Haven't missed him one iota. Could care less if he finds success actually.

I agree with you. Enroth has had a bad record for a good long while but imo that has so much to do with the way Lindy manages his goaltenders. I'll admit he has to play better but tonights game was so far from being his fault. Tonights game was just a continuation of bad play, breakdowns and coaching that hasn't adjusted well since literally the beginning of the season. Anyone notice Lindy talk to anyone on the bench tonight. Did he actually coach or just stand there stonefaced with a lost look on his face. I'm just curious. Maybe he has no answers.

My God we suck wind. We are one bad hockey team. I'm embarrassed for the first time in my life to say I am a fan of this sad sack team. 40 years of dedicated fandom. Not always a happy fan but never an embarrassed fan. I would feel terrible taking all these little people for their hard earned cash if I was the owner of this team.

I think the whole idea is to keep peoples sticks out of the air away from eye level ?

He has the same boss as them doesn't he ? I've noticed he rarely says anything negative about the team.

Not at all. It was more enjoyable than this. We still had hope for better things to come.

The Sabres are busy killing the power play again. Pathetic.

Score. We're gonna win the cup !

Myers looked absolutely awful on that goal.

But we sure do have a way of making other teams look awesome. :blink:

Holy Shite. Anyone see Rinaldo of Philly knock out that Tampa player tonight ? What a fast and furious fight and ko. Scary.

Just got in. Did I miss anything ?

As always, GO SABRES ! Thats all I got. Its getting difficult to get excited about our chances.

Entertaining game.

Your first point sums it up for me. Sneaking into the playoffs as the # 8 seed is not success. But this is how Darcy and Lindy have measured success for years. And they've been left in place to continue the trend without ever becoming an actual contender. The problem is they've missed more than they've hit. And they've still been left in place to continue the trend. It makes absolutely no sense to anybody. I don't mean this in a derogatory way but it only ever made sense to team sunshine and kittens. Well their membership has taken a real hit this season as they jump over to team stormcloud in droves. I don't blame them. The fact that everyone seems to be agreeing with each other about the sad state of this team is telling. Is everyone wrong ? Perhaps nobody in sabrespace knows anything about this game ? I think not. Something stinks in Pegulaville and the stench is too hard to hide.

I'm beginning to think this. We've been told for so long that our D is deep and based on the contracts DR has handed out we've come to believe we have world class talent on D and in our forward ranks but are they world class ? How often are our players in the top 50 in scoring ? Aside from early returns this season not often. We are consistently rated way below everyone else. How often are the Sabres considered a favourite to win anything or even contend ? Not often yet we are constantly told how great our talent is, how great our drafting is, how great our development is but where has it led us. We are on the outside looking in pretty regularly come playoff time. Management has thrown us a line and most of us took the bait. When will TP realize what many are just starting to vocalize ? When will Darcys chances finally run out ?

As bad as its been the last couple games. Well, for most of the season really I don't think this is the low water mark that we're going to hit this year. I really get the feeling things will get much much worse. Friends of mine that are fans of other teams ( all of them ) are asking me why the Sabres are so damn bad and whats wrong with this franchise that they don't know how to get it together. I tell them the problem imo is that Terry P has a perception problem related to his lifelong crush on this team and its former players. It appears to me that he can't separate his loyalty to Ruff and Regier from his business sense or that his business sense disappears when it comes to Ruff and Regier. As someone else said earlier maybe Ted Black can talk some sense into him. For the love of God Terry I love you and what you bring to this team but please listen to the fans. If you can't hear them I'm pretty sure it'll get louder.

This team has to be able to find a viable option to Gerbe. Love the kids heart but he accomplishes absolutely nothing out there and I could have swore a couple of times I thought we snuck a pee wee player out on the ice for some much needed offence.

Saucy

I don't know what to think anymore. Damn we need these points. I don't have much faith in our loveable losers after that pathetic effort against the habs. I'm going to spend some time watching the super bowl instead and enjoying my b-day. But as always GO SABRES !

He left the game hurt came back then disappeared. :blink:

Is this occupy thingy like an online petition ? If so I've pitched my tent and thrown my hat in the ring. I swear I won't shower until ownership does something about management and coaching. Sniff sniff. Wooee ! Smells like a shitthouse door on a tuna boat in here.

Agree.

The D and depth of our D is highly over rated. The forwards are generally smallish and considered talented but always seem to be in an offensive funk. In a prolonged slump if you will. We are a mess. If this group of players are as good as T.P. and Regier say where does the blame fall? Am I to believe that its just a case of an entire roster being unmotivated and unprofessional ? Is Regiers ability to judge talent that off ? Is regiers ability to assemble a cohesive team capable of playing with and for each other that bad ? Where does the blame lie for this mess ? And if this team is as good as team management says why are they not able to get the best out of them. Everyone speaks about the great scouting,drafting and player development of the Sabres. If that really is the case when does that pay off? After how many years ? What does Lindy owe his longevity to as a coach and where and when did the glory years happen ? Truthfully I can't remember any. He's had some success but coaches lose their jobs all the time with better records than his. Thats my rant. Breath. Breath.

Thats what I meant. It was a joke about your lack of blame for the coaching. No offence intended.
