Shall I roll out my fire Regier post now? The flyers who are currently 'mired' near the top of the eastern conference standings continue to make moves to try and improve, the latest of which was just a day or two ago. Whether or not the players they brought in do improve that team now or in the future is anybodies guess but the fact remains that they continually try to get better. What has Regier done for us lately?

I'm not going to argue with you about that. I've been sayin to fire Regier till I'm blue in the face. Not finding a reliable backup is only one of the reasons.

It certainly wasn't the team that pulled that big blunder to give up that goal. That being said,he did make some nice saves but thats what he's paid to do. Stop the friggin puck. His win loss record is terrible since he's been a Sabre and there's no disputing those numbers. You can blame the team or you can blame him but they are his numbers. When he goes to negotiate a new contract its those numbers that are discussed whether you believe the numbers are his fault or the teams.

It must be pretty damn disheartening to be a member of this squad and hear from the coach that Millers buddy Lalime is playing. You know that no matter how hard you work chances are you're gonna lose. It's pretty damn disheartening as a fan as well.

This game will be a real test for this sabres squad. Second of back to backs against this lightning team thats been a bit of an offensive juggernaut lately. If the Sabres can beat this team I'll start to believe that they've actually turned the corner. Lets not lose sight of the fact that regardless of their recent turnaround the same deficiencies exist that plagued this team earlier. They never made changes to the roster or coaching staff so am I right to suppose that this success falls on Ruff just as the poor play was blamed by many on Ruff and his coaching style? I guess you have to give credit to the players for buying in and deciding to work for their paychecks also. Go Buffalo!

Roy buries that one ...

Man you know it. Listening to the Bruins games is pure unadulterated torture. They are the worst in the league in my books.

that Vanek,Roy Ennis line is exciting to watch. Credit Vanek for being on fire lately, He looks like a threat to score every time he steps on the ice which is refreshing.

That was an entertaining game and the boys played hard for 60 min or thereabouts. Its about %#$^&@ time. Miller looked good for his first game back.

Good thing no one was open or Vanek would have dished that one off rather than shoot.

Its interesting that even the capitals announcers mention that Vanek is passing the puck far to often. Hopefully someone on the coaching staff has thought to mention it to him.

$hit,Myers stepped on a dime.

I'm impressed with the sabres work ethic so far. Someone lit a fire under these guys a$$es tonight?

Grier!

Was that Isaac Anisimov?

For a little guy Ennis goes to all the dirty areas without fear.

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

I have to agree.For all of Griers positive attributes they get cancelled out when I have to watch him try to skate.The guy is skating in slush or appears to be.What a tired skating style.

These guys are making Biron look good.

Scotts brother has hands of stone.

Oh $hit,we got a powerplay. :wallbash:

They played a decent enough period (sans powerplay) but letting in that late goal gives them the perfect excuse to wilt. Damn composite sticks. I'll take wood and fiber anyday.

Unfortunately for the sabres the leafs almost always outwork them and if not for Miller playing so brilliantly last season against the leafs we would have lost most of those contests. This year they have the general who will be trying to prove something for sure. I don't see a win here either.

But he continues to hand the puck directly to the opposition? He's having brain farts on a regular basis and its costing us. Something isn't right.

Bring someone up from the farm but for god sakes put him on the top line and give the kid some minutes. It can't get any worse than what we're seeing.
