Way to do your own thing there Stafford.

i'm betting the "long layoff" hurt the Sabres.

Sabres own zone play described with one word = Cluster######.

Don't underestimate these guys' ability to make any AHL hack look like 1998 Dominik Hasek. I literally cannot remember the last time they lit up a backup.

This. Fans always have a voice, and this is the best there is - Don't give them your money.

Yup, it involves leading the league in GA and GF. Halfway to greatness as we speak :wallbash:

I think playing the most boring and slow game in the league is what has Myers in a "funk". I don't believe it's a funk at all, I believe the Sabres play to his weaknesses rather than strenghts. In his Calder season, he was awesome at rushing the puck up the ice using that long stick to keep the puck away from the opposition, just to mention one of the things we never see him do anymore. I simply believe the Sabres play a game that is way too slow and defensive-minded for him to thrive in, as he's no longer the rookie and has probably been coached to be more defensive, and a new defense partner won't rectify that. Sure, other teams catch on to an extent, but I don't believe a Calder trophy winner becomes an overpaid nobody in just 3 seasons, for no good reason.

I tend to think I'd rather move forwards rather than backwards. Bringing back players who never won anything here anyway, just seems like at waste of time, and the last thing the Sabres need is another soft, stickchecking d-man. I wouldn't mind getting rid of Leo, but I'd rather give McNabb another look rather than bring an over-the-hill d-man who plays well under Lindy. To me, that is not a positive.

From freakin' Parros, too!

Lindy's always had his favorites, and his whipping boys. A thing I absolutely hate about him.

I call it damn good scouting and development, but your point still stands.

Like you said, a major overhaul is needed, and it needs to start with Regier & Ruff leaving. I wouldn't want Regier to oversee a roster overhaul, and I sure as ###### don't want Ruff coaching them.

Maybe this is just the usual "Hey, let's play like crap and get rid of the coach, oh wait it's Lindy, he'll never get fired, might as well try and turn it around" game they always play early in the season? :w00t:

Wait.... You mean you can actually DO this...??!

I'll take Sabretooth at this point, over Coach for Life.

Hottest line in the league means squat, apperently.

And please, Myers and Leopold - Stop making Ryan digging the puck out of OUR net,

Sabres owe a complete demolishing of Florida tonight. You know, so they can suck the next time out again :wallbash:

Every time I think these guys have finally turned a corner, they go and do something like this. Why do I bother getting my hopes up anymore.

Don't care what he believes in. Whatever it is, it's getting his team nowhere.

Statement game today. Has the team turned a corner, and will they build on the strong effort against Boston, or will it be the Sabres of old who usually follow up a strong game with a lacklustre loss? Time will tell.

Amen. Everything coming their way, they've had coming for years, couldn't care less how ugly it gets. They're a bunch of cheapshotting pukes, and they'll cheapshot you regardless, so might as well give some back. Enjoy Bruins, have some cheese with that whine.

And I feel pretty convinced most of the league feels the same way. Bunch of whiners, the second they get pushed around a little. Reminds me of the Cryers.

Always nice to hear gutless little pukes whine about "lack of respect".

Don't want to take credit for anything here, just want you all to know that when I tuned in, it was 3-1 Bruins ........ Just lettin' you know :P
