I think we all (and I mean anyone from Buffalo) do this. I see Sabres fans do it. Bills fans absolutely do this. Citizens of WNY often get uppity when an out of towner or celebrity do this (Tom Brady and hotels?). I generally sing a lot of praise for our home town (and related professional sports activities), and I constantly hope for things to improve, but it's all too easy for me to verbally destroy anyone that criticizes any of it if I don't perceive that they're either "in the family" or genuinely have some novel insight. I haven't thought about what the cause of this is. Wolf pack mentality?

Somebody rehire the Earl of Bud so that we can refire him. Fire the fans for not constantly cheering.

Nobody's gonna hurt anybody. We're all gonna be like 2,861 little Fonzies here. And what's Fonzie like? COME ON SABRESPACE WHAT'S FONZIE LIKE? WHAT!? CORRECTAMUNDO! And that's what we're going to be. We're gonna be cool. Now when you yell at me, I get nervous, and when I get nervous, I get scared. And when ###### get scared, that's when ###### accidentally get shot.

I'll bash Bucky regardless of how I feel about the team. He writes trash. It's coincidental that I don't 100% agree with his opinion. I think several posters have relayed this position. And because turnabout is fair play, and I'm now being lumped in as "an apologist" because I think Bucky is garbage, I can rightyfully group all of you haters together for you nonstop bawling about everyone that should be fired- and that apparently includes anyone that enjoys Gleason's column. But I won't. Because that's the message board nobody wants- a digital streetfight of haters and apologists. Dumb as hell.

Doug McKenney is part of the status quo! Fire him too!

Great, now some NBC asshat blogger went and spread this pile of ###### even wider. http://prohockeytalk...ent-been-fired/ Most liked comment by a factor of two: Not that he’s wrong, but Bucky is a gigantic tool When the column you write paraphrases a column someone else writes that paraphrases imaginary sources, it gives decent human beings aneurysms and they die.

That's after tonight. I think you bring back Myers, stick him with Regehr. Put Ehrhoff and Sulzer out against the top lines. Put Weber and Sekera together and shield them. Give Myers some PP time to help his confidence, but leave him off the PK for now.

Some plus/minus-type defensive stats after tonights game. Ehrhoff is 2nd among NHL defensemen in team goals scored for while he's been on the ice, and 11th among all players (Vanek is 1st, Pominville 5th). He's been on the ice for 21 of Buffalo's 38 goals. Pominville (T-1st with 23), Hodgson (T-1st with 23), Leopold (4th with 22), and Myers (7th with 20) are all at the worst end of the league in team goals scored against while each has been on the ice. Vanek's 4th among forwards with 15. To rephrase this, Leopold is the second worst defenseman in the league in total goals scored against and Myers is fifth worst. Leopold has been on the ice for 22 of Buffalo's 46 goals, Myers for 20.

Dear HD television providers, Please don't broadcast close ups of Harry Neale's face. Thank you.

Ehrhoff should buy stock in Itech.

Ennis just trashed that backup.

Ohh, Ehrhoff. Franchise defenseman. Outstanding job on the kill. This could be our new top pair in Ehrhoff and Regehr. And Leo, who's been good with the puck so far this season has about four turnovers so far this game.

I've missed Regehr's shot blocking.

Gerbe's skating hard tonight. He hasn't played more than 9 minutes in a game this week, 4 minutes last night. Good to see him starting to make an impact a) over others that haven't and b) after coming back from injury. Keep it up, I know you've got it.

And some owners sternly recognize this fact... and then hire their backup goaltender. That's still funny to me.

So what I'm gathering from various blurbs and interviews this weekend: 1) We have a development plan for Grigorenko and that an occasional healthy scratch is probably part of that. See also: Tyler Seguin. 2) Ruff worked the team on the off days this week to improve team defense in practice, perhaps a reason a few Sabres looked sluggish last night. Tough choices in a compressed schedule. 3) Ruff has certainly not been oblivious to Myers' struggles and has been actively working with him to get through it. Sounds like more growing pains and confidence building. Remember Chara didn't develop into what we're asking of Myers now until age 25-26. Lots of pressure on the kid. 4) Regier has been actively trying to part with defensemen, likely Leo, to turn the D around, but other teams aren't offering anything more than picks or spare change, which don't help us mid season. Hey, where's Tim Thom- oh yeah. LULZ.

Yes, goal-tending (sic?). He publicly called out his goaltending. I'd say Miller's performance was a good response.

There's two sides to this.

I'd hit it and stay wit it.

I really need to read threads. This whole time, I was assuming were working on this premise:

I'd like to request the bibliographic citation for this information.
