Who Else? Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 addition by subtraction You all are crazy. I don't like Roy either. It was apparent tonight that this team does not have one playmaking forward. The only player other than Roy that looks comfortable skating the puck across the blueline away from the boards is Myers. Did you see the zone time Carolina had against the Gerbe-Boyes-Stafford line? It was because no of them have a clue on how to play defensive center. For those of you who want Roy traded; well that hope just got suspended for "some-time" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerme1 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 For those of you who want Roy traded; well that hope just got suspended for "some-time" Alas, just like last year. I was hoping we could trade him so we could get better. Then he got hurt and we got better. This year I find myself in the same predicament. This time though I think he heard the trade winds blowing and is trying to remove himself from those winds by claiming upper body injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regier has no intention of trading anyone soon anyway, in todays article he stated that there is no major shake up coming, nothing on the board at the moment. So we have to live with it as is for the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvelo Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 the reason the Sabres are in this position is because of weak players, stupid management, inexperienced ownership. Do you think anything will really change no matter what we do? checkmate with the inexperienced ownership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy skates the puck up to turn it over as soon as he crosses the blueline. That is not play making. At least Myers can protect the puck when he does it.

Tyrannustyrannus Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 That is only if Stafford gets hurt. Stafford will be better without Roy. He had his first hat trick 2 games after Roy went down last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobody Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 This season will be remembered for injuries and for Darcy Regier's complete failure to do a damned thing. But you have to wait until the trade deadline to see what trade value is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiftyone Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Interesting stat. In Sabres wins, Roy has 19 points in those 18 games. In the Sabres 22 losses, Roy has 5 points. This seems to go against the whole thing about the Sabres being better without Roy and it not being a coincidence. The numbers seem to say, for this year at last, that the Sabres go when Roy goes, or more clearly that they don't go when Roy doesn't. The numbers don't say the same thing in for Vanek and Pominville, however. Vanek has 24 points in the wins and 16 in the losses, while Pommer has 24 and 18. Not exactly sure what to make of this, but it certainly is interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 All of that says that Vanek and Pomminstein are scoring consistently while Roy isn't. They win when Roy scores because those numbers are then added to the points Vanek and Pomminstein have already scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiftyone Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Or you could say that Van and Pom's points are added to what Roy has scored? They are scoring almost at the same rate in games that the Sabres eventually win, just not even close in the losses. I'm not that focused on the points scored in wins, because it makes sense that you win games when your best players score. But the discrepancy in losses just seems odd.

Weave Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 So do you think it's a coincidence that the numbers are so lopsided for Roy? No. I think that we only win when we have secondary scoring. Roy represents that secondary scoring. And he's not doing enough of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's not doing enough of it. I agree he's not doing enough of it. I just can't figure out why there is such a correlation between Roy not scoring and the Sabres losing, compared to the other guys on this team.

shrader Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Because out of all the secondary scoring, he has the most points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
