nfreeman Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 I think that had much less to do with his own situation than helping the negotiating posture of his former teammates... and it cost him nothing. I'm glad to have Grier back, this will help holding on to leads. Good call, as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spndnchz Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Grier cracks Ruutu and makes him bleed. He stops because he hurt his hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X. Benedict Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Remember Grier utterly destroying Darcy Tucker? Tucker got up in a rage and immediately cheap-shotted Hecht, missing his head but connecting with his knee. Tucker should've been suspended. It was still a huge hit by Grier. And a clean one.

samothyev Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 This is absolutely an awesome signing, he is a bit older but man is he hard to get off the puck, gritty corner diggin... Darcy I thought that pop I had in my head was this cold letting loose. It now seems you got your head out of your a$$!!!! Bout time!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpandean Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Between the fight he had with Rivet and this hit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOMjiKAQ5JE Montador is going to have nightmare flashbacks when he walks into the locker room.

That Aud Smell Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Fear the Grier! love that. Not to mention veteran leadership and accountability in the locker room. definitely the type of attitude that this team needs. one of the issues that everyone around here seems to agree on is that this team comprises too many peers of the same mentaility; having grier in the room along with rivet (together with what i presume will be one of those young turks being shipped) will go a long way toward getting after that issue. Color me surprised! Grier? GTFO! Of all people. Or maybe NO OTHER TEAM had shown any interest in him???? i think the strangely soft buyers' market for UFAs that was discussed some weeks ago is starting to shake out. Side note: props to kamikaze63_99 over at LGS, who posted this last night at 8pm: Add him to your list of people who are "in the know." fascinating.

shrader Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Grier has scored 7,16,9 & 10 goals each season since leaving Buffalo. 4 seasons worth of goals during 3 seasons in San Jose. Impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Huge, huge, huge...if he were here last year, and this was all he did the Sabres would have made the playoffs. This thread is unintentionally hilarious. I also heard in his spare time that Mike Grier is dropped into Afghanistan to take out nests of Taliban -- just by glaring at them.

My boat was already floating at the thought. :oops: This thread is unintentionally hilarious. I also heard in his spare time that Mike Grier is dropped into Afghanistan to take out nests of Taliban -- just by glaring at them. I find it hard to believe that this minor of a roster change has been nearly unanymously lauded by everyone. Grier is okay but sheesh, you'd think the Sabres signed Jerome Iginla.

inkman Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kIMvit36lk Yikes! Afinogenov #1? I'm not sure he even meant to put it into the net. That Sanderson goal was garbage goal time. What about Pominville? Drury? It seemed like it was the list of best stick handling before a goal. Speaking of stick handling, watching Stafford and Connolly just weave in and out of entire teams really makes me yearn for those two to carry more of the load this year.

Grier is okay but sheesh, you'd think the Sabres signed Jerome Iginla. Well, he is a tough veteran leader, and he did play 15 min. per game last year for one of the best teams in the NHL. I'd agree with you if this was the response to the McCormick signing, but this signing will be more effective than that one. Also, if it were Iginla, we'd be at 20 pages on this thread, and SDS' photo would've been much nastier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then after he took all the afghan kiddies to chucky cheese, but not before he taught the middle east peace and to settle differences through fistacuffs. YAY!!!
