Not to steer the thread too far astray, but excuses aside the Sabres lost that series primarily due to inexperience. That's no excuse either, that's just a cold hard fact. No team as inexperienced as they were has ever gone far in the playoffs. No matter how talented. Granted, the injuries were difficult to overcome but that's just hockey. It's a given that any team worthy of the Cup is going to overcome adversity like injuries along the way. But there's no getting around a lack of experience.

Now they all have it. Now they know that you have to have a lot left to give at the end of the regular season. A lot left.

I agree about him being a warrior. I used to hate him when he was with Montreal and was pining for us to get him when he was traded to SJ. But, that early in the season he better be 100% before coming back, we really could use a big bounce back season from a healthy Rivet and the first 10-30 games should not be so important as to put that in jeopardy

I'm hoping a healthy Rivet will make Chris Butler not look so fucking terrible too.

Damn it, if only I'd thrown in Morrison's name I'd almost look smart. Still, that's the type of move I was hoping for to bump out Sekera or Butler. Now we could have...

Leopold-Myers
Morrison-Rivet (healthy and kicking ass)
Weber-Montador
Sekera/Butler (whoever doesn't get traded away)

I agree, lol. I think you'll see Morrisonn and Myers together, and Leopold and Rivet together though. Just a hunch.

Swap Leopold with Morrisonn, and I can dig what you got goin on there.

Hell I don't care what the pairings are, as long as those two #8 d-men don't see starting minutes any farking more.

You're sure to get some bruises playing against that.

If the starting defense is Morrisonn/Myers, Leopold/Rivet, Weber/Montador with Sekera or Butler at 7th and Grags as the emergency call-up, I will be pleased with Darcy's scheming this off-season.

As how injured Rivet was last year I would like to see no more of him. He better be at least healthy this year if not then let him go or make him retire.

He just had surgery for a DOUBLE TORN LABRUM. His rehab is ahead of schedule, and he will kick ass this season.

Yup, but I hope he takes it easy in the beginning of the season. I'd hate for us to lose him for a big stretch for Craig to play hurt and be ineffective.
