OFFICIAL '10-'11 BUFFALO SABRES SEASON THREAD

EA has a few retired athletes. That is all.

Anyone else laugh when they showed Connoly with his busted up nose?

Didn’t laugh but his face is fucked up

Biron isn’t going anywhere as far as the Rangers are concerned. He’s moving from his Amherst home to EA, that’s all.

Derek Roy is out for the rest of the season. This pretty much kills any playoff hope the team may have still had.

I like that you referred to the Sabres as having ANY playoff hopes. Everyone must be in a good mood because of the Holidays. You don’t drop TWO conference games against the Panthers and expect to crack the top 8.

I think a lot of trades need to be done.
Either Pominville or Connoly should go and get rid of Hecht, Grier, Morrisonn.

keep grier

Im not a big fan of Grier. He seems like a nice guy and all but all his teammates ever say is he’s a “leader in the locker room”. There’s a difference from contributing in the locker room than on the ice. We might as well pay Tony Robbins to motivate this heartless team if thats what Grier does and apparently its not working. Every time Ive seen Grier have a scoring chance he finds a way to screw it up.
Id like to see Lindy gone as well after this year which I think will happen if we dont make the playoffs. It would be best for the team and best for Lindy since he will win the cup elsewhere but not here in Buffalo.

UP for the first game of the Pegula era.

Ruff says this game has “a playoff feel to it.” It should, there’s gonna be a lot of guys playing for more than just a W tonight.

No Homo but i laughed at Grier being a leader in the locker room,

He’s the only black guy on the team lol

I’ll be in Section 309 tonight.

He also doesn’t skate for shit. He gives a full 6/10ths. rolleyes

Agreed, I was always confused on how people liked him this season. I can go out there and coast around with a stick.

Grier sucksssssssss. I want to see him an conolly both go right now.

I have not given up on Grier. The man knows his role on the team and goes out and does it. We didn’t sign him to score goals. He’s out there to give our top lines some rest, kill penalties, and generate some physical play. Does he do it every night at 100%? Maybe not but when he gets going he can certainly take off for a 36 year old 224 pound man. That’s a lot of weight to get moving, especially when we’re used to seeing guys like Gerbe and Ennis zip around the ice. Of course it looks like he’s coasting compared to them. But at least the sabres have made one good move recently, and that’s dropping our lame excuse for a captain:

I would have 100% agreed with you last season about Grier. The guy was out to play. This year though, he just needs to retire.

They need to do what they did with craig rivet. Put him on waivers and if nobody picks him, he will be forced to retire. It is the easiest, most respectful way to let someone see how the league really feels about them.

What does NYSpeed think about Nick Foligno? That is one of the rumors flying around. He seems to be a bit of a Sabrekiller but maybe he just plays up for his pops old team.
Hoping something good happens before Monday.

I think he’s fucking useless. He would bring NOTHING to this team. We need to unload dead weight, not add more.
