ubkev Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 I think I had Stafford instead of Gorges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Good choices. Glad to see Staff wasn't given an A. Hopefully he'll play well w/out the expectation that he be a leader (contract year probably doesn't hurt the cause either). No need w/ the vets that have been brought in to force Myers, Girgs, or the other younger guys into a leadership role. Let them have those when the other guys are too long in the tooth and the young ones are hitting their stride. (Says the guy that is on board w/ the tank. :lol:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsixspd Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Will this help or hurt the Tank? BTW, Happy Eve of a New Hockey Season everyone. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 No issues at all. This is why we signed them. When Gionta moves on, he will pass it to one of the young core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Excellent choices and at least the Sabres will break the streak for trading Captains Mid Season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campy Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 I'm in the "Meh, who cares; you don't need a letter to lead" camp but I do like the choices - even if I'm mildly surprised Moulson got the A over Staff after hearing he and Ted supposedly have a strong relationship.

pi2000 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Grigorenko deserved the C. Seriously tho, good choices. 3 oldest players on the team... seems logical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 I was kinda hoping Myers would've shown enough to have gotten a letter. Or, if not Myers, then Ennis or one of the other holdovers. Giving all 3 of the letters to FNGs kinda makes a statement about the lack of letter-wearing-worthiness in the preexisting roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Very good choices. Also, this is no longer in my signature block, but it remains among my favorite posts on Sabrespace ever: I don't care who the captains are as long as Drew Stafford isn't one of them. In fact I don't think he should be allowed to have an A in his own name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Very good choices. Also, this is no longer in my signature block, but it remains among my favorite posts on Sabrespace ever: We won man. We finally won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Nice choices to be sure. Kinda what everybody thought except perhaps Moulson. Gionta will do as a placeholder until Girgensens assumes the reigns. And I thank God Stafford wasn't selected. Can't have an ocassional floater that takes shifts off serve as an example for all the young players on this team. Anybody else see Stafford blocking shots when down by 10 goals in the 3rd period like Girgs? GO SABRES!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
