Claude Balls Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 As Ruff has done many times in the past, I will not be at all surprised to see Peters in the press box Wednesday night. After watching Lucic absolutely steamroll anyone in a Sabres uniform last game, Peters needs to be on the ice for this game. Send him out during Lucic's first shift and try to get him to go. Maybe Peters beats his arse and sends him a message right away. Should be an easy call by Ruff to play Peters, but I'm interested to see what he does.

FearTheReaper Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I completly agree. I will not sit and watch Lucic hit everyone on the team wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristian Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Unfortunately, dressing Peters isn't going to stop Lucic from creaming us left, right and center unless someone like Gaustad or Cpt. Wonderful starts getting their heads out of their collective on put someone from the opposition on THEIR ! And on a regular basis, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stenbaro Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Now we have to rely on Peters to be the man??Please..He sucks..We need a tough power forward who carries a big piece of lumber and backs it up on the ice and with the fists..This team is so freaking soft its putrid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is not now, nor been or ever will be a "need" for Peters to be on the ice. Second! Why would anyone ever expect Peters to beat anyone's "arse"?

Why would anyone ever expect Peters to beat anyone's "arse"? First, this team plays like a bunch of sissies and without some toughness present they will keep on getting rocked. I know they got rocked the last two games, but neither Columbus nor Pittsburgh have a guy like Lucic either. Secondly, Peters has done much better at fighting this year and I haven't seen him get beat in the few fights he has had. He may have had a draw or two. If Kaleta takes a run at Lucic, he will just turtle or get the worst beating of his life. Peters is the only guy on this team that could possibly take on Lucic. No one else in a Sabres uniform could come close to matching this kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Focusing on him is a recipe for disaster, just look what happens every time we play Ottawa and Chris Neil ends up dictating the whole game. Run their skill guys, if they have d-men like Tallinder who crap their pants when an opposing forward enters the zone, then hit them too, but for the love of god, stop playing like a bunch of pussies. Lucic should not be a problem, The Sabres being a bunch of whiny little girls is the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see the last Boston game? Lucic OWNED the Sabres and the entire ice. He made Neil look like a pansy. Sabres have to slow him down to have any chance in this game. And yes, right now the Sabres are playing like a bunch of little bi*#ches. Even Mair has been a little soft lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kaleta takes a run at Lucic he will go head first into the glass, completely missing Lucic, just like every other time he tries to lay a big hit on somebody. :thumbdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but why is that he owned us? Because everyone on this team is soft, and the ones who aren't, are playing soft, including Rivet, Gaustad and Mair who are supposed to e the muscle of this team. Again, Lucic is not the problem, The Sabres being too soft is, and once again the word is out - Hit them all over the ice, you'll win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially Gaustad tho...maybe all the "take care of the planet" initiatives have snipped off his manhood. Show some freakin passion out there. I don't think 2 or 3 hits in one period against Pittsburgh is enough to get him off the hook. He got a nice little contract during the offseason and so far has looked just as lifeless as anyone else on the team. Why shouldn't he be enough to counter Lucic? Gaustad has been gutless lately.

When has Peters been the physical answer to any of the Sabres problems. Peters is not an enforcer. If you think playing Peters is going to keep any player honest you're crazy. Lucic actually play 15 minutes a game. I hate to see Peters play 15 minutes in a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting to see if they get their panties all bunched up (which they do wear judging by their play). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Balls Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 That's my whole point. Peters is the only guy with enough sack to go after Lucic or at least stand up to him. The rest of the team plays like a bunch scared little girls when teams start taking the body and playing physical. Peters only needs to play for 2 minutes to send a message. Something Gaustad and Mair used to do. Even Rivet did it the first two weeks of the season and even he has disappeared since. This team has no backbone. Miller had to stand up for himself again the other night against a pansy in Staal. No one else would touch him. Gretzky (not that the Sabres have anyone near his talent level) always had a goon on the bench. That's how he was able to play for so long and have all the open ice he had for the most part. Rarely did you see Gretzky get smacked around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Just don't ask this Peters to show up against Boston. Maybe this is why his fighting style is what it is today! :D 96enURZNhaU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude Balls Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Watch any of the Lucic fights on Youtube. He just creams guys and loves to throw body shots as well. Watch this video and towards the end at the 2:20 mark in slow motion he drills Ruutu. Remember, Lucic is only 20, but I think he was 19 in this video. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling he is going to be a thorn in the Sabres side for many years to come. I wonder if the Sabres would give a player like Lucic a second look. They seem to have a "Sabre" type of player in mind. Unfortunately toughness is not in the profile. There seems to be a Borg like assimilation process with the Sabres. Players with toughness slowly have the toughness drained from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately toughness is not in the profile. They might if he were from Buffalo. Though, they didn't go after Orpik ... at least not the right one.
