  1. I'm not liking any of this.
  2. I agree. That is all.
  3. If Legwand did something deserving of a 'talking to' by the refs at the bench, why in the hell wasn't he penalized?
  4. You'd think being 54 games into the season that WGR would have all the bugs worked out by now.
  5. Damn, 3rd period and Neuvirth isn't injured yet?
  6. Specifically? Because he also said that he wasn't interested in dealing Myers.
  7. He probably does want out. Some of us can hope that he really does want to stay here and he's playing out of his mind for a contract...... because he really hasn't been on a team that can give him the type of year deserving of a great contract.
  8. Me too. Unless Stewart has told Murray he absolutely will not return next year (I would hope at this point Murray has talked to the pending UFA's about their intentions), I don't think the Sabres have much to gain by trading him at the deadline.
  9. Stewie's got 13 points in 19 games. On this team, that's unheard of.
  10. Lindy's going to yell at Myers in between periods and destroy his confidence for the rest of the year.
  11. Might have something to do with not being chased. :P
  12. Must have ties with the Bruins.
  13. I don't like all this Myers talk. Enough of the deals! We've got 284 draft picks over four years and we need a core. I don't care who is coming back in the deal. I hope this is all just media fluff. Regarding Kane, no way in hell I give up Ennis. While I wouldn't be opposed to bringing him in to see if a change of scenery would do him good, I would be very hesitant to give up anything of value for him. At the very most, one of our last 1st round picks. AT MOST. He is a known locker room cancer, it's the last thing this team needs when grooming young players for the future.
  14. The calm before the storm.........
  15. So which one is the fluke, the streak where he carried the team to 10 wins in 13 games, or the one where he played a majority of 14 straight losses? Perhaps he gave up a few times because the rest of the team just didn't give a damn for a while. It's hard not to, Miller did it in the past. I'm just not sure how much more playing time you want out of him. He's working on his 5th full season and over 100+ starts.
  16. Should you be comparing Miller from last year on the Sabres, or his previous seasons in which the team in front of him was better than last year.......all while having a lower save percentage? I would compare the norm, not the exception. The fact of the matter is, Enroth is the best thing the Sabers have. He's dependable, healthy and is arguably starter material. At least for the moment. Hackett is unproven with a knee injury. Neuvirth is injury prone, has been all his career; he's soft. The two Swedes coming up aren't close to ready. Assuming Enroth wants to stay, a 3 year contract is optimal for both parties. Terms should be irrelevant at this point. By the way, I know why you brought up Miller's season from last year. The higher save percentage on a worse team. Don't want you to think I overlooked that. I responded before you made the next post. I'll get to that later. ;)
  17. Perhaps 'stable' was a bad choice. I don't really think the Blues should count, because...........well............. there's that 'sample size' thing again. :P He is right, Miller's numbers with the Canucks were lower than his average. However his numbers have gone back up to .915 which is right at his career average.
  18. Well, you have your advanced stats and you stand by them. I can appreciate that, I even think there is room in sports for BASIC advanced stats. I don't agree with everything you said, I'll gladly get into more detail if you wish to take this to another thread, after all this is a GDT thread. Either way you're going to have a tough time convincing me that the reason Enroth's save percentage is 12-18 points lower this year isn't because of the team in front of him. Just as you pointed out Miller's numbers remaining stable, I can just as easily point out Enroth's decline being proportional to the team in front of him. No goaltender in the league would be above .910 on this team. For what it's worth, I'm glad Dubnyk is getting his shot. I think he has a chance to become a #1.
  19. I glanced over those, I'll look more in-depth later. The problem I have with advanced stats are the variables are highly debatable. The author can create any variable he so desires to throw into his formula. Just because his argument sounds legit, doesn't mean it is. Sorry, if team quality has little to no bearing on save percentage, that means Quick is a 20-30 goaltender. Or Jaroslav Halak, finishing in the top six in save percentage three times throughout his career but now sits 25th in the league...... on a team with absolutely no defense. Yet the league thinks that's good enough to give him an alternate spot at the All Star game. If quality of team has little to no impact on save percentage, why is it Hodgson's defensive liability is always such a concern? It's certainly not about the number of shots given up.
  20. I don't even know how to respond to that....... and I've read some ludicrous statements on this board.
  21. Am I the only one that had this song going through my head when listening to the locker room interviews? Yes he is. To hold that kind of save percentage behind one of the worst teams the NHL has seen in decades is incredible.
  22. I know exactly what you're talking about. He didn't have that confused, scared look any more. He didn't look like a kid. I think it looks great! Does this mean he knows he's not getting traded?
