look at how well he played after a lengthy benching, he was on fire when he came back

second star for that week in the nhl

vanek, staff, miller and sekera are the 4 sabres that frustrates me the most
- homiedclown

couldn't agree more..

I have news for you, the whole band never got along. The movid from 1978 kiss meets the phantom, that's not even Peter Criss's voice in the movie and that's not his voice in family guy either. Psyhco Circus there reunion album is not even him playing on it, and that's probably the 3rd album he's never played on but his picture is on the album.
- SABRES 89

yeah, rare that famous bands get along

I think that is why those type bands should hit it hard for 6 months, then take a long break
instead they keep touring and fighting and it gets out of control

I have that as well

he wants a Herschal Walker sized ransom for him.

Seems like it's bigger then that, isn't it.

Not that I am saying that the band I am about to mention is on the same level once so ever...

but look at what has happened to Slipknot.. they break up.. Someone dies.. 2 people leave the band.. then they tour again in Europe.. then 3 of them start Stone Sour back up for a few years.. and now they are on tour again...

Assuming Miller is ok, the one piece I see this team needing is an elite goal scorer for the pp

ryan fits that mold
nash as well
semin as well

I would like to upgrade one of the d men, but at the end of the day
the pk unit is fine
there is enough scoring for 5 on 5
we have much more legit depth that can be called up now

it comes down to what player can we bring in to improve our pp

odds are the sabres are not going after ryan or semin and nash does not want to come here.
Latest rumor on nash yesterday was that the demand is 2 nhl ready players up front, 2 blue chip prospects and a first rd pick
- homiedclown

good points homie. i think the pp will be fine if healthy and set roles. last year was tough bc players were injured all the time and everyone had to keep moving.

top unit i see: vanek-hodg-pommer-ehrhoff-myers. pommer really needs to be on the half wall or down low making passes and cycling the puck.
2nd unit: ott-ennis-stafford-leopold-sekera

where i want to see an upgrade is in the 3/4 dman pairing. id move leopold and bring in a stronger player to play in the #3 spot with regher. (ehrhoff and myers as the top pair).

i agree that 5 on 5 scoring will be fine and pk is fine (esp with addition of ott). if miller bounces back to form like the 2nd half of last year and the d is improved i think this team will be fine.

you will never see KISS in the rock and roll hall of shame.

They'll eventually get in there but, does it matter? The RNR HOF is kind of a joke, isn't it?

What 2 left? I know the bass player died a few years ago but who left?

I know it didn't work out in real life.... but I really like Myers-Regehr paired together...

Regehr is the stay at home dman that would allow Myers to roam and join the rush like Tallinder did for him...

why didn't they ever work out?

Ehrhoff - Sulzer will be paired most likely... Sulzer was a very solid player but only when paired with Ehrhoff.

Big time joke and I don't think they will get in. Rush, Deep Purple not in as well.

yea the Paul Grey died at a hotel not even 500 yards from where I work every day...

I want to say Joey Jordison and Jim Root left when Corey Taylor left.. and then all 3 of them were in Stone Sour?? I am not sure about Jordison.. I know that Root followed Taylor...

Last I heard Jordison was with Rob Zombie but didn't think he was in Stone Sour.

Did he really go there???

I must have missed that in the blog. Probably because I skim through his blogs now because most of them are pointless.

Scott Stevens is my all-time favorite defenseman, and in no way, shape or form should Garth be comparing anybody, ANYBODY to him.

I guess Reggie Sekera is the next Paul Coffey, then?
- Powerslave

He certainly isn't the next Tim Horton...

We could have still got Ryan but Darcy will not give up Ennis and that's the starting point. The hell with Stastny i'd rather have Getzlaf, Thornton or Marleau.
- SABRES 89

Marleau would be just as bad as Stastny.

Id much rather go with what we have then give up a crap load for any of them outside of Getzlaf

I just found it... Jordison filled in on a tour for Stone Sour once because the birth of a child of one of the actual members...

I'm going to see Slipknot for the 3rd time on Aug 17th...

Deftones, Lamb of God, Dethklok, Cannibal Corpse, Serj Tankian, The Urge, Prong, Gojira, The Dillinger Esc Plan... "and more"

Marleau would be just as bad as Stastny.

I disagree about Marleau but that's just me, Getzlaf would cost a lot but I would consider it.

agreed... I think how much we would have to give up for an aging 1C who granted would be better than what we have.. but the amount of pieces we have to give up to acquire would offset the deal...

If we could get Stastny without giving up any major names.. I wouldn't mind it... it would be a 2 year stop gap until we know that Ennis/Hodge, Grigs, and Girgs were ready to go...
