spndnchz Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 Maybe to avoid messing up the trade threads we can start a list of Darcy's previous and current (aren't they always the same) reasons why he did next to nothing. Post one sentence per post so everyone has a chance? I'll start "The shopping is much better in the summer"
PromoTheRobot Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 "It's hard to make trades in the NHL." PTR
R_Dudley Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 "Their wasn't a deal that met our objectives."
Mbossy Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 "I think some kids are getting very close to be able to help us now."
LabattBlue Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 "It's hard to make trades in the NHL." PTR Winner! This will never get old.
nobody Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 "There are you happy? Now stfu!" Maybe he just thought that one. :)
shrader Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 "It didn't matter what I did, you still would've been upset."
LabattBlue Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 Has Darcy come out of the bunker yet? If so, you know the deals are done for Buffalo.
spndnchz Posted March 3, 2010 Author Report Posted March 3, 2010 "They wanted a prospect and a first round pick, that was too much". From his latest press conference. He wouldn't say who.
Rip Titwide Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 "Its better to wait and see what the market-place looks like"
static70 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 "We are going to evaluate this team in the offseason"

Corp000085 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 "Tim Connolly is our trade deadline pickup."
Scotty Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 "PC Load Letter ?!? What the F$%!K does that mean on the fax machine Quinney?"
Eric in Akron Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 "PC Load Letter ?!? What the F$%!K does that mean on the fax machine Quinney?" :lol:
Eric in Akron Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 "We are still in the process of our evaluations and feel that too many changes will force us to reevaluate our evaluations."
Stoner Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 Art imitates life, or life imitates art, not sure, but man we heard a lot of these, and variations thereof, in the presser. A new one for Darcy was The Fear Factor. "I've studied this. I really have. I took my box lunch of a white bread sandwich -- that's two piece of white bread with air in the middle, and my three nilla wafers to the Erie County Library and I studied the NHL archives on their microfilm machine. And you're more likely to make a mistake at the trade deadline than not." He said it! OK, some it! It really is the defining comment for the guy. He operates out of fear. Fear that he could actually make a mistake managing a two-year-running non playoff team that is in the midst of an near-historic collapse. Un. Fricken. Believable.

(As we've discussed in another thread) I'm willing to buy the party line the last two years...and I'm even willing to buy not doing anything at this trade deadline to not panic and overbuy/oversell...but he better stick to the summer moves line he dropped, this time. There's no doubt the team needs improvement, no matter what happens the rest of the way.
mrjsbu96 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Posted March 4, 2010 In no way am I defending Darcy, but what moves/players were out there to be had with so many teams still in the running for playoffs? I am having a tough time faulting him for this deadline - the problem lies more in not "re-adapting" to what it takes to win in this league again. That said, I think I am going to like Torres b/c he can score and muck it up, but we stil have to many softies on this roster..

He is unwilling to move roster players. At the rate this team is going, a fire sale may have been the best Idea. These ass clowns this team fields on the ice now are horrible together, no chemistry. Miller is in the same position Hasek was in. This may continue for 2 or 3 more years, I gotta think Miller wants a championship, he's already showing his frustration this year with his comments to the press about his team mates play. Darcy could have made bolder moves, he didn't, he failed, he has failed since he's been here. I don't see a Stanley Cup Banner hanging in the rafters at HSBC, thats a statement unto itself. Its been long over due, its time to move on from Darcy Regier and his style of management.
