The statement could easily be putting Stafford in the pressbox for the next game and putting Larsson into the lineup to replace him. Of the two, I thought Stafford was worse than Leino and should be the one to sit.
How do you make a line irrelevant for most of the night? play Ennis at center
I can't disagree with that.
If they're going to lose games, lose them with effort. Didn't see that from Drew tonight.
You know what I hated about tonight? No passion/hustle and little physical play.
Yeah, Regier's fingerprints are still all over this team. **** can this guy before it's too late, Terry.
The Sabres were more physical than Detroit I thought.
Too bad Detroit completely outclasses them on talent.
I saw passion/hustle from Flynn, Grigs, Ott, Kaleta, Porter. But there's the talent level thing again.
Lazy and stupid were the two words that came to mind on most of the plays from Staff tonight. They can't afford for him to get the sort of ice he got and do things that are both lazy or stupid.
I can't disagree with that.

I disagree 100% on this point. Stafford is giving a ton of effort, however, the goals aren't there. I don't equate the two necessarily.
He backchecking and hustling. He's getting shots. I fail to see what statistic you're using to base your "stafford is lazy" argument on, if it's not goals.

That was more painful than I imagined it would be. I was picturing a young, exciting, bad team. Not just a young, bad team. The growing pains will be worse than I thought.
THE AMAZING: Some guy from /r/hockey on Reddit is going to get a new tattoo..
"If Zemgus scores tonight, I'm going to get a tattoo of a potato with the Sabres logo and ZG#28 on it."
and
"This is happening. I can't say exactly when, hopefully next week or the week after. Pics will definitely come. I give anyone who replied to that comment permission to remind me if I haven't delivered by the end of October. This will be my first tattoo haha"
Agenda pushing. He was arguably our most dangerous player, not that it says much.

Foligno & Larsson in.
Stafford & Leino out.
would anyone really have a problem with this?
i can handle highs and lows from youth. not sure i can deal with watching those 2 for 81 more.
