Doohickie Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 According to Mike Weber. I expect training camp to be what training camp should be for a 30th place team, it should be hard, it should be intense and Teddy is making sure every guy knows that. We’re not joking around anymore, there has to be a new standard. That word has been thrown around for a couple of years, but enough is enough, the joke’s over. I like hearing that out of him. He is a tough guy. I hope he has a good camp and a good year next year. How 'bout making this thread about the positive changes as expressed by the players?

The joke will really be over when he's no longer a player who's regularly in the lineup. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 That is a loser's comment if I ever heard one. Oh, NOW you're gonna get serious? Really? Ooooh, watch out Mike Weber is gonna get serious about being a hockey player now. Laughable. I doubt Weber even makes the squad. GO SABRES!!!

bunomatic Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 The joke may be over but for many the Sabres are the laughingstock of the league. A sad sack organization that just can't seem to get it right even when they do get it right ( see PF ). This is one year nobody will forget for all the wrong reasons.

darksabre Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Sounds to me like Mike's firing some shots at the old regime. I have no problem with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooooh, watch out Mike Weber is gonna get serious about being a hockey player now. Laughable. I doubt Weber even makes the squad. GO SABRES!!! I don't doubt his dedication or his efforts, both on and off the rink. I also don't doubt his sincerity. He knows he's a 5-7 guy. Talent aside, It burns more for a guy busting his ass for his 14 min when the guy mailing it in is getting 22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I just think it's a stupid comment in every way possible. He complains about the lack of success on a team when he's one of the main contributors to their failures. No matter how large the soft spot many on this board have for a guy like him who works hard... he had the 5th worst plus/minus in the NHL. He's risking insulting the way things are done on a team that could easily move him without second guessing themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 The irony of Weber being part of the problem aside, I want every player to feel the way he does. Every single one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 The joke will be over when the team president stops saying things like, "We could try and get into the playoffs next year, but we're not going to." I think it would be almost impossible to play for a team like that. The NHL is right to make rules that discourage the Tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talent aside, It burns more for a guy busting his ass for his 14 min when the guy mailing it in is getting 22. A pointed shot at Ehrhoff? I just think it's a stupid comment in every way possible. He complains about the lack of success on a team when he's one of the main contributors to their failures. No matter how large the soft spot many on this board have for a guy like him who works hard... he had the 5th worst plus/minus in the NHL. He's risking insulting the way things are done on a team that could easily move him without second guessing themselves. Whether he is good enough to be part of the solution is an open question. But Mike's was an honest comment and I'm glad to hear it. No one should tolerate a season like the joke we just saw. You can be damned sure Tim Murray and Ted Nolan agree with him. It's going to be an interesting off-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem you and every other MW hater is you blame him for being him. He didn't give himself top 4 minutes. He's a fringe NHL defenseman. You keep banging on him like he's supposed to be Shea Weber. Mikes not that good but we are criticizing a guy put into a role he couldn't possibly succeed at?

Never even kind of insinuated anything like this, but, hell, it's fun to just say stuff... Fact is he failed miserably in the role he was given.

Fact is he failed miserably in the role he was given. So the only thing you got out of what I posted is that I said you compared him to Shea weber? Which we both know you didn't but in some sort of demeaning Dstebb style you need to point it out? All you had to do was type that last sentence but that just wouldn't be you now would it.

JJFIVEOH Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 It was locker cleanout day, the day following the last game for the worst team in the league.

I think it would be almost impossible to play for a team like that. The NHL is right to make rules that discourage the Tank. I read that as even if they did try they won't make it in anyway. Which is absolutely true. Nothing can be done to make the Sabres a playoff team next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
