    As a partial season ticket holder, I end up going to about 15-20 games. Last year we sold a lot. This year, I have the feeling we are either going to watch this crap, or just give the tix away...and even that might be hard unless their is a really good opponent in town.

    How do you define "losing on purpose"? Are you saying the players are throwing games? The coach is telling them not to try? TM tried to change up the team in the off-season, and they still suck. How is that "losing on purpose"?
  3. LabattBlue
    So they should just throw 30 balls in, and whichever one comes out first, draft firsts, even if it is the Stanley Cup champs? Is that what you want?
  4. LabattBlue
    So it's better to have a system where a team that just misses the playoffs could end up with McDavid?

    Was the coach manipulating the lineup in a way that decreased the chances of winning, did the coach order the players to "lay down", or did the GM just put together a crappy roster incapable of success ala this years Sabres?

    You are right about not trying different things in the preseason in an attempt to find out what works. Just stick your head in the sand and let the games get longer and longer.
  7. LabattBlue
    Explain?

    How is it possible that the most successful of the 4 professional leagues does not have a draft lottery? Somebody explain why the NHL has to have a lottery? Because Bettman came from the NBA which also has a lottery(Bettman hire in 93, lottery implemented in 95)? So what if a team tanks for one year, two year, or even more?

    In all fairness, the batters stepping out of the box after every pitch doing their "routine" is also not helping.

    Just got home. Saw none of the game. SOG 37-10??? To Toronto? WTF? I don't know what Nolan is selling, but these guys aren't buying. Something is wrong. Very wrong. Good for the tank, but downright embarrassing.

    Pick me! I would be glad to do that on multiple game nights numbering 15 or so.
  12. LabattBlue
    Thx. Not as bad as i was expecting. Can't wait to give it a try.
  13. LabattBlue
    I can't wait to see the pricing. I think it will be an eye opener...not in a good way. IMO...as long as the quality is there, I am okay with it.

    So who makes the "stay or go" call on Zadorov and Reinhart...TN or TM? Does TM have any say regarding whether they play or not if they remain with the big club?
  15. LabattBlue
    This bizarro world thread gives me a headache sometimes. lol
  16. LabattBlue
    ...and Kaleta almost ready to go? Nolan already has Reinhart's bags packed.

    Well, I'm not a person who will go miles for a Paula's doughnut that everyone raves about. Just not that big of a fan of doughnuts. Just saying if there is a DD and TH close to each other, I'm going to DD.

    Zadorov?

    LabattBlue replied to pi2000's topic in The Aud Club

    Let me ask this...how did Zadorov look in his one game? Completely out of place and overmatched like Grigorenko in his rookie year? Worse than Benoit and Mezsaros? If the answers are no to the latter questions, then why isn't he playing?
  19. LabattBlue
    Reinhart on the 4th line again and no PP time?Check Zadorov in the press box? Check Healthy doses of Mitchell, Benoit, Mezsaros, etc? Check I'll be watching the World Series instead.

    Interesting that you drew the line at the year after TB and CAR won the Cup without a "Norris" caliber blueliner. ;)
  21. LabattBlue
    You say that the dmen are all "still prospects", but then talk about all the forward depth. Aren't they also "still prospects"? This team needs an elite forward in the worst way. I'm with wildcard, if they end up with the 3rd pick, I am hoping that by the end of the season, a forward prospect is worthy of the 3rd spot. If not, trade out of it. Not too far. In the 4-8 range.
  22. LabattBlue
    Me too. I've never said anything different.
  23. LabattBlue
    I don't want to hear any Hanifan talk. This years "suffering" will be a major disappointment if we don't end up with McEichel.
  24. LabattBlue
    Keumper has been a very good find for me early this season...until the 3rd period started tonight(5 GA). :lol:
  25. LabattBlue
    It's just not happening unless the Sabres add something, and I don't mean a 7th round pick or Matt Ellis.
