... Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 "Don't wish for it, work for it" - Steve Ott still loving this series Me too. Obviously an episode recommended by the PR department...they know the team belongs to Ott and no one will complain (well, most people) about Weber's game right now. So, put the unofficial leaders of the team out there to cull as much goodwill as possible from fans while the organization tries to figure out how to fix things.

dudacek Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 In a season of so many disappointing performances, Mike Weber has been an exception. Don't recall much chatter on the board about it, but he is playing liking a legitimate top four this year and he and Ehrhoff look like a pretty good combo.

Don't recall much chatter on the board about it, but he is playing liking a legitimate top four this year and he and Ehrhoff look like a pretty good combo. Yes he has played really well. I'm hoping he signs a 3/4 year extension at this point, and that means Ott signs a 2/3 year extension next year. These guys are good ones to have on your team. I'm intrigued what has made him play so well this year, i hope it is more than just a contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm intrigued what has made him play so well this year, i hope it is more than just a contract Mike Weber is getting regular minutes. Last year he kept getting bounced in and out of lineup and I don't think that works for him. It throws off his comfort and game sense. Also I think Ott being here has helped to mature him more as well. Mike is a hard worker and we need more hard workers on this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDph1OJqxAA It's obvious that Steve lives in the Avant on Huron at Delaware. At about the :25 sec mark that view is the same as mine when I stayed a the Embassy Suites last. Several Bills players live there too.

McGee is the only Bills player that I know of living in the building, and I guess he's a former Bills player now.

LaLaLaFontaine Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Fantastic episode. I love them more than many condensed games from Buffalo at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two or less Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 While we wait for trades, here's the latest episode. On Ron Rolston: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 HHHHHHMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm.......... Well, I want to like the head coach. And there's nothing offensive about the guy at all. But, if this was intended to make me smitten with him, it didn't work. He's definitely a mono-dimensional kind of guy. If I'm comparing, and I am, Lindy has far more character than Ron and is far more like-able. I guess the from Nolan through the few seasons after the lock-out with Lindy I have become spoiled by coaches that were somewhat larger-than-life to go along with teams that had character. Just another feather in the cap of disappointment overall with this team. This episode really doesn't help me make up my mind on whether I want Rolston coaching the Sabres next year.

Compher, Hurley and Bailey. They all must of shown something otherwise I really feel as if we would have gone a different direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the interview of Mike Weber: We came out of the room and knew he may not make it but he will die trying. This is what i want of a player of my team.

Lanny Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Seems as though they may have had Ristolainen rated ahead of Seth Jones. Edited July 31, 2013 by Lanny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 That was the best beyond blue and gold so far. Highly insightful and extremely interesting... to go from 20 to 16 the Sabres wanted 20 +49 + something else... very interesting. Also they zeroed in on Ristolainen very early and went there to draft him. Fascinating... I may need to watch it several more times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 The Beyond Blue and Gold from the draft is good stuff. It also puts an end to any doubt that Pegula is directly involved in the decision making process when it comes to the franchise's player personnel. http://video.sabres.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=0&id=263379&cmpid=embed-share-video Check 1:36 and 4:10 specifically. I do want to know: From what can be observed at the draft, were there other NHL owners who were similarly engaged/involved in the process of selecting players, making deals?

I do want to know: From what can be observed at the draft, were there other NHL owners who were similarly engaged/involved in the process of selecting players, making deals? Show me where in that Video Terry says we are drafting X. In the first 1:36 mark we see Terry standing in a room watching highlights with the scouting department while they not him but they discuss players. In the second we hear Devine ask if they want to get tougher to play against in direct reference to Zadorov and Terry say I do. The interesting part is actually at the 2min mark where Devine and Regier talk about taking Risto and Pegula who is sitting next to them says nothing and is talking to someone else. There is no evidence Terry directly is involved other than as an owner being interested in his team. If he was like, we should, or we can, or he would, or actually gave his opinion on a player, than I would agree but in this all he does is watch and answer a question. If I was owner I would go to every draft and want to be see how it all came together too but that does not mean that Pegula is saying we should get this or that. Other than answering "do you want to get tougher to play against" he doesn't speak. Your conclusion is conjecture and circumstantial.

Not to mention, as he is footing the bill, i have no problems with him have an input in vague ideas such as "harder to play against" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Prior to the Zadorov pick: Devine: You wanna get tougher to play against Darcy: Yeah I do want to, I do want to Pegula: Yeah I think so Darcy: I want to get tougher to play against Pegula: That's the route. The information I'd like to know is does he ever disagree, and if so does Darcy and Kevin have to do whatever he says. He had a voice with regards to that pick.
