  1. Is there no "ignore" choice on here? If someone doesn't want to read my comments, ignore me. Simple. No, not you, the solution. I am on this board 3-4 times a week but sometimes don't even sign on. This is a Sabres' forum and I don't know the history or the make up of the team and organization of the team as well as most posters which is why I mainly comment with my opinions on what I think of certain players or people in management. I had to look up what comeuppance was because I thought my definition was wrong...it wasn't. Not sure what you meant by the comment but water off of a Ducky's back. Find the ignore button if I am too smug now that I have got my comeuppance... The Jets will be back in the playoffs. Whether they can get out of the division is the question. There's still a few gems in the system that will join the team in the next few years. My thoughts on your Sabres going forward is that you might have to get a bit worse or stay the same as you integrate some of the younger players into the system and live with a another year or two of pain before you start seeing the youngsters pay off. There's a pretty good core of players to build around after you get Dahlin and a starting goalie. I don't think GMJB is going to trade away high draft picks like GMTM did.
  2. Not all Winnipeg fans are smug. How can you be we are about to get knocked out of the playoffs? Jets will win today but won't win the series. MAF won the series for them. We're being out-goalied.
  3. The Jets play the biggest game of their existence tonight whether it be 1.0 or 2.0. MAF is single handedly beating the Jets. Some of the saves he made in the third period of the last game were spectacular. It seems the only one that can score on him is Scheifele. Scheifele has 14 goals and the playoff record is held by Reggie Leach (from Riverton MB about 1 1/4 hours north of here. I do a lot of duck hunting up there) and Kurri...both had 19 one year. He has already set the record for road game goals in the playoffs. If someone else doesn't start scoring, we won't make the next round.
  4. You can't trade away a vet like ROR unless the return is silly good. I would think he is part of the core that you build the team around. You can't expect Middlestat to be a 2C in his first year in the league. Draft smart and don't trade first round draft picks like GMTM did. You guys have the makings of a really good team there if management does't try to rush things. Dahlin will be a Norris Trophy contender for years.
  5. Estrellas, Dabs and Bubba Kush. Bring on Vegas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank God Saros didn't play more this season.
  6. I am going to pick up some beer (Estrella) for game 7 and either drink in celebration or drown my sorrow.
  7. I think he is.The only decent game he has played this series is the 4th. The other games he.has been sub-par. Jets in 6!!!!!!!
  8. Officiating was horrible but what can you do. It was horrible both ways though. Does PK have pics of Bettman with farm animals? Also, PK loses more and more respect (none left now) every time he plays like that. Almost doesn't make it to the bench and miraculously recovers by next shift. Almost as dirty as Marchand too. I still say the Jets in 6 to win it at home.
  9. Congrats guys... I was pulling for you. Dahlin is another piece for the core of your team! What a great year to pick first overall. Nice to see the Oilers drop a spot and the Canes move up too.
  10. Helle stole us a game and Rinne helped out too. Goaltending has been huge this year but I would say the story has been depth. A player goes down and the next guy up steps up. We played game 5 against Minny with our whole starting left side D men not playing. Myers is a liability in his zone 70% of the time. He was playing well with Kuli in a 3rd pairing role with some 2PP time but we have enough O from the back end and Morrissey is just starting in that regard. I'd love to see Chevy ship Myers and Perreault over the summer. Almost 10m of salary there and Enstrom's 5.75m is off the books as of this season. Plus, we don't have a first round pick this summer.
  11. I think the winner of the Jets/Preds will play TB for the cup. I sure hope it's the Jets.
  12. Good luck against the Bruins...would love to see Boston lose.
  13. The Jets played the last game with their 1LHD, 2LHD and 3LHD not starting...also Perreault and Ehlers were out hurt and Armia missing most of the game and Myers playing hurt. Helle got his 2nd straight shutout and the Jets dominated them in the 1st period big time. Go Avs go.
  14. Foligno punched Myers in the side of the knee as he was going down...had a head shot on Trouba earlier too. In the 5th game, when we are about to close out the series, I would love to see Buff or Chiarot tune him up. Butt end to the chops would be about right.
  15. I am criticizing the chance he took....good teams don't do that...especially in the playoffs. You should watch the post game scrum and see what Maurice says about it.
  16. The D man on the other point?Even Maurice wouldn't comment on it. Like his O, hate his D zone and N zone play and pretty sure he is gone as soon as Trouba signs.
  17. Last man back and he dekes a guy with the score 0-0. This is what I dislike about his game. If his deke doesn't work, it is a breakaway the other way. Jets totally dominated for large stretches of the game.
  18. I think he means Winnipeg not Buffalo, no? Ref says pretty nice place to play eh? and Kaner answers better than where I signed last time. I'm not saying he will be back with the Sabres but I think he was talking about Winnipeg. I hope he's grown up...I don't think he has.
  19. No they don't, look a little harder. A putrid game by Myers even by his standards.
  20. Thanks no it was somebody called beer me or something like that. thanks no it was somebody called beer me or something like that.
  21. Does anyone know where that guy is that bet me on Kaner being moved? Lucic is a POS. I will have nothing good to say about him after the handshake lineup with the Habs a few years back.
  22. I'd take all those bad contracts for 1 cup let alone 3!
  23. 3 Chicago cups say your wrong.
  24. i liked our chances against Minny before Suter got hurt...now, I don't think they win two games.
  25. What a crock that was though. He started that season at 17 years old. He didn't turn 18 until January.
