Alexander Semin to Buffalo Rumor per Ecklund

[johnyvegas]

Why are there always so many posts about what not to post? Is it so difficult to ignore something you're not interested in? I mean the topic has the word Ecklund in the title. Don't want to see a diccussion about it.. don't click it.

 

Personally, I like reading just about everything on this forum.. except for.. "please don't post" posts. They reek of "bash the new guy" syndrome. I say, more members, more voices, more topics = better forum. Basically saying "Your posts sucks and you are an idiot for posting it" doesnt exactlly encourace newer members to get involved in discussions.

 

Also.. i read (and enjoy) Garth's column on Ecks site all the time and even enjoy Ecks outlandish, highly speculative rumors. Trade rumors are just that, rumors. If you don't like reading them, then don't.

Honestly, the most annoying part is that NOBODY on this site, apparently, can spell "Eklund."

I got a sawbuck that says Andrew Amerk can spell "Eklund."

 

GO SABRES!!!

[nbash]

I think Stafford has to get moved the way Kassian and Adams and the kids are playing -- but Hockey Buzz rumors, particularly Sabre rumors, are so wrong they are actually enjoyable.

[waldo]

After watching him fight i am sure he will fit right in perfectly with the Sabres.

[SarasotaSabre]

lets just say I dont think the sabres have the balls to pull of a major trade for something that would actually help us and I guess i fail because I would love to see Dubinsky or Staal or Stastny in a sabres uniform but I wont. The best part is people are like OO yea that Semin guy who has played like absolute crap for the past two years we should get him.... shoot me.

 

Actually I disagree - I think the Sabres (with Pegula's direction/guidance) do have the balls to pull off a major trade IMO - and yes, a major shakeup is needed. Something just ain't smelling right with this team, so either Ruff goes or 2/3 name players go. Simple as that. Something needs to give. Everyone has injuries, I get it.....we are fortunate to have great organizational depth which actually played to our favor by allowing us to give the young kids valuable experience and perhaps creating trade scenarios involving certain veterans.

 

I say say all of this, of course, without any tangible belief of any of the trade rumors floating around out there. Listening to Ted Black last week on Simon's show, he stated verbatim that the Sabres will do anything at anytime to improve this club, so I think the willingness is there.

[nbash]

Agreed the Pegula Sabres won't be passive, but this doesn't sound like the answer:

 

In Washington's 2010 quarter-final match-up against the Montreal Canadiens, Semin received large amounts of criticism due to his poor play, as he did not score any goals despite firing 44 shots on Canadiens goaltender Jaroslav Halak, and finished the series with just 2 assists in 7 games as Montreal upset Washington 4-3 in the series, with the Capitals blowing a 3-1 lead. Semin was identified as one of the key players, along with Capitals defenseman Mike Green, who did not play well under the pressure.^[13][14]

you fail as well love it. NEWS FLASH! THAT TRADE IS A JOKE AT ECKLUND!!!! ITS THE EXACT TYPE OF BS HE WOULD SAY HENCE THE E4 REFERENCE IN THE POST!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH THE STUPID PEOPLE ARE COMING THE STUPID PEOPLE ARE COMING AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :doh: :wallbash: :wallbash: :doh:

 

Are you going to start posting like an adult one of these days or is this kid stuff gonna be about as good as it gets?

No, because to many of you on this board are all dome and gloom and sad grumpy people who are so content to bitch and whine about the sabres without ever offering anything other than the same old moans and groans up as posts. Derek Roy is a 60-70pt a year player with a great contract that according to the "adults" is worth about as much as a fart in hurricane. So I give up. People around here can't even take a joke. Its a sports team. You should grow up and move on with life because there are more important things than this team winning a cup.

 

Also I will say fail whenever I so chose because unlike any generation that has come before the Millenials, we think in a completely different and not understood way. They have mapped the brain of 20 year versus that of 40, 60, and 80 year old and found that the Millenial generation is the first generation in 10,000 years to have their brain completely rewired to think in a digital way. There is no anger behind this post, only sadness. Sadness that people would rather whine and bitch about a sidenote to a stupid thread than actually say that this team is in need of an overhaul.

 

It boggles the mind how no one on this team is worth anything but hey in the words of the older generations i guess i should just go "sit on it" or "go to hell" or whatever because I am a little kid whos ideas are stupid. I bet if I said we could trade Byron and Butler for Regehr Kotalik and a pick I would have been laughed at too. See thats the problem. Darcy lacks vision and so do posters who have sat around for decades being consistently disappointed by a team that doesn't have enough balls to do was is needed to win. To quote a great man, good night and good luck.

Normally I would agree with you, but it's different with Eklund. He's reached that "iconic" status where he should be piled upon as much as possible.

Thank you for putting Ekdouche in the title so I can ignore this completely.

i just bashed my head against the desk and now people are staring at me... :wallbash:

dude... just... ugh... :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash: :doh:

I think we should sit the head bashing and facepalm smileys for a couple days as a precaution. Could be suffering concussion-like symptoms.

[JJFIVEOH]

Semin had a string of 20 points in 12 games last year, then followed that up with 10 points in 23 games. Yup, he'd be a perfect fit for this team, he'd fit right in.

Whether or not your ideas are crap is not the assessment I'm making. All I'm asking is that you attempt to type your messages as if we were conversing in person. Being able to properly express thoughts and feelings is a reflection of how an individual carries themself. I don't act any different here than I do in person and I expect my posts to reflect that through their structure and tone. Posts such as the one I've singled out here are unfortunately characteristic of you and they reflect poorly. I'm simply trying to help you not look like a jackass. It's much more satisfying to knock someone down with a well constructed retort than just hitting cruise control and mashing keys.

 

Not hating, just trying to be constructive. :beer:

Wow, you're very evolved. I'm from that aforementioned generation from 10,000 years ago. You know, the first generation to have our brains rewired to think in a completely digital way. It's a two-edged sword though. I can make atomic bombs out of coconut shells but I have no fricken idea what a wheel even is, let alone know how to use one.
