Pre-Game Talk: Sabres vs Leafs Feb 21st, 2013

[mikebel111*]

Are you that oblivious? Or just being sarcastic? Or maybe just high?

It's not January. We are in February. Tomorrow will be February 21st --- not January 21st.

Silly me, my bad
Oh and I am never high, forgot we are in feb

[The Saurus]

Exactly, I don't know why people are saying that I messed up the dates

 

[Marlboro]

Leafs key to the game
-get Lindy Ruff fired

 

[mikebel111*]

Everyone makes mistakes, and I admit it
I'm guessing people can't make errors

 

[DD03]

Hahaha that was a pretty good mistake.

Just relax,collect yourself,deep breath

 

[ForSpareParts*]

the leafs need a bounce back

 

[mikebel111*]

Hahaha that was a pretty good mistake.

My pleasure

 

[mikebel111*]

Just relax,collect yourself,deep breath

That helps

 

[Mogwai]

I HATE buffalo and cannot wait for them not to play them anymore this year.

Need to win the season series this year.

Go leafs go.

One thing that has me really excited:

We are essentially icing a team right now that would be closer to the salary floor than the salary cap.

Liles 3.8M
Komisarek 4.5M
Lupul ~4M, 5.25M future
Connolly 4.75M
Dead cap from Tucker, Armstrong and Lombardi ~3M

That's roughly 20M in cap space that we're not using right now and the team has still played good.

Komi probably gets amnesty, Liles is probably going to get traded (Detroit would be a good location), Lupul is injured right now but when he's back he'll be back with Kessel, Connolly is gone, Tucker's buy out ends after this year, Lombardi is off the hook after this year..

We'll have a ton of cap space and a very good team.

-get Lindy Ruff fired

Well that was easy.

Buffalo always plays Toronto hard and Miller seems to engage God mode whenever he sees some Leafs sweaters as well.

Leafs should wear the sweaters backwards then. Miller would see the numbers instead of logo and would think that he is facing wrong way. Then we can score when he turns his back...

Sounds like a plan.

Scary..............

Quick Marlboro... make other bold statements

 

[mix1home]

Gotta be Seivens. Only option right now if we want a chance to win some games.

I wanted to see Rynnas yesterday with TB. I'm afraid that Srievens would get burned out playing so many games in short period of time. He is not used to play so many games at such a pace.

The Buffalo Sabres have relieved coach Lindy Ruff of his duties.

Tuesday night's 2-1 home loss to the Winnipeg Jets left the Sabres with a 6-10-1 record this season, their 13 points the fewest in the Northeast Division and tied for the third-fewest in the Eastern Conference.

Ruff, who played most of his NHL career for the Sabres, began coaching the team in 1997-98 and was the longest-tenured coach in the League. He led the Sabres to the 1999 Stanley Cup Final and had a career regular-season record of 562-452-84 along with 78 ties.

 

[ACC1224]

I just got a text that Ruff was fired.

 

[mikebel111*]

So ruff fired, that is scary
Imagine if they hire wilson

 

[mikebel111*]

I just got a text that Ruff was fired.

[Suntouchable13]

It had to happen right before they played the Leafs

Could they not have waited until after the Leafs beat them tomorrow!
