bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 I've been talking about that for some time. When some of us proposed nights off for Ryan back in February and earlier this month, some of the replies were "ride him till he falls over." Guess what? It's happening now, at the worst possible time - just like some of us feared. Conklin? Right now I'd take ANY backup goalie that could be counted on to spell him a few games here and there. I think this is something that MUST be looked at in off season. Miller needs a blow and we need a damn backup that can actually stop the puck. That and a COMPLETE defense Overhaul is what is needed.
wonderbread Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 Good to see that when Campbell left he was kind enough to leave Lydman in charge of the patented pylon defense... No I think Toni was co-captian all year of the Pylon Defense.
plenzmd1 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 i am not one who jons in these game threads, but this game is juat a killing me. Lets just say I am one who believes Miller is the answer, just not this year. That postage was just like this season. Not giving up on the boys, just think this is not their year, Praying no playoff games hurts Golisona enoogh in the pocket book. WTF, how no penalty
Saudi Arabia Rob Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 At least they aren't letting people continue to hit Miller like some earlier games. Can't really deck anyone at this point, can't afford the penalty.
Bmwolf21 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 I think this is something that MUST be looked at in off season. Miller needs a blow and we need a damn backup that can actually stop the puck. That and a COMPLETE defense Overhaul is what is needed. I'm a big Miller fan and I can point out when he sucks. Tonight he's played well at times but has to stop at least one, if not both of the first two goals. That being said, the veteran defenseman who screw up regularly don't seem to get nearly enough scorn and attention from the media when they screw up - that was at least the fourth or fifth time in the last few weeks that Lydman has watched someone score and never put a finger on him. I'm fine with guys like Weber, Sekera and when he was up here, Funk - making mistakes that end up with scoring ops because they are young and learning. Lydman, Kalinin, Tallinder - these guys are vets and need to start playing with more consistency. The defense needs to be upgraded big time the offseason. As for Miller's workload? He doesn't need to play 70+ games. If we find a competent backup that can give us 15-18 quality starts, that would put Ryan at a very comfortable 64-67 games played, which I think is just about right. He's gonna finish with what, 77 games this year? Way too many, IMO.
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 Boston won time to clean those clubs up boys. If any of them are interested I can get tee times :unsure:
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 man we cant get it in the net. I am ready to see 5 forwards out there at same time, better than watching Lydman and Tallinder pretend to play D
jrsarkov Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 3rd goal was not miller's fault. that #%^$#!in 2nd goal he needs to stop
wjag Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 Gaustad gives us some life Buffalo: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: Ottawa: :angry: :angry: :angry:
R_Dudley Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 All right if ya can't beat em then just take out one of their top three with a cheap sot and send em hurting into the playoffs least we can do for all the chaep shots weve taken.. Run'em... :angry:
BetweenThePipes00 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 They may suck but at least they are not quitting
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 gotta get a win 1 point aint enough
R_Dudley Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 Sorry damn web radio delay,...damn can't afford the penalty now...
wjag Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 Mr Vanek, it is time for you to deliver on your guarantee..
Bmwolf21 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 Well, it's one point. Go balls-to-the-wall and push for the OT win, because we're not winning in a shootout. Miller can only stop one in the SO and our shooters can't score more than 1.
wonderbread Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 Sorry damn web radio delay,...damn can't afford the penalty now... You could be watchin it you stuborn fool.
jrsarkov Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 need the win. Thank you Goose for giving us a chance
Bmwolf21 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 Mr Vanek, it is time for you to deliver on your guarantee.. Who is this Vanek you refer to?
VABeachSabresFanatic Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 Gooooooose! The Caps tied their game up with a few minutes left - Buffalo definitely needs the win here. How about some late game/ OT heroics to spark a winning streak to save the season?
mrjsbu96 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 i really liked the way they played tonight....seemed like most physical i've seen them...the effort wa really their on that game-winning shift
wjag Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 Who is this Vanek you refer to? It's Thomas Vanish's alter ego
Bmwolf21 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 Tallinder, WTF was that? Heart attack city...
