Derrico Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Since we don't know how long miller will take to get over this minor injury and our demanding sked comming up, we just may see dennis which is fine with me. Just a quick personal note, I live in a small city outside Toronto called Guelph where Dennis played his junior hockey with the Guelph Storm of the OHL. I went to a couple of games during my freshman year of University here, and this kid is unbelievable. Since we've got strong goaltending in miller and biron, I haven't read much about this kid, but trust me, he'll be good. I remember watching a game against kitchener where we were so outplayed that it was sickening. The final shots were something like 47-13 but we won the game 2-1 because he absolutely stood on his head during the game. I mean, I remember seeing him play and thought wow, I hope the sabres can draft this guy, and sure enough they did! I'm just saying that give this kid a few years and he's going to be a dominate starter in this league. Let's Go Sabres!! I defiently can't get the Rochester games up here except for when they play toronto but he must be a key factor in the Americans success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetweenThePipes00 Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I'm sure he will be fine ... my biggest concern is what number he will wear since he wears 29 in Rochester and Pommer has that. In other words, just let Marty play. And if the kid does see action and struggles, it doesn't mean he won't be fine in a year or two. His readiness at this point is not going to make or break the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickshaw Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Dennis will not get a sniff unless Biron goes down to injury as well. Marty will carry the load as long as Miller is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Dennis will not get a sniff unless Biron goes down to injury as well. Marty will carry the load as long as Miller is out. I wouldn't say he won't get to play but its not likely. They could put him in tomorrow night against the Flyers, he's probably faced tougher competition in Rochestor then the Flyers If you do see Dennis get a start, I would take it as a sign that Biron is on his way out and Buffalo wants to see what they have before finalizing a deal. I don't think Dennis is quite ready for the NHL, but who knows, maybe he is for the backup role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two or less Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Maybe they will play Dennis tomorrow night and see what he can do being thrown into the fire? If Sabres are seriously in all of these talks about dealing Biron then you gotta believe it's gonna happen sooner then later, and we realisticly have no backup or have any idea of how Dennis would do... so IMO i think Dennis should play saturday night then when Miller returns make Cunnyworth make Dennis the #1 guy in Rochester.... Unless Regier has other ideas about a backup goalie once Biron is traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Miller has a recurring groin problem (not sure how else to interpret the word "flareup") and people are still talking about trading Biron? It would be a monumentally stupid move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a monumentally stupid move. Yeah, but didn't we not win the cup last year due to injuries on defense? We have less depth this year then we did last year. At forward i think we're ok, Stafford, Paille, MacArthur all can play IMO... but, on defense, Peastch is all we got. Who would replace another injury? Tallinder is out now... what happens if someone else gets hurt? Mike Card and Mike Funk? There's nobody else. I hope people realize that. We don't have a Doug Janik anymore, or a Rory Fitzpatrick. I think our kids at forward would do a good job at replacing but their still not up to the level of Pyatt and Novotny were last year. All i am saying is, we might take a few hits during the regular season with Dennis or someone else being backup but when it counts most, in the playoffs, we will have more help on the ice (like a doan or nagy lets say) and much more depth and better places to replace guys, esspicially on the blue line. What good does Biron do for us in the playoffs? I ask this seriously. You can tell me he can lead us into the finals? He didn't play a minute last year and if we win the cup this year he won't play a minute either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Cool--any chance he makes it to the pros? By pro's, do you mean arena football? :rolleyes: Just kidding, sort of. Of course, being a big brother I've always thought he is better than he probably is but he has all the measureables. 6' 3" 255 lbs 4.7 40 time (at the very most) 400 lbs bench press Unfortunately, he plays at a DIII school and probably won't get a sniff. He may get some calls from Arena leagues but he's pretty pumped about being a teacher and givin his learning disabilty, I would consider that a life success.

ThePolishSabre Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Play Dennis tomorrow! Nothing against Biron, but if the Sabres are serious about trading Biron sometimes soon we might as well see what Dennis has. Besides, it's just Philly.

Claude Balls Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 As a first year pro, Dennis has been a stud for the Merks. He has had one bad game and that's been it. He had 53 or 54 saves in either his 2nd or 3rd start this year, only allowing 2 IIRC. I thought Miller's injury was his lower back and not the groin.
