I only have one thing to say...sit Scott and whatever defenseman Lindy views as hurting the team the most, and dress Weber and Brennan.

There's only a week left for his supporters to say this..."He's only 22!" Then they will switch to "He's only 23!" That being said, Myers looks all screwed up. Bad defense, little to no offense. I think a case can be made that he has regressed each season. All of a sudden, that $10 million dollar bonus looks ridiculous. Hopefully he snaps out of it.

Anyone else have coworkers that think they are underpaid, and everyone else in the department is vastly overpaid? Some people just don't realize how good they have it. :angry: I'm sure I have complained about this before, but said coworker raised this issue once again today. Why always on Thursday? :lol:

Chatting with the GM about the team is one thing. If it turns out that he is dictating player moves, it's a whole different story.

Something wrong with a little tongue in cheek humor(coach for life)? I have plenty of things to get angry with in life. The Sabres aren't one of them.

:nana:

"Goalie for life"? :rolleyes:

The "suits" that are filling the ACC are not the same fans who are attending games at the FNC.

I always ripped on Jim Lorentz for being boring and stating the obvious, but after several years of listening to the stylings of Harry Neale, I'd kill to have him back right about now.

I agree. Never underestimate Sylvester's brown nosing talent. We have "GM for life" & "Coach for life", why not "Annoying broadcast personality for life"?

My biggest surprise is how little the puck has been on his stick in any zone for a guy playing center. I am not sure if it just nerves at this point, but as others have pointed out, if they send Grigs down, the center depth if the event of injuries is frightening.

Disclaimer...I know it's only been two games. I know "coach for life" is not to be criticized, but am I the only one who thinks that giving Grigs a little PP time might help with his offensive confidence?

Found it thx. Same here in Buffalo. Never even checked that high. :doh:

I was watching the Stars vs. Wild game for all of 5 minutes before I saw Roy fall to the ice. Don't miss him one bit.

I have probably asked this during free preview in past seasons, but is TWC the only provider where most of the games are not in HD? From what I can see, they have one dedicated channel to show the games in HD. The rest are standard def.

I love the fact that the WIld have a player by the name of "Stoner". :lol:

Sometimes it is not as easy being at the game, but it seemed like he was a turnover machine every time I noticed him, and in addition, he made an awful pass on the 3 on 1. Maybe it was just me.

...and for the poster who asked, yes, the Sabres did salute the fans after the game.

Just got home from the game... - Chet & Muffy were in mid-season form while player introductions were going on. Either that, or I'm not giving them enough credit, and the luke warm reception was a reaction to the lockout. - After hearing what some of the other teams were doing, I expected to walk into the arena and find out about some "fan appreciation" events. I can't believe there was nothing more than the discounted hot dog/chip combo. I'll go so far to say I was shocked. - Despite scoring the GWG, Myers may have been the worse Sabre on the ice not counting Ellis & Scott. - The shot Hodgson had from the slot in the 3rd period had me in awe. Not only was it a lightning quick release, but it was a hard and accurate shot. I also was impressed with Hodgson's skating. Not great, but not nearly as bad as some make it out to be. - As usual, the 300 level was freezing! - In game presentation was as lame as past years. At one point they had kiss cam going on at the same time they were doing a giveaway in the 300's where they pit one section against another. - I thought Ehrhoff was their best defenseman. - Except for the no look pass that led to a great scoring opportunity, and drawing a penalty, Grigs wasn't that noticeable, good or bad. - One of the escalators to the 300's was broke before the game, causing major gridlock. - I think Lindy would be wise to alternately dress Weber and Brennan until Gerbe is ready. Scott is useless, and I'd rather dress 7 blueliners, and keep them in game ready shape versus 2 minutes of Scott...unless we are playing the Bruins. - Damn it was cold walking down Washington St. to the game! - Despite the lack of points, I thought Ennis was one of the Sabres best forwards. GO SABRES!

I often look at how many seasons they have missed the playoffs. I didn't realize how bad their number of playoff series wins was over the last decade. WOW.

DR's number of seasons missing the playoffs speaks for itself in a league where half the teams make the playoffs. Not even worth debating. Terrible move. How about waiting until the summer?

I fixed what he meant to say

Unless something unusual happens, sometime in the next few days, Tim Connolly will play his first pro game at the minor league level.

- Millers cuts loose with a WTF wave on Sunday. - The Flyers go up 2-0 in the first period, and Lindy shuffles all the lines. - The anticipated Scott-Lucic fight doesn't happen, but Lucic will go with Ott at least once, maybe twice. - Enroth gets one start next week, gives up 6 goals, and doesn't see the ice the rest of the season. - I hit the alumni club 50/50 not once, but twice! - They drop those army parachute guys with the free stuff from the catwalks, and someone falls from the 300's trying to get one. - Kevin Sylvester loses his voice..forever. - Miller has a breakdown when Grigo walks on the logo in the locker room. Uncosolable. - Sabres sweep the Leafs. Leafs fans attending the games in Buffalo don't care. Great shopping at the Galleria, cheap beer at the game, sleep it off on the way home on the bus. - Actually predictions on how the seasons goes or individual players. Who knows?

I don't think Stoll is going anywhere, and he may be overpaid, but he is not "garbage".
