If this team can't handle a grumpy goalie, they chose the wrong sport. Most goalies are characters, some of them ouright whackos. If Miller's attitude is a problem, then clearly Miller's attitude isn't the problem.

This didn't happen for the first 2 or 3 games after Ruff was let go, or at least that's how I saw it. However, it is absoutely MADDENING to watch, and in recent games it has happened as much as ever. Also, I know of NO other team who let pucks squeeze through them on the boards as much as the Sabres do, while they always seem to lose the battle when trying to clear a puck through an opposing player hugging the boards. Never fails.

I guess it's time someone from the Caps snaps a 121-game scoreless streak.

Why would I hate you for making sense? It's quite obvious this is a team that isn't very good, so if you're not 2-3 players away from being a playoff team, why not dump some veterans and dead wood? Regier needs to be dumped first though. He obviously hasn't a clue on how to put together a hockey team, so no need letting him crap the bed again.

That's not on the refs, and it's not a horseshit call, it's a dumb###### stupid-ass turnover by Erhoff.

God awful game, which they had no business taking to OT anyway.

Erhoff, for ###### sake...............

Maxim Ennisegenov............

And he knows when to hold on to the puck. Did you see his play on Foligno's second goal? He was waiting, waiting, waiting for Sekera to come into the zone, then made a perfect cross-ice pass. Anyone else, besides Hodgson perhaps, would've thrown that puck into the slot right away.

If you're ever going to trade Vanek, now's the time. Wouldn't be too happy to see him go, since he finally appears to have come into his own as a true goalscorer, but his supporting cast is horrible, with one or two exceptions. They really do need to clean house in a big way, starting with Darcy getting the boot, and Miller and Vanek might fetch a couple of good players in return.

Everyone knows there's no such thing as a "really good American Idol show" :flirt: A really bad Sabres game, on the other hand......

Me. I feel bad I have to watch a bunch of so-called professionals be so very bad at what they are paid millions to do.

Oh darn, and here I was hoping he'd end up retiring and rid of us that nice albatros contract Regier gave him :wallbash:

Yeah, didn't watch either, so I can't really comment.

No argument there. Regier is turning into the master of piss-poor contracts.

For once, don't let Staal do as he pleases.... Please.

Pooch got his eye on that slice :w00t:

That said, I think he responded well.

I really have to say, I like the hustle I've seen more and more lately. Also, their breakouts have become much better, a lot of 3-4 foot passes in their own zone, instead of passing to a guy standing still on the boards, or one guy trying to skate the puck out himself, from below the circles. Players fighting for every loose puck, Myers going down to save a sure goal with the puck caught in his skates in the 2nd - Two weeks ago, that's a sure goal off one of countless defensive goofs.

Here's what I think Darcy has done well, and it can be boiled down to a few simple trades. simply because he's lousy in managing the roster he has. He overpays for favorites, hangs on to them for way too long until they either walk for nothing, or their value has hit rock bottom. Barnaby for Barnes = Good deal, Barnes could still play the game, and clearly Barnaby didn't want to be here anymore. Wilson and a pick for Warrener = Absolute steal, Wilson was a bust if ever ther was one, and Warrener was in his prime. Gratton for Briere = Good deal, but overshadowed by the fact that Gratton was brought in for three players, including Corey Sarich. Still a steal though, as Gratton was a huge bust. Warrener and Reinprecht for Drury and Begin = Well, let's just call it Warrener for Drury. Good deal, was sad to see Warrener go, but Drury turned out to be something this team sorely needed after Peca left. Drafted guys like Pominville, Vanek, Myers etc., but overpaying for each and everyone takes away from the positives. That's about all I feel he's done well over the years, and for everyone of those deals, there's a bad deal and an overpaid stiff.

Same here. I suppose we should be happy he seems to care now, but I rather just feel angered he didn't care earlier. Stafford's been on my "dump 'em" list for years, as a close runner-up to Derek Roy.

At this point, I'd settle for Miro Satan.....!! :wallbash:

This. I *think* I've saw a little more effort the past two games, at least there was some effort till the 2-0 goal last night, which seemed to make everyone quit. Either that, or I'm just imagining it. But by god, this team is horrible on offense, and althought the D seems a little tighter, they're still suspect at best.

As do we.

We should be so lucky.
