  1. Shake up in the office PAT LaFONTAINE RESIGNS

    in The Aud Club

    Posted

    So let me get this straight... LaFontaine comes on board at the owner's pleading... his house is for sale on Long Island... his kid commits to Canisius hockey... the owner was and is a Sabres fan first and foremost...? C'mon... Twitter is like flu virus... it only takes one to spread... if anything this about Black and an alpha male struggle... Lafontaine has peed into his territory...

     

    So in your first post you try to bring sensibility and rationalize what's happening? Have you read anything in this forum? :w00t:

    Welcome aboard

  2. OFFICIAL: Ryan Miller, Steve Ott to St. Louis for Chris Stewart, Halak, Carrier and two picks

    Guys... It's real.... Ryan Miller is no longer a Buffalo Sabre.

     

    Despite the fact, I went to the rink tonight to say goodbye. I will miss this ball of semi emotion and his effort to make us legit. I have a playoff team to root for now. For more reasons than one obviously with a bump in draft pick if he re signs with them or (not sure) gets to the conference final?

     

    Wow I am an emotional mess now. I will miss this guy. He has given us so much. Go Blues!

    Great post.

     

     

    Thanks for taking the time to capture what I'm sure many of us feel as fans of Ryan MIller.

     

    I know it's probably asking too much in today's jaded world, but it would be nice to hear chants of "Thank-you Miller" like back in '75 with the "Thank-you Sabres" chants in the Aud.

     

    GO SABRES!!!

     

    Thank you.

    I will absolutely be standing and chanting. In one way I think just the taunt Miilllerrrr

    Miilllerrrr would be cool too. He will after all be the competition soon!

    I wish they would post transcripts of those interviews for the hearing impaired, and, in my case, the patience impaired. I just can't sit through nine minutes of that when I know I could read it in two.

     

    I watched and am glad I did. My beef is the usual you can't hear what the question was on half of them. If you're a fan you should watch that video. Miller is at ease. His guard is down. He is still thinking but this is a really cool q and a with him. What he says about the city the people and what it means to play in a place where the people are fans and the players are noticed and not invisible. Not every player gets that.

    It's the second last one you'll see from him my friend. I encourage you have the patience to watch it. You will be pleased with the reflection of Ryan Miller. I'm very glad that I invested the nine minutes and change which is NOTHING compared to how much I have invested over the years. And I for one am GLAD he will play his final game tomorrow. I will be there one last time to witness him and hopefully rise out of my seat screaming MILLERRRRR!!!! I thought the last game last year was the swan song but I'm positive this is. Watch the video.

     

    Thanks for the memories Ryan, I guess my jersey with your name and number will get creatively framed now. Go win a cup dude.

    Sportsnet radio throwing a surprise team Pittsburgh in the Miller mix and then almost saying no way at the same time because of Shero and Bylsma the two guys who didn't use him in the Olympics.

    That would be really interesting to see Miller with them AND have Crosby as a teammate!

    Would you give Girgensons and Zadorov for him?

     

    Two firsts next year, with the possibility of losing out on the McDavid sweepstakes? I'd have to think about it long and hard.

     

     

    Yes but as you said I don't think that's what couver wants

     

    Seriously? NO! Those are our Messier and Pronger for the next decade + and the only two untouchables. Take anything but them.

     

    This teams in a lot of trouble and giving up two long term stars for one isn't helping.

    So, if we are going to field a good team next year, one that we would be in the fight for a playoff spot, why would the Sabres ever want to trade Miller? For good or bad, he's a playoff-calibre GT and would be coveted by any playoff-hungry team with a GT hole (which we would be without him).

     

    That said, unless he's dead set on leaving via FA, if we want the Sabres to be fighting for a playoff spot, there's very little reason to trade him.

     

    Conversely, if he's traded, I expect a full on tank next season.

     

    Don't expect full tank next year. The roster will be very different and Nolan will be in year two. The goalie while maybe not Miller doesn't mean he won't at least be capable. And whatever gained by trading him helps in other places on the team.

    A question I have is why can't the Sabres get more French Canadian players? There's not even one on our team right now. Not sure if we have any in the pipeline either. Many of these players were almost born with skates on their feet. Hockey is in their blood. Montreal/Quebec is synonymous with hockey. They drive to the net like no other. We have a great history with them, Perreault-Martin-Robert, Pominville, Briere...Why can't we have more?

     

    In the system Freddie Roy?

    I'd look for wholesale changes in the scouting department this summer....

     

     

    I'm cool with that. Even Devine since other than getting wood over Zadorov has been part of this mess all along. I don't hate Devine by any means but there is most certainly a new Sheriff in town and Devines fingerprints are all over this team. Adios.

     

    Edit:although to be fair I like Devine. And loved his comment about Zadorov. Do you want to get tougher to play against? I thought he would help in transition maybe his time has come.

    Good luck o him if goes or stays.

    As I've become more and more used to disappointment with these types of "events" I don't expect much to go down. I could definitely see Sam Gagner going to LA as those talks have been loud today, but other than that I don't see any reason for teams not to wait.

     

    WE are doing something I believe tomorrow if not right now or the next three hours.
