bottlecap Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 time to get rid of Mouse Potato; he's got to be getting these penalties intentionally to play off the team.
Goodfella25 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Wow that extra sleep sure paid off for the Sabres. Oh wait, it appears that they haven't woken up yet. Do we have a front office? I mean are the fans the only ones that actually watch these games? Because these guys are just going throw the motions. They don't care--and it shows!

It's pathetic.
McJeff215 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Another night of high-priced keep away on ice. Ought to be three-zip, if it wasn't for the save by Miller.
darksabre Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 I was watching the replay of the RIT vs. UConn game I missed this Saturday. I watch that game and feel like the players are doing what I'm thinking. They position themselves well and make the right plays along the boards. I rarely find myself feeling like something isn't quite right. Watching this team makes me feel funny inside. They just don't play the body right, they don't move right, the don't position themselves right. None of it seems "natural". This team has no rhythm to their play. Just a bunch of individuals who might be talented on their own, but with other players they don't seem to have "hockey sense". If what I'm trying to get at, makes any. Oh and they don't play physically enough. Buncha sissies. btw, thanks derek roy, for your usual interview rhetoric. not moving our feet like we should, gotta play better, capitalize on our chances. yack yack yack, all I hear is the same old CRAP.
Goodfella25 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Seriously. They play with such little care. It's pathetic. Exactly...and it actually makes me sad for the sport itself. To have players in the league that are literally there collecting a pay check night in and night out and putting forth such little effort is just horrible for the game of hockey. Everyone talks about trade this guy trade that guy--I would feel bad for any fans that have to watch players like Kotalik glide through the majority of the games. I love hockey but man, these last 2 Sabres seasons have really been very tough to watch.
bottlecap Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 it is pretty unreasonable scheduling, for them to have a ice delay in Chicago the night before. But what are we supposed to think when "Dump and Chase" becomes just "Dump."
Eleven Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 http://atdhe.net/live-tv-2.php?i=652 Navy, I'm one of your big critics on this board, but I've got to say, you've turned over a new leaf. Three threads in a row, and nary a criticism of the front office, nor any complaint at all, in any of them. (And no references to a certain disgusting internet vid that you used to bring up in Bills chat, either.) Instead, some great links to game video. Is cool.
NowDoYouBelieve Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Remember the days when a bad first period and a 2 goal lead didn't seem insurmountable? I get frustrated when I work my butt off, then arrive at home to watch millionaires do their jobs like they don't care.

I get frustrated when I work my butt off, then arrive at home to watch millionaires do their jobs like they don't care. I get mad when the players on my intramural team don't play hard enough, and we PAY to play hockey. How a professional hockey player can play with so little passion is beyond me. I cannot comprehend such a thing.

How a professional hockey player can play with so little passion is beyond me. I cannot comprehend such a thing. The sad thing is that this attitude runs rampant in every sport. I think a lot of guys on the rink/field/diamond/court don't actually give a damn whether or not their team makes the playoffs. By the way, whereabouts in lancaster are you from? LHS grad?
Goodfella25 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Adam Mair is the only player that seems to care at all. But as I said before, as long as butts are in the seats and you and I spend our hard-earned money on jerseys and other merchandise, the Sabres aren't going to feel pressured to do a damn thing about this pathetic hockey club. That is just the reality of it. I think that has been proven true as things have played out over the last few seasons. Management has been coasting through the last 2 years now because they are waiting for the Connolly, Afinogenov, Spacek, and Kotalik contracts to expire so they can shed that payroll. Then you will see some young guys get a regular spot in the lineup (Gerbe, possibly Myers or Enis) and Darcy and co. will pray that we get another run like 05-06. Oh, here's the main problem--too many of the same kind of player--bad ones. These players all play the same way: Afinogenov MacArthur Paille Stafford Pominville Hecht Kotalik Connolly All soft, all the time. It doesn't matter which of them Lindy puts on whatever line...the result is the same.

I do my best and post a ton of great stuff here. As far as my certain topics, its the internet man. Nothing more. Im one of the biggest hearted people you would ever meet. Enjoy the game!
NowDoYouBelieve Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Yessir, Lancaster '05. When I'm in Lancaster home is my parents' house on Schwartz Rd. Nice, I'm Lancaster '07, currently at Cornell. My sister was in the '05 class though, do you remember a Kate Sage?
bottlecap Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 the Stars fans don't know much about hockey. listen to them cheer as their guy chases the puck towards the open net on the delayed penalty.
ThePebble19 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 well, a nice goal on the PP...better get a lot better from here on out though. This team is showing little identity right now.
darksabre Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Nice, I'm Lancaster '07, currently at Cornell. My sister was in the '05 class though, do you remember a Kate Sage? yeah I remember Kate. I remember an Alex Sage too... this game is not over. Tell me that again if they manage to tie it up. :P
JohnRobertEichel Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 this game is not over. yes it is.
NowDoYouBelieve Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 yeah I remember Kate. I remember an Alex Sage too... That'd be me :thumbsup:
Two or less Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 yes it is. I'm one of the more positive ones on here and honestly, you think we can come back from 3-1 down with 20 to go? I really don't see us winning this game, in fact, i still think the Stars score 6 on us.
SwampD Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 yes it is. All I can say is,"WOW" The bandwagon has definitely pulled out of the station. Dallas is lower in the standings than us. They have the same issues as us. Which means they also let up and let teams come back and beat them.

And if my lids happen to get heavy during the third, well, WGR will tell me what happened in the morning.
