On Tavares? Not in anyway. He was cleanly on a breakaway. However, I think it was the right thing to do by Erhoff, it took 91 off his game and gave Miller time to prepare for a 1 on 1 in the form of a penalty shot

Shocking. Another fire R&R thread/article. Yawn

I thought his next start was tonight? Rumour has it he traded Miller for picks and set himself to be starting goalie. Although i'm not sure how confident he is, the goalie controls in NHL13 are difficult to get used to

Second game of the year against Toronto out shot 35-20, we won 2-1. That is on Miller. Ergo 40% of our wins are in games he stole I struggle to understand how someone doesn't think Miller objectively stole 2 games. Check out Luongo's defence - i'd swap ours of theirs any day

Yeah I guess it could actually. I was thinking how epic his two 5 point games where, kinda forgot how important his 2 goals and shoot-out goal were. 60% Vanek 40% Miller

Miller has stolen 40% of our wins. Vanek has stolen 40% of our wins. And Montreal OT win accounts for the remaining 20%

Yeah he did - and the same happened against Montreal. Weird. He had a season low 7.13 ice time

We were out played all game. I don't think he does. If we had dominated the game, then maybe On the plus side he will be fresh against the Bruins. Also Brennan was benched for half the game (7 minutes of ice time). So unless Regehr is back, I think Myers plays

Points are points. I'll take the last two games over the two before that. It might not b domination, but it is a win - it is moving in the right direction. We pay Miller and Vanek to be our best players, and this season they have been

I think Lindy is not playing Grigo in the first two periods for a reason. He has done it couple of times now. I think he wants to use Grigo as a fresh player in the third, and take advantage of tired players

Thanks Miller - 2/5 wins are thanks you and you alone

Nope. 2.44 through two periods 5.16 overall Almost half as much time as usual

Grigo gets an assist and has a wicked screen of the goalie. Foligno looked like he hurt himself on that play. 37-13 in shots

No, no. It will be 41 more events there each year (at most) :P

Normally he gets 10+ minutes, which i have no problem with

Grigo - 2.44 through 40mins We should send the kid back to juniors if he wont get more time

Nice shot by pommers after the goal

Why did Grigo only get 1.35mins?

Doesn't referencing a film quote kinda miss the point if you don't quote it?

Yeah I agree. I watched their game this afternoon, they looked good. The only way it is coaching is if it is right coach for the team. Objectively most would think LR is the better coach. Our third line has had some chances and not buried them - Grigo will start to break out and bury them over the next 10-15 games I think. Hockey has a huge factor of confidence - maybe they are just playing well because they know they can? But yeah I agree, I thought this team would be a bottom 5 in the eastern conference based on the line-up and summer

True, but their third line has out performed ours. A couple more goals from that line and we could have a couple more wins (considering a large number of our loses have been by one goal)

A part of me wonders. If we fired Ruff, and the Sabres didn't change. What would people blame? Would they be like lost lambs scared and confused, or would they just move straight on to Regier for not assembling the right team or something? I think their forwards line-up is similar to ours: Star winger - Two way player - Solid player (Young player with talent) Vanek - Pommers - Coho Young talented centre - Strong forward with size - Defensively solid winger who can put up numbers Ennis - Foligno - Stafford Skilled center - Checker - defensively solid, offensively limited winger who can play centre Grigo - Ott - Hecht 4th liners Their defense is not all that flashy but plays well. Not too sure why we are playing so poorly though.

I really disagree he has gotten worse. His point production is almost the same from the last two seasons, factor in the fact he was injured as well accounts for the drop. I think people are misremembering the last few seasons, i'm not too sure why. But he was very good the last two seasons - not as good as his first year mind, but still good. This season he has been bad - i think it would help having a vet who plays a similar game to look after him (in a mental case - tell him not to worry if he screws up etc.). We have one leader on D (Regehr) and he is both injured and plays a very different game. Erhorff is a vet, but i'm not sure he is a leader

I am glad no-one on her is a gm. Myers is both in a slump and a sabre - i'm surprised people haven't been suggesting we take salary back in a trade to convince a team to take him....oh wait yep they have. We would have to pay a team to take a calder winner.
