Man oh man, the Hawks can play.

Game, set and match.

Gotta be right some time, I guess :flirt: Betting the Blues expected more from Miller.

All kinds of hanging heads on the Blues right now, don't be surprised if it's 3-1 in the next minute or two.

Being reasonably slow and reasonably easy to muscle off the puck is bad combination, and we've had way too many guys who fit that bill the past 10 years. Clearly, Miller is the problem.

They sure make tanking look like a great idea, that's for sure. However, I have a nasty feeling the Sabres are going to make the idea of tanking look somewhat different, but that's what the Regier years have done to me - Made me the eternal pessimist.

Would work for me. I like Nolan, but ultimately I like the Sabres more, so if it means better results, sure bring in another coach. And like you said, barring any stupid incidents, he could easily have salvaged his NHL career through his return to the Sabres. I see very little downside for anyone here, even though we're talking pure speculation.

Just dawned on me just how much I miss winning a playoff series ..... :sick:

What was terrible was Polak's half-assed change on the play, guy took forever to get to the bench, leaving Toews a clear path to the net. Give Toews a breakaway in OT, and you're usually in trouble. It's just that we as Sabres fans are used to seeing guys miss on breakaways all the time, other teams can actually score on them. That said, you want to win Stanley Cups, you need to stop pucks.

Well, he singlehandedly pissed away game 4, that much is for sure. And did I read this right? 9 playoff games straight now where Crosby hasn't scored?

Just saw the Columbus gamewinner - WOW, are you serious Fleury??! Flashes of Kasparaitis.

Nice look-away from Kane on that, Miller expecting the pass, and the St. Louis defenseman not knowing what to expect, ending up playing neither pass or shot. Like Dark said, horrible defense.

Poetic justice? Thank the lord for small mercies? Just trying to find a wording that describes something as ironic as this, and there's definitely some truth to it.

No, he should've been out of the league way before, that's what's wrong with it.

That fact that he hasn't been suspended in 3 years pretty much tells you something's completely wrong.

Seriously, why is he even allowed in the league anymore? Pat Kaleta was pretty much thrown out, yet scumbag Matt Cooke continues to cheapshot people, get suspended, yet be allowed to return to cheapshot even more people. ENOUGH! He shouldn't be allowed to play in the NHL again. Ever. Of course, getting rid of him would mean half Boston's roster would soon have to follow. Can't have that.

On the contrary, I'd prefer him to wear it.

This.

Patrik Stefan was someone I'd cry myself to sleep over wasting a no. 1 pick on, but "can't miss"? Maybe not.

I'd say two slots, if not three, too high. "One line or pairing too high" was a trait that plagued Darcy's teams for years, both before and after the "no-touch" years. It became even worse when Regier, in his infinite idiocy, publically declared "tank on".

Which is how you build a team in the first place. Darcy had NO clue how to properly build a team

In our case, it's just as much a case of the big club not being good enough for whoever we draft. Putting a youngster on the current roster is a surefire way to ruin a career, you ask me.

Good for Lindy, but I still wanted him gone, as things needed to change around here, and he was a part of it. And I'll never root for the Stars, that's like rooting for the Flyers or Boston.

Amen. And part of me thinks he played like ass on purpose this year, solely to get bought out over the summer, so he can ###### off to another team. Truly an ass.

This guy goes down in Sabres history as the biggest bust ever, and should stand as a monument over Darcy's tenure here.
