X. Benedict Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 "Haven't been bad" sounds like settling. I want to see this team make some moves to help in a deep playoff run. I can live with Lydman and Rivet at the 5-6 spots at 12-14 minutes in the playoffs as long as Regier gets a solid #4 to play with Butler. the only Solid #4's I see coming on the market are Kaberle and Whitney.

Two or less Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Butler's biggest problem: No mean streak and lacks desire to win battles for the puck. You hit the jackpot. There was one play last season where Miller got ran over and he looked like a deer in headlights. He did go and hit the player after thinking about it. Anyone remember that? This past off-season, i had hoped he would get stronger and become more of a physical presence. He hasn't. And back in the day, every time Alexei Zhitnik shot the puck from the point you knew it was going wide, now with Butler, every time he shoots it's blocked. So frustrating to watch.

Sabretip Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 the only Solid #4's I see coming on the market are Kaberle and Whitney. Ryan Whitney from Anaheim? I seriously doubt he will be dealt by the Ducks. And if you mean Ray Whitney from the Hurricanes, you must know he's a forward, not a defenseman.

tom webster Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Is this the Next Bill Hajt getting Piñata-ed around pretty good? Another one of those moments (probably not as rare as some would think) were we think alike. I mentioned this exact thing to a friend. Bill Hajt, Richard Smelnik, Chris Butler....

R_Dudley Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 The one Dudley gives out to his favorite Sabre? I only have those :wub: for you . Another one of those moments (probably not as rare as some would think) were we think alike. I mentioned this exact thing to a friend. Bill Hajt, Richard Smelnik, Chris Butler.... Nice Wow analogy, 3 different generations of somewhat the same player. We used to affectionately refer to Bill as "Rubber stick Hajt" ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned this exact thing to a friend. Bill Hajt, Richard Smelnik, Chris Butler.... Like I said earlier, my biggest problem with Butler isn't the fact that he is soft, it is his play in general. Being soft is just the icing on the cake. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_Dudley Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hey a lot of people know that Schoeny put out an album way back when, but did you know Duds did too? Why yes Sir I did. He did it when he was playing for the Cincinnatti Stingers of the WHL. I think hockey needed to stay the day job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Dog Music published this masterpiece album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can live with Lydman and Rivet at the 5-6 spots at 12-14 minutes in the playoffs as long as Regier gets a solid #4 to play with Butler. Leaving a wish list out of it -- if the Sabres only acquire 1 guy, would you rather get a forward or a defenseman? And which one (if any) do you think will happen? Not trying to be argumentative -- I'm just curious as to where you see the greater need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mind goes off and works funny in my 40's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
