Buying an NHL team is not good for anyones bottom line unless you get one of 10 teams that consistently make a profit

But why not get the best now so he can start the rebuild correctly?

I agree, its not my call, but when I put up a paypal site for help with the Billboard in February I hope you'll do what you can

No coach will do well with the Buffalo Fourth Line Sabres.

Needs to be GM first.

I only watched the last half of the game yesterday, but I barely saw Girgo or Larsson. wtf? Like double-shifting Ennis is going to charge up our offense? Play Ziggy till he pukes.

Grigorenko should be out there, too...we are not rewarding "effort" but results (DR or Ted Black said that) and if results are goals then #25 has the same results as Staff, Ennis, Ott, Kaleta, Porter, Larsson, etc....only difference is Grigorenko has not hit his potential yet.

Maybe, maybe not. Criticize his decision making all you want but I dont see how anyone can say hes in it for the money.

I think there's a fine line. I mean he's no Melnyk but at the same time I don't think he really wants to pour money into a pit of fire so to speak.

The only thing I hit at age 19 was the bars. Safe to say he's got some left, unlike Ennis/Stafford.

Ah but I could say this.. I was a college athlete in baseball and can say that I was better at 16-18 then I was 19-20. May be a matter of he peaked early and now everyone has caught up to him.


edit: well maybe you should duck your head then

See, we have an excuse to suck. We have no talent unlike the Caps and the Flyers. Going into the season with nothing to lose and everything to gain actually kinda feels nice.

Losing the games doesn't bother me one bit. I will still watch to see what we got. And see how they are progressing. If at all.

I finally rounded that corner too. Once I saw that goal go in against Ottawa it all changed. You just cant get pissed anymore.

I was at the game yesterday and sitting next to the benches you could tell how pissed vanek was after every shift. everyone else didnt seem to care like he does. mccormick got pissed once, ott looked so bummed.

Meanwhile on CBJ's side they were so amped up and energetic.

As everyone's parents has once said to them, we can say the same to the Sabres now...I am not mad at you, just disappointed...

Vanek is always pusses though. He's such a competitor.

Seriously though, the roster is a mess. I feel bad for the vets. They have no support. It's not designed to win. Tough situation.
