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!

After turning some heads at development camp, Sabres first round pick Zemgus Girgensons will forego college and go straight to the pros. The Buffalo Sabres have officially announced that they've signed Girgensons to a three-year, entry-level deal. The 14th overall pick in the 2012 draft is elligible to play with the Sabres or their AHL affiliate, the Rochester Americans.
Bingo. He couldn't stand seeing Briere score because he should of been back on defense instead, it's the way defenseman like the forwards to play.
lmao. what?
with briere/drury the sabres rolled as many scoring lines as possible and tried to outscore everybody. defensemen constantly pinched in to create offense... briere had his best offensive years under ruff

Ruff's tendencies have always been about being a defensive team, so Briere & Drury were counter his culture. Exactly why did Ruff have to roll the lines to try to score all the time, especially during the playoffs that final season with them ?? Oh that's right, we had a Rochester caliber defense after all the injuries that ended up costing us the Carolina series.
Statistically speaking, offensive players come to Buffalo to die. I guess you can blame all of them or face the reality that a majority of the time we'll stick close to how Ruff played, defensively. Please see the 69.2% average via TBN here, then you'll get the idea:

what does this even mean? post-lockout the sabres opened up the ice and ruff adjusted his scheme to the talent. briere/drury had career years here playing under ruff. there's plenty of things to criticize ruff for, but blaming him for anything to do with briere is just beyond stupid.

Where did I blame Ruff for Briere? I am just pointing out that having players like Briere be creative is against Ruff's nature. How many 40 goal scorers have we had over the past 5 seasons ?? Think there's a reason that's the case ?

When Vanek's gifted all of 12-13 minutes TOI per game, you aren't going to have many 40 goal players.

I have to laugh with you. Between PTI and Murray you can bet research and facts could never trump their perceptions
