I'll jump in. I saw a lot of positives in the Tampa game one of which was the win. I'd like to see more positives out of this game. Namely another win. Winning breeds confidence yada yada yada. Still far from convinced that this team is anywhere close to being a playoff team. Hopefully there's a deal or two in the works that will upgrade the roster if not for now then for the future. As always, GO SABRES !

I see your point.

Not sure if its been mentioned but Kesler is injured again. What else is new. He's turning into a walking bandaid. Could miss 4 to 6 weeks with a broken foot.

Even if he helps make the sabres Better ? A G.M. should do whatever it takes to improve his team.

Names ? I'd be interested to see if we do have foul weather fans on sabrespace or if you're just delusional. :P

Sucks for Kassian that Kesler came back. That pushes Burrows up with the Sedins where he fits and moves Kassian down the depth chart. He's fallen off for sure.

Thats got to hurt.

Thank you hockey Gods ! Nice to win one for coach Rolston.

As good looking or better looking. I'm sure he is. I can only imagine big mama Chara. :blink:

He looks worse every time I see him play.

That 5 on 5 play in the Sabres end was like they were still on the P.K., Nasty.

I want to like this guy and I want to give the guy a shot. Hopefully the players respond. I can't help but see a young Ted Danson every time the camera pans by the coach.lol

The Hawks are 16-0-3. This team is a juggernaut.

29 games to go. I get the feeling we still haven't seen rock bottom. :blink: Lets hope they turn a corner. Baby steps. Rah rah rah. as always, GO SABRES !

I voted medium. Like others have said if done properly by a capable g.m. a rebuild can happen in a matter of years ( 2 or 3 ). Its looking like this team isn't going to contend for 2 or 3 years anyway the way things stand so go for it. Fire Regier. Hire a capable g.m. and start the process. I'm sick of losing but I'd rather bite the bullet now and see positive steps towards building a team that has an identity rather than this loose collection of players we call our team. I don't think Darcy could even tell you what type of team or what identity this team has. There doesn't seem to be a plan or mission statement. Its time for him to go.

Any seats available for the monkey hump ?

That second quote was refreshing. I remember hearing after Lindys olympic experience that Lindy would try to implement what Babcock in Detroit does by having his 'd' jump up into the play more but with having a less talented squad it wasn't working obviously. They just weren't good enough to have real success like they do in detroit. Get them back to playing defence first and build their confidence up from that.

This

Detroit gets 8 on the casmucks ? Unreal.

A g.m. that already has a network of other g.m.s he counts as equals is what this team needs. Not a greenhorn just trying to fit in. We don't need to be getting fleeced by the old boys network.

So basically this years roster next year ? No f'n thanks. Blow it up.

Almost unwatchable. Its like a trainwreck you just can't look away from for fear you may miss the carnage. At times I feel like a rubbernecker at an accident site. I've had a very hard time coming to terms with the fact that this is the team I love and not the Islanders or the panthers etc. Its our damn team that sucks. Shite man.

He's reading this ? O.k. I'll go. Darcy this team you've built is well, just bad. I feel real sorry for you and this situation you've put this franchise in but I have no qualms about telling you its time to move along. See, we need a change in philosophy. A culture shift so to speak. Your way of doing things really hasn't worked that well and Perhaps someone else should implement a game plan on how best to move forward. But do it quick Darcy. I realize speed isn't one of your strong points so do try to hurry would you. And thanks for your service to the team.

The thought of blowing it up and starting over used to scare the shite out of me but I don't really have that fear anymore. The alternative scares me more. Time to change the culture of this team.
