Game Discussion Thread GDT: Buffalo Sabres @ Winnipeg Jets 3/5/12 8:00PM

What the heck is it with quiet and polite Buffalo fans? Let's have some fun and some rowdiness at our events. No wonder the Buffalo Sabres are a 'soft' team with a soft coach and a a soft mentality - the softness extends to the fans themselves.

Agree with the last part. Definately

 

To be fair with Vanek thats the 'perfect hindsight' game. We don't know if Edmonton would still be in the position they are with Vanek, they might have gone down a different road. We don't know, so we don't know what kind of 'top line talent' we'd end up with. I'm saying at the time the right decision was made based on the factors present at the time. Looking back the decision looks iffy (I still prefer Vanek in a Sabre jersey but there you go) but like the Peca deal for Connelly and Pyatt at the time it looked good (especially considering we couldn't sign Peca).

 

I'd still take four 20-25ish spot 1st round picks for Vanek. Edmonton could have gone on to flirt witht their division championship every year and IMO you still make the trade. The decision to turn down the picks for Vanek was a PR decision, not a hockey decision IMO.

Now you would, then you wouldn't have. I'm saying that as fact as well. I know how paranoid Sabre fans were after the Briere/Drury crisis.

Oh boy, here we go again..

We have beat them up enough. Posters need to leave Chet & Muffy alone. Muffy will be reading her book, and Chet is with a client trying to close a big deal. :lol:

I said it then. I don't have proof, but I said it. You don't know what would have happened but first round picks are worth proven players in trades.. that's why the Sabres have two of them this year.

They are just being polite and not trying to wake any of the players or coach taking their naps on the bench.

No matter what they did I doubt it would change Ruff's expression. LOL

Lies. The Brits have lie detectors that can detect back in time and sense across the intertubes. They know your thoughts from July 1, 2007. And if they don't know they will tell you what it was anyway.

Lol. Ok but forgive me for being skeptical when I see so many people saying 'I said this!' when I damn well remember they didn't. Whether you did or didn't in this case I still believe the majority of Sabre fans would wanted Regier's head for letting 'another star go'. Plus it would have made us even MORE unattractive to possible FA signings as just a tight ass team who refuse to pay.

How could you "damn well remember" anything that was said by anyone here when 1. you have only been a member since 2010 and 2. the person you claimed to know what they were thinking (me) wasn't even on fan forums on July 1, 2007?

 

Keep to your own opinions and not projecting others opinions and we can discuss.

I meant in general, not specifically.

Then your mistake is in projecting general responses onto individual people. One of the beauties of this website is the amount of individual thought that goes on. There isn't much groupthink among the better posters.

Yeah! There isn't much groupthink among the better posters!

Right, let me ask you this as you seem incapable of actual understanding. Have you EVER had someone say something like 'X will never happen' or 'I think we should ditch X' then a while later, when they are proved wrong they say 'oh i said that'd happen'. Sure, thats happened to everyone.

 

My point is that I remain skeptical that as many of you that say 'ditch Vanek, like I ALWAYS said we should' actually always said that. I don't believe that and I never damn well will. SOME might have, but few, very few (Whether you specifically did or didn't is irrelevant). Really is it that difficult to see?

I thought there was groupthink here, but if you guys say there isn't, then I guess I'll have to go along with that. No groupthink. So says one, so says we all!

[RazielSabre]

Infact let me ask a different question, had we lost Vanek we would have yet again proved that the Buffalo Sabres org will NOT spend money on players, that they are a cheap team. Anyone see that?

You really need to get on board with what everyone else is saying here. ;)

Lol, fair enough. I saw the opportunity but didn't take it, though I'm still not sure why. Maybe because I thought Weave might take it the wrong way... :ph34r:

[I am Defecting]

We should all be a little nervous.

 

We're posting in a game-day thread from the Jets game.

 

I'm surprised we haven't been BUSTED.

 

Mods, just so you know, it wasn't my idea, and I was just doing what the others were doing, and didn't start it.

It's just one value-added post after another, innit?

 

Here's a tip: finish your juice box, clean up your room, and learn how to communicate better. Otherwise no one will be interested in anything you have to say.
