Two or less Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 on the post-game show. We need a spark and Roy should have been with us all season. Both have been hot so let's see what they can do in this new NHL.
Larry Playfair Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 bring them on, we could use a lil something. But who goes down or gets waived?
Two or less Posted November 3, 2005 Author Report Posted November 3, 2005 Mike Grier got hurt i heard. I would not be suprised if Vanek goes to Rochester. Also, Pyatt's time is coming to an end.
Larry Playfair Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 agreed on vanek and pyatt. cant think of any other possibilities rt now.
NavySabre Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 While they're at it, they need to call Michael Leighton up as well. I saw him play against the Sabres in Chicago in Dec 03. He gave up 3 in a 3-2 loss to the Sabres that night and was still the 3rd star. He certainly can't do much worse than the Swiss Cheese twins tonight.

NavySabre Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 Well, having lived in Chicago for the last 3 years and Norfolk Va before that (Chicago's AHL team in there.) I've seen Leighton play abit. The kid is pretty good. He's not Ryan Miller good, but he held his own on a lousy Chicago team for the last couple of seasons before the lock out. He didn't do to bad in Norfolk either. If the Marty/Mika thing doesn't get much better than tonight, what could it hurt to try Leighton out ?

Sabresince70 Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 Can you imagine the justification for keeping Mika and Marty all this time and then playing Leightonen? Oh Lordy! I'm not saying they shouldn't have him up here - only that they won't be able to support the decision.
NavySabre Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 At the risk of getting my head torn off for even jokingly making this statement, but here goes.... Look what happened the last time we stole a goalie from Chicago. Ok, Now I'm ducking & covering.
Sabresince70 Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 Look, you might be right. He may be the best of the three. My point is we may never know. If they bring him up now, they still would be carrying 3 goalies on the roster (I am assuming that Miller goes IR) and again one would be in street clothes on game night. While it appears that Lindy is not interested in giving Noronen a fair chance (his words at the end of training camp) it seems highly unlikely that during the reg. season he would entertain "giving a fair chance" to another goalie. I'm sure if Grier is out for any length of time the will call a skater up for both spots - Roy for sure, I wouldn't be surprised if Janek was the other if Lydman is out for more than a couple more games.Question for those that see Roc. play - Is Janek much worse than Campbell?
Sabresince70 Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 Lindy didn't say he wasn't interested in giving him the chance - only that it turned out not to be fair to Mika - I just didn't hear him show concern when he said it. This was about the same time he said that the Goal situation would be finalized by the Monday before the season started.

DrunkenSabre Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 miller on IR, Roy or Pomiville gets called up. if griers hurt we're more screwed, his at least sound defensively. probably just means connelly and Roy may rotate.
BuffalOhio Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 Leighton would probably have to clear waivers to be sent back down when the time comes. Not sure the Sabres want to take that chance.
Jim Bob Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 bring them on, we could use a lil something. But who goes down or gets waived? Nobody's going down. They'll put Miller and then Lydman, Pyatt, or Grier on IR to create the roster spots for the call ups.
DrunkenSabre Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 Nobody's going down. They'll put Miller and then Lydman, Pyatt, or Grier on IR to create the roster spots for the call ups. lydman wont get IR'ed, we need him back asap, and you have to be on ir for a minimum of 7 days i believe, and i dont think ruff wants to take that risk. i think he ruled out putting pyatt on IR as well.

Pyatt was diagnosed with a mild concussion, so he has to sit for at least 7 days, so I'd expect him to be put on IR as well.
DrunkenSabre Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 Pyatt was diagnosed with a mild concussion, so he has to sit for at least 7 days, so I'd expect him to be put on IR as well. maybe after it was confirmed, but i still think our daft management wone IR him.
Jim Bob Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 maybe after it was confirmed, but i still think our daft management wone IR him. They are going to have to put Miller and someone else on IR if they are going to call up Roy and Pominville. I'd put Pyatt at the top of the list because he has a concussion and those usually take longer to clear up than say a groin or hip flexor. Especially since there are actual rules that the team has to follow with regards to treating a concussion unlike a groin or hip flexor.

shrader Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 Leighton would probably have to clear waivers to be sent back down when the time comes. Not sure the Sabres want to take that chance. He has already cleared once. Of course, this line of conversation is completely pointless. The only way he gets called up is if Marty or Mika get hurt.
shrader Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 It's official now. There's a story on the Amerks webpage that both players have been called up to Buffalo.
Two or less Posted November 3, 2005 Author Report Posted November 3, 2005 It's official now. There's a story on the Amerks webpage that both players have been called up to Buffalo. Thank god. It's good to know help is on it's way. Derek Roy should have been with us all season long. Anybody know what number Pominville will be?
Larry Playfair Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 Lets get this ship rolling again! Cmon Roy, bring that scoring touch with you to Buff.
