  1. I remember Rick Martin's bad concussion... half the team came back with helmets the next game include Perrault... I think Robert shunned them until he retired... the last guy on the sabres I remember without a helmet I think was Phil Russell
  2. Rick Dudley - Hair Stylist
  3. They are 18... I am not sold on anyone this draft... I dont think anyone is cant miss... I know you cannot teach what Martone has... I want more of that... Maybe Martin and Bear have this as well and will be better players more physical... honestly.... never saw them... if they are bigger and more physical than Martone.. ok... get them.... To me the bottom line is I would like us to focus on players that can bring skill and physicality to the game... and not just willing physicality but, mark off on your calendar when you are playing this person physicality.. we currently have none... To me its Martone... and not that it means anything... but the seems like the majority of mocks agree... but again... 18... Not sure why trading up in all rounds of is limited to the NFL... happens all the time... just looked randomly draft tracker and lots of draft pick only switching was done including actually the Sharks moved 3 spots to get our 11 last year and we got their 14 and 42. Is it likely to happen... not really... in fact I am pretty much resigned to anything I think makes sense Adams gonna do the opposite... We will likely end up with a 5 10 170 skill player that we just had to get cause we dont have enough of those...
  4. he will own nothing he is too busy making excuses and transferring rationalized blame.
  5. Trade a 2 to move up a couple of spots and get Martone... you cant teach his size or attitude...
  6. Bad News Barnes!
  7. Tim Rigas - HR Director of Integrity and Ethics
  8. Exactly, put lipstick on the pig...rinse , wash, repeat.
  9. So no stats... just observation... I think faceoffs can be over rated at times... i also think if you are a team that struggles with puck possession and play the man poorly that losing face offs more often than you win requires you to play in a place that you are not good more often... where a team that being strong on the puck and corner play is their strength I dont see it being as big of an issue.
  10. LOL now thats where stats come in... I do remember Ruff on multiple occasions lamenting our poor faceoffs... maybe it improved at the end of the season... I dont know... but it seemed we lost critical ones.. a lot...
  11. Stats are great... but honestly, the chances this D gives up especially at critical times they are bad... to make it better our goaltending sucks too... They are honestly both bad...In addition, they do not play complimentary hockey with the forwards, the are terrible on faceoffs... horrible in the clutch, dont control the puck down low... So much wrong with this team.... I do not think you can exclusively blame the defense... but they are certainly part of the problem. Stats are a great prelim... they eyes are as well.
  12. This falls in the catagory of "you cant make this sh(t up"... then again everything they do does... and I am sure he didnt have a conversation with him... I can here the conversation now... TP: Well Kevyn, what do you think about Holland... KA : (sheepishly) well Terry great guy had some success.. why TP: Well I was thinking we might hire him to be your assistant Lackey.... KA: well... uhm... we could do that... there are other options I was thinkng of though TP : well of course why dont we call him anyways to see if he is interested LA: Sure Tero! I have an idea, lets have Stahl give him a call give him something to do! TP: Brilliant KA: Ok Terry I let him know... wanna take a break and go eat Crayons!!! I have been saving the purple ones for you!! TP" Yeah!!!!!!
  13. Which is like training my 5 9 230lb body to dunk a basketball on an 11 foot net with you on my back
  14. Darren McCarty - CFO
  15. Don Koharski - Head nutritionist
  16. Literally he is the only thing about this team that I enjoy.
  17. I think it is very true... that the playoff experience is helpful... hopefully some decade whomever is on our team may get some... and for those players it can develop who will take that experience away it will most certainly help... But I do think if the team isnt constructed the right way that experience would lead to not much... I go to the Sabres teams from the mid 80s early 90s that were perenial 1st round exits.. no amount of experience could make those players playoff hockey players.. more often then not the series were not even close... some were... but most they were dominated especially in the clutch... but again to your point... that experience for those that can be playoff players is clutch...
  18. Gilbert Perrault - Oral Hygiene and Dental consultant
  19. Vonte Davis - team building and commitment specialist...
  20. Ted Nolan as Marriage counselor... IYKYK lol I was at the salute game!
  21. So true, every year when playoff hockey starts we are reminded of how exciting it is... intense physical and sometimes down right mean and nasty... then I listen to everyone wanting this team to make the playoffs... and think they would get swallowed up like guppies in playoff hockey... and the only ones not eaten would be the ones hiding under the bench... so much more is needed to be a competitive team in the post season... we are so devoid of that... its past how horrible Adams has gotten production and development from this group its also roster construction... Owen Power, Quinn, Peterka, Byram and Bryson would all look like Denis from Slapshot with PTSD in the locker room and anyone who actually resisted would end up looking like Dave "killer" Carlson... so much different required in this roster construction... with so many incompetents trying to do it... sorry, but I see this current roster as constructed maxing out at a 5 game first round playoff exit... IF the dream scenario played out next year... however realistically, not likely to even make them... but if we did we are likely gonna turn away from the beat down that will ensue...
  22. I would love to get Zadorov back i hated we traded him but alas... he is too physical and his pirroutes are horrible so no chance
  23. Not unreasonable to Pegula he could care less about winning and even less about what we think... we are just the stupid little people he laughs at for still caring. There can literally be no other explanation for this level of incompetent depravity over and over and over again no one can possibly be that bad at what they do unless they are trying to.
  24. Because 14 years of abject failure is clearly not enough for Pegula... he likes it...
