Sabres Fan in NS

MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!! +++++++++++++++ Now, Thanks, Matt for getting us going. But ......... The thread is not even tagged and where is the game being played? This above part is an automated ... blah, blah, blah .......... (wink - wink)

I know that the board has had discussions about him in the past and I am one of the very few that did not like Kaleta as a hockey player and did not want him on my team. So, yes, as a hockey player, but off the ice from what I know he is a good guy. Now, Marchand I would take in a heartbeat.

Will do ...

That guy is a big dirty scumbag player. No way I would want him to play for the Sabres.

I love the European fair play football reference. The rest of your post is pretty good too ... ?

He's some other guy.

Quick change it to something, or other, Scandella. ?????

I'm a lover, not a fighter, but ... bang ... bang Make that squirt ... squirt with a big water gun. No way, no how.

This must mean that Wilson is not quite ready yet.

This reminds me ... I wonder if you know my cousin, who is a New York Supreme Court Judge, in Buffalo.

My wife and I have been watching 60 Minutes Australia on YouTube. They do a very good job and always have very interesting topics that are often scary. We have always had Australia on our 'bucket list'. With all the snakes, spiders, sharks and gators that will kill you and the oppressive heat ... one bucket list item removed.

Did you watch the Super Bowl? That would have done it, apparently. Seriously thought, sorry you are having this issue and it seems to be ongoing, which makes me sad.

You have been around here long enough to know that I love Freddie.

So, is he sent to Rochester, or is he just released?

This sounds very familiar. 'you say black, I say white' 'you say bark, I say bite' 'you say shark, I say, hey man, Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars' ?

What the ...

I believe this is why KO and Bogo are wearing the A. For right, or wrong, this is Eich's team and he needs to wear the C. Bogo is the real captain of the team, IMO. He is showing it, in general, on the ice. It seems that he and KO and to an extent Eich (although it doesn't seem to be in him at the moment) need to be real leaders off the ice and in the room. @Weave, you are so right. A page taken right from the Ryan Miller book of rules.

Yes. And, yes.

Is the sky falling?

Yikes. I know what you are getting at here, but I think / hope that Eich will become more like who Oh la la was turned into.

Yup. On another note. It's good to see you. I hope things are going well.

Oh boy, this sounds familiar. I seem to remember that we had this discussion back a few years. It's still a valid question. I think that a big problem is that none of the players, nor the head coach, know what it takes to win consistently in the NHL, especially in the playoffs. I know that Phil was an assistant coach in Nashville, but that appears to be of little help. The question is how much time do they get to figure it out.

I don't think Phil will be fired, nor should he be at this point. The roster still has too many big holes to fairly judge him. I think JBOT feels the same way about his first big hire. Firing Phil now, or even at the end of this season, smacks of desperation.

Nothing. I would love to, but I am old and married. Boyes is young and married. Big difference. +++++ What a terrible game and effort. The Sabres do not have what it takes, yet. They are on the right track, I think, but a ways to go, which is what I thought / expected at the start of the season.
