As I refreshed the page .. the first thing that stood out in your whole post was "Ren and Stimpy is not worth watching"
I would rather binge on that than any of the reality crap they force on this generation the past few years.

The only problem myself and a most of the Miller haters on here had with him is his high priced contract. 4m and I would be fine with him staying .Nothing more.

As far as Tim overpaying ? We won't know till the team jells and we see some players not working out. Too soon too judge.

I agree Jack would want to show he is similar to the hype Sid got the first year in the NHL . I really hope he comes through with it.

I know it's too soon to tell. But it's just sort of my thing on here. I am the outrageous guy that wants to fire Murray, so it's hard to post without mentioning it. Just sort of what I do :D

There is no way to know what would have happened if we kept Miller. You can argue we would not have Eichel and Reinhart if we kept Miller, or you could argue that Enroth and Neuvirth were just as good as or better than Miller would have been for us. But no one could possibly know so we shouldn't say these things and act as if it s proof of an argument.

Saying Miller would be a slight improvement over Lehner is the understatement of the year. You have to be a homer drinking the koolaid to say something like that. Lenhner hasn't proven anything in thus league yet. I have no idea what the numbers are, and I am too lazy to look, but I would bet that Miller has more shutouts than Lehner has career starts. Only way that makes sense is if you look at it in a longterm situation and not just this year.

Saying Miller had no backchecking forwards or dmen who could play a 2:1 is disrespectful to the many good players he did have. Hecht, Grier and Pommer, even Gaustad and Kaletta were all very good defensive forwards and very responsible in their own zone. Neuminen(sp?), Lydman, Tallinder(first tour), Regehr, Ehrhoff were all solid defensively. Doesn't seem fair to put down all those players and simply give Vanek as an example to make your point.

Ren and Stimpy is not worth watching.

Tim Murray ruined the rebuild by overpaying for all his trades and should be fired before he does more damage. I could see him trading away McCabe and two second round picks for some more bottom six forward prospects. Or next years first for a goalie.

Go Sabres!

Eichel should want to show up big tonight against Crosby. I am expecting a big game from him.

Lehner has 87 career starts, Miller has 36 career shutouts.

Well that was quick.

Well that was quick.

Zatkoff should be 1st star of the week after this game.

Yea... Johnson is just not good

Well that was quick.
- sippyd

That was all on Johnson.

No problem. Everyone has an opinion and all are welcome.

Quick plays for some other team Sip.

Kane/Bogo and Lehner I agree.

Ryan O'Reilly I think has been excellent and will be a fixture on this team for years.

I honestly think people severely over rate Evander Kane. He has never been someone with a great scoring touch, or a good playmaker. He's a 2nd line power forward who is fun to watch play, but struggles with injuries.
- sbroads24

You're only overrating when you set un realistic expectations. I don't believe for a second that they overpayed for kane because of his scoring touch. It's the way he plays, particularly 5 on 5, that gets GM's like murray interested.

Seems like every game, they spot them one goal to start.

I love the way he plays . If we had 6 of him on the team we would be unbeatable . If a few of the 6 were able to score more.

Lehner has 87 career starts, Miller has 36 career shutouts.
- MattFreaknEllis

Ok. That is 87 games played. If you add his wins and losses and ot losses you'll see it adds to 79 decisions and even that number is skewed because you can still earn a win or loss when coming off the bench in relief. But still, the number is higher than millers shutouts. So I will eat my crow on that one and blame it on Miller sucking and not getting a lot more shutouts. )

If that's the case then they still need to find a few natural goal scorers.

I like Kane as a player. I think he's a very good top 6 player. But he isn't very creative.

I hope they calm down and make this a game and not a circus.

dumb asses.

dumb asses.
- TheSabresTaco

Agreed

So 6-2 Pittsburg???

Wtf was franson even looking at? He would have been better off pinning it in the corner

Ugh, this is a slight let down for me.

I expected better play even with Kane and Ennis out.

Johnson is well , i've seen better.

Sigh.

Totally forgot Pittsburgh had Kessel.

No need to go easy on him, he is terrible. He might have some of the worst rebound control i have ever seen.

Yea..yikes.

We just need to score next and preferably before the end of the period and then I think this team will settle down.

But that still doesn't help the shakiness that exists in between the pipes for the Sabres.

Every time the Pens shoot I am expecting a goal.

And that feeling sucks!

It just seems like they give up a goal or two at the very start of almost every game.

He is what we have . Hope he fixes that. He moves pretty decent , just hope he moves to the right spot at the right time .

Still a build year.

Needed that one.

Right back in it.

We have ourselves a hockey game ladies and gentlemen.
