Buffalo 66 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Chan Gailey, Ralph wilson, Russ Brandon Whatever who needs them? The Sabres got it going on, so the hell with the bills, forget about them, eveyone else has, this is a great city and the Sabres CAN bring us a championship, so support them, they are for REAL. Be happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zazie Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 In first place overall, with a VERY balanced team, the best goalie in the game at present, and great talent ready to be utilized in Portland...plus Coach Ruff; if there was ever a time for optimisim this is it. Go Sabres! FU, Nix!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Ya... But their management sucks... They got rid of DB and CD years ago! "and people put down the front office of the sabres...mainly reiger! that is sad." I never did... NEVER. I said that even after the 2007 season. The only one wish I have is that we never let go Marty, but he was DB's buddy anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. ChumChums Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Sabres have actually had a pretty poor track record of drafting first rounders. They just happened to have hit on Tyler Myers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Sabres! FU, Nix!!!!!!!!!!!!! It really is all Ruff at times... As much as I have been on a rollercoaster about possibly having to get a new coach... Would any coach get as much out of players as Ruff does. He is quite a commodity. I so deparately want a SC with him behind the bench! I feel time may be running out and that is unfair... Sadly unfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Let's not get ahead of ourselves Sabre fans... Yeah, I'm enjoying the ride but realistically don't expect them to get past Crosby come playoff time. Even if they ended up top seeded by a significant margin. They had their truly golden opportunity when they lost to Carolina in the conference finals. Now there is a two-time conference champ lead by a young superstar......until proven otherwise everyone else is playing for second place in the East. Really can't be upset about it, the NHL is all about superstars and dynasties. But imagine if the Sabres had gotten Crosby(or even Ovechkin). Damn lottery. The Bills would be an afterthought.

ExiledInIllinois Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Sabres have actually had a pretty poor track record of drafting first rounders. They just happened to have hit on Tyler Myers @ 6-7 or so... It is hard not to. Just wait to see how the game transforms when bigger players start hitting the ice. That is once they have been taught to skate early on. Just imagine if a team can get an agile big goalie... One that doesn't go into football... They would literally plug the net. IMO, I see it as good and bad. Bad, because the ice will get smaller and smaller and the goals harder to come by with 5 on 5. Tyler himself said that if he would have never moved to Alberta from Houston, he would have ended up playing football or something other than hockey. He has got quite a stride. Big guys are only the tip of the iceberg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even Kane in the summer of '06. They did try and make a deal with Dale Tallon (GM) of the Blackhawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sabres do have Tyler Myers. He looks like the best defensemen we've ever had and a future Norris Trophy winner. Plus Ryan Miller is currently the best goalie in the NHL. So the Sabres do have some stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our superstar is Ryan Miller. We got one. The balance on the rest of the team, plus guys getting called up and scoring in their first NHL game etc., bodes extremely well. I see a Buffalo tour for the SC this year! I see no hope whatsoever for the Bills. What the hell are they doing anyway? Man is it sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But man, even the best between the pipes can get sketchy at times... ESPECIALLY during the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crosby is one person and he no way near the "Next Great One" He is a good player and great at times but not always special. He lets his emotions get the best of him and crys like a whore paid in pennies. The rest of that team is not playing well and the chemistry is not there. One or two trades to get some more scoring power (trade Vanek)... And we got a shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one wish I have is that we never let go Marty, but he was DB's buddy anyway. They did destory a Cup Contender in the middle of what could have been a great run with stupidity. I like how they're playing but it's January. In the insanely long hockey season, there is a very long time to go. I fear they don't have enough scoring.

NavyBillsFan Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I think we will see the last coach hired of the Buffalo Bills that we know today. This team is sad and we are haunted by a owner who is lost his mind back in the early 90's. They will be gone after this next disaster. This team will never get back to being a contender. Lots of fans do not have that passion for the Bills anymore and after the FA period, you will see people bail for the door. There will be no Owens to save the day for the season ticket holders. Yeah, the Bills sell out, so what? Most people go for the gameday parties and to get railed. Same crap, different year. I quit buying into it after the whole Doug Flutie playoff situation. Ralph should not own this team, bottom line. Nobody wants to manage, coach, or play for the Buffalo Bills. A sad situation and not fair for the people and fans of this team. Most loyal fanbase in the NFL and it would wreck the city if they left. I think its a dead situation anymore and this coaching situation is straight moronic. Ralph said he was going to open his pocketbook for a coach? Id like to see those offers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
