GDT: Rochester Ameri... err Buffalo Sabres vs Sens 4-4-18 7:30p EDT

And I just read the Sabres want Dunleavy back and they're working on a deal. (Rick is doing his usual dramatic "I'll think about it" which he's been doing for decades, but he said he's leaning toward coming back.)

 

 

Actually it's a perfect example of what new posters and posters who don't contribute a lot are complaining about. You can't be negative -- unless you're a crusty old SS vet. Otherwise, prepare to have your peeper slapped.

True, but this phenomenon is hardly exclusive to this board or message boards in general. It’s like that episode of The Big Bang Theory:

 

“We can say Jar-Jar sucks. You can’t.” (Star Wars nerd to a non-fan).

 

People will initially be protective of the hobbies they hold most dear.

So much for Quenneville.

Well it's a big chance for Phil to start and right the ship. I just want to see stronger efforts from the roster. For some reason, they took a bunch of games off. You could see it. There was just no effort on many a night. I know they may have a talent shortfall but some of the efforts were embarrassing. If Phil gets rid of that next season than maybe he sticks around for a while.

It started in preseason they looked uninterested, lazy, no sense of urgency and it carried into October and through Christmas before they showed a pulse for a bit then flatlined down the stretch. I've seen absolutly nothing from Housley that suggests he did anything remotely positive. Next season is a wash if he's still around.
