Alright, pack it up, shut off the lights, bring out the fat lady. Time for Max to find someone to sublet his apartment, Lindy Ruff better update his monster.com account, Tallinder better pack his bags. Cause the Sabres aren't goin to the playoffs.
Not sure if it was the five L's put up against Ottawa, or the four eggs laid to the Thrashers or even the two loses each to the Lightning and Islanders, but this team will be playing golf in April for the second year in a row. Four out of six years without the playoffs? Pathetic.Ruff and Regier need to be fired. And if that is not feasible, although I see very little real argument against it, then the entire roster needs to be overhauled. Overhaul meaning trade the likes of either Roy, Vanek, or Pominville, attempt to pawn Hecht off on someone, move Tallinder and Lydman, and think long and hard about the future of Drew Stafford.
It is plain as day. This team is not good enough. Without doing anything other than allowing the players that are about to become UFAs walk and keeping the core together AND the head coach and GM; nothing will change. This team will get marginally better at best and will never compete realistically for a Stanley Cup. They couldn't even get to the finals with Drury and Briere! We're suppose to beieve now they'll get there cause Connolly, Vanek and Miller will all be playing at the same time? Cause Pominville and Hecht will have a bounce back season? Cause Ruff has gotten there before? Don't even point to Gerbe, Kennedy or Mancari.
Time to blow it up Golisano. And hey, at least you get a head start.
