    You never read what Sabres fans say or what listen to what they do you?

    It was a running commentary on him

    I always thought it was stupid (to say the least) but a lot of people said he was lazy
    Was that a knock on him coming into the draft?

    Or was it a lable the fans gave him?

    I'm against drafting anyone outside of North America, Euros don't like to play a 2 way game in the NHL.

    im not against drafting euros. some of the best players ever have come from overseas. i dont believe in a behavior of play as a broad stereotype. every player is different. some you hit on, some you miss. and as a 19 year old, jury is still out on grigo. am i concerned? yes.

    im betting he comes to his senses and reports to quebec in a few days.

    Re: sabres prospect talk

    the handling of grigo was pure **** by the former front office... murray is trying to clean the mess up and grigo is taking offense to it.

    he should've never been rushed to the NHL in the first place.

    vanek played a decent two way game himself. datsyuk....

    euros are fine. some hit, some miss. grigo might be a miss. time will tell. i have patience.

    Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg disagree with you

    The anti Euro stance is one of the dumbest things I read when discussing hockey

    If anything, When his contracts are up he's going to be all about getting paid.
    yeah but with no game tape to speak of, it should be pretty easy to get him at a good price. But you never know, that is always the gamble when you draft a russian player.

    Yes it's a gross generalization but it comes from some truth. I would argue that most of the Swedes and Finns are good and play a solid two way game but the reputation comes from years of watching every russian but Ovechkin, Malkin and maybe Fedorov worry about numbers and money. Datsyuk too, can't forget the best of them.

    Re: sabres prospect talk

    funny you mention federov. there were times in detroit when bowman would put federov on the blueline for stretches of games. bowman was so impressed with federovs defensive skill, he glowed that he was the best dman on the team. lidstrom didnt disagree. bowman thought federov could win multiple norris trophies at the position.

    Right and here we are talking about 4 or 5 russians out of all of them. Speaks volumes in my opinion.

    Re: sabres prospect talk

    Ovechkin has (32) goals scored and he's a minus (15)

    That happens because he's a lazy ass Russian, He only cares about one side of the ice...LOL

    devine talks grigo/risto/zadorov as well as the 2015 draft right after WJC. devine also talks about the progress grigo has made.

    heres hoping grigo comes to his senses and reports.

    Re: sabres prospect talk

    aaron ekblad scored 4 goals last night. 3 on the PP, 1 SH

    ekblad or reinhart (on the fence) doesnt matter. they are going to get a good player.

    baptiste added a goal and 2 assist for sudbury.
