He didnt lose this game because he played poorly, he lost this game because the team in front of him played poorly.

that story does get old after going on 6 seasons w/o a playoff series win though

Homie, while I agree with a lot o what you say, I'd argue that winning teams are good top to bottom. The scorers score, the hitters hit, the defenders and goalie keep the puck out of the net. This team has neither the talent nor the drive to be successful.

I agree, take the training wheels off Myers. Play him even more. 1st line powerplay and pk. Sending 25 down was ridiculous because he should be learning here playing for this awful 14th place team. Trade 3 and 24 now. Bring McNabb and Pardy up and even Pysyk.

Start getting better for tomorrow today.

Myers played 24 minutes and was a +1. He's been fine lately. I don't know why people don't see that. Guys need to play their role on this team and none of them are with a few exceptions, Ott is not a top 6 forward yet he's on our 2nd line, Stafford is not a 4th line winger yet his play has forced the coaches to put him there. They never ever play as a whole team, When has Stafford scored and Vanek scored in the same game? Why can't we ever roll 2 hot lines out on the ice. It always has to be a 1 line team

It's the truth though. You like to compare Biron to Miller all the time, yet you have used the same excuse your tired of hearing as the reason Biron never won anything here. Biron had a bad team in front of him just like Miller has had a bad team in front of him for the last 4 years

roy has 3 goals in dallas.
- joshs

How many points does he have? Gp?

Ott plays on the PP and buffalo is what, last in the league? no one should be surprised. He hasnt made this team any tougher to play against which is the reason why they acquried him in the first place.

Of course he is. Just like Vanek and Roy were a big reason last year. It just bothers me when someone like Ehrhoff has as bad a game as he's had all year today and all people can talk about is how unspectacular Myers is. Call a spade a spade.

The biggest problem with the construction of this team is trading roy for ott and all of the other stupid offseason moves darcy made just to get
"tougher".
- alexthegr8

Ott was a good move, he actually plays...

But thinkin guys like McCormick, Pardy & Scott to do so is just dumb...
These guys are all borderline NHLers,
And when they are in the line-up they hardly play bc They are one dimensional and bring nothing much else that helps the team

What we need is more guys like Ott that can play 15min+, against other teams top talent, and still provide that toughness

Brown, Callahan, etc... These are the type guys we need to bring in

We'd be just like Edmonton if we didnt have Miller since we lost Drury and Briere.

Man sbroads24 you continue to back 57 every game. I was at the game, he will NOT play physical, stick up for a teammate or show any emotion either way. I watched him a lot this afternoon, just looks like a guy playing at Holiday Twin Rinks on a Wednesday night.

Starts with the captain!

He is a nice 2nd line winger for a team making a real run at the cup. BUT HE IS NOT A NHL CAPTAIN.

Captain's lead by example. Trade Pominville first and move this team in another direction.

BUT................ it can't be Darcy making these moves, bring in Dudley NOW. He will address the overall team needs with a vision.

Rick Dudley = a real Hockey Man

No problem with Burke, his last name isn't Regier!

I'll take 24 minutes and a plus 1 in a loss. I really could care less if he fights or hits, that's why Regehr and Weber are here. Defenseman don't have to be hitting machines. Although I will admit sometimes it's frustrating him not using his size more

Yeah the defending of 57 is over the top. The fact of the matter is the kid hasn't improved his game since his rookie season, he's not a baby anymore he's a big boy and he needs to play like it,bottom line!

We'd be just like Edmonton if we didnt have Miller since we lost Drury and Briere.
- theblueandgold

That's why step one in our rebuild has to involve getting our next goalie...
I personally like Bernier,
But point is, no matter how much young talent we have in front...
If we don't have a goalie we aren't going anywhere

Agreed, and no one wants to stick it to the Leafs more than him.

- alexthegr8

roy has 3 goals and 15 points 1 goal from the pp and 3 assists
ott has 3 goals and 13 points 1 goal from the pp and 1 assist

ott sometimes plays on the pp. roy always plays on dallas's pp. ott for sure has made buffalo tougher to play against. idk what am i missing here?

I've wanted Burke for awhile now but it certainly seems like Darcy aint goin nowhere.

yeah i know its subtle things that are good about him too. i dont get the myers hate either.

whats wrong with being a +1 in this game?

I think it's people wanting change in the organization more than anything and I think we can all agree that Darcy needs to be gone now!

I don't think 57 had a bad game today but I've just never been a fan of him. Lot of little things about his game I don't like and he has more issues of the ice too.

yeah. i agree that darcy needs to be gone now before the trade deadline so the new gm can do whats best for the future of this organization.

The bulk of our problems with this team fall on Darcy's shoulders, he created this mess.

It's the truth though. You like to compare Biron to Miller all the time
- sbroads24

I have never done that

only stated he has won two playoff series since he started his first full season as a flyer and miller has won zero series

I have never said Biron was a better goalie

EVER
