shrader Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 Need better passing, we sould bring in emilio estevez....start picking up garbage through the town of buffalo and practicing with eggs. I still think Mighty Duck references should be banned from all ice rinks around the world.
qwksndmonster Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 That quote from Vanek makes me nauseous. He might as well just say "We think we're pretty much the bomb and we don't think we need to prove it." :blink: what. Nah, running this into the ground is way more fun. Yes. I still think Mighty Duck references should be banned from all ice rinks around the world. Oh and I suppose you want to ban Slap Shot references too?
R_Dudley Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 I still think Mighty Duck references should be banned from all ice rinks around the world. Agreed but slapshot references should be mandated.... McGrath: I got a good deal on those boys. The scouts said they showed a lot of promise. Reggie Dunlop: They brought their f_ckin' TOYS with 'em! McGrath: Well, I'd rather have em playin with their toys than playin with themselves Reggie Dunlop: They're too dumb to play with themselves. Boy, every piece of garbage that comes into the market and you gotta buy it! McGrath: Reg, Reg, that reminds me. I was coachin' in Omaha in 1948 and Eddie Shore sends me this guy who was a terrible masturbator, you know, couldn't control himself. Why, he would get deliberate penalties so he could get over in the penalty box all by himself and damned if he wouldn't... you know...
papazoid Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 i'll be at the game tonight... next press conference excuse....they're trying too hard, they need to relax and have fun.
JWell Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 Last game i went to was the 8 to 1 game vs the thrashers last year i should go more often. i have only seen 1 loss a few years back. im 6-1
DumbPuck Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 Last game i went to was the 8 to 1 game vs the thrashers last year i should go more often. i have only seen 1 loss a few years back. im 6-1 I was at that game too :-). Let's hope tonight involves the crowd cheering "1, 2, 3, 4, 5 WE WANT 6" like we did in that one ;-).
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 i mean, c'mon. with gambling, the very nature of the pastime contemplates a divide between the interests of the house and the interests of the gamblers. with pro sports, the organization and the fans want the same thing. fans can disagree with how this team is being managed. but that doesn't somehow mean that darcy or ted is nefariously cackling behind some curtain, mocking the rubes who continue to buy tickets and gear, in ignorance that there's no hope for success. they're trying to get to where we want them to be; you may think they're going about it the wrong way, but this isn't a rigged house. I guess you missed the Golisano/Quinn presser last year :w00t: That's the standoff......I know in my very being that Darcy/Lindy need a crazy amount of good luck to pull off a Stanley Cup. If that day ever came, I would give due. However, under their leadership, this team has been nowhere near sniffing a championship recently, and even though blank checks have been thrown around and we are 1/3 through the season....the same issues with the team seem to exist. I will never be proven correct and can only be proven wrong with an infinite timeline. A poster who preaches patience always has next year to be correct. In my opinion, Regier and Ruff have already reached infinity.

shrader Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 :blink: what. Yes. Oh and I suppose you want to ban Slap Shot references too? Woah now. Lay off the crazy talk. Next you'll be putting Angels in the Outfield (to be fair, maybe it is decent, but I've never seen it) in the same sentence as Major League.
That Aud Smell Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 I guess you missed the Golisano/Quinn presser last year :w00t: fair deuce. my comments were really intended to be directed to current ownership.

In my opinion, Regier and Ruff have already reached infinity. this debate started because you first likened patient and faithful fans to corporate yes-men (and suggested that rigorous debate was needed), and then you likened the organization to a rigged casino. now you're back to where you should be: unequivocally stating the firmly held opinion that, if pegula wants to win multiple cups, then the first order of business should be to replace the current GM and coach. i don't know that i disagree with you there.
darksabre Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 :blink: what. I suppose I could elaborate. It sounds to me like he's saying the majority of the team is positive that they're really good, and as a result, they don't have to prove it. Which is what leads to these half-hearted efforts where they "get comfortable." If I'm a proud man, I'm convinced that anything I do well can always be done better. And that once I become better I may become great. Being content with where you are as an athlete (or as a worker) leads to being content with ones effort. Sounds to me like most of these guys are way too comfortable.

"Yes-men" in the sense that some "patient and faithful" don't want to become aware of potential shortfalls. Potential discussion is brushed off at times. I used the rigged casino in the sense that I in my heart KNOW we can't win with the current combo. Yes, that is opinion in reality, but to me it is a fact. I can never be proven correct, I can only point out continued faults and negative synergy of the current setup. I have no problem with ownership and what is in their hearts. The process by which they attempt to reach their goal I can take issue with though.
CallawaySabres Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 I was at that game too :-). Let's hope tonight involves the crowd cheering "1, 2, 3, 4, 5 WE WANT 6" like we did in that one ;-). I threw out the 1....2.....we want 3........shots late in the 3rd on Wednesday
Robviously Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 That quote from Vanek makes me nauseous. He might as well just say "We think we're pretty much the bomb and we don't think we need to prove it." I don't think that's what he was saying at all.
kishoph Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 Anyone know the record this season with Doug Allen singing the anthems ?
inkman Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 Tough to be confident in this team today. I feel this way every game. Every game, every season.
inkman Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 Is Ghislain a popular french name? Yikes!
K-9 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 Please make garbagnani go away! At least break him and Errorhoff up. Neither seems to have much confidence in themselves, let alone in each other. GO SABRES!!!
inkman Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 I've seen that play by McNabb made 1000 times, this is the first time I've seen it called a penalty. I wouldn't be surprised if Shanny told the officials to stick it to the Sabres if they so much as breath on a goalie.
Marine0369 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 can anyone tell me what gragnani brings to this team? why is he on the pp?
K-9 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 Gotta take advantage with these PP gifts. Vanek is due. GO SABRES!!!
Kelly the Dog Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 can anyone tell me what gragnani brings to this team? why is he on the pp? Lindy wants to play him until he makes one good play, and then say "See? He's good!", even if it takes 67 games,
inkman Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 can anyone tell me what gragnani brings to this team? why is he on the pp? A mystified confused look on his mug at all times?
