deluca67 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 What is the name of this team? The BUFFALO Sabres. This team represents Buffalo. Sorry to inform you but regardless of the player's origin they play for Buffalo They play for the NHL franchise in Buffalo. There are about a handful of players that represent what this City is about. The rest of the roster has no correlation to the City other than the jersey. 3 months into the first Pegula season and fans are fed up. Oh well, that was a short honeymoon. PTR I predicted it when they kept Ruff and Regier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deluca67 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Which .500, the real .500 or the DeLuca? GO SABRES!!! There is only 1 .500. You play 37 games and only win 17 you can't consider the team .500. Fans that hold on to the 3 loser points as an attempt to make this team's record better than it is are just kidding themselves.

kishoph Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 The Roy and Stafford show, in his last 20 games Roy has 2 goals and is a -8, Stafford in his last 20 games has 2 goals and is -4. If it's any consolation they both have 7 assists. Not only did Roy have the give away that led to the 2nd goal (game winner), but he made no effort to back check coasting back down the ice while the Caps made 4 passes and he still was at the blue line. In his post game presser Roy said "they" have to do better, he should of said I, he was the cause of that goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabres1970 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Disgusting. Truly disgusting. This is not Hockey Heaven, in fact I'd call this Hockey purgatory. One quick question while I'm at it, why the hell is Christian Erhoff fighting more than Kaleta, McCormick and Gaustad combined? I appreciate his effort but we didn't sign him to fight, that's what those guys are supposed to do. So fed up with this crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans that hold on to the 3 loser points as an attempt to make this team's record better than it is are just kidding themselves. Yeah, I'm holding onto 3 points because I need to make this team's record better than it is. That is priceless. Even for you. Back on point, you are wrong now just as you were wrong when you came up with this ridiculous notion in the first place. That is the simple reality of the scoring system in the league. Start a letter writing campaign and get the league to do away with OT losses if it bothers you so much. In the meantime, are you gonna argue against it if the Sabres should miraculously qualify for the playoffs and their OT loss points are the difference? Then again, given your proclivity to find the cloud in every silver lining, you probably would. Hell, you'd want them to engrave an asterisk on the Stanley Cup if they ever won the damn thing as a result of qualifying based on OT loss points. GO SABRES!!!

Cereal Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I didn't see the first period so I have no idea how he got hurt other than someone saying he hadn't been back since he fought. Was it a cheap shot by a Cap? Thanks, chz. GO SABRES!!! Well, here's the fight (where's weave at lately with his Fight Night threads?): Maybe a little elbow by Brouwer to set it off, but I don't see anything about an injury to Ehrhoff there. It seems RJ, HN, and Rayzer are really grasping at straws lately to come up with positive commentary on the Sabres' play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can come up with as many scenarios as you would like to justify the loser points, I really don't care. Sure you don't. The only scenario that matters is that those three points count in the standings. I don't have to justify them. The league already does. Oh, and I doubt anybody is happy with winning 17 of 37 games.

itbeatswalking Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 What the hell was Stafford doing out there in the last minute, that panty waste. Ruff needs to go if he thinks Stafford should have been out there. Ruff needs to go. It's well known now by everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick look at last years standings will show out of the 16 playoff team, all teams were at/over .500. Not loser point .500, actual .500. The year before was 14 of 16. The year before that was 16 of 16. You want to guess what happened the year before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwinkle Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Isn't it about time for Harry Neale to retire? Why? If you're referring to his spoken errors, they're nothing compared to the multitude of mistakes RJ makes every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksndmonster Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Why? If you're referring to his spoken errors, they're nothing compared to the multitude of mistakes RJ makes every game. His average for sentence per error ratio is much worse, though. I really just want to get rid of Roy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwinkle Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Roy's play lately is disturbing. He seems to lack concentration. He's not focused when he has the puck. e.g. in the last game he was stickhandling inside the blue line (unpressured) and allowed the puck to go over the line. His play has markedly slipped from his play of last year. If I were Lindy I'd sit him as soon as Tropp or someone else becomes available to play.

nfreeman Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I believe that's the 7th in 16 games, the effort was better at times tonight, but still the shooting is poor and passing is terrible, Roy is probably the worst of the top 6 at least. I don't know if the lack of not playing together or what, but there's not much cohesion on the lines, I know they were shuffled tonight, but this has been ongoing. There needs to be a major shake-up with this team and I'm all for a move being made behind the bench, but I don't think Pegula will do that. What a disgrace. I'm at the point now where I detest every forward on the team. And I don't want to hear about Vanek's and Pommer's "numbers." Neither they nor any of their fellow forwards are there when they're needed. There is only 1 .500. You play 37 games and only win 17 you can't consider the team .500. Fans that hold on to the 3 loser points as an attempt to make this team's record better than it is are just kidding themselves. Correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverenough Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Another one goal game for the Sabres. Gotta be proud! Yeah for the kid that was (born) (raised) (in Buffalo) :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Well, here's the fight (where's weave at lately with his Fight Night threads?): I'm not staying home to watch these games anymore. Not entertaining me. If someone gives me the green light, I'm on the town on hockey night. I'll post up a fight thread in the AM when I'm sober.

sillyeddie Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 While their value is low right now I feel like we gotta move Roy and/or Stafford before their value gets any worse. It's one thing to say that Stafford is a 30 goal scorer or Roy is a 70 point player in a slump but we're already 37 games in and it's another thing when they get through 50-60 games or a full season like this exposed with their crappy numbers. It's beyond saying they're having a rough start... the season is nearly half over! I'm sick of seeing the non-effort or cute play from both of them. There's always someone out there who thinks their system will bring out the best in that player. I mean Toronto gave Connolly a 2 year deal with an annual salary higher than either of these guys. There's gotta be some interested teams who think once they take the shackles of Lindy's system off of them, they'll produce. I know we can't get a lot for them but honestly we weren't getting Joe Thornton, Getzlaf or Spezza for them even when they were playing better anyway. I'd be happy just to see a hard working 20-goal scorer or a younger guy who gives an honest effort every night. I'm sick of watching some of our "most talented" players getting outworked and outshined by our rookies and 4th liners. We have to do something... people in that finely remodeled locker room are too comfortable with 17 wins and their generous paychecks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I got home from a party(didn't see any of the game to this point), flipped it on, saw the score was 3-1 with 3 minutes to go, and Gaustad and Ellis on the ice. Turned it back off, and went out with some friends. Same story, different day. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChimp Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 This team's awesome, eh? Can't wait to see Tux n Pucks tomorrow night. Nothing worse than a team that generates no excitement playing in front of a crowd notorious for its silence. RJ might very well fall asleep before the third period! WEEEEEEEEEEE!

Who Else? Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Did Roy get hurt or benched? He did not play the lasi 11:26 of the game. I did not see him do anything outside of the ordinary to get yanked. Good thing this team is deep at center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
