This sent me over the edge after PA pointed it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb8L_G4PtPc Watch Teddy at 0:35 yank the Make-a-Wish kid out of the way....then at 2:10 when Terry wants to get his picture taken.....Ted ignores...rolls his eyes and throws the head....then looks for a scapegoat on the other side in Sabre scout, Rip van Winkle......but it was too late and Ted wasted all that black shoe polish in his hair for nothing.

Um,… you really do need a new hobby. I didn't see any of what you saw.

What exactly were you watching? I saw absolutely none of what you described.

Rip van winkle,lol. Honestly, Devine does look a bit like a character out of 'Horton hears a who' but I don't really see the other stuff.

Possibly the most asinine thing ever posted on the internet. And that includes the nutballs who think the Newtown school shooting was staged by the Feds. Congrats. :thumbdown:

Can we close this thread. It's officially an embarrassment.

 

Kinda late? I'll say it. We have a bunch of dildos on this board who think they know the business of sports, and don't. It's a disservice to the readers here. That's the embarrassment.

Then leave again.

Thanks for posting the video.

 

This organization is a joke.

 

Another thing I noticed. It looks to me that Risto, on the biggest day of his hockey career to date, looks like someone just told him his mom was cleaning out the bottom box in his closet back home and turfed out his prized collection of ####.

 

He does not look that happy to me. Maybe he was hoping to be sellected by a different team.

I think Ted Black was replaced by an alien lookalike.

 

Also the Sabres really should follow etiquette and thank the host city of the draft.

I'm not even sure who the fella is that I was referring to....the one with his arm around the pick with Terry. Ted was about to sell him out but the cameras were all ready to go. And it's not like Ted gets all violent, but why is it that you have to physically move the kid away from Pegula so you can stand next to him? If that was Ted's kid, or a relative of someone on stage, then my apologies. If it was a contest winner or really a Make-a-Wish kid.....yuck. I guess for some people, the best part of the game is finding the right talent to win the race. For others it is getting your picture taken in the winner's circle.

It is an unfortunate feature of this forum that when someone quotes a poster you have on your ignore list, the original post is displayed in all it's unglory.

Why would you ignore anyone anyway? You need to enjoy every post in every thread for the little gems that they are.

Should I be overwhelmed by the desire to be entertained by baseless theories cooked up from the assumption that the Buffalo Sabres are run by idiots far less competent than an average internet user, and owned by people who are only interested in the Sabres for the rich gas deposits under the FNC and hiding their involvement in international child pornography rings, I can always chose to open and read the posts against my better judgment.

 

Most of the time though, I am looking for something else from this forum.

 

Anyway, to get back on topic. Buying out Gerbe was an excellent move, I think the Sabres have been very patient with Mr. Gerbe and given him every chance to succeed, but he has not. So, good luck to him, the Sabres even did him a favor by releasing him from his contract so he is free to seek employment elsewhere at a reasonable compensation. To try to spin a move like this into another management failure is a pretty difficult task, so kudos to the ones who have tried to do just that. It's a sign of dedication to the cause to try to turn a move like this into something negative.

I'd like to see Gerbe succeed elsewhere and shove it in the Sabres face. He was just coming off an involved back surgery. What we have here with the Regier and the Sabres is a dictatorship, an authoratarian regime. I first got a clue at this when Tim Kennedy had the audacity to take the Sabres to arbitration and was s-canned. Darcy loves to push little guys around, big hero that he is.

 

I loved this quote from Gerbe about confidence before the end of the season which Rolston probably took offence to. Of course, he's absolutely right. If there's a problem with that, you can only get away with the fake boosting of confidence for a short time. Gerbe might make a great coach someday:

 

“I think confidence is 95 percent of this game. It really is,” said Gerbe, 25. “As an organization you can't squash guys' confidence every single day, and I think you've got to realize that everyone in this room, if they're confident, you're going to have a good team. You guys see a stretch of someone having confidence, and then you see a stretch of someone not having a confidence, and it's a world of difference in a player. It's not a different player, it's confidence in the game. That's so important to each individual. We've got to do a better job of that.

“If a guy's playing well, reward them. If they don't, talk to them. Don't just call them out. Everyone sees it in every sport. Confidence is far beyond anything you can imagine.”

Mensa-level work here. Running a hockey club should be a democracy and no one should ever be waived, released, or bought out, or really even traded because that'd be pushing guys around.

I saw that quote the other day and it struck me as something a loser would say. Wake up and smell the coffee, Gerbs. Confidence works both ways. And it starts with YOU performing at a level of consistency sufficient enough for a coach to have CONFIDENCE IN YOU. If you don't, that coach owes it to everyone involved to find somebody that does and get him in the lineup.

 

Sounds like Gerbe had his feelings hurt. Give the coach a reason to keep you in the lineup and nobody is talking about how fragile your confidence is.

 

GO SABRES!!!

Gerbe has no place on an NHL team.

 

Still, it was kind of nice for this non-NHL player to put the Sabres in the playoffs in 2011. Fitting. Neither belonged where they ended up.

I don't mind that he is gone, but I still think he has the ability to be a Marchand-lite in the right place. If you have guys on a line with him that can move and have some size, I can see him getting some space and being a 10-15 goal scorer on a 3rd or 4th line. He isn't weak....he's pound for pound one of the stronger guys we've had. I think he lands a spot and if healthy, is useful.
