OH OK you're right Hasek is the greatest of all time silly me
- blizzzard

About time you realize that.

LOL why the hell wouldn't I
- blizzzard

Greatest puck handleing goalie ever but far from the best ever.
Put him on Hasek Sabre teams and hed be ok at best.

That trap hockey makes me want to puke.

I have a set of tickets available for the game on Sunday. 300 level. Message me for details.

How did the Kings win the Cup last year. Mistake free, shut down defense and oppotune scoring. Sounds old school to me.
- Dwight K. Schrute

They won the cup because of Quick.... Mistake free!? Did you watch the games??? Quick was in GOD mode for the playoffs.

- hubie

I wouldn't go that far

About time you realize that.
- Dwight K. Schrute

So now that we cleared up why he was clearly better then Marty can you jump to how he was clearly better then Roy as well

So what if he's old school? So is Ken Hitchcock, How have the Blues been since he has taken over ?
- sbroads24

Ken isn't old school.... He even admited to changing his style for the blues after getting fired.

And talk about a stacked defense, I can't think of one player on the d for buffalo who would have been a #3 for nj

- sbroads24

hitchcock was interviewed after taking over the blues and going on a tear. he was asked what the difference was between st louis and cbus- he said he realized it was not 1999 and brett hull and joe nieuwendyk were not on his team. he had to loosen his grip and let the kids play.

anyone see lindy doing this any time soon???

Good to see. Hoping you guys can win a cup this year because obviously we arent.
- Rally_Shots

Not me, I want to see another tire fire.

So now that we cleared up why he was clearly better then Marty can you jump to how he was clearly better then Roy as well
- blizzzard

Your joking right? Hasek played on a team that would have finished in the bottom of the league every year with any other goalie. Hasek is the greatest goalie of the 90's and IMO of all time.

So now that we cleared up why he was clearly better then Marty can you jump to how he was clearly better then Roy as well
- blizzzard

as odd as it sounds are Roy and Marty far off in terms of ability in the net?

I always find it hard say all tiem at any position but Marty Roy Hasek all played "at the same time"

Its like saying will there ever be a better D man the Orr?

you wanted to trade Myers for a bag of pucks after one period of hockey in the first game of the season... hypocrite much?
- JVince11

1 bad period?

I know you cant possibly be serious saying that.

It's only been one bad period right?

I would trade Myers outta here 24/7/365. My opinion has not and will not ever change about him.

I am not going to get into this about him again. When one poster at one time called him a lame giraffe, that was right on the money.

Ken isn't old school.... He even admited to changing his style for the blues after getting fired.
- Smittyx36

His style is similar to the one that beat us in the finals, limited shots on goal, his offensive style has adapted but they are just as stout defensively. And did you just say a coach adapted??? Lindy take notes

Explain to me why his production is decreasing and he looks lost, for yet another year, on the ice. Is that a system thing or Myers natural talent?
- RynoBull

so when myers was a rookie he was blatantly disregarding lindy's "system" and won the calder.

now lindy has convinced him to play under his "system" and he looks lost

thank you for clarifying, i was so confused.

statistically- no. eyeball test- yes. not even close.
- battelmt

patrick roy is the best ever.

Ken isn't old school.... He even admited to changing his style for the blues after getting fired.
- Smittyx36

Lindy coaches buffalo like there the early 2000 wings puck control team

So now that we cleared up why he was clearly better then Marty can you jump to how he was clearly better then Roy as well
- blizzzard

He did more with way less talent on the roster. Hart trophy on an average at best team. No trap crap in front of him like Marty had. And he literally set the bar for goalies during his career.

Thats lindy's problem. He is still coaching like its the 90s... He clearly refuses to change his style. We play not to lose and we get BURNED

- battelmt

Nope I still see Matt Ellis

Who exactly has Ruff destroyed?
- Dwight K. Schrute

I've been waiting for an answer to this for... well, ever since they started spewing this nonsense.... Name me any player who Ruff ruined... Seeing as how he's had such an abundance of "talent" to ruin since he's been here. I would argue that he has squeezed every last drop of talent out of whoever he's been unfortunate enough to coach... Besides Hasek (whom he was very lucky to have)

Briere is probably the only player you can point at and say, "Look he has played better since leaving". But, he also played very well for Ruff.

So please name even 1 player he ruined with an explanation as to how that player was ruined.

1 bad period?

- BuffaloHardHat

So what do you think a baby giraffe gets back in a trade?

so when myers was a rookie he was blatantly disregarding lindy's "system" and won the calder.

now lindy has convinced him to play under his "system" and he looks lost

thank you for clarifying, i was so confused.
- robz228

Nope. Myers was fresh his rookie year and was playing his own style and now he has adjusted to ruffs style of play and he is average at best. Ruffs style is not working here anymore. HE HAS TO GO.

oh god dont say marty
- hubie

Roy.

He did more with way less talent on the roster. Hart trophy on an average at best team. No trap crap in front of him like Marty had. And he literally set the bar for goalies during his career.
- Dwight K. Schrute

Lets be blunt all the Hasek teams sucked I mean come on Derek plate was leading scorer and holzinger was first line center , only good we had was our checking line peca varada and ward
