Campbell Sucks!

[mchurchfie]

He never was the best defensive player but he has made up for it in the past with his puckhandling and skating. MR ALL-Star has had his head up his ass since the break though. He has been turning the puck over regularly and has been a moron with his puckhandling decisions. He is also getting his ass handed to him in his own end on a more than usual regular basis too. He is easily our worst defensive player right now. Soupy needs to up his game soon:down:

[chernobylwraiths]

You haven't watched Kalinin much lately have you.

[SpillerThrills]

or Nate P...... horrible.

[Carlton Bailey]

Are you serious? Campbell wasn't good last night, but he's been a beast since the Ottawa fight game. I love Soupy.

[JD]

Numminen and Kalinin have been playing worse than Soupy.

[Carlton Bailey]

Campbell's not exactly Scott Niedermayer just yet, but he's still a hell of a puck-moving defenseman.

[SabreEleven]

He only moves the puck and plays well when OP watches the game.

[mchurchfie]

You haven't watched Kalinin much lately have you.
Kalinin has been outplaying him as of late, and that's pretty bad when he outplays you.

[mchurchfie]

[THATHURMANATOR]

You guys are great. Is there anyone on our Eastern conference leading team that you do like? WTF! :puke:

[Carlton Bailey]

Not really. When Kalinin's on, he's very good. Unfortunately, he's inconsistent, and Saturday was a bad night for him. Then again, who on the Sabres didn't have a bad game Saturday?

I listened to the whiner line on WGR this morning and was amazed. Well, not really. The Sabres are tied for most points in the league yet all anyone can do is ***** and moan about something. I swear, nobody will be satisfied unless the Sabres go 82-0 during a season.

You DO realize that only people who feel the need to whine about something call that line right? And they screen it for good whines. (Op would be a staple on that line) If all they had on were people who praised the team for being in first, they would call it the "homer" line and nobody would listen.

Yeah I know. I just found it irritating that so many people in Buffalo were finding something to whine about.

[Earthquake Enyart]

I'm just happy to see Spacek back. :phew:

[mchurchfie]

Then again, who on the Sabres didn't have a bad game Saturday?I didn't see the Saturday game just the Friday but I know Kalinin outplayed him pretty badly on Friday. I do agree with you about Kalinin. When he's good he is very good and when he's bad he is absolutely brutal.

[mchurchfie]

I'm just happy to see Spacek back. :phew:Lindy must have called him out because he has been earning that high paycheck since he came back.

[Earthquake Enyart]

Lindy must have called him out because he has been earning that high paycheck since he came back.
Well, he can't be in the world's greatest shape. He probably has over 18% body fat on him.

He'll be fine by the playoffs.

[mchurchfie]

I think he is playing better than before he got hurt, even being out of shape a little. I think the layoff did him good, he was really starting to become a non-factor before his injury.

[Earthquake Enyart]

the guy I'm getting nervous about is Nuumennin. He's starting to show his age.

[mchurchfie]

Agreed. When Ludman gets back we'll have an extra defensiveman, they should shelve him a little and let him rest for the stretchrun.

[Earthquake Enyart]

Tallinder looks rusty too.

Hopefully this all shakes out soon.

[SabreEleven]

You guys are great. Is there anyone on our Eastern conference leading team that you do like? WTF! :puke:

Thurm, I think people are finding faults with this team (including myself) because we, as Buffalo fans, are afraid to put our hearts 100 percent into this team (or any team from Buffalo) because we are protecting ourselves from the heart break that we KNOW is coming.

Just because we win the division, conference, or league during the regular season doesn't guarentee any happiness for any Buffalo fan. The Bills have proved that.

[mchurchfie]

This team has been coasting a lot this year and has been winning alot of games that they probably shouldn't have. They have very rarely played a full three periods of inspired hockey yet this year. They need to get rid of those bad habits and get ready for crunchtime when the PO's get here or they will find themselves sitting home by the end of the first round. There is plenty of cause for concern with this team. I don't give a **** if they are leading the league in points, they are not playing very sound hockey right now.

[Earthquake Enyart]

They looked lousy Saturday.

People, this is a team that can win THE FREAKING STANLEY CUP. We need to be hitting on all cylinders.

[mchurchfie]

They looked awful on Friday too, they had no right winning that one.

The Leafs caved in like a house of cards. I don't think they have the guts to make the playoffs.

I hope they do so we can play them in the first round.:naughty:

As long as they are hitting on all cylinders in the playoffs, I don't much care. They are starting to get healthy. Let's not all jump ship before the playoffs even start.

No one is jumping ship for god sakes! But if you think that these guys can just flick on a switch at playoff time and instantly start playing better then you are ****ing dreaming. They need to start showing a little resolve now, not in game seven of the first round when they get knocked out by the Islanders or some other inferior team.

Hey did you watch the Sabres last year at all? What about near the end of the season? We lost what, 6 games in a row? Then we pushed through the playoffs destoryed by injuries, still pushing an ECF Series to Seven games.

We'll be fine.

Yes I watched the Sabres last year, thank you. Do you think that you can get away with playing that way all of the time? It is kind of a dangerous way to live, don't you think?

[Earthquake Enyart]

The thing to remember is that a few of these guys (Spacek, Tallinder, even Kalinen) are still getting back into shape from injuries. The Sabres system demands a lot more skating from their defensemen than most teams.

I also think they'll be fine. :pray:

Do you think we suck all of a sudden? They just arnt trying right now. I think the playoffs will be a wakeup call for this team and we'll be golden. Obviously its a dangerous way to live, but so is having defensemen pinching in almost every offensive attack.. but we've been doing it for a while now.

[mchurchfie]

Do you think we suck all of a sudden? NO they were suberb last weekend.;) Just Campbell, read the title of this thread.:rolleyes:

Superb? Aside from Miller and Conks, we played like garbage.

[Typ0]

I'm not even worried. This team can turn it on. They are getting healthy. They are not playing well but they are winning games. We're on our way to the finals.
