I addressed that with the Vinz comment! We could rank the all-time Sabres goalies to dress but never play: 1, Halak 2. Irbe 3. Vinz There has to be dozens more.

For at least the next 8 years...ha ha ha...

I wonder what Lindy makes right now.

We need a hot librarians thread.

This isn't a list based on stats, or length of service. Nor is it based on what they did when they were not on the Sabres (see Barrasso, Tom; Fuhr, Grant). It's just my opinion on who I think were the ten best goalies the Sabres put on the ice - especially by what they meant to the team. I already know many or most of you will disagree but it's just my list. 1. Hasek 2. Miller 3. Edwards 4. Crozier 5. Barrasso 6. Desjardins 7. Sauve 8. Biron 9. Cloutier 10. Puppa Honorable Mentions: Malarchuk, Shields, Fuhr, Dryden Here's a good reference: http://www.hockey-reference.com/teams/BUF/goalies.html Fun Fact: Matt Hackett is #28 out of the 44 goalies who've ever played (not suited up - sorry Vinz!) for the amount of games played. Below him? Ty Conklin and Rob Stauber.

If he's being truthful, then fine - but I was always a Shanny fan and now I am OUT FOR BLOOD. Please, Sabres Season Ticket Holders - KEEP YOUR LEAF TICKETS - or at least sell them to a Sabres fan! I may come to the Leafs - Canes games here just to boo them and I hate the Canes!

I wish I was someone's alter ego. :ph34r:

They could end up #4! :P

That's what that all-CAPS post did to my eyes. Ha ha ha

Phaneuf is now the captain on Team Babcock.

if the sabres are not better by the 7-8 week of the season then you will be proven right and karma will have got the sabres. they treated nolan horribly and they didn't do what they could to try to get that last playoff spot and then they lost mcDavid they lost Babcock and the worst thing of all is they lost Nolan who deserved a chance and was never given what he deserved because pat laFontaine told him on the phone that they were going to resign miller and then make big trades to make the playoffs last year and then murray pushed patty out and then none of it happened!! then murray and pegula got rid of miller because battista told them he was no good! They wanted to be bad and get a better pick but there is no guarantee and then the Kings made the playoffs and they won the Cup!! That is how you win the Cup - you don't trade Miller and you have a Nolan on the team in some capacity.I'm still a Sabres fan and were all Sabres fans here i think but other than that PaSabresfan guy none of you see the big picture and you can't see that Terry has done nothing to get the team and now we have nothing!! No mcDavid no Babcock and yeah we have Eickell but he's not that good and he's going to stay at BC for three years and then a graduate year and then hell go to the next team Nolan coaches in the NHL. Hes not that good but if he plays for nolan hell be great because he'll compete even if he is on the fourth line for a long time because this is how you learn!!

I do too. I hope they trade for more vets on the downside of their career, up to trading the #4 overall pick, and/or trading their # 1 next year. I hope they sign every name free agent out there, and to long term, just like they did for Clarkson. I wouldn't enjoy anything more than Babcock directing them to pick up a bunch of old Detroit players or guys whom he won gold with years ago. Who wants to bet there is no way they get rid of Phaneuf? I think the only team who would have been willing to take on him and his ridiculous contract is Babcock's Detroit. Babcock's first three captains: 1. Yzerman 2. Lidstrom 3. Zetterberg His current captain: 1. Phaneuf

He does have the potential to be PA Two. Goodness knows we need more of that on this board. :rolleyes:

If Tim Murray accepted any trade for Eichel that didn't include McDavid coming back the other way, I'd personally lead the angry mob to FNC. I definitely didn't suffer through the worst two years of my life as a Sabre fan for RNH, Yakupov, and a friggin 1st next year. Words can't describe how bad a trade that would be for the Sabres.

I'd rather Dave Tippett become available.

It's interesting how hockey isn't like the NFL and there aren't hot young assistant coaches on other teams people talk about getting. I'm only hearing about former head coaches and AHL coaches. Remember that Lindy was just an assistant with the Panthers before we made him head coach.

Dave Tippett-Watch? I know they reported he had an out clause, and then they said he didn't. We're a year or two ahead in our tank, and it is starting to look like Phoenix might not have a team in a couple of years. It's a total pipe dream, but still...

He does work for the Academy of Hockey at the Harbor Center. He's stuck working with Olga all day.

Chris Kamel ‏@cmkamel 26m26 minutes ago @DownGoesBrown Let's not forget that the Leafs also "won" the David Clarkson sweepstakes.

Seriously - what else can we do? Same thing after you get dumped by a girl. :cry:

We still have that third round pick! :w00t:

Anna Kendrick is so hot in her more All-American way.
