I see sooooooooo many Mike Wilson's wearing Sabres jerseys right now.........it's time to sit Vanek, Afinogenov for a game or two..........maybe even Roy........send Paille back to Rochester and bring up McArthur..........make a deal for some veteran gritty physical forward or D man NOW

Re: Has Mike Wilson resurfaced?
To Afinogenov's credit, he is so talented that every time he carries the puck into the zone he is expected to make an amazing play. While it may seem like he sometimes does stupid stuff with the puck, it's just a different style of play. Drury generally dumps the puck in rather than stickhandling it in, which creates just as many turnovers as trying to carry it in, but he doesn't get a bad rap. And I'm not saying that he should, just using him as an example of a contrast to afinogenov's style.N.C. STATE WOLFPACK

Re: Has Mike Wilson resurfaced?
Wilson "carried a purse and wore a skirt"...for a player of his size he was softer than yogurt. I don't see that out of this crew. I see a team that is not playing well right now, not skating 100%, not making the extra check and quite frankly not getting the bounces. Those first 2 NJ goals last night could very well have not been goals. Changes the whole game.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

Re: Has Mike Wilson resurfaced?
I see a team skating hard for 40 minutes and looking dead for the last 20. I don't think the blame falls on any one or two players. If you ask me, I would say this is another mid-season lull just like the one last year. That 3 goal lead against Jersey was one they should hae held on to, but games like that happen. As long as they can skate hard for 60 minutes come May, I can live with this.

Originally posted by clumping plateletsI see a team that is not working hard, not hitting anyone, and afraid to get hit. I see lazy plays being made by so-called supastars and no accountability. Send a message........sit Vanek or Afinegenov for a game
To accomplish what? Your going to sit two of your biggest offensive weapons and put even more pressure on a team that doesnt want to hit to play D? Makes no sense to me. Downgrade their ice time or the take them off the PP, but outright benching wont do any good imo.COMING SOON...

Originally posted by LOSman WINSgo back to doing your Bills stuff and leave the Sabres alone because you have no idea what you're talking about! Vanek has 25 G 26 A = 51 points and a +/- rating of 25 that's leading the team, Afinogenov has 21 G 34 A = 15 points and a +/- record of 15, and Roy has 9 G 26 A = 35 points and a +/- rating of 19 you can't bench them with stats like that! and Paille, I like how he is playing, he's playing like he doesn't want to go back to Rochester. McArthur isn't ready yet for the NHL let him grow up a little in Rochester and next year he'll be up with the Sabres and for the millionth time this team does not need to make a trade it's fine the way it is!

Max puts that pressure on himself because he wants to be up there with Gretzky, Lemiuex(how ever you spell name, I'm not Canadien) and Bure. You make it sound like Max is the only scoring threat on this team. But having 5 20 goals scorers say other wise. Max needs to stop looking out for Max and start looking out for the Buffalo Sabres especially when he wants to skate around the whole offensive zone with the puck instead of setting up his teammates with his speed. He wants to see himself on SportsCenter.

You have no basis for making a personal assumption like this about someone that you don't know. I'm not saying that he is expected or needed by his team to make an amazing play, I mean that most fans expect it. And as for him not setting up his teammates, I think that his 85 assists over the last season and a half speaks for itself. Besides, what do you think he's trying to do by skating all around the offensive zone, find the best angle for a shot? He's trying to create lanes and openings so that the puck can be moved around.N.C. STATE WOLFPACK
