WildCard Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 It's Buffalo, we cannot have nice things. That explains the Pegula conspiracy theories
Brawndo Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 That explains the Pegula conspiracy theories How about cannot have elite hockey players?
WildCard Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 How about cannot have elite hockey players? I've always thought the tank a sure-fire thing; given the stats and Buffalo's overwhelming stash of unused Karma. Not sure why but your post made me think of life without McEichel...
kas23 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Someone has to do something about Neuvirth. This is ridiculous. Someone send him used Kleenex or something.
calti Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 close call there.....up 5 one in hand...not so bad
LastPommerFan Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 I've got the first $50. Who wants to start the gofundme page for hiring someone to infect all our goalies with measles?
pi2000 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Neuvirth singlehandidly robs the Sabres of a precious point against the worst team in the league. What an . I figured things would tighten up at the top of the standings in Feb. However with only 5 home games over the next 5 weeks, and the trade deadline looming, they should find themselves at the top of the CHL for the final week of the season.

Not sure why but your post made me think of life without McEichel... Sorry Wild. The Tank absolutely should be a sure thing, but Hutton is the 28th backup goaltender the Sabres have faced in sixty games. Without Enroth and now Neuvirth this would have been over a long time ago. The Sabres still cannot score but Neuvirth has had over a .950 Save Percentage since Enroth left. Nolan has already declared he will ride this horse as long as possible. Analytics proved they did not belong on the same ice as the Preds and yet they escaped with a point. I guess it's years of conditioning as a Buffalo Sports Fan coming through. As long as True Blue, PI 2000 and others keep saying it's going to be alright I will keep the faith.
Andrew Amerk Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Neuvirth really is becoming a problem.
Brawndo Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Neuvirth really is becoming a problem. The Canucks could use some goaltending depth

Trueblue has brought me back from the edge on a few occasions now.

Quickly climbed back though, we will win the Shart!
Brawndo Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 The wild card has to be GMTM. He designed this team to finish 30th and I believe he will move Neuvirth to a team that will not resign him and attempt to resign him July 1st if Neuvy wants to return. I have a feeling we will see a heavy dose of Lindback and Hackett going forward.
calti Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Up three with a game in hand... Not five. in my best Ed McMahon voice..You are correct sir!
LGR4GM Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 I don't believe he designed this team to be this bad.
SabresFuture Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 I don't believe he designed this team to be this bad. Really? I thought he did an amazing job of designing the team this year of assuring 30th place.
LGR4GM Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Really? I thought he did an amazing job of designing the team this year of assuring 30th place. He did not bring in Meszaros and Benoit because he knew they would suck.
Samson's Flow Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Really? I thought he did an amazing job of designing the team this year of assuring 30th place.Agreed. He was even aggressive in free agency in getting vet players on the downside of their careers. It looked like improvement but was really filling roles so that we don't ice a team of all 20 yr olds
calti Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 tanking takes brilliance. lots of landmines out there.
Brawndo Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Looking ahead the CBJ Backup's Backup has an 0-3 Record .864 Save Percentage and 4.85 GAA. Last game was Feb 14th. Any doubt he starts against the Sabres on Tuesday?
