Who Else?

Tallinder's strength is his positioning. This also happens to be Leopold's biggest weakness. There may be no majic between Tallinder and Myers. Maybe the sabres need to find a d-man who plays a similar style without breaking the bank.

I think Myers might look great in a Devils Sweater

I'm starting to believe that there is also a "concept" of Ott around here, much like the "concept of Kassian"

Doesn't really look like he belongs in the league. Unfortunately he fits right in on this team.

Drury Briere Hecht Grier Connolly Dumont Lydman Numminen Last Time the Sabres were relevant in the post season the roster make up was almost the opposite.

Mike Weber should hold a d- only practice and shoe=w the rest of the softies how to take the body and how to crisply move the puck.

I'm guessing Sekera is out. There can be no way Lindy puts leopold and Myers together again today. So this is what is going to happen. Whoever plays next to Leo today is the scapegoat. Unfortunately I think it will be Weber since they played a few shifts together last night. Leopold will be running around not covering his man trying to stick check everyone and pinch when it is the wrong time. This will make the other D look horrible now matter how they play.

Worst Trade Ever. Oh wait what happened last night? It's a trade. Both teams are supposed to win in the end. I remember people jumping all over Darcy after Burke's "fleecing" comments. Now Vancouver doesn't get "fleeced" and people are yapping about that.

Next plaque. Boychuck breaking Vanek's ankle with a slash.

When has this staff every worried about chemistry? I complete agree with you though. The right answer last night was planting the two stooges on the bench.

Leopold and Myers have to be one of the worst D pairings I have ever seen. Neither guy ever seems to know what the other is doing. Sometimes it looks like they are chasing each other. After the first couple goals/shifts with these two clowns last night shouldn't a coach try to change something? As for a D partner for Myers, why not try Weber. I know they both play on the right side, but maybe Myers could use the switch. He really couldn't play any worse.

Where's the love for Mike Weber here? This guy is exactly what the sabres need on D everynight. He actually takes the body.He do esn't throw that stupid blind back pass behind the net to the other defensemen. He actually passes the puck directly out of the zone when he gets it. Sekera and him played great together last night. Why the hell han't he been in the lineup?

On a good note Mike Weber looked good. Now that Kaleta is down he is going to have to stay in the lineup. Why the hell were they changing lines with 6 seconds left in OT when Toronto had the puck? Are these players that unaware of when and where they are in the game. If they can't put their heads down and get back for the final 6 seconds, they have no chance of getting anywhere. As mentioned above, Ellis in for Gringo in a tied game in the third after he scored? The lockout was a big FU to the fans of the NHL. Keeping Lindy is a big FU to the fans of the Sabres.

Who is this Leino guy? I thought he plays for the Isles now or something. If Ville is any kind of answer, this team is a lot worse off than I thought.

One can dream.

If there is one thing this organization has done well over the last few years, it is making excuses. If they are concerned that benching Myers would damage his psyche, perhaps they could wind up that excuse making machine and provide a reason why he is sitting and still protect the little confidence he has left. 3 games in four days, and Brennan still hasn't seen the ice really bothers me. So much for the momentum he built up in the AHL. When was his last game time? Lindy will now put him in like the backup goalie to fail.

Send him down and hope for a start with a new coach next year.

Fire him for this! Fire him for That!. Just get rid of him. I'm sick of watching veteran player skate around in confusion. And I'm really tired of watching the Sabres lose to teams they should beat year after year.

Back on in PA

Nothing like flipping between DTV logos when you want to kill em. The logo does make a nice target for a remote throw.

I don't want to hear any excuses about being tired or used up after tonight's game, but if they lose I'm sure we will. Sabres should have a large advantage in freshness tonight. Four able bodied NHL players sat out last night. Dress them and jump all over this team.

Good point, I often wonder about these coaches. For the past two years, the defense on paper looks great and with Ruff's insistance on strong two way play from the forwards, how can they consistantly look this bad and out of place?
