WildComrade is cracking me up today.

:P :)

lol -- still have Larsson on the 4th line? ;)

Makes sense, but... This?

Why bother calling up Grigorenko to sit him?

Wouldn't have pegged you for a Metallica fan. ;)

Nice avatar update, LTS. :thumbsup:

I don't know why, but my brain wants Hodgson's to be a duck crossing.

Unless he plays Johnson or Hackett, but yeah. I know, but it still sounds bad (especially in light of Neuvirth being traded, as WildComrade pointed out).

Did anyone else catch this yesterday? Ouch. http://www.wgr550.com/The-final-steps-of-suffering-are-taken/21050415

Fair enough; another Rolston-type plug-in certainly wouldn't inspire the same confidence.

I think this is a big part of my disappointment this season... I expected to see the transitional players and inexperienced youth growing into the beginnings of a new team, but with the exception of that anomolous stretch in Nov. and Ennis, Girgensons, and Risto, the team took a major step back. I agree with you on the need for a new coach, too.

Agreed. This team has been gutted beyond recognition, and has no identity with many roster holes to be filled. I have a hard time picturing us being significantly better next year, regardless of how the offseason plays out.

:w00t:

In retrospect that reference is probably in poor taste, but here's the background: http://www.refinery29.com/2014/09/74527/rihanna-song-cut-cbs-nfl-domestic-violence

Good stuff, NP. It's been hard to watch the team's futility the last few seasons, but even harder to watch them be torn down and to see what it's done to all of us as fans. The Sabres are Chris Brown, and we are Rihanna. I sincerely hope that analogy is no longer apt next season.

Leggio might actually be better than Smith... he's just terrible this year.

True.

;)

Maybe, but goaltenders are slow to develop so it's not a good short-term plan.

Yeah, that's messed up. Probably hurts their chances at re-signing this July. :(

Exactly. I sure hope so... I'd really like to see him come back.

Awww, man. Well, should make it easier to get Hackett his required ice time now. Edit: nobody is faster than me, lol.

:lol:
