Do you live near a farm? You could have your choice of cow, chiecken, pig or horse poop.

Pigs eat people....highest chance of cannibalism for Gerbs....unless he's into that

About this time tomorrow , Yes. And Gerbe will be eating a poop samich. Might have Wegmans make it for him .

it's the system they are playing.... there are enough goal scores on this team. at some point he has to take the leash off the dog and let it run.

The injuries are the biggest problem.

Agreed . Price is a good example . more so being the goalie

This is awesome though. The season we wanted to watch starts tomorrow

Give him a few games to get his timing and get into game shape...

Get Mike Williams from Clemson. He is insane good.

Last guy we had named Mike Williams didn't go over so well...

The ultimate example.

I am trying really hard to remember a Pro sports team that relies so heavily on one guy. Maybe the Cavaliers? Even Gretzky, Jordan, Manning or Lemieux never carried a team the way Price does.

Well good call then on Girgensons. As far as Moulson, as stated we had to overpay to get the guy (remember we had just traded him for (2) second round picks). The first couple years were pretty bad with him, but he is coming back around. As for the goalie, he did win the AHL championship and sure he was not proven in the NHL, otherwise you would have paid a lot more (how proven was the player drafted with that pick in the NHL?). Also, remember that trading Miller (and Ott) almost netted (2) 1st round picks and Carrier, Chris Stewart, and Halak. Would you want to pay that for a "proven" goalie? The only reason it was not (2) 1st round picks was because he did not resign there, so they traded that (minus 1 first rounder) for like 4 months of Miller's services.

The conditional 1st was if they made the conference finals that year, they didn't so it dropped. But yeah they were willing to give up a solid goalie in Halak, their new 2nd round pick in Carrier and 2 1st round picks for Miller, a goalie who proved he could make the conference finals with an insanely talented team, but other than that it was first round exits for him. Ott and Stewart were a wash.

I think right now, they are stuck with him


3 qb's in pipeline, all 3 are running qb's

our wr's are small, which is why I would like them to sign britt and aiken

if you fix the o line, then it could be ok
russel wilson was a run first qb when he won the super bowl


move away from the smurfs, harvin and goodwin, and get some size


draft nothing but db's and o linemen at draft
- homiedclown

Britt would fit right in with the rest of the Deplorables on the team, how many suspensions has he had? I actually think he could do well here relatively speaking of course.

The Bills offense is outscoring the 93, 94 and 95 Bills. They need a defense that can stop people and get turnovers. That all went out the when Rex came in.
- Buffalo--Sabres

Yeah, but the offense is boom or bust, they make their hay on big plays, and if your defense is out there for 35, 36, 40 minutes a game it's really tough to win. The games the Bills win are the ones they control the ball. They got lucky yesterday having the ball for only 26:25.

Don't get me wrong big plays are great, but McCoy had 103 yards yesterday with 75 coming on one play your leading rusher shouldn't have only 28 yards minus one big play.

The defense is also ranked 10th in yards, that's pretty good.

- Wetbandit1

The conditions were if they resigned him or made conference finals. But yea, semantics. Still a lot to give up, compared to what we gave up. As it would be, was that pick from Miller trade used on Lehner or Kane?

and every Clemson person we draft is always injured

No more Clemson lol

Hasek carried his Sabres teams like no other, IMO. That '99 team had no business being two games away from a Cup. Nice role players with character, but Hasek was damn-near unbeatable in his prime. Only way you could beat him was on a deflection or an outright screen where he had no clue where the puck was.

From Tanner's new blog:

1. a player can go 13 games without a goal (Auston Matthews) and not be in a slump because he still gets an elite level of shots and scoring chances

2. most of the Hockey World doesn't realize the Panthers success last season was partially, if not mostly, because of favorable results

This just gets back to the same business I have never understood. Points in the standings come from wins and ties - winning and ties require GOALS to be scored, not just shots to be taken.

Also, someone please define "favorable results" doesn't that mean they won games? If so, do we need math to analyze the second statement?
- Der Kaiser

My first thought was WTF does that mean? My second was it's gibberish. My third is I'm pretty sure Tanner picked the Panthers to win the East this year.

- Wetbandit1

It means that the Panthers were slightly over rated last season. They had a bunch of players shoot incredibly high shooting %. They were bound to drop. It's just a poorly worded sentence by Tanner.

Very true in Hasek. He stole every round for us. We had no scoring, a middle of the road D and no back up. It was a fun cup to watch until the refs got tired and let a clear crease violation go

- lulags

The Sabres scored 1 goal in the last 160 plus minutes of play in that series. That's why they lost. No Goal, while infuriating, was only a secondary reason they lost that series at most.

If Jack comes back...and we still can't score more than 1.81 goals per game.....GMTM fires Disco or he gets the Ax himself

21 games played and only 38 goals....HOW THE (frank) DOES HE STILL HAVE A JOB?!?!

EDIT: and don't give me that "o but the injuries.." bullpoop.....Moulson, Ennis, Reinhart, Risto, Okposo....they all know how to score but they magically can't do that playing in Disco Dan's "system"...w/e the (frank) that is....all we've seen is our young talent either stagnate or regress....

but lets give him a pass...cuz he won a cup....with Crosby, Malkin, MAF, and Letang

EDIT EDIT: I've said it before and I'll say it again.....Ted Nolan would have more wins with this team.....that's how clueless Bylsma has been
