Good fight though... A bit dirty for neil to hold his helmet like he did and throw another punch when robyn was down on the ground.

Neil would never do anything dirty

You knew that was coming.Give the last goal to Miller who fell alseep like the rest of the team long before him.Vanek get your lazy ass off the ice.

That was a real night-and-day difference between periods: After that first, I can't believe that Ottawa's up. I thought the Sabres had 'em right where they wanted 'em...

Those first few shifts of the period completely changed the momentum, unreal.

All season long we've seen this. They are now a -17 in the 2nd period.

It's Neil... He's a bit dirty. Wasn't terribly dirty, though.

He's really 'on form' tonight... Running around, stirring up poop, getting his fists up.

Love to see him and Ott go at it .

. Its just pathetic to see that kind of stuff that goes unnoticed by the refs.

I don't know why people want us to keep vanek at all...

This team seems incapable of playing an honest 60 minutes
- Pierceme69

They only have I think 1 game this season were they played a complete 60 minutes.


I don't think there is any legitimate argument for not blowing it up and firing Darcy.

Of all the things to complain about that period. Neil? Really?

It was a good honest fight and he just had to live up to his reputation of being dirty. Plus he mugged Weber earlier.

Agree. There is no longer an argument for keeping him. We have to do different stuff.

Love to see him and Ott go at it .

That'd be a doozy

Those naked pictures Darcy must have of T Pegs

That's an insane differential. What do you think it is, confidence, coaching...?

Bad goal by Miller no argument there, but at the same time, it was a 2 on 2, and our defensemen just backed into our zone. Why not step up on the guy at the boards, force him to dump it in?

Instead we backed off and gave them the zone and space to make that play.

is vanek playing today?

im not trolling if he is playing..i dont think ive heard his name or seen him at all this game..

Bad team... We just aren't good.

- Smittyx36

It's not like his face was on the ice, it was a bit of a sucker punch but nothing worth an additional penalty...

No question he's been playing on 'the line' the whole game though. He needs to do that to be effective.

He plays when he wants to... Today he clearly doesn't want to

Lack of heart

- JVince11

Vaneks a pure goal scorer thats it.If hes not scoring hes totally worthless.I want guys who can play in both zones.Id rather have 3 or 4 20-25 goal scorers then one lazy 30 -40 goal scorer.

Bad team... We just aren't good.
- Smittyx36

Average talent that lacks any sort of confidence. That's a recipe for diaster.

It was a good fight, but I can't believe how dirty Neil is, holding people down and taking a cheap shot while the Ref's are holding down Regher, 3rd period he will just skate around and do what he wants because no one on the Sabres roster can do anything about it, he would smack the snot out of Myers even with Myers reach.

Lack of heart
- Pierceme69

Sit the top line and let the kids play the rest of the game.At least they make the effort.

That's what it looks like to me... We know a lot of these guys can play, they just aren't playing to their strengths, with any sort of confidence or structure... Right?
