  1. GOOD.  Maybe now we can somehow get a game in Hershey again next year?? :blink:

     

    I look forward to seeing the Amerks in Hershey every year.  Really pissed they couldn't figure out a way to get these two great old-time AHL teams together AT ALL this season.  Just idiotic.

  2. I'd rather watch indoor soccer than hockey with little to no physicality. That is a non-stop, fast paced game, and the close quarters make it much more physical than regular soccer. I really enjoyed when Buffalo had a team.

    who the hell is asking for htat? i just want fights gone and the another two things are already illegal. plus the players have outgrown the playing area and that needs to be addressed. and soccer sucks!
  3. GREAT column by Bucky this morning:

    I am sure the "blame-the-media" crowd will be out with their long knives as usual...for whatever reasons they can dredge up. But sorry, the guy's opinions are legit because (despite what others have intimated in this thread), he DOES have sources and connections, and he DOES know what's going on better than the frequent visitors of an internet message board. His opinions are only opinions, but they are better informed than 99.9% of fans. That s a fact.

  4. Frankly Ted looks like hell right now. I realize that Pat was a good friend but why does Ted have to keep repeating to the media that something bad happened to a dear friend and now , when he is emotional isn't the time to get into it in case he says something he'll regret. Does he think the organization hasn't seen these soundbites he gives the media ? Just suck it up Ted. I actually have a lot of respect for Ted Nolan. I think he's a stand up guy with principals. Sure he's made mistakes in the past but he seems to have tried to better himself and has grown in the process. None of us are lily white. Lead by example Ted and coach this team. Forget about the shite you can't control and control the things you can. Sign the damn contract.

     

    i think i am starting to grasp why he hasn't had that many opportunities over the years.

  5. What's a kid like Grigorenko to think about this whole Pat Lafountaine affair?

     

    Wasn't it Pat who said that Grigo had to learn to be patient and EARN his place on teams.

    I think that Pat should look himself in the mirror. Twice now, Pat has been rushed into influential

    positions and then left at the first sign of trouble. That's not a good example Pat.

     

    My take on things is that Lafountaine was being forced into a figurehead role and that he didn't

    care for it. That's not what he signed up for. But, come on. He should have at least stayed

    to the end of the year. You gotta practice what you preach.

     

    I take this all back if it was something more insideous that people are keeping private. Well,

    except the Grigorenko part because this kid has to really have his head spinning right now.

    ha. grigorenko? he should just worry about learning to skate and hustle like an nhl player. i won't be surprised if he gets moved before he's back in the nhl.
  6. everyone (including me of course) needs to remember to take each others opinions with a grain of salt because of how little hard info there is.

     

    regarding concussions...it is not at all crazy to bring that up. it is as plausible as anything else. if lafontaine cared what the fans think he could say something, but he evidently, doesn't.

  7. It's been a long time since I've been here. Looks like I only post once a year, so let's make it a good one. From the outside, this seems to reflect more poorly on PLF than anyone else. Given his history in forcing a trade from Long Island, forcing a trade out of Buffalo, resigning from the Islanders after 40 days, and now abruptly resigning from the Sabres. It appears that while PLF is a very classy individual externally, his pattern of behavior indicates he's pretty temperamental and looks to dramatically leave a situation when things don't go his way.

     

    he also had concussions. lots of them.
