a breh cant have a bad two games?



unlike most folks he didn't get ice speed, imagine misssing two weeks and just getting soft easy practice time

He's been slumping badly since the day he got named to the Olympic team. Bad pinches, bad passes, and poor defensive positioning. I think the contract negotiations and poor relationship with Michel Therrien are messing with his head.

That said, Therrien was a complete fakkit yesterday. It was a horrible mistake by PK last night, but he should not have been benched for the entire overtime. You live and die with your best players. Not only did he bench PK in OT, but also Daniel Briere who had 3 points and the ultra talented Alex Galchenyuk. The sooner he's fired, the better.

Therrien is doing exactly what he did in Pittsburgh. There's a reason why a coach gets fired right after going to the Cup finals. I can't wait till this fakkit is gone. Such a dumb idea to hire him. At this point, fukk language and just hire the best coach available.

Ryan Miller and Steve Ott have been traded to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for Jaroslav Halak, Chris Stewart, William Carrier, a first-round draft pick in 2015 and a third-round draft pick in 2016.

Potential targets for BUF if it flips Stewart to OTT: Mark Stone, Matt Puempel, Mark Borowiecki, Fredrik Claesson. Tim Murray knows em all.

Of course, wouldn't it be infinitely more interesting if BUF traded Stewart and Matt Moulson to OTT for a really big haul. Buckle up.

:wow:

isnt that a conflict of interest doing trades with your dad

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Sabres traded star goalie Ryan Miller and captain Steve Ott to theSt. Louis Blues on Friday night for goalie Jaroslav Halak, forward Chris Stewart, prospect William Carrier, a 2015 first-round pick and a 2016 third-round pick.

great trade for both teams

halak isnt that bad, and chris stewart is a rare big power forwad

plus they get a few picks

This had to be done, I'm loving it.

Feels like this was made simply because of how we've gotten stopped against Quick the past two years. Ott should give us some help offensively too.

miller is a legit goalie, the type you can ride in the playoffs, plus elliot is still a good backup.

that ott/lapierre line will be annoying as hell, blues may go all the way this year
