Eric Lindros is a prime example of just that. Keith Primeau too.

We had an all-world goaltender back then.

That's a good move. He simply NEEDS to get some chemistry going on at least ONE line. I mean, how else will he know which line to split up again? :wallbash:

This alone, is one of the reasons I question the current coaches sanity.

I can't stand Stafford as much as the next guy, but I'm starting to grow utterly indifferent to anything that happens with this team. I've watched less than 10 games this season. I have no desire whatever to watch more.

I'll buy the argument that there's no foward on the Sabres roster who would make you, I or anyone other than Darcy say "Well, we already have ***, so we don't have room for Kane". Don't be so sure about Darcy though - I'm sure he views Stafford or Ennis as the equivalent of Kane.

Hilarious Eddie Izard skecth.

Thank you.

Funny you should mention it, cause that's exactly how I feel right now. Lindy's 5 guys down low, running around like we're on the PK, and a lot of perimiter play when we finally DO get a cycle going on offense. The only time I actually feel the Sabres carry the play is on the rush. I'll take the hardest working team in hockey as opposed to this, any day. Only goes to show how stale things have become.

Agreed, that's a BS hit, and he should indeed be suspended for it.

You can make roster changes...??! Sarcasm aside, the simple way of waking up Tommy G - Sit on your wallet, and stop pouring money into this travesty. Anyone who bought a jersey this year is helping keeping the shipwreck afloat. Let it sink already and be done with it.

Wouldn't matter if they were in net against the Sabres though, as this club makes any backup look like a superstar. Goaltending though, is the least of this team's problems. And that says a lot about this team's problems!

Which means we can point the finger right back to Darcy, seeing as he's the one signing average players to ridiculous contracts. Vanek, Connolly, Hecht, Gaustad, Pominville.... Man, it hurts my eyes just to think of how much those guys cost :wallbash:

This team should learn to score more than one though, even if Lalime sucks. Not many games are won 1-0 in this league.

Fixed it for you :thumbsup:

His point still stands though - A 5.3 mill. player needs to be able to a do a heckuva lot more than kill penalties. Much like a 3.2 mill. guys needs to be able to a lot more than win faceoffs.... *cough*... Goose... *cough*

You called it.

I'll join you in Fantasia for a second - Vanek scores a hattrick. And then back to reality - And he'll then dissappear for the next 12 games.

No, all I said was that unless one of several things happened, I wouldn't be watching for certain. Scratching Rivet was on that list. Still doesn't mean I have to watch, even though Cpt. Cement Skates was scratched, thank god.

Good one. I'm kinda partial to "second game of a back-to-back, some guys out there with no legs".

Wouldn't have helped us one last bit, as Regier would be in charge of using those picks :wallbash:

Why? Someone told him his salary was based on production or something? If that were the case, I'd be crying too if I were him.

Join the club. The stinker on home ice against the Rags this year pushed me over the edge. Once they failed to show up for game 2 of the season, I knew it would be a long year :bag: At this point, I think it would take Darcy getting the boot in order for me to watch another game, I simply cannot bring myself to spend time and money on a franchise where he's in charge.

That would be great, if he was being paid half his current salary. Considering his contract, I expect a damn sight more from him. And I don't think he plays "tough", he just plays marignally tougher than the rest of this sackless roster. If anyone wants him at his current contract, I'll freakin' drive him to the airport. Hell, I'll drive him to his new city.

I see a lot of posters saying this team has quit on Ruff, but to me it's come becoming apparent that Ruff's probably quit on Regier as well. Who knows, maybe Regier quit on Quinn years ago, hence the lack of moves to improve the team, and moronic contracts to average players? At any rate, I think the identity that this team is so desperately searching for is already firmly in place - Quitters. Top to bottom.
