LabattBlue Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 I've been out at bars for a few games over the last couple of weeks and have noticed people cheering when the Sabres score and just a higher interest in general. I'm not sure what the ticket status is for the remaining games, but I have to believe the Sabres are looking at close to sellouts for all of them.

meet_me_at_the_zoo Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 and for good reason. This is a good scoring team. They are second in the league in scoring. Too bad Darcy didn't go out and get a veteran netminder for the playoffs. I suppose that won't matter in the first round but after that watch for it to be a problem. I know a few people in the organization and they have expressed similiar doubts about Miller and Biron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knightrider Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Have you played hockey? I have. I had a real good chance of turning pro before I blew my knee out. I know what I'm talking about. I just wonder if you do Nope, not organized hockey. My first love was football. I probably don't know what I'm talking about, but that doesn't mean you do. Claiming they were second in the league in scoring suggests you don't. Who would you have traded and who would you have traded for? You have previously stated Cujo, who only has more experience compared to Miller and Biron in playoff meltdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CuJo has had some great playoff runs. Not really sure if he has enough left to get the job done, he is getting close to 40 years old. <Still 10 years younger then Belfour.

Not really sure if he has enough left to get the job done, he is getting close to 40 years old. <Still 10 years younger then Belfour. When? In 15 seasons, he's made it past the 2nd round twice. He only won 1 game the 1st time he was in round 3 (and that came against the other team's backup) and 2 games the next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 This guys seems to be the real deal guys The Bills board has linked to this post cause it seems they also have a guy who knows the same amount of football as this guy knows hockey, and he also blew out his knee before he was going to make the pro's.

ThePhantomListWriter Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Not to stick up for the resident troll -- he's a pod for sure -- but he's not making a point that everyone here isn't going to make if the Sabres' playoff inexperience in goal rears its ugly head in the postseason.

Alaska Darin Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 If I had a nickle for every guy who "had a good chance of going pro except I got injured." It get's more lame every time I read or hear it. I almost banged Kim Basinger except I didn't. I don't care if you PLAYED 15 years at the NHL level, it doesn't amount to a hill of beans where talent assessment is concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Sanderson Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 If your expectation is winning the Stanley Cup THIS year, goaltending inexperience may be an issue. But it's an issue I'm fine with...who wants Cujo here over Miller OR Biron? Certainly not me at this point. After all, JS Giguere and Mika Kiprusoff didn't exactly have a Marty Brodeur-like playoff history before they were probably the best 2 players in the last two NHL playoffs. If your expectation is winning a series or probably 2, I don't think goaltending is a big issue at all...and I never thought I'd say this, but Buffalo is so much more talented than the teams they'll likely face in the first or second rounds that they SHOULD be able to win without Miller at the top of his game. This guy can talk about the Sabres playoff inexperience in goal all he wants, but Nittymaki, Lundqvist, Gerber, Grahame, Huet....how many of these guys have led Stanley Cup runs themselves? I'm not sure if any of them have even played in a playoff game. Brodeur and Hasek vs. Miller or even Biron may be a concern, but if you look at the standings, the Sabres are extremely unlikely to play NJ in the first round, and if Ottawa beats Buffalo it's because they're the one team in the Conference or league that is clearly more talented than the Sabres...

hopeleslyobvious Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Well, just to add to what everyone else has already said. How is Miller going to get some playoff experience unless he actually plays in the playoffs. I think back to the preseason when players were badmouthing the organization. I could think of a way to live up to it. Have a great goalie tandem that brings you a lot of success in the regular season, and then bring in a has been at the trading deadline because he has more playoff experience.

If you're talking about winning the Cup now, those two goalies really aren't the best example since neither won. Our "I could've been a pro" friend may take issue with that and who are we to argue since he knows more about the game than us. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
