You're right. It doesn't. But accountability matters. Right now there isn't any on this team. Stripping Rivet of the C would show the team that Lindy is holding them accountable, and that's what this bunch of complacent losers needs.Originally Posted by Ground Chuck
Wow. I just listened to the audio from Miller's interview last night and he pretty much went off. Nice to see someone on the team actually gives a ****.
Ugh, I have much to say on this game... In fact, I think I'll just post an article on our site when I get a chance today about it and post it back here when I'm done.
That video is worth watching....ABOUT ****ING TIME!!!!!!!!
He said the same thing a lot of us have been saying. They have been playing poor for a long time and getting away with it. What he left out and probably wanted to say was they have been gettin away with it because of him.
That is the same audio I listened to, but it was definitely worth watching.
Maybe not today, but with the actual deadline coming, I can't imagine that the Sabres FO can ignore this.
He is the face of the franchise. The part of what he said during the first intermission is exactly what I mean when I say the player's wearing the C and A's need to start acting like it or give it up to someone else who wants that role.
Man, if HE said that stuff to the media, he MUST have been pissed. Hopefully the FO listens to him because he is this franchise right now.
Wow! It's about ****ing time that he comes out and speaks about the problems of this team. He's saying what the rest of us are all thinking!
Damn! He wasn't just calling them out for the slump. He basically called out the team and said he's been pissed off for months! This is HUGE! I love this quote...
"I don't think we've been playing well enough for a long time. We've been getting away with it."
That sounds like a player that is telling the team that he's sick of having every single thing fall on his shoulders. Wow! Well done, Ryan Miller!

Can Miller get the C? He's a ****ing captain if I've ever seen one.
“You hold a players only meeting and get each guy to stand up and say what he can bring to the table... and if he doesn't, you punch him in the face.” ~~ Harry Neale, on how to fix the Sabres season.
He can't wear the C, but a goalie can be the captain of a team.
I ****ing love him. I'm getting Miller put on my new/old school jersey.
Same with me.
Even before this season I've seen instances of him where he does this and the team responds.
I remember back in 06-07 (I believe) where he threw his stick across the ice when playing Toronto and the Sabres stormed back for like 4 goals in the third to win it.
