I voted no, yes, no. If DR is canned it is yes(obviously), yes, yes.

When were they exciting in back to back games? I don't remember. Heck, Black changed our preferences for home nights to decrease our back to backs last off-season. I think cuz they thought it hurt us? I hope so. It's hard to live in the present. You mean Trottier, Bossy, Gillies and Potvin? Four cups in a row. Excuse my name spelling if I'm in error. HaHa!

yes, go 4 it

Sunshine in April, despite the temp.

I'll give him time, but I'd rather see him develop the shut-down roll. Then offensive chances and rushes are fine. Our two top paid defensemen can't seem to play in their own end. That is a recipe for disaster; and we are living it! One of the top paid D has to be able to keep the opposition off the scoresheet. At 21 y/o Myers has a better chance of turning into that than a 30 y/o Ehrhoff. Excuse me if I'm off by a year or two on ages.

Yea, the old boy network black balled Nolan, even though he crashed and burned on the Island. Oops, Buffalonians and WGR don't let the facts get in the way of their opinion.

I have refused to read his columns for years. Listen to him on WGR on Mondays when in the car. Comical how he says he didn't watch the Sabre game and then comments on it. His only comeback to the other arrogant one(White) is Timmay. Rips players for defending their fellow teammates, then supports his co-workers. He's a D-bag. Sorry if that offends anyone.

Thank you.

Yea he should. Darcy has been pretty loose with TP's $ since he showed up. Putting aside cap accounting games, Ehrhoff has 18 million of TP's money for the last two seasons, Leino 12 million for two, Stafford 8 million for two and Myers 12 million for one. Not great bang for the buck, although Ehrhoff has been the best of the group.. I know TP has deep pockets, but one would think that even he has to have a breaking point. Even though Sabres' tickets are still one of the best deals in the NHL, he did institute the biggest single season ticket price increase in team history. Money does have some meaning to him. Just a cap question for those in the know. I'M NOT advocating this, but if Ehrhoff were traded, he'd have 22 million left on 8 years of his contract. Would the team that acquires him assume the 4 mil/yr hit we have or would it be 2.75?

I don't discount Miller's value to this team. There's not a lot in front of him. But, if he has no interest in staying at a $ value that works for the Sabres, he needs to be moved. I'd think this summer would be best, unless they gamble on an injury in net for a contender next year. But contenders don't have their own high draft position. I do think he'll be honest when he sits down with management to discuss the team's direction.

Wow, Christianl shot and the Austrian tips it home. We really paid a lot for that HUGE GOAL when down 6-0.

Have fun!

Wow, this is fun. What's #10 doing tonight? That's why you pay the big bucks, correct? Tonight is crunch time, right? Winners elevate their game. Who do we pay the big money to? They suck!! Look it up!

I have no vitriol, He's overpaid and doesn't justify his cost versus contribution to the team. That seems simple to me. He doesn't play DEFENSE at all. His 10goals per yr just doesn't seem worth the waste of money to me. No vitriol. I like facts.

That's his cap hit. As an owner of a business who meets payroll, my money would have been wasted by Darcy. I know TP is a billionaire and $ doesn't matter. That is a common opinion of many Buffalonians. I'd be pissed if I was Pegula for what I am receiving for the money I've given him Sure we played the salary cap game and filled his coffers on the front end. (Really instills motivation, doesn't it?). And yes, Sekera is a much better investment and actually understands that at times you have to play the man. Hell, even Campbell knew that. Ehrhoff is BAD on the puck in his own zone.

Who reads the news sports for insight? Oh, and bring in Lafontaine with all his management and coaching experience.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, When did he retire form the NHL?

And.......................he doesn't. Can't take a man off the puck down low, won't play the man, period. Good offensive player who needs to be paired with a defensive defensemen. He is a back end liability. Overpaid for what he brings? Absolutely! DR mistake that is only overshadowed by Leino that summer? Absolutely. Just my opinion, but a team coming off the Stanley Cup final who had all kinds of injuries on defense during the playoffs didn't try to sign him. He opted for $$$ over another shot at the cup. Tells a lot about his goals in the NHL.

And OT wins in those games would really hurt them, not to mention tie a breakers. Still pretty unlikely.

God they overpaid me

I wouldn't take either at this point. Briere is another small defensive liability.

If nothing else, it would make us bigger. LOL I just got home from the game, and we looked small compared to them as a team.

I've quit, though I'll be their Saturday. My brain says lose,but I'll be rooting for a win. Edit: there Saturday(embarassing)

Don't let logic get in the way of a thread........of course you're right. Buffalo hockey seems to be about living in the past. I understand the present sucks but it would be a mistake. Bring him in, and we can pair him with Gerbe and Ennis. Nipple punchers?

WEll, at least we have a long off-season..............................Again!
