#2 is exactly why I am leaving DC, and moving back. #1 is well Buffalo is home.I think in 5 years Buffalo will be nowhere to be seen on this list. Two reasons:
1. The Sabres will be a top-contending team.
2. The Buffalo renaissance.
(You may scoff at #2, but as a Buffalo ex-pat I pay close attention to national coverage of the city and it's totally changed over the last year or two from "Ha ha Buffalo!" to "Oooh look - Buffalo. How cool!" And when I've traveled there recently it's actually kind of a night-and-day shock with how much better the city is than what it was, say, 10 years ago.)
-
I'm guessing you haven't been following the Sabres' plan this season.
I have, doesn't mean I am happy about it.
-
Wrong. Larsson has never been given a fair shake in Buffalo and is still highly regarded by scouts.
I don't like his game at all. He seems lost on the ice, won't get into the dirty areas. We already have too many players on the ice doing the same thing.
-
When people look back on their lives, I have a feeling that 20 years old is probably not the year most label as "This is where I turned a corner maturity-wise".
Good point. I think mine was 40............
-
I agree that it's probably a little ridiculous how I'm reacting but the he's only 19 powwow was a little ridiculous, too. He deserves some criticism and questioning for these actions. It hasn't been just one incident.
The "I want him to get in trouble more" stuff is straight garbage. That's the stupidest point I've read around here in a long time. This isn't "personality." It's immaturity. However you want to look at it it's not a positive.
I'm not sorry for having the unpopular opinions around here. Thankfully some can deal with it better than others.
I for one love unpopular opinions.....
"NEWS: The Sabres have recalled Jake McCabe and Mark Pysyk from theRochester Americans."
It is about time. I would rather these guys get ice time versus Meszaros, or Benoit. I admit Benoit hasn't been too bad as of late, but I feel McCabe, and Pysyk are ready.
-
It may have been a little different than the norm for him considering the "issues". He also said that he enjoyed being approached by the fans as he was out, and about. Buffalo is a different town as the poster earlier stated.
-
The curse of Ville
The mention of VILE LAMEO makes me nauseous.
-
I have loved watching him play thus far. He logged almost 33 minutes tonight, and his play seemed to pick up through the end. He is going to be the anchor this d core has needed.
-
Mike Green is out there as a big-ticket free agent.
Not a big fan, but he would help the power play.
He's shown flashes and definitely has talent. But mostly, yeah.
The thing is, who are the other choices? Niemi might be better, but he's not the long-term answer and will be expensive.
The other guys out there are mostly just versions of Neuvirth.
Murray's really backed himself into a corner.
I think Neuvirth can play the #1, I also believe Makarov will be brought up as competition, or the #2. I don't see any reason to sign a big money FA. As far as Grigorenko is concerned, I would like to see him get a shot at some playing time. He definitely deserves it. Flynn, Ellis, and Larsson should be permanently be placed in Roch.
-
Ellis has no business on this team (he reminds me of Chris Taylor). Mezzaros needs to be put on waivers, Larson does not belong up(reminds me of Luke Adam). I would rather see Grigorenko up and playing 2nd/3rd line minutes.
So Nolan's just that incompetent then? Was he like this when he was with the Isels/Sabres before?
He is a great motivator, but not an Xs, and Os guy. This team needs that. I wouldn't be surprised if Trottier takes over the team next year.
-
And in other sports news, Mezzaros is still not good at hockey.
I want to throw the remote at him every time he is on the ice. Just BRUTAL.
-
I don't recall any. I remember him as being pretty well liked and supported. If his time here was incident free, I wonder if having him reach out to Kane as a team ambassador to share his experience might help with any issues Kane faced in Winnipeg?
I wouldn't think so. Well then again Chris Stuart isn't a white guy either.
Man, I remember that incident.
-
I've had it.
Look, I'm no huge MAG fan, but if we're going to start threads about shedding players, let's start shedding the ones who most need to get out of blue and gold sweaters.
Honestly, I have no idea why, after ONE decent (and only decent) season, Regier saw fit to give this floater a 4M contract. He does some stupid things during most games, and that's when he bothers to do anything at all. LIke years past, he won't reach for a puck that's three feet away from him (I guess that if it's not right on his tape, it's not worth going after).
Yeah, once in a while, he'll stick up for a teammate--most notably, Drury, when Staff was still fighting for a spot with the team. But generally, there is no effort, no heart, and whatever skill he has is wasted because he simply skates around.
Connolly 2.0 (but, to my knowledge, without the drinks).
Get rid of this guy ASAP. There is a team out there that thinks that Stafford is a good player who "just needs a change of scenery." Find that team, and make a trade.
he is gone.....funny how long this thread has survived. Now what?
EDIT: Yes, I saw the pass to Ennis. Nice. Freaking Korab could have made that pass. For that matter, KorabRules probably could have made that pass.
-
When really thinking about it I 100% agree with your statement.I mean, really. The whining about "No! Not our precious Lemieux" is just silly.
You gotta give value to get value. And we got the best player in the trade, by far.
-
Not Happy about Lemieux going the other way. I much would have rather just given Armia. We get an unsigned Goalie in return? Not sure we get the better of this deal. Especially with Kane out for the year.He has 35goals in 46 games, skates great, has more grit than a sandpaper factory.
-
I was reluctant at first as well. RJ is an icon. I have listened to him my entire life. But glad we have a good one in Dunleavy to take over.
-
Ennis - Grigorenko - Armia
Moulson - Reinhart - (2015 Draftee)
Hodgson - Girgensons - Gionta
Foligno - Larsson - Deslauriers
Gorges - Myers
Zadorov - Ristolainen
McCabe - Pysyk
Extra Forwards - Schaller, McCormick
7th D = Mike Weber
Gone
Flynn (RFA)
Mitchell (UFA)
Benoit (UFA)
Meszaros (UFA)
Stafford (UFA)
Stewart (UFA)
Kaleta (UFA)
Only one out of the lot I would re-sign is Kaleta.
-
Not that I hit from that side of the plate, but, Zadorov looks like a frickin' movie star.
No wonder he was late !!!!!!
-
Love the move by Tim. This is the difference between Hockey, and Football. Learn to be a professional, or you will not play.He's only 19, probably just an innocent mistake, but I like GMTM is sending a message... sucks for Zadorov, but he needs to be made an example of.
-
I can't believe I predicted this team would manage 40 more goals than last year :lol:
McDavid, here we come. Maybe the Isles will fall to 30th, and we get 1st,ans 2nd this coming year.
-
At least be competitive for F#^k sake. What a horrible game.
-
Yes I'm talking about the car, for those with minds in the gutter *cough chz cough* ;)
I recently bought a WRX and its a stick, and I just wanted to get a a feel for those who prefer manual shifting vs auto.
Auto is nice for eating while driving and extracurricular activities, however I've got my multi tasking while driving down to a fine art in the subaru.
Rant away
I would never drive anything but a standard. Love having the ability to control my car like you can in a standard. My commute into DC is a pain in the As@, but wouldn't trade it for the world.
-
Hope you are getting your vocal chords warmed up. Not there yet but looking like a great call
Absolutely, He deserves a spot this season. He has worked hard to get to this point, most kids his age would have given up after the trials and tribulations Grigo was put through.
-
I know the "what to do with Reinhart" was discussed previously. How has he looked thus far? I have listened to all of the games and he appears to be non-existent. What say you?
TRADE: Sabres send Brian Flynn to Montreal for a 5th

Now we just need Ellis gone, I assume a bag of pucks would compensate.
