Re: scoreboard watch thread

No question the Penguins management was setting up the roster and making the penguins as weak as possible during the 83-84 season so they could draft Mario Lemiuex in 1984.. Benching a young goalie who played well in a few starts and playing a aging bum goalie in the minors.. I think Enroth should get more playing time lol

Re: scoreboard watch thread

Im not sure how this is any different then other rebuilds except the current bunch is terrible. Moving away old pieces for youth is pretty standard. Not to mention a new GM with a plan, he's building from the bottom up. It's completely necessary.

It's like Spiked said in the football forum. A year of diving I could live with. But at this point the fans need to just stop buying tickets to send Pegula a message that he should already be smart enough to realize and he isn't.

Honestly. The light is at the end of the tunnel. I firmly believe that. But I expect another down year next year before the team takes off. The sabres have the assets to make trades for established players once they get their young pieces lined up.

Re: scoreboard watch thread

Who in the hell are the Sabres going to surpass over the next 5 years to make the play-offs?

Lightening -- no way

Canadians -- no way

Bruins -- no way

Red Wings -- no way

Those are 4 proven, well managed hockey teams that never would consider tanking for 2+ years in order to acquire talent.

I doubt the Sabres surpass the Senators either.

Perhaps the Panthers and Leafs.

Making the play-offs in this division is no easy task.

Oh yeah? Who's going to be your scorer in 2016?

Living on a prayer is what you're doing.

what makes you think the youth wont develop enough to become assets by then? reinhart? give the kid another year, he will be fine. armia is coming along, grigo coming along, whoever the sabres draft this draft, still have moulson, ennis.

the team right now is really shallow. you give the kids another year, it wont be so shallow.

plus, there is always free agency and trading, which the "no free agents will play in buffalo" meme has been shot down.

Re: scoreboard watch thread

Like I said. You're living on a prayer.

Reinhart is skinny and weak. The other youngsters haven't shown it yet. What makes you SO sure they will "turn it on"????

You want me to refresh your memory of all the failed, highly touted Sabres high draft picks?

For you to project what you just did is ridiculous.

And the team is not looked at as a desirable free agent landing spot. Just ask Christian Ehrhoff.

Moulson is being offered up as a marquee player here. He was an expendable Islander.

And Ennis is a 3rd liner on any legitimate team.

Post like #100 is why guys like Spiked make fun of you. It's looking into the future with fan-boy blinders on.

i could explain it, but i already have for months, and it wouldnt make an ounce of difference. we look at the team differently, and thats fine.

as far ask spiked goes, i couldnt care less.

There's a website called mceichel.com that shows standings ect. It's basically a tank site.
