spndnchz Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 @NHL Nathan Gerbe is extra motivated this season. Here's why: http://s.nhl.com/oWAmf "I was hurt in 2011 and it was something I didn't notice right away," he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 "I was hurt in 2011 and it was something I didn't notice right away," he said. So is he a Hurricane or Checker this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 He is going to prove a team up north wrong? Paging Nikita Zadorov, Nikita Zadorov to the nearest white courtesy phone, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paging Nikita Zadorov, Nikita Zadorov to the nearest white courtesy phone, thank you. You don't need Nikita to knock Gerbe down. I think Stafford is the only forward on the team soft enough to get knocked around by Gerbe. That said, you're trashing Gerbe alot. I wish him the best and I hope he does prove us wrong for letting him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chileanseabass Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 I was always a fan of Gerbe, and can't wait to see him in Charlotte this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdave Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 I went to the scrimmage on Saturday and was hoping Gerbe would be there. I guess he was still out with his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumbPuck Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 I really hope he does well. I think he will as he has typically performed well under pressure. Unfortunately for him you need to play well regardless of whether you THINK you're on the chopping block or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that note, apparently defending Stafford will be my thing this year :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not exactly a fan of Stafford's overall game, I just think the hate has gone too far. In spite of all of his shortcomings, he's a legit top-6 forward on a team that doesn't have enough of them.

It seems to me that he try's to think the game to much. whenever I have noticed stafford playing good it has been when he is reacting as opposed to reading the play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chileanseabass Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Midget wrestling tonight in the Canes/Habs game. 5'5" Gerbe and 5'9" pest Brendan Gallagher. 5 each for fighting, plus Gerbe with a PPG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, Gerbe has been a pleasant surprise. It looks like he will probably be a 2nd line winger to start the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaLaLaFontaine Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I am happy for him, if this will be true the whole season. At this point, Gerbe has been a pleasant surprise.

On that note, apparently defending Stafford will be my thing this year :lol: Then, right after the game, he said he didn't like doing it and that people shouldn't expect him to do things like that all the time. It was his last fight of the year and pretty much the last time he was useful for us. He immediately went back to being his usual sucky self. Drew Stafford isn't that interested in hockey and he sure as hell isn't interested in doing what it takes to be an impact player in the NHL. He literally tells us this. But Sabres management still thinks he's their type of guy for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a better team he's a third liner at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except on most teams, third liners are grinders and defensive type players. So he's not even that. He's just useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robviously Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Literally? He did not literally say the words "I am not interested..." but he did literally seek out the media after his best game in two seasons to let them know that he didn't like doing what he did and that no one should expect it to be a regular thing. This is, amazingly, what he wants everyone to know about him as an NHL hockey player. And, true to his word, it was not a regular thing and he went back to being the same flat tire he's been most of his career. What kind of competitor is eager to tell the media he's not up to doing everything he can to help his team win every single game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Stafford isn't that interested in hockey and he sure as hell isn't interested in doing what it takes to be an impact player in the NHL. He literally tells us this. But Sabres management still thinks he's their type of guy for some reason. He's the last of Darcy's "projects". It started with Tim Connolly, then extended into the the dreaded "core" years. Essentially, when Darcy has a "project", he's hellbent on sticking with it, no matter the cost or no matter how it hurts the team. Now, I don't think he does this because he's a bad person, I just think he's overly stubborn, and not very good at identifying when players don't have what it takes to compete every night, at the top level. He genuinely feels he can turn these players around, because obviously, they're talented - Surely, the rest can be taught! At least that's how it seems from the outside, looking in.
