So if Detroit wins, they will set a franchise record for their 15th home win in a row. Exactly what we need.

I was in the 2nd row corner to the left of Howard (1st and 3rd). 99% of the Red Wings fans were respectful of me and the dozen other blue jerseys around, but there were a few typical d-bags talking shit to me and flipping me off or shoving me in the concourse. And all the way to the parking garage I was reminded by about 50 people how much my team sucks. All I could say was “Yes, I’m not blind. I know they suck.” Fucking spoiled-ass Wings fans wouldn’t understand what it means to be from Buffalo.

At least Enroth had a good game… right?

He made some good saves, but the Red Wings seemed to pop it back into 2nd gear for the rest of the game and cruise on to victory. I do not blame them; if you can get away with 100% effort for 25 minutes and then you can do 50% for the rest., why bury the team that night? It is a long season….they should save their energy for their playoff run.

Ryan Miller...

Is not the Goaltender that he was in past seasons.
His numbers, and I won’t quote them cuz I’ll upchuck in my mouth, are not the numbers of a starting goaltender who wants to keep his spot.
They are the numbers of a bushleague tender who doesn’t have the supposed talent that the Ryan Miller of old did at one time.

I am absolutely tired of watching this team provide thier opponents with free chances by turning the puck over 10 plus times a game.

This team has no chemistry. No dependable goaltending. No heart to grind it out deep into the game.

As far as I am concerned, I am embarressed by them. I burned my Miller Jersey tonight, and I won’t watch another game until they either trade him, bench him, or ship him to Rochester.

Where to find answers

At this point, despite injuries, you have to look at leadership of this team. It is just not happening. Look what a coaching change did for the Rangers.

By the way, saw Craig Rivet playing 2 leagues below the NHL for Elmira in the ECHL. At first I thought it was pathetic, then I admired him for loving a game so much, that he would play his heart out in front of 4,000 fans when he used to be a big star for Montreal. He is not the captain but “directs” everything on his shift—the team is in first place.

by sabs3 on Jan 16, 2012 8:26 PM EST reply actions  

And just to add.

No way hes playing in front of 4000, I live near Elmira, and work in that “City” … no one goes to those games, they give out free tickets at local banks and stores.

But yes you are correct, as bad of a player he was and we all ran him out of town, hes a real LEADER

Don't now if they're free

Miller needs to go, period.

a. He is overrated by any analysis. He had ONE outstanding year. Other than ONE year his best save percentage was .918. So his second best year in terms of SP would put him ranked at 17 this year. There are handfuls of goalies that are better.
b. Enroth gives us a better chance to win and he has respectable numbers this year
c. Miller’s salary is enough to pay an actual great NHL player

Called it
That’s it, Buffalo is never scoring again.

as an aside

do I remember Adam playing with TV and Pominville early on and scoring goals and so on?
Am i wrong ?
If not what happened to put him on a 4th line?

Kind of hard to do anything when you don’t get the minutes.

Seriously if they don’t want to use him, Send him to Rochester so he can develop.

I guess I should look up a dominatrix.

I’m interested in inflicting pain on myself as well. To WGR I go!

Embarrassing

Like it or not, Ryan Miller, once the heart and soul of our beloved Sabres, is no longer interested in bringing a Stanley Cup to Buffalo, New York. It’s time for him to go. It may not be the most logical looking move, but it’s in the team’s better interest. In the same vein, Drew Stafford is no longer interested in driving the net. He can go, too. Derrick Roy, known league-wide for his crybaby ways, should be gone. He does not reflect the product we should be displaying on the ice. Package them and send ‘em off. Thing is, there really isn’t a culture of winning associated with Buffalo, hockey or otherwise. I wouldn’t want to play there unless I was Matt Ellis and I could commute to and from Welland, Ontario and collect a decent paycheck. Who else? Darcy Regier: Gone. If Pegula were smart he’d make it happen tomorrow morning. He’s losing the fan base and all the hype he brought in. Likely losing cash as well … Where’s Kassian? Foligno? Poor Vanek. Gaustad = Gone. Boyes = Gone. This organization is in serious trouble. Anyone got Pegula’s contact info?

Watched the new “ALCATRAZ” premiere, missed this thread. Sounds like the game was disgusting.

Sabres almost to the point of “fish or cut bait” and I hope it’s the former.

I liked it. A big mystery how prisoners and guards show up 50 years later not a day older than what they were in 1963.

Plus the hot female cop has a nice rack.

Never saw that show (Reno 911). The 2 prisoners that came back so far killed at least 10 people but were recaptured and placed in a modern high security super-secret location prison.

Surprise twist – the (Detective Rebecca Madsen/actress Sarah Jones) hot cop’s grandfather, whom she always thought was an Alcatraz guard, was one of the prisoners, and killed her SFPD partner in the premiere opening scenes.

The good guys are a secret force. Not FBI or CIA but they are Feds.

Whoever this moonshining caller on WGR is is my hero.

He covered all the Buffalo basics: Been here since the inception of the team, being frustrated as a Bills fan, and just not being able to watch because it’s painful.
