Give it time then, you never know what could happen in two months time before the season actually starts.

If your #1 star and face of the team likes and wants his backup back (which was on display at the NHL awards), that's exactly what's going to happen.

Damn all ready...DAMN!!! SabresBillsFan, MakinItLookMean, you come around and say the same damn thing over and over like some incoherant psycho ward patient babbling and rocking back and forth in the corner of a padded room.

Take a look at the market and tell us who the fark you think is the option for back-up goalie. I'll give you guys a can't lose super double sure-fire hint...Biron isn't better than Lalime...HE'S NOT BETTER, DEAL WITH IT. Nabokov and Turco are not going to sign anywhere as a back-up for 15-20 games a season either. If Lalime wants back, he's as good as anyone but Theodore, and Theodore probably won't sign for under 1.5 mil. No pure back-up (at 15 games a season) should get paid over 1 mil. After that it's Enroth, but letting him play in Portland to keep getting better might be a better option than having him sit most of an NHL season.

I can't tell you guys to stop being retards with all your one-line anti-Darcy babble, but I'll sure as hell keep pounding your posts to dust every time you start up with the ignorant (and lame) criticism.

Pretty much what he said.

Kid is starting to really bug me. I havent said a mean word about anyone on this site since I joined almost 6 months ago but SBF might just drive me to it. Its getting to the point where I just avoid threads he's posted in because it inevitably veers into him crying about Darcy being a bad man! and then everyone just ripping on him and telling him to stop being a tool.

This deserves a dramatic slow clap, allow me to get it started...



I have no problem with Lalime returning.

On a different note, who do the Sabres have in the minors as far as goal-tending goes? Just wondering if the 3rd option is any good in case there's a lot of injuries.

I have always liked Lalime and rarely find myself saying "what are you doing!!??" when he's in net.

We have Enroth in Portland but I don't know if we signed his backup JP Lamoureux (the guy with the twin sisters who played in the Olympics for team USA)

I think we have a few guys we drafted in previous years hanging around juniors or college.

lalime is slow, thats the problem with him. he was an all-star last decade with the sens, and he was a tier 2 goalie during that time (think olaf kolzig, curtis joseph in their primes) but no he has no lateral movement post to post. hes a solid dude, and he wasnt that bad last year, but the sabres are an average team with a great goalie, and when lalime is in, that is exposed. this isnt the late 90s sabres when hasek did it by himself, but the sabres still played good defense.

am i opposed to bringing lalime back? no, but id like them to exercise all options before hand. i would rather have enroth back up miller, but im not sold on enroth being anything more then an average goaltender. but i cant see him playing hurting any. its times like this i wish the sabres still had mika noronen. he was alot better then people realize.

You and I son't always agree on things, but this sums my feelings up 100%.

Did u just compare Lala in his prime to Cujo in his prime? Cujo in his prime was wayy better than Lala in his prime.
As for bringing him back as the back-up. I'm okay with that. Like people have already said if it keeps Miller happy I'm all for it.

You know who we need right about now....anyone??? YES, BULLTHEFIREFIGHTER!!! If anyone was in love with Lalime, it was him.

in lalimes prime, yeah man. it was close. i said he was second tier goalie, then mentioned other second tier goalies for comparison.

If Darcy does nothing over this summer but sign Leopold and some unmentionable signings, he is OFFICIALLY a bad GM.

Fuck it. You can bitch and moan about me posting this, but I will keep it going. I love how one guy tries to agree with an opinion and SFS1980 drips his period all over his thoughts...

I am not saying Darcy wont do anything now, but if he does the same thing as last year he deserves the boot.

For the record, Darcy Regier has a known track record of making player signings on the 4th of July. To the tune of a five-year streak. Think about it.

My votes on Patty K getting re-upped... home town kid, make the fans all warm and fuzzy on the 4th... of course the question is, are those signings players he has brought in or resigned?

I could also see LaLa getting re-upped as well... so it could be a Patty July 4th double... Which I'd be fine with... Love what Patty K brings to the team! And if Miller wants LaLa and LaLa saves some some cash, than a one year deal is in order!

Side question on goalies... could, if Patty La was open to it, sign a two way deal? So, the Sabres could work Enroth in a little bit? Would that make any sense at all? I know you don't want to take to many games away from miller... But we also don't want to run him into the ground...

_________________

Well I was going to include you in that post too, but I didn't want to needlessly flame things with you since you hadn't chimed in with the BS lately. But now...

You're PMSing all about Darcy every day. Is that what this website is for you...a place to come and bitch about Darcy? Does that make your day oh so much better? Maybe you don't care how much you sound like one hundred thousand other sports bumpkins that think they know everything better about their team. Let's just pretend that you could run the Sabres. Yeah, that's it. You're a savy GM that knows all the right moves. You're connected, and know just what players and their agents want at this time of year. You know how to swindle other GMs and make a sure-fire Cup winning team. You, yes you B&Y are everybody's choice to replace Regier. F-ing swell!

Well, even though you are the man...the head honcho know-it-all, tha vast majority of the rest of us don't want to see you, SBF, and MiLM, frothing at the mouth every damn farking day about what an idiot you think Darcy is. WE FUCKING GET IT! So for the sake of the rest of the board, can you just give it a rest? Maybe Crosscheck can make another posting section called "Bitch about Darcy". You and your small circle jerk can have at it all the day long with all the stupid, tired, old and lame one liners that have been hurled a million times before from know-it-all podunks all over the country like yourself.

In all seriousness Crosscheck, just make another section for them to post in. This is getting ridiculous.

So, he signs Leopold... Grier, Weber, McCormick, (assume) Patty K, Patty La, Ellis... and you'd be pissed that the team that the division WINNER from last year is worse? And the GM is bad? How?

Do I think a move or two above that needs to be done, well sure, BUT I understand that the deals and or players might NOT be there...

I don't see the blueline being much weaker with Weber and Leopold being added in... is it ideal, no, Id like to see one more top 4 D-man added, BUT they might NOT be there AND Weber could turn into that! So the blueline loses a notch in experience BUT gains in youth and energy! Call it a wash...

Goalie... Well Miller is a stud... and if LaLa makes Miller happy... GIVE ME LALA!

Forwards.... the only guy I want moved it Stafford.... other that that a few minor additions and they will be fine... Ennis seems ready for the big club! IF Mancari could put it all together he could be a stud... Roy, Connley, Goose are not a bad one two three... Vanek will be fine... someone like Stemp would be a nice addition because he is versatile, but a bit streaky.

so I just don't see the BIG move that you want Darcy to make! The roster doesn't need to be blown up! And we have some young cats that need a chance! and really only one guy I want to send packing... Stafford, just because he plays like a girl, no offense Ladies.

Do you want to get fleeced by Burke for Kaberle?

How about you stop bitching and add some ideas of WHAT YOU think Darcy should be doing... that would be more helpful than bitching....
