Sabres Fan in NS Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Only if I use lube... :( :w00t: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabresFanInRochester Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 These days, I take everything from P Ham with a liberal grain of salt. He's been writing and saying some strange things so everything he says is now questionable. His crusade against Reinhart using faulty stats, all the coach killer stuff around the end of the season, etc. has shot is credibility. That being said, he may be completely right about Kulikov and would explain why he looked so bad this season. I'm not attached to him, although I wouldn't mind seeing him under HCTBD if he wants to be back. :w00t: Except for statistics. And Reinhart. What did I miss? I don't recall his position on Reinhart. I am a fan of Sam and think he was not used effectively. What did Paul say? I don't know what is meant by "statistics." What is Paul doing? And regarding the end of the season crusade against the coach... if someone with inside information didn't spill that, there's a chance we'd still be listening to Dan's drivel at a season-ending press conference. I appreciate the fact that someone shares insight as to what the players really think and say. Where else would you get that from? In all my years of watching sports, I have learned that football players cannot express areas of improvement until they look at the game tape. And hockey players need to play a full 60 minutes. I don't want to hear that crap and predictable cliches. Tell it like it is, Paul! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 SFIR, I'm not sure why you are quoting my laughing hysterically post at Inky's awesome lube joke, but it's OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthEbriate Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 And not a single thread on Propin. We are biased. (Dad jokes! Yay!) We need to find the right d-man to pair with him... but not someone cut from the same cloth. You just know Taylor Fedun and he wouldn't be a good pair.

dudacek Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 One think you have like about reading his stat line is that he has produced at a higher rate in the playoffs than in the regular season. And he's played a ton of playoff games: 79 in just five seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrico Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Man. He is sorta small. It's the modern game, though. Our current d are huge....and terrible. I'm a more than excited to get a puck mover.

dudacek Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) I think in Murray's office, the D depth chart last year was supposed to look like this: Risto Kulikov Bogosian McCabe Franson Gorges Falk/Fedun Instead, we got: Risto McCabe Franson Bogosian Gorges Falk Kulikov/Fedun And every one of those guys except Falk underperformed for where he was slotted. I'd like to see in the fall: Risto Acquisition who can play the role Kulikov was supposed to McCabe Bogosian Antipin Steady cheap free agent vet Falk/Guhle Basically, 2-6 are all question marks, but really can they be worse than what they are replacing?

Two or less Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Our current d are huge....and terrible. I'm a more than excited to get a puck mover. Could he make our league best pp even better? Probably not, but maybe he can improve one of the leagues worst EV scoring teams. Besides better defense, thats another area they need to improve in is scoring 5v5.

LGR4GM Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) Paul the Hamburgular Hamilton interviewed Anitpin the other day. http://www.wgr550.com/articles/news/antipin-settling-sabres New Buffalo Sabres defenseman Victor Antipin left Russia about two weeks ago to come to Buffalo and start to get used to his new team and new city. Antipin said he likes it around Western New York because it reminds him of home, “I like Buffalo, it’s a small city, a comfortable city for me.” about 2 weeks ago, matches pretty closely with the August 12th sighting of V Antipin. I am betting that was him. Edited August 25, 2017 by LGR4GM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
