate the sport. I certainly hate the league. They couldn't be less credible.

  5. We'll probably hear Brendan Shanahan say that Ruhwedel turned into the hit, no suspension for Rinaldo, but John Scott and Pat Kaleta get 4 games each.

    I'm already prepared for little to no penalty blaming Ruhwedal for skating with his head so low.

     

    so two more D injured, where will we get more lol

    Pysyk will get the call(along with John Scott I'm guessing). If you think this is crazy, you should see the Amerks D.

  6. Didn't watch the game, don't really care that I missed it but this is not the desired outcome. I'm not talking about wins and losses. I'm talking about playing like a team. Clearly, from all accounts they did not do that tonight. I saw this creeping into the team a while back but nothing came to fruition until tonight. Just like Gaustad and the merry band of sissies lost me at Lucic/Miller. Weber is this newly shaped group of pillow biters, can go ###### themselves. Have some dignity man.

  7. 46 in Blue, Irwin looks fast and was in all the highlights it seems. May never be an NHL regular but he looks pretty darn good against this level of player!

    Irwin has been a 6'5" ghost all season minus the last week. He plays softer than Pominville and has shown little to no scoring ability except for the last two games. I'm not sure he's even an average AHL Player. For what it's worth, his linemate Tim Shaller looked like Gretzky against the Marlies who clearly were flabbergasted by the events at the end of that game.

  8. Caller to WGR was happy about the Mike Williams "signing"...sigh

     

    Was this guy one of my dads friends?

     

    This was followed by Sal Capaccio calling EJ Manuel the Bills first overall pick last year.

     

    There is only one first overall pick each year.

  9. Mike Weber is not amazingly bad. This whole team stinks. Mike is who he is. A stay at home defensive defenseman that can't be asked to be more than what he is. When he was paired with Sekera getting 16-18 minutes a night. He was in his comfort zone. He's been getting top 4 minutes all season. He's not suited for that. The Sabres have 6+ defenseman in the pipeline that will be suited for top 4 minutes.

     

    Given the huge dearth of physical defenseman currently on the team, I'm not in any hurry to get rid of him. If he leaves, I won't shed a tear but a guy who puts his body and face on the line every game has a special place in my heart.

     

    You'd think with the constant parade of soft wussy defenseman this organ-eye-zation has given us sans Regeghr and to a lesser extent Rivet, we'd be a little more protective of a guy who does the dirty ###### that no one else has the gonads to do. Just another case of Buffalo eating their own. Disgusting...

  10. Line means nothing with the right QB??? Really?

    Yes. Really. Good QB's who make quick reads and move adeptly in the pocket mitigate the need for HOF at every OL position. Granted, you can't have the slobs we had last year playing LG, but it shouldn't be that hard to find a fat guy to stick in there to hold into another fat guy for 3 seconds.

  11. Man, i know its not a sexy pick, but i dont think you all realize how bad our line was last year. You cant run or pass no matter how many playmakers you have if you line is bad. Especially the interior of our line

    I don't want to take a guard or RT at 9 overall. Get the right QB and your line means nothing. Rodgers and Rapesberger both won SB with below average lines. EJ isn't either of them (yet) so develop him into that or get a guy who is a talent like that.

     

    The garbage flying out of Schopp's mouth right now might be his peak of stupidity. So they are interested in Chris Johnson because they are going to package Spiller and the 9th pick to move up in the draft. Is Schopp the wookie? I'm starting to think Schopp posts here. This is the only place I read ideas as stupid as his.

  12.  

     

    I guess. But you can go through every draft and "re-draft". He's a heck of a player, but if we drafted him, we'd miss out on Risto, and the following year wouldn't have finished dead last and missed out on Ekblad, and next thing you know is we're creeping into the next Edmonton Oilers.

    I'm not one of those could have should have losers. I'm mearly stating if Darcy had started the tank properly, we would have moved Miller or Vanek sooner and had the first pick instead of wherever they drafted Risto.
