  1. So tired of watching goalies steal us points in games we are getting dominated in... Is there something in the water here that turns anyone who comes to play goal into Superman this season for us? I mean seriously? 45 shots on goal and some career backup stonewalls them the whole game? If we screw this up I will be seriously pissed...no reason to spend most of the season in last place to ruin it at the end for nothing
  2. Suprised we didn't get both NFL and NHL
  3. Likely knew he was desperate to move them and everyone was trying to give up as little as possible..hard to get a fair deal when your back is against the wall to move players
  4. Big difference playing well for the Isles versus playing well for the Sabres facing a live firing squad every night... Surprised Neuvirth doesn't have rubber imprinted into him by now
  5. most likely the case, especially since he played in a game the night before
  6. We had a few black players well before Grier in Tony McKegney and Grant Fuhr to name 2...and that was back when black players were about as represented in the NHL as they are in Akron
  7. Per a report, Lemieux was included because he refused to sign with the Sabres... http://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/699212 https://twitter.com/AJonSports/status/565574257066147842
  8. Murray really loves big goalies...Lindback is 6' 6" 210lbs
  9. Sabres really wanted Kane and likely had to overpay a little to entice Winnipeg not to wait til the off-season to trade him. What playoff team wanting Kane is going to trade players off their roster for a guy out for the season? Probably none. Sabres had to force the issue, and ended up slightly overpaying, but if they got their guy I'm OK with it... They likely all but sealed their last place finish as well...
  10. Now if Edmonton could just win a game or two so we can get back in the basement...
  11. This is starting to get to a turning point quickly. The Sabres keep racking up wins and are currently only 4 points out of a playoff spot. That was almost inconceivable when the season started and especially after the first 15 games. Edmonton might not win 10 more games this year. Their goaltending is beyond awful. If the Sabres keep winning they might not be able to tank bad enough the rest of the season no matter how badly they play to have Edmonton pass them. I don't know what the right answer is...the team is playing inspired and clearly believes in themselves to a much greater degree than they did at the start of the season. They are starting to look in some ways similar to Nolan's "Hardest Working Team in Hockey" that made it to the playoffs with Hasek in goal...
  12. Not true, if they finished last they would have been assured one of those 2 players as this year they still could only drop 1 spot if they didn't win the lottery Scouts have now started saying their is almost no difference between the two and some even saying that Eichel might be a better prospect...he has been really impressive in college hockey playing against much older players than McDavid Their plan is doomed to fail because the 76ers roster would lose against some good college teams
  13. Things are not going as planned right now...Sabres have becomes one of the hottest teams in hockey winning 9 of their last 12 games and are one point away from being tied for 22nd in the NHL....far from the last place or 2nd last place team in the league, to cash in on the McDavid/Eichel sweepstakes, and starting to pull away from Carolina and Edmonton both of whom are languishing with 19 points... So what does Murray do? Does he conduct another fire sale to try and get more high round picks for any of the tradeable components left on the roster like Myers, Stafford, Enroth etc? Does he let this season play out the way it is going, with the Sabres now looking like they might actually be able to finish around 9th or 10th worst team in the league, pretty much destroying their chances at getting a franchise type player in McDavid or Eichel, or does he start making the roster worse for the short term for more long term gain. Would the team be better in the long term for learning how to play together and win as a group during this tough season or would they be better losing good players and finishing at the bottom again? Did Murray underestimate the talent level of the current team when he put it together? It looks like they needed to figure out how to play together but since that point they have played very well at times and have beaten some very good teams in the process, not necessarily because they have deserved to win many nights, but because they have gotten some outstanding goaltending, mostly from Enroth...plus the Moulson, Girgensons, Ennis line has become a terror out there... What to do, what to do? This team is going to completely blow up the long term plan for this franchise, kind of like what happened in Major League...GM/owner are trying to lose but the players and coach start learning how to win spoiling their plan... Very interesting to see what Murray does...
  14. WTF is this team doing??? Tim Murray must be swearing up a storm like the owner/GM in Major League...he put together a team that he thought would be last place easily and they are starting to win too many games now...3 straight against 2 of the best teams in the NHL no less...
  15. LOL!! Latvian fans really skewing the voting...Zemgus has 399,356 votes and 2nd place is PK Subban with 240,362 That is craziness... http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=741968
  16. This team is trying to ruin everything they have worked so hard for...winning 5 of the last 6?? WTF are you doing Sabres...this is NOT going to plan right now
  17. Sabres are killing themselves in the standings right now..cut it out guys!! Go back to sucking again!!
  18. The Sabres have scored the fewest goals(24) in the NHL and given up the most(66) this season. Their -42 goal differential is 28 goals worse than the next worst team at -16. That is just absolutely astounding 18 games into the season. Florida is the next closest team in goals for with 27. They have also played 4 fewer games than the Sabres, meaning if they merely achieve their average goal output, Buffalo will have scored somewhere between 13-15 fewer goals than the next closest team. They are losing by an average of 3.67 to 1.33 per game, which doesn't seem like a lot until you realize that they have actually WON 3 of those games... This team is on a crash course with the all time record book for futility I am afraid
  19. Wow, this is crazy...article just came out talking about the sudden rise in throat/neck cancer in men, and apparently its caused by HPV, the human papilloma virus, the same virus that causes cervical cancer in women...researchers think between 70-90% of throat/neck cancers are caused by this... http://www.forbes.com/sites/matthewherper/2014/07/02/why-thousands-of-men-like-j-p-morgan-ceo-jamie-dimon-are-getting-throat-cancer/?partner=yahootix
  20. He just got a boatload from his buyout...seems like the buyout players are all signing 1 year deals? Erhoff did the same
  21. 6' 2" 218 lbs...that's some good size...
  22. Seriously? Never watched any of those Buffalo-Ottawa playoff series a few years ago?
