GARTH: The Blessing and The Curse

Same show, different theater.

Put 25 between 82 and 21, and drop 63 down with 42 and 9. Or move 9 up with 63 and 21, and drop 82 down with 25 and 42.

Do something.

Oh. And trade 57 before it's too late.

Where is Myers when Ott is getting his brains bashed in by all 5 Carolina players at once? He's out doing his usual "drive-by". And I don't want to hear any crap about the faceoff being brought back down into the Sabres' zone if our defense skates in below the Carolina face-off circles to engage their players. Myers should not have thought twice about it, and should have come in to assist his new teammate (That new teammate I'm referring to would have done it!!!).

Where is Myers after Gerbe is face-planted into the boards from behind? He's tapping the Hurricane player on the shin pads, as if to say "Please don't do that, pretty please with sugar on top".

Pu$$y.

Everyone thought he was the second coming of Zdeno Chara, but he's looking more and more like a Mike Wilson clone everyday. This is year 3 of his downward spiral. Kid better wake up.

I think Grigo is playing fine, obviously he is hesitant with the puck but I think he is improving steadily. I'm in no way comparing him to Stamkos but here are his stats his rookie year, remember it took him 7 games to record his first point (an assist against the leafs):

-1, 1 shot, 8:25
E, 1 shot, 14:53
E, 0 shot, 6:05
E, 1 shot, 9:22
E, 4 shot, 13:56
E, 4 shot, 11:30
-2, 3 shot, 13:57

And also I thought he looked pretty good on the PP for not even practicing with them that morning.

Ageed. Although, I think he looks tentative. As if he doesn't want to make a mistake for fear of being sent back. If I were Ruff - and I would like to think he's said it already - I'd tell him, "You're staying. Now, go out and play your game, because we need offense".

Same as it ever was

Hey Im your good friend and teammate

Ohh you just got punched in the face


ooops gotta go, exit stage left

Same ol Sabres

Good line.

Where is Jerry Korab when you need him?

Can anyone tell me why Myers is still in the lineup and Paul Coffey... I mean Mike Weber is in the press box?

Back in the Day Schoney and Korab would have made a B Line and there would be trouble, even the broad street bullies knew

Cashman found out also

again, new players, timid play

again, how long is Ott gonna wanna play with these

Was I the only one who noticed Gerbe looked very lost on the ice? Especially in our zone, it looked like he was confused what was going on and who had the puck.

You are right on the money with both things you posted this morning.

I know it is easy to blame the coach, but the team continues to play a hesitant style of play, and that has been the case for Lindy Ruff coached teams the past few years.

Stafford for all the smack I gave him over the years

Meyers should have clicked over to full auto and started whaling

ya it was, forget you lil guy we aint got your back

That was one of the worst games of Meyers career. He actually looked disinterested at times. Turned the puck over 7 times. Lost one on one battles and decided to join the rush at all the wrong times. I don't understand what is happening to this kid. I don't want him traded, but I don't see how brennen or Weber would hurt us for a night. Sit him down early this year. Dont wait half the season to wake him up.

Have you ever seen Myers in person. He is 6-15 about 170 pounds. That dude shouldn't be fighting. One good shot and he might snap like a pencil. Just saying, some guys are not meant to fight.

What's more scary is that I think that's what you're going to get from Enroth for the most part. He hasn't won a game since 2011!!!

Other than one stretch he hasn't been able to win.

Please don't say that to people around here. Myers should be winning games by himself. he should have fought all of the 5 guys around Ott and then scored a goal on the upcoming faceoff.

Got it....Funny nobody ever wants Tyler ennis to fight, yet if you saw the 2 of them together with no pads or skates on, they probably weigh about the same. Well maybe not, but Myeres is REAL skinny, like supermodel skinny

its not fighting, just jump on the dude takem down, or grab a hold
just show the hell up everybody else will jump in

He does not have to drop the gloves and take fighting position
He is gaining some wieght, dont think he is that skinny

But your bro just got cheap shotted in the place where he just got repaired
And thats what we get, pencil neck response, books knoocked outta our hands in the hallway at high school, sand kicked in our face on the beach

Maybe Myers is afraid someone will decide to hit him he goes near the scrum. I am not defending his cowardess, but I don't expect anything else from him at this point.

I have watched him play for 3+ years and that is not his game. When he is on his game he is a puck moving defenseman with good stick work and an awsome stride. HE is never some physical presence. He is uncomfortable with the part of his game.

One more point. I dont want John Scott on this team, but some people do. If he is on the team, why doesnt he go out the next shift and beat the ever living hell out of the other guys. That is what he is getting paid to do. According to the Scott fans, his mere presence makes us tougher. I don't see it.

Your kings thingie confuses me.

That said, I agree. Scott should suit up for Boston (Thornton) and Toronto (Orr). Other than that, he's wasting oxygen in the arena.
