I'd imagine everyone except Kaleta, Ott and maybe Gerbe I think he is calling out most of the players. The leadership group has little control over how hard players try - that is down to the individual. Personal responsibility exists. Not everything is the fault of the GM/coach/leadership

So you CHOOSE to read these kind of articles in your spare time? :P Thanks for finding it, I'll read through it once i find the strength to wade through the stats

I dunno, I'm just not that impressed with him. He has been a plus player mainly because Ehrhoff is his D-partner. I really think the ones I named have been better players than he has. I also think neither has under performed this season really. But I guess people notice different things

Ron has had 48 hours and has done nothing. Never won a game as head coach in the NHL. I think it is time to find someone new NOW

Totally agree. I think he stick handles because he knows if he passes to Ennis he won't get to touch the puck until the next shift

I think it is generally the whole team not clicking. Everyone is making more mistakes this season (bar Miller)

Blargh. So basically nothing would change :P Foligno should be on the third line. Stafford should improve or ###### off. Porter didn't do much to impress me really - Tropp would be a good 4th liner, and another couple players like him would make it a dangerous hitting line. Girgenson will not be up next year. Armia can slot in Stafford's place Vanek - Coho - Pommers Ennis - vet centre - Ott/Armia Foligno - Grigo - Ott/Leino someone - someone - Tropp

I would think BS. They are a young team and so won't compete for a while. Although maybe they want vet leadership for their young players. Also, although Pommers has a nice contract, he is still expensive. I don't really see the Sabres gaining anything by trading Pommers/Vanek/Miller, unless it is for a boat load, or the players have told them there is a 0% chance they resign in 2 years

Pommers was 8th in the league in RW scoring last season and plays on our top PK unit and is defensively responsible. And he is only 30. That is a high priced proven commodity

Yeah as long as Ehrhoff, Sekera, Regehr and Weber aren't on the blue line.

Why is we could win the president's trophy if we got 30-0 or 27-1-2 but not 28-1-1?

if we trade Myers, I would want it to be a Pronger for Shanny style trade. O'Reilly is not a shanny. So I would hope it would be Myers for O'Reilly and a first this year + (a lot) extra. Although I would still keep hold of Myers, see how he fairs under this new coach. I think RR might be the perfect fit for Myers. I really like his cerebral approach

What did he say in the press conference?

Yeah good idea. trade 2/3 of our only good line, so we can have a really young team with no direction. The Oilers top 6 are basically all number 1 overalls and they are struggling. We need to move what isn't working, not what is working

Gotta feel sorry for the sens. First Spezza, then Karlsson, now Anderson has been taken off injured. No luck this season

Why do the stats say the goalie should be pulled so early? (i.e. where did the information come from?) Not doubting you, just would like to know more

Reminds me of Regier and Ruff. Regier the puppy looks protective over the scared Ruff rabbit, but ultimately you know the puppy will just ###### itself at some point

In fairness, he is our 7th. Myers, Regehr, Ehrhoff, Sekera, Weber are the top 5 and in theory leopold should round that out to be 6 with sulzer as 7. Although for some reason Leopold has been especially awful this season. I think he can - that first period was Norris worthy, the second was top d-man worthy and the third was mediocre (alright for the first 10, a couple mistakes in the last - including the 5 on 3). I have taken to watching him and him along on the ice when he is there, so i am spotting the smaller nice plays he makes/used to make in his rookie year. The forwards are still screwing up the exit from the d zone a bit. I think they are the real problem

He was really good for the first 50 mintues of the game What did he say?

I hope DR makes a big trade to bring in some young talent. We need Leino back here. That or lets start selling early and try and get Mckinnon or Jones. Also lets friggin play Grigo. Unless he is being kept from playing for trade reasons?

We have 4 players who are dangerous on the ice.

Guess Myers Norris trophy night is over. This team needs another 2 top 6 players - one of which needs to be a centre

Tere is a stoppage every 10 seconds this period

No. The move we made is the same one every team in the NHL would make. Big changes don't happen until the offseason
