87168 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 Ryan Miller is the least of our worries right now. Are you sure? Despite the fact that he's not even in right now I'd say he's a main priority.
james duncan Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 Not to mention the fact two of those were routine saves. If Miller wants to be pampered like the "golden boy" superstar he thinks he is, he needs to play like one. Gotta wonder if having a strong #2 for a change is playing with his head.
tulax Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 Must stop tinkering. I think it took two shifts to break up the Vanek-Leino-Pommer line. At this rate, every single forward the Sabres have will have played with each other by the All Star break.
TheMatrix31 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 We must..must....MUST convert on this PP.
... Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 I hope Pegula saved his receipts... Me too.
HopefulFuture Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 None of this should surprise anyone really. Not addressing the core issue of this roster (everyone was screaming for defense, well, look what it got you). Basically, teams are using our own 05 to 07 formula of speed and a mean forecheck against us. I don't blame Miller, I blame Lindy Ruff. No offense to the Ruff lovers, but this is just a pathetic display of his continued failures. I didn't expect anything different this season though, not until they address the overall issues upfront.
Snowmobiler97 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 At least the Leino,Roy,staff line looks good
TheMatrix31 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 Are you sure? Despite the fact that he's not even in right now I'd say he's a main priority. I don't think he's been that bad overall in the season. The guys in front of him haven't done anything to help. Some goals have been his fault, but you see that much action, you're gonna let a few in.
novascotiaguy Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 I like Ruff but if this team keeps going down he may not last long
elj4176 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 I might be able to score high glove against Miller tonight - and I don't even play hockey!
james duncan Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 Are you sure? Despite the fact that he's not even in right now I'd say he's a main priority. Unless Enroth lets in four or more, this is gonna get ugly.
JJFIVEOH Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 Gotta wonder if having a strong #2 for a change is playing with his head. Maybe. That should be a good thing, lol. A strong #2 should give him extra incentive to play well...... if he feels threatened by a #2 maybe he shouldn't be a #1.
Iron Crotch Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 Philly gave up 9 the other night to Winnipeg, so the optimist in me says we still have a chance in this one. :D

Strangely enough, Lindy called out everyone...other tahn his goalie in that quick interview...
wjag Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 Not hard to imagine what the threads will be like on this board tomorrow...

A strong #2 should give him extra incentive to play well...... if he feels threatened by a #2 maybe he shouldn't be a #1. Maybe when our number 2 was Lalime....but that's not the case anymore. He needs to really shape up.
JohnRobertEichel Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 I think it took two shifts to break up the Vanek-Leino-Pommer line. At this rate, every single forward the Sabres have will have played with each other by the All Star break. I don't understand why Leino needed to be put into the top line against his former team to spark his game. Shouldn't his crappy play in the first 10 games be the spark he needs to up his game? Even if it's on the second or third or fourth lines? See, this is what potentially scares me about Pegula's Dream Team: too many guys paid like superstars now, and not enough guys with the proper self-motivation needed to win a Stanley Cup.
... Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 Gotta wonder if having a strong #2 for a change is playing with his head. I think there's someone else playing with his head.
North Buffalo Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 Sabres still need a number 1 center. The D is trying to take over that role, but leaving counters exposed and teams have figured that out. Got bring in Weber and play solid D and not so much attacking unless the Sabres can get a Center.
darksabre Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 Philly gave up 9 the other night to Winnipeg, so the optimist in me says we still have a chance in this one. :D This is what I'm thinking :beer: Enroth looks good, Leino Stafford Roy looks good. Let's see what happens.
87168 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 Not hard to imagine what the threads will be like on this board tomorrow... It will be pure entertainment.
waldo Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 Myers :wallbash: Be careful . he is a top ten defenseman, just read some of the posts here

No worries, he's already off the top line.
