WGR Statement on Sabres

[SabreEleven]

So I'm listening to Buddy Nix's press conference and just as it ended, Jeremy White makes this statement as they are going off the air "Sabres JUST started there practice". He made it sound like they were suppose to start practice much early and then he went on to say "and Nathan Gerbe is the only one on the ice"

Is there a munity on the Sabres or is Ruff giving them an extended major ass chewing?

[SabreEleven]

Maybe they traded the whole team except Nathan Gerbe.

Ruff should really just step down if there mutiny

Well, Gerbe, Kaleta, and Leino and Vanek were the only guys who seemed to give full effort last game to me.

i'm guessing ass chewing is the reason... maybe he's making the rest of the team ride the bikes

I am fine if Vanek wears on one those in practice all season long.

Roy has been playing like he has been wear a red jersey all year long.

That's why he needs to go!

Why is it such a hard decision for the Sabres to cut Roy loose? EVERYONE should have realized when the Sabres started playing a LOT better after his injury last year that he brings NOTHING to the table.

We're at the half-way point of the season now - in theory there's still a chance to get in the playoffs IF changes are made NOW. It's not gonna get better unless ACTION is taken - there needs to be firings and a shakeup to get those guys out of their complacency . Roy would be a GREAT place to start with firings.

I agree, but unfortunately the NHL has guaranteed contracts, so it's not that easy. If they flat out cut him, they still have to eat his cap hit and I believe they still have to pay him, so essentially we'd be paying him to NOT be on the team.

The only other option is to find a trading partner, but it's not a video game. The rest of the NHL GM's see the same problems with Roy that we do.

i think the other GM's will see him as a talented player, who is just in a bad situation, and think that a change to their team is something that he would need.

rumor this past offseason was that Roy was one of the guys Ottowa wanted in return for Sepzza

Paying him to not be here might be better than paying him to be here at this point.

Roy is injured, watch the team go like 4-1 in the next 5,

Someone should trip him or put something in his gatorade bottle.
