All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

All we hear at the start of the season in a stretch were Miller was off his game. "He isn't worth the money", "He isn't a top 5 goalie", blah blah blah...
Now those people a fretting because our "average" goalie is out for a bit.

Its because most fans are sheep. They hear someone else calling Miller Mr. Softie and now he is Mr. Softie to them as well. Little do these dicks realize that Miller is having a phenominal season. You hear it constantly if you are out watching the game at a sports bar.
Nighthawk - 12-06-08 - 8:59 pm - "Folks, Ruff was right...Miller needs to keep his head in the game more often because he constantly gives up goals right after the Sabres score. He is a BIG reason why this team does not win many close games."
Nighthawk - 12-06-08 - 9:04 pm - "Miller is brutal!"
Hydrosmack - 11-04-08 - 6:52 - "If Ryan Miller keeps playing at the current level you might be getting hosed." A post after S11 talked about trading Miller in fantasy hockey.
After Miller received extension FunTimesYaY! - 7-18-2008 - 11:10 am - "Oh, I can't wait to see they gave an average NHL tender 6 mill a year!
In 2013, yeah it's great...problem is by then if he's staying here the Sabres will be busy giving him an extension.
He's not better than Fleury, in fact, I would say they're equal and Fleury didn't get 6."
More from FunTimes - "Miller and Kiprusoff both have identical middle of the pack numbers at the goaltender position.
Miller's GAA ranked 24th, SV % ranked 29th, SOs 20th...
So how does this put Miller into the status of being paid as a top 5 goalie in the game?
They sadly overpaid for him and as a result will drive up the market for goalies that in fact are better than him....the same thing the team *****ed about when Edmonton gave Vanek an offer sheet."
"Every year middle of the pack average goalies become available either via trade or FA. All guys that could put up the very same stats as Miller at a much cheaper price. Develop the talent on the farm and maybe they're good enough to take over in a few years.
Hell, both Ty Conklin and Marty Brodeur outperformed Miller last year. Two guys most Buffalo fans didn't like and were glad to see let go. I'd take either one over Miller, in a heartbeat. For two reasons, one their play on the ice would be very similiar and two both are cheaper.
Huet was available this offseason, he's better than Miller."
Nothing regarding Miller being hurt from FTY since.

Ok, so you jackasses can go back and get posts regarding a certain game and then just apply it to his entire season? How ignorant are some of you...I'm being serious? My quotes were about certain games and guess what...I'm sure I wasn't the only person who stated he was bad during that game...Hell, even Lindy stated it!
i openly admit i hated Miller and his play, and will be the first to say i was saying he was over paid and is too emotional in goal
feel free to grab my quotes
but on this sorry sabres team he was the lone bright spot for us and has carried us like an elite goaltender should be
i hate to be wrong but i will put my foot in my mouth and say i was the biggest miller hater on here
we need to make moves and if miller is out for the rest of the season
we should be sellers at the trade deadline
get rid of
hecht
max
kotalick
paille
connoly
tallinder
lydman
spacek
teppo
gerbe
all can be replaced
i know i know gerbe is everyone's buddy he is too small and i just dont see the speed everyone is talking about
we need to add talent and stop overpaying for inhouse crap

There is only one jackass who went back. Singular, not plural.
Two games lost doesn't constitute a slump by any means. Tampa was playing hard and looked better than I have seen them in awhile. No excuses for Buffalo, they need o get their asses in gear but it is waaay too early to panick. That being said, there is nothing special about this team. Other than Vanick nobody stands out in this team. We will probably make the POs but I doubt we have the talent or will to go all the way. Miller is waaay overrated. He lets too many soft ones in. This team seems too comfortable with its moderate success and maybe at some point we need to look at Lindy for allowing that to happen
I know you guys aren't really being mean spirited... at least I think not, but could we please refrain from calling each other jackasses. I don't fell like doing real Mod work. Thanks.

FTY had a ton to say about the Sabres during the off-season but hasn't been around much during the season, then again, most Penguin fans take off once real hockey starts being played.
I thought about this the minute his injury happened. All the idiots who rip Miller will now be crying that he is hurt. What a way to be two faced.
My bad, I didn't see this thread during the season!
I don't really have good things to say about the Sabres in general so I tend to mostly stay out of the forum during the season.
I don't need to go back and pick and choose anything about Miller.
He's an average goalie, nothing more - nothing less, been my stance ever since he's been here....will never change.
I don't change my opinion as I see fit to make my argument or point.
The Sabres weren't a playoff team this year even if Miller never got hurt.
If people would like though, I will post more in this forum during the actual season, but I'm willing to bet no one will be too happy of what I have to say.
BTW keeping the front office/coaching intact is also a HUGE mistake...Mski and I talk hockey on occasion because he's one of my buddies, he'll back up what I was saying from the start of this year that if it was another season without playoff hockey it was time to make a change from the top on down.
