True but he still took the team to the Superbowl this year. If Lindy was churning out championship appearances I don't think we'd be complaining about Vanek's slump as much.

Very true. But he has the organization in a position to take those chances and when they don't pan out, they are no worse for the wear.

Was it just me or was that weasel Pierre McGuire driving everyone else nuts as well...shut the heck up already.

Why does it seem like the Sabres have more enigmatic talent that goes through prolonged slumps because we think they are "head cases" than most teams in the league?

Roy, Vanek, Stafford, Leino, and Miller at times

The responsibility of a coach is to put his players in the best position to succeed on the ice. How many times has Bill Belichick taken over the hill cast-offs from other NFL teams that appeared done and found a niche for them to succeed on his team.

I've always supported Lindy, but I'm starting to think he doesn't have the best pulse of the players on his team, put them in the best position to succeed, or instill the confidence in them that is necessary to be successful.

Lindy should be gone and should have been gone a long time ago.. but darcy is his buddy and Terry thinks he is hot crap on a silver platter. So just accept him as our coach for the foreseeable future and deal with it

Is it him or is it the Organization as a whole that has them in that position?


I think its a good mixture of both.


Something both of our sports franchises could learn from.

Easily could have been 7-1 Jets....

Your Jets had 4 days off while on an 8 game home stand in your AHL arena there.

The Sabres were on fumes on a 4 games in 6 nights west coast trip which is harder than the west coast coming back east.

The Sabres could not match the fresh legs of the jets or their energy due to the schedule maker gift wrapping this one for your jets in all honesty.

1-1 after 20 minutes with all the bonus's laid at the jets feet in this game and that was all they could muster was a 3-1 win against a team on fumes and yet you want to brag about it.

The Sabres beat the best 3 teams on this west coast trip and exhausted themselves in doing so running out of gas in their 4th game in 6 nights.

Sabres still have 16 games to make up a lousy 4 points.

Settle down , still lots of hockey left.

Is it him or is it the Organization as a whole that has them in that position?

It is a good mixture. Belichick has been the constant though in all of it.

I know, nobody gives a sh*t when you do it for every player. If you want to say it about a young guy nobody knows about fine, but I don't need to know where established NHL players played their junior hockey every time they are on a national broadcast.

"X player" is a fine young man, with big body presence and an active stick. He's real special when he gets time and space.

It's almost as if he made a Rolodex of his own "Macguire-isms" that he keeps on a wrist band like a quarterback. Then throughout the game he just inserts player names of the teams involved and bam! it's classic Pierre Macguire hockey.

On his other wrist is a another cheat sheet with every player on the ice, who their parents are, where they grew up, what junior teams they played with, and how many degrees they are separated from Kevin Bacon.

I bet the one situation you would find bounties in hockey are if the players get a pool together on who can fire a puck in between the benches first.

If #Bills are interested in vincent jackson, report in SD says he's looking for 10-12 mill a year for 5 years

I know the Bills need a guy like that, but that is not worth the cost. Make a run at Mario Williams.
