  1. Not happy with Eichel?

    in The Aud Club

    Posted

    Some of the first people to routinely haul out the "troll" insult are the biggest trolls on this board.

     

    not true, its just you

    I am ANGRY!!!

     

    I feel like we've been CHEATED. TWO YEARS in a row. I feel like as Buffalo, we can't win. Things are rigged against Buffalo. A S_hole like Edmonton has had four cups already, now they have four overall #1 picks in six years. I don't know much about Eichel; he's doing things against college kids; but I do know that Connor McDavid was THE PRIZE and we should have been entitled to draft him based on our finish and we didn't because of some CROOKED DEAL, not unlike NO GOAL.

     

    I just feel it's in my right to express this as a Buffalo fan for many decades: whether it's the league or in the stars, Buffalo is always destined to come in second At Best. It's Charlie Brown trying to kick the football TIL THE END OF TIME. Deal with it.

     

    Just like NO GOAL, just like THANK YOU SABRES, just like WIDE RIGHT, Buffalo has reacted with shock and dismay. The good losers. Heads hang dejectedly, hands holding heads. Classy losers. It's all right again this time, we compensate, we got another generational player.

     

    The fact is the Sabres should have EKBLAD and McDAVID by now.

     

    Just once, I want to see anger among the Buffalo fans, not just by useless internet comments but by actions. I want to see rioting in the streets, like the St. Patrick's Day Riot when Clarence Campbell showed up in Montreal for a game after he had suspended Maurice Richard for the year for striking a linesman. I want to see PASSION translated into actions. I want to see Gary Bettman COWER the next time he comes to Buffalo.

     

    I would've said in previous years I am angry and I want an investigation but sadly more and more I realize what George Carlin said is true. They don't investigate themselves.

     

    1st the Sabres wanted Reinhart from the start IMO

     

    2nd we tanked this year to ensure we got one of the top 2 players both generational talents.. Mission accomplished.

     

     

     

    Not sure why the anger.. I'm Slightly disappointed but no anger.. we accomplished what we hoped to accomplish

    If we pick first, and Arizona picks third, I would switch places for OEL and Domi.  I'd consider it a fleecing.  Would you?

    I didn't realize that the Coyotes also have Cristian Dvorak.  Could we get an entire line, best line in OHL, this draft by switching a measly two spots?  

     

     

    WOW. You would pass up on a generational talent ?

     

    I'd run to the podium and take McDavid and never look back

  16. Let's end tanking forever: draft lottery pick delayed 1 year going forward

    in The Aud Club

    Posted

    Here's an idea that would making tanking even less likely in the future.

     

    Why not make it so that there is still a lottery, but it is for the pick in the following year's draft?

     

    For example, the lottery in April 2015 would be for the 2016 draft. Also, you could drop 4-5 slots no matter what.

     

    I think it would go a LONG way to never seeing this garbage again. The reward would be so far away and so uncertain that tanking would not have a clear prize.

     

    Are we really this crazy about losing a game in March 2015 that would not affect the draft order until summer 2016?

     

    Thoughts?

     

     

    I have no issue with tanking.. Sometimes you have to clean house and start over

  17. Open Letter to Buffalo Sabres Players

    in The Aud Club

    Posted

    Those selfish, selfish players!  How dare they think of their own careers and families? Don't they know that there's an important draft pick to secure?  A player that will likely take one of their places next season?  How can they play horribly all season (which is what all those tankers out there really wanted) and now that other teams have caught on and are trying to out-suck the Sabres, they go out and win a game?  Don't they get it?  They're not supposed to think or play like the professionals they are being paid to be; they should just act like pawns in a fantasy hockey scenario which allows feverish fans to live their lives vicariously and DEMAND that the team lose so they can POSSIBLY secure the highest draft pick so that the team can POSSIBLY select a junior player who may POSSIBLY be one player on a team which still needs to be rebuilt.  Ridiculous!

     

     

    who the hell cares about those players

     

    I just want a championship in Buffalo and that odds go up considerably with a generational player.

     

     

    the fact that these players played like crap all year then take offense when we are excited about the top 2 picks and start playing well when it means nothing is a KICK IN THE NUTS

     

     

    Screw these jerkoffs .. where was the inspired play when I spent $1000 and traveled with my family to Vancouver to watch them play..

     

     

    So yeah I demand they finish the job they have done all year.

    Yup, these guys are LOVING the fact that people are pissed.....and rightly so

     

    Lots of shouts of joy coming from Sabres' dressing room.

     

     

     

    rightfully so ????

     

    we endure and entire season of these guys mailing it in, we are so close to a top 2  guaranteed pick and now the team is going to start playing like they care.

     

    That would be the ultimate kick in the nuts to the fans.

  20. GMTM--"I think too much about McDavid. I wish I could help myself"

    in The Aud Club

    Posted

    I wonder if GMTM is thinking, after gaining a point on Arizona, what he'll do without either McDavid or Eichel?

     

    Tank Ver 2.0 for 2015-16?   Who will be available for draft in 2016?  

     

    No point in trying to rebuild if the right chips aren't in play.     I think most fans would be fine with another substandard year if it meant the beginnings of success in 2016-17.  

     

     

    No most of us bought into the tank and rebuild, but none of us have another year of tank left in us.

     

    Its time to move upward

    fans deserve to root for the tank.  The only reward for being in last is to stay in last and get one of the top 2 players in this draft.

     

    If Players have a problem with that then maybe they should of won more games

     

    If fans or media or anyone else has a problem with that, well they're not thinking clearly

    Another thing I hate about this is that they always talk about the anti tankers in terms of morals or ethics. I really don't give a crap about that. Tanking is a completely valid method of rebuilding, There is nothing morally deficient about it in my eyes.

     

    I just think it's a cop-out. Tim Murry's job is to build a team that will win the Stanley Cup. Period. All tanking does is make his job easier. I wasn't willing to sacrifice three seasons just so the GM doesn't have to work as hard.

     

     

    Gretzky Lemieux Crosby etc..

    the fact is generational players make the odds of winning it all much higher. I'm sick and tired of being a brides maid and if tanking for 3 seasons is what it takes to get a generational player than I was is and will continue to be on board.

     

    We've tried it the other ways and it has never worked out in Buffalo. Been thru 4 superbowls and 2 Stanley cups and I'm 0-6 like most of us... I'm just no longer willing to do it the other way, been down that road too many times.

     

    Nope I actually view what Murray is doing as the harder thing. It easier to to make a half ass team that doesn't finish last. Its harder to face the media and fans and trade away players that really aren't part of the future but make your team worse in the short term, and deal with all the fall out.
