Maybe they'll bond... ? https://api.twitter....957933516103680 The players have quit. Management and the coaches have seemingly quit. Why not the pilots ? What a stinkin mess this franchise has become in a short period of time. The hockey Gods must surely be pissed at someone.

Hawerchuk Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Well, one could say we were. We were one of three teams (I think) with the highest chance of winning that lottery (I believe it was Pittsburgh, Buffalo and Florida). Pittsburgh won. Sabres picked 9th that year. GDamn Pittsburgh gets gold again and gets Crosby (and Fluery, and Malkin and another Stanley Cup). God, I hate that F&$king team!!
stenbaro Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Why the heck weren't we this bad when Crosby was in the NHL draft? We were we just lost the coinflip....LOL
kishoph Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Three shots on goal in the final period while trailing by 1 goal, also with over 3 minutes on the PP, inexcusable Starting today, the Buffalo Sabres reason for existence will be to get the #1 pick in the Draft. Mr. Pegula, Mr. Black, please do something.
Bullwinkle Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Why the heck weren't we this bad when Crosby was in the NHL draft? You seem to have forgotten how they conducted that draft. We had just a good a chance of getting him as Pittsburgh did. Four ballots each if I recall. Sabres picked 9th that year. GDamn Pittsburgh gets gold again and gets Crosby (and Fluery, and Malkin and another Stanley Cup). God, I hate that F&$king team!! No, we got the 12th pick in that lottery. Well guys, One More Step closer to YAKUPOV!!! We can do it!
deluca67 Posted January 22, 2012 Author Report Posted January 22, 2012 No - they dont want the Sabres to lose - they want to crucify ruff and regier for sport. They have been trying their damnedest for years, whether it was justified or not. Leave the attitude at TBD. Please!:doh: Ruff and Regier are no victims. Their fate is well earned. They are responsible for this physically & mentally soft poorly coached team, not the local media.
korab rules Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Please!:doh: Ruff and Regier are no victims. Their fate is well earned. They are responsible for this physically & mentally soft poorly coached team, not the local media. Did I say it's not deserved? My point is they are enjoying this for personal reasons.

Ross Rhea Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 well, this was supposed to be a big year. miller was gonna have a bounce back and prove it year, regier was finally rid of quinn and had a blank check, ruff was finally going to have the horses to win, the owner couldn't spend anymore because of the cap so he spent on creature comforts, all anyone ever asks is for a player to have an average year and show effort.................. EPIC FAILURE ON ALL ACCOUNTS. they can get rid of every single player except Meyers, Pommer, Vanek, Enroth, and the kids 23 and under, all the coaches/gm too and start over for all i care. This crap on ice is embarrassing to watch.
SwampD Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Yeah, and Adam was -2 and looked like crap on the Blues first 2 goals. A rookie who can't clear his zone doesn't get ice time under any coach in the NHL. The way people bitch about Adam, you'd think that he was Wayne Gretzky Jr. Okay, it was six shifts, not three like my gin soaked eyballs were telling me last night. The first goal is on Kaleta. He got caught on a long shift and couldn't handle a good pass that Adam gave him from the corner, then can't clear the zone along the boards. The second goal is on Myers. Wow, did he look bad on that play. First he goes to cover a man that Adam is already covering, then gets caught to far to one side, bumps Miller on his way back, then gets spun around like a top by the guy. Maybe Adam could have done more there but I'm not sure what. The rest of the time, the AVP line had some of the only sustained pressure that the Sabres had all game and were inches from getting a goal when the puck stopped in the paint. Seeing as how his replacement didn't do anything either and that it was Vanek and Adam standing in front of the net on our second goal, I think it was a stupid move to split them up.
Claude_Verret Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Sabres picked 9th that year. GDamn Pittsburgh gets gold again and gets Crosby (and Fluery, and Malkin and another Stanley Cup). God, I hate that F&$king team!! We need that anti-Pittsburgh poster to come back and go on one of his I hate all things Pittsburgh tirades. That would be therapeutic to read right about now.
carpandean Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Hopefully we'll have some luck and land this guy: http://www.hockeysfu...hail_grigorenko Franchise center. ... who's playing RW in Juniors. Alex Galchenyuk is actually playing center here (centers Yakupov in Sarnia) and might be ranked higher than Grigorenko had he not blown his knee out. Well guys, One More Step closer to YAKUPOV!!! We can do it! Only if we win the lottery in a #2-5 slot. We aren't catching Columbus. They'll have a 48% of getting him.
Gramps Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 Hadn't seen much of David Backes before last night, but I now realize he is 10x the player Derek Roy ever thought about being ...
LabattBlue Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 We need that anti-Pittsburgh poster to come back and go on one of his I hate all things Pittsburgh tirades. That would be therapeutic to read right about now. I was thinking about him when the Steelers lost in the playoffs a couple of weeks ago. I also enjoyed his rants. :thumbsup:
Bmwolf21 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 ... who's playing RW in Juniors. Alex Galchenyuk is actually playing center here (centers Yakupov in Sarnia) and might be ranked higher than Grigorenko had he not blown his knee out. Based on the limited stuff I've read about Galchenyuk, I'd be more than happy if we had to "settle" for him.
Koomkie Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 He's 18. He *could* play for the Sabres now if he were good enough to make the team (doubtful). But he's not eligible to play in the AHL until he is 20. You could make an argument that the league he is in in now is a step above AHL anyway. I'm sure he'll get a chance to make the team next year at camp. If he doesn't make it he'll be back home. thank you.
LabattBlue Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 What is wrong with this team? Only 6 players credited with a hit(a total of 10 for the team). Top 4 offensive players(Vanek, Roy, Pominville & Stafford), a combined 3 SOG. There will be no playoffs for the 3rd time in 5 years. Regier and Ruff are gone come April(at the latest). There will be major player changes in the off-season. THIS SUCKS!
LaLaLaFontaine Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 The positive thing is, that i do not not shout anymore if i see the condensed games. I just exspect to see them make a lot off stupid Junior league level mistake and loose the games. This time it was not so devastating as expected, because Mille made some decent saves. But the number of defensive zone turnover which led to gold chances by St Louis was unbelievable. Is Terry Pegula still alive? I don't know how an owner can't do anything about this. The team is a joke, no commitement no heart no grit, nothing. Doanybody know where i can get some DVD about the golden Hasek time. A best of of his crazy saves, a best of of Lafontaine and Mogilny, a best of of Drury and Briere time? And don't believe that i can stand watching this team any longer. I really started to watch the highlights of other teams which i don't hate to get a glimpse of satisfaction.

Give me a team with cajones who doesn't back down from any team and competes hard every night start to finish and I am in hockey heaven. Build me a team built like the Bruins or Flyers or any number of other teams with the right mix of skill , toughness , grit , and thats something Sabres fans can be proud of. Not embarrassed by like this current bunch. Show Regier the door and get a g.m. in here capable of this and I'm one happy camper. Last nights game was another joke on a long list of abominations this season and nothing has or is being done. Make it so.
