wonderbread Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Max's jersey is on clearance. 69 bucks. They should pay me 69 bucks to wear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabresBillsFan Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Until I see him skate a shift without ended up on his stubby arse, I can not and will not lay off this midget. The guy can play at this level. His skating and speed will keep him in the NHL. Plus at least the guy throws his weight around. The guy has heart which is more than I can say for some of the bigger players on this team. I like him and he's a good little player. He's not Marty St. Louis type talent but can skate just as well. Give the guy some time to adjust for christ sake's. Most guys need a couple of seasons before they start improving. Be patient and stop riding the guy.

shrader Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 If he's not Marty St. Louis talent, then what is the point? Smaller and less skill. Don't you see how awesome that is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be patient and stop riding the guy. Great optimism, but how can you possibly know this? He was completely ineffective for the Sabres last year. I'm willing to give it some time before coming to a conclusion on him, and I'm pulling for him, but there hasn't been anything -- not even in preseason -- to suggest he'll make it at this level.

henysgol Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I completely agree, he looked completely lost at times. Overall he did nothing that stood out except make mistakes. Music to my ears. My gut feeling has been telling me for awhile that Myers isn't mentally ready. Every time I've seen Weber play, he really didn't make many mistakes. And he's tough and takes no crap from anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreFan78 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 and... Max's jersey is on clearance. 69 bucks. They have an entire rack of them...some Spacek and Numminen's available too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henysgol Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 So...you're not going to watch the games, but you're still going to post political & religious stuff? No thanks. Thanks for the report. I like what I've heard about Ennis so far. The Sabres need another dynamic forward. Good call. I would prefer (and I think the Sabres would prefer) that Weber be the guy who steps up this year and Myers gets another year of seasoning. I'd be very happy with a top 6 of: Rivet-Lydman Butler-Montador Sekera-Weber That's exactly the lineup I'm hoping for. Butler also plays well with Rivet. I think Butler has learned a lot already from playing with Rivet. I was impressed with him last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreFan78 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 speaking of max, if memory serves me correctly, didn't he wear #69 when he first broke in w/ the Sabres?? I think I was at a game back in the day when he wore it. Confirmation anyone?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed! I hope he can make it, but he could just as easily end up being one of those players who is very good at the AHL level, but just can't make that jump to the NHL.

henysgol Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 J.P. and Thorburn almost got into it last night, but they separated themselves. I was hoping they'd throw down, that would've been interesting. Preds shut Atlanta out 5-0. Fun. I got on the jumbotron with my red Sabres jersey on, and the crowd cheered as I was gesturing the number 10 with my hands screaming "We're coming, October 10th!". My buddy who was sitting next to me stood up and showed his Red Wings jersey and the cheers immediately turned to boo's. It was hilarious. :thumbsup: Serious hockey talk indeed.

henysgol Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 And from what I've seen, Wilson put up a good first showing. :thumbsup: Yea. He scored one and set up two. Sullivan, Arnott and Dumont all scored. That is a stellar line right there, let me tell you. Ellis shut them out for one half of the game, and they switched to Dekanich midway through the second. He's pretty good. Shea Weber played, and of course he scored too. It was a fun game. The Nashville crowd is a riot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey I have an idea do you think you can adjust quickly to the skill level at the NHL. Some players take a full season or two before they start producing. Ex. Pierre Turgeon, Brendan Shannon, and tons more. If you think alot of players are going to step in and be able to fill a spot full time without time to adjust thats just thinking crazy. Give the guy some time. Each level the speed and skill goes up I don't think a handfull of games you can judge someone that quickly. The point that I'm trying to make is at least the guy has heart, desire and he hustle's using his speed and throw the body around even though that's not his game that's more than I can say for some of the bigger guys on the current roster. Wow I'm glad you guys aren't a GM or coach alot of players in the NHL would be doomed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
