Did anybody see what he did playing on the 4th line that warranted his promotion for the rest of the game? I didn't. Kind of seemed like... a gift?

"The last eight weeks of performance have been below average and I believe a change in the direction at ice level is necessary," Gainey told a news conference. "Our team did not seem to be emotionally engaged."

Stafford is the most unmotivated player on the Sabres.
Hurls

Hey, look. It's the guy who only posts when they lose. Do you mean Drew Stafford who only played 7:50 in the game and had a total of one shift in the 3rd period? Boy he sure got a gift!

P.S. That one shift in the 3rd period lasted 22 seconds. HE MUST HAVE PICTURES OF RUFF TO GET SUCH A GIFT!

There are posts on internet message boards that make me say "What the fuck is this guy talking about???"
This is one of those posts.
What the fuck are you talking about pigpen?

Stafford is a fucking bum, as evidenced by his ice time. Ruff didn't gift him jack shit.

is this thread sarcastic? the guy wasn't on the ice.. RJ even commented on it and thought he was hurt.

You're officially off the deep end.

God, you've completely divorced yourself from reality. Stafford barely even played in the 3rd. I never bought the notion that you don't watch the games, but now I'm really starting to wonder.
"The last eight weeks of performance have been below average and I believe a change in the direction at ice level is necessary," Gainey told a news conference. "Our team did not seem to be emotionally engaged."
Since when? Stafford has only played 34 games in the AHL, i think maybe the least amount of any player on the roster aside from Connolly and the foreigners. He stepped into the roster on a scoring line, and has pretty much played the last two years previous with Roy and Vanek. Have you always known he was a bum?

Any question as to whether he was injured rather than benched can be put to rest. From today's Buffalo News:
Right wing Drew Stafford was benched for all but one shift of the third period. He was on the ice for Ottawa's two second-period goals. Stafford had just 7:50 of ice time, including 22 seconds in the third.
"He struggled. That's the bottom line," Ruff said. "He was on for a couple goals, and the last couple games he just wasn't getting a lot done."
Confirming what most of us already knew.
