Yep. You guys have a nice stretch of what should be easy games though the panthers arent slouches.

Why has this Sabres thread become a Rags/Isles piss-fest?

Doesn't Dee Karl need hits or something?

Stars are explosive too. After that though we go on a western road trip where we play ducks, kings, and sharks and then return back east to play you guys, the bruins, penguins, and then you guys again all before the end of january.

I would like 2 tix for tonights game. Stubhub sold the pair from under me. Want to spend 40-50 bucks a seat for the pair. Any leads? Should I use scalpers?

Halak. Or even a defender long term.

Sabres are starting to see how much they are missing Myers and it's only 3 games without him.

- sbroads24

It is amazing how people react to a couple of games.
What about when Myers was playing and they gave up six goals a game for three consecutive games?

I think he's implying that myers' absence on the blueline doesn't have the effect you mentioned previously.

This.

It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to know that the D is better with Myers, but it's not like our Cup dreams are dashed without him.

And after watching Eichel yesterday...

Myers plays the most minutes, most PK time, has the most points of any defensemen

Plays the toughest competition, an unreal 36% offensive zone start %


Yea, we won't miss someone that can handle that at all

You did it now.

Broads is a Myers junkie, and stats/proof/rebuttals are coming in 3, 2...crap. Too late.

No it does. We have been much worse in our end regardless of it only being 3 games or 1.

Can he though if youre giving up 6 goals? I believe that was the point.

It might take a rocket surgeon, considering he's denying we are any worse without him

His goals against per 60 minutes played are second best on the blue line.

Just because he does all that doesnt mean he can handle it. See: amac and the isles

I was not denying anything.
Buffalo needs Myers but stop the hysterics about how it so clear we miss him after three games.
If we had won the three games, would we not miss him?

It's pretty funny how I get called this blind Myers lover when the whole point was less about Myers and more about not having two 19 year olds with limited experience getting exposed on this team.

Does that even matter? It's not like you guys are playing for anything this year.

No, you're not a blind Myers lover. However, you can't ever seem to accept any criticism about the guy.

He's not Ray Bourque.

And neither are Risto or Zads (in case that was coming back my way)

If I could understand what you just said, I might comment on it.
I have no idea if you are a Myers lover or not and don't care.
My point, which you asked me to clarify, is that there are highs and lows in a series of games and you can't get overly excited or terribly depressed over three games about any one player.
Season's greetings.

Read more, post less.

My comment was we miss Myers, the post I made after that said regardless of if you think Myers is good, or just ok you can't have two 19 year olds lead this blue line. They aren't ready, it could kill the confidence they currently have.

Sure, we aren't playing for anything, but I want to see 55 and 51 progress, not be forced into roles they aren't ready for
