inkman Posted November 19, 2013 Report Posted November 19, 2013 Been a while since I've done one of these. Don't have time to put together elaborate OP, so here goes. Sabres may have a new look tonight with Nolan's anti teenager movement. ....and the return of sausage, I think...
LTS Posted November 19, 2013 Report Posted November 19, 2013 I was handed two tickets to the game tonight.. so I'll be making the commute after work. And here I thought i was only going to be at next week's game against the Habs. So, bottom line.. when I get a chance to go to the game I'm always excited. Now, to figure out logistics...
Derrico Posted November 19, 2013 Report Posted November 19, 2013 Looking forward to the game tonight. I wonder if Zadarov is going to get one more shot before being sent back to London.
SwampD Posted November 19, 2013 Report Posted November 19, 2013 Sausage? Derek Roy. Does he get a standing O?
26CornerBlitz Posted November 19, 2013 Report Posted November 19, 2013 Derek Roy. Does he get a standing O? Only after the 3 minute video montage.
LGR4GM Posted November 19, 2013 Report Posted November 19, 2013 Derek Roy. Does he get a standing O? Depends on how good those girls down on Chippewa are.
26CornerBlitz Posted November 19, 2013 Report Posted November 19, 2013 @BuffaloSabres .@RyanMiller3039 first goalie off the ice this morning, expected to start tonight vs. @StLouisBlues. #Sabres #GameDay
Doohicksie Posted November 19, 2013 Report Posted November 19, 2013 I'll miss this one (or most of it). Traveling to Orlando this afternoon, plane lands at 8:30.
beerme1 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Posted November 19, 2013 Wish Z had one more game. Favorite player now. I am looking forward to a new feeling in the stands tonight. Maybe my section will even let a out a cheer!
SabresBillsFan Posted November 19, 2013 Report Posted November 19, 2013 The move to send all the kids down is the right one. Why destroy their confidence at such an early stage of their career. Have them develop in the minor's or junior and gain experience in all situations.
dEnnis the Menace Posted November 19, 2013 Report Posted November 19, 2013 I originally was on the "hand the team to the kids bus," but I'm beginning to think this is the right set of moves. I'll be watching this one in my man-cave with the girlfriend.

Maybe my section will even let a out a cheer! I would not count on it unless you go to a Toronto or Montreal game this year. The atmosphere was great on Friday but that was Nolan's first game and Toronto in the house. I really don't expect much of an atmosphere change until at LEAST mid year next year.

I disagree, I think that you might not see a huge atmosphere change right away, a mid week game against a western team isn't a huge draw/rivalry, but string a few good games and maybe a win against one of the better teams in the league and I could see a big atmosphere change in the arena before the middle of this season.

nfreeman Posted November 19, 2013 Report Posted November 19, 2013 @BNHarrington #Sabres Edge (w/audio): Three teams later, Roy shuffles back to Buffalo w/ #StLBlues http://bit.ly/1fSx6ZL And now we see that on a good team, Darcy's "#1 center" is a #3 center -- that is, when he isn't the #4 LW. STL has exactly the right approach on Roy -- a 1-year contract and a bottom-6 forward slot. They aren't relying on someone who is inherently unreliable and they aren't marrying someone who isn't marriage material. Anything he contributes (which isn't negligible) is a bonus. Great job, Darcy.

Great job, Darcy. Derek Roy in his prime was significantly better than a bottom-6 forward.
nfreeman Posted November 19, 2013 Report Posted November 19, 2013 Derek Roy in his prime was significantly better than a bottom-6 forward. I might say that at his best he was significantly better than that -- but you simply could not rely on him to be at his best. And he disappeared in the playoffs. At no time in his career did you want him to be one of your key forwards -- i.e. not one of your top 2 centers or, say, your top 5 forwards. If you have 5 rock-solid forwards that you trust -- like the 2005-07 Sabres -- could he be your #2 LW? Yes, but that's as far as I'll go.

If he had a real #1 in front of him, I think he'd have been an excellent #2. He never had that luxury.
