X. Benedict Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I always thought Pyatt would have fared better in the league. Bernier was taking up the big and slow spot on the roster...with better hands and hitting. The Anson Carter effect was only worth about 6 goals for Pyatt skating with the Sedins. But he was clearly someone who Darcy finally gave up on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bottlecap Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I always like to point out to Bills fans that the first thing Rob Johnson did when he left Buffalo was get himself a SUPERBOWL RING in Tampa. Good comparison. Satan was like Rob Johnson, a passenger on a championship team. Both were trashed on their way out of Buffalo too. There was high expectations with Rob Johnson, but I think Satan produced for the Sabres. I can't say overall I was disappointed in Miro, except at the end.

Ultimately, Satan will be looked down upon because he was the face of the organization during the bankruptcy, the darkest days in the history of the franchise.

His phone call jesture did him in for me. He might have been my favorite Sabre for a short while, as I was not a Hasek fan, but I was never comfortable with it. Too much of a floater.

wonderbread Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Ultimately, Satan will be looked down upon because he was the face of the organization during the bankruptcy, the darkest days in the history of the franchise. My least fondest Satan memory was when he scored goal around the trade deadline and he went down on one knee and made the "call me" motion. From that very second on I have hated him. EDIT: Damn inky I had this typed and sitting on my alt monitor, while I was doing some work. I submit it only to see that you have typed close to the same thing.

He might have been my favorite Sabre for a short while, as I was not a Hasek fan, but I was never comfortable with it. Too much of a floater. Gotta call you on the floater comment. After 97-98, Ruff made Satan his go-to guy. Satan, at times by far, led Buffalo's forwards in ice time. In 98-99 and 99-00, he saw more ice than Mike Peca. After Ruff's first season, when he clearly wasn't enamored of Satan's game, he trusted Miro to be on the PK -- a lot. (X., this is one of the examples of Ruff using PK time as a "carrot.") Why would Ruff for so many years give so much ice time to a floater? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonderbread Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Vinny Prospal has been bought out in Tampa. Odd move considering they just signed him last year to a few year contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 As floaters go, Miro was far from the worst but you can't say he didn't pick his spots. Are we back to the empty-net goal debate? The fact that Ruff had him out in the final moments with a one- or two-goal lead should shoot down any notion he was lazy. Pick his spots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deluca67 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 As floaters go, Miro was far from the worst but you can't say he didn't pick his spots. How can a player float and still average 25-30 goals with zero offensive help from his teammates? The guy played with such offensive legends Dixon Ward, Brian Holzinger and Derek Plante.

inkman Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Never realized there was so much Satan worship on the board. I liked him, sorta, but he left something to be desired. BTW, the I never subscribed to the "empty net" theories nor did his exit bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
