wow, I don't know that's hard to say. Will Armia be ready ?
- SABRES 89

I doubt it. I'd love to see him down there for one more season playing on a line with Grigorenko and Reinhart. A guy like Reinhart should really get their offense through the roof. Armia isn't consistently dominating yet and either is Grigo but they're definitely trending up. Hope to see all three of them down there next season.

This team will still need a puck moving d man playing top minutes when it all shakes out. And I would not be surprised if Pysyk is playing with that d man, leaving Myers/Risto for the second pair.

I have never seen a team play a third period as lame as this team

the plan seems to be working

They're motivated!!!

We can't have this team play like this again next year, i'm not saying playoffs but it has to be better.

And the mentally challenged would believe this also.

That's right, Mr. Sunshine, it's such an internet hoax. We all know that a multi-billion dollar company can't compare to such goodwill that's posted by people alleging they donate on a hockey message board.

Oh I agree for sure. I'm not a Nolan hater, but I'm starting to believe he'll be fired at the end of the season. Much more often than not, a coaching change makes a team better. Just don't be Edmonton or Johnny Torts.

They need to compete on a nightly basis next season

Too bad it's so early and Edmonton is so bad...we can't even predict a "Magic Number" to rally around

If they don't, fire everyone. In no way can they keep going like this, they should start to turn the corner next year.

WOW 4-3 Dec.11th

I was kind of shocked when the flames radio team mentioned it last night

kind of

1) never said we SHOULD trade him, said I would package him for someone better
2) then don't respond to my posts if my opinion is forever tainted
3) my post to u wasn't condescending to u at all... It is however condescending for u to make remarks in response to another poster that are clearly directed at me

4) u completely avoided, like u usually do, my questioning about how Myers just doesn't compare to true "shutdown" defensemen in the league

That also is not condescending, slightly argumentative, but I'm just defending my point
It's not like I was attacking a post u made
U were the one that came at me, even if it was indirectly

There's no point in trading Myers right now. He's playing better, and I think the Sabres get more value out of services rendered than any return a team is willing to offer at this point.

You need multiple solid defensemen to be a championship team. However, if this team is ever to become one, someone is going to have to end up being "better" than Tyler Myers.

100% true

BUT not saying i want this but imagine Samson, McEichel matthews

There isn't any point in spending even a second analyzing what is going on this year. They were built to lose and the plan was to lose (I fully believer that is why Nolan was retained).

Can a team really play that bad because of the coach ?

Edit: That was a stupid comment (mine)

In theory this team should have been able to compete though, not meaning a top 8 seed

bringing in gorges, moulson and gionta

coho has amazed me by his lack of effort

That's fine, they can't do it next year. You can't keep this toxic environment going on.
